Signup Information
I will be hosting a small game to be run some time before the Christmas week (next week or two, really) and will not reveal a setup until I know what number I am working with. If I get 7 players I will start the game 24 hours from the 7th signup.
Looking to host either a 5-player or 7-player here. If I get bombarded with even more than that I'll certainly host for a larger number but I'm going to see if we can reach those low numbers first.
Edit: Subs are welcome, it's large enough at 9.
NEWER PLAYERS PLEASE READ
If you have not played this game before, I advise reading a past game for an example of how a usual game of forum mafia goes down and understand that the game takes at least 30min to an hour of your day if you sign-ups, as this isn't as casual as other games in The Basement.
Example of a basic game and how it goes: https://www.belltreeforums.com/show...s-by-Demand-(ENDGAME-AND-THE-FINAL-MAFIA-IS-)

An introduction to TBT mafia by KarlaKGB:
Welcome to TBT Mafia. Mafia is a game of the informed minority versus the uninformed majority. To elaborate, the game is divided into two teams: the Town and the Mafia. Mafia know who each other are, and can coordinate their actions privately. Town on the other hand don't know anything other than their own role. To compensate, there are many more Townies than Mafia.
At the beginning of the game, you are PM'd your role. The game is divided into repeating phases of Day and Night. Day will generally last 48 hours and revolve around voting for a player to be lynched. Each player (including Mafia) get one vote, and players must figure out who the Mafia are, and convince others that they are correct. At the end of the day, the person with the most votes is lynched, and their alignment and role are revealed.
Night is typically 24 hours long and is reserved for Mafia night kills and players with special abilities. Usually, players discuss the results of the lynch at night, and make plans for the next day. When night ends, everyone will be informed of who died during the night. The new day will begin, and discussions for the lynch begin anew.
Mafia is a game of logic, intuition, persuasiveness, reading ability, emotion, and will. In short, its a thinking man's game. There are many different ways to approach the game and every game is a very different experience. In addition, Mafia is not for the faint-hearted or overly emotional. While not occurring every game, sometimes people can get into very heated arguments with one another. People can get very emotional playing Mafia, as it is a high-intensity endeavour. That being said, playing Mafia is an excellent to develop thick skin, improve your patience, and make yourself a stronger person mentally.
Be warned - Mafia requires a time commitment. This generally depends on the player, but at minimum 30 minutes a day of solid effort is required. As part of the time commitment, Mafia requires a great deal of reading. Most people are actually quite poor at reading comprehension and playing Mafia is a great way to improve your reading ability, as well as your writing and ability to think and argue logically.
