♛ A closed set-up, no-PM game with unique role names. ♛
In a country decimated by war, a single city stands solid like a citadel amongst the rubble. While 90% of it's citizens struggle to make ends meet the Bolero family live like Kings. They have the food, the wealth, the arms, and the leaders of a corrupt government tied tight around Godfather Sergio Bolero's little finger.
But it appears that someone has grown weary of Sergio's reign. When he is imprisoned on accusation of manslaughter, the family begins to crumble without his wisdom and guidance. But firstborn son Daniel Bolero sees a hole in the story. His father might be a liar, a vandal, a cheat, a thief, a torturer, a homewrecker, and all-round scum of the earth - but he is not a murderer. With members of his family turning on one other, Daniel reluctantly takes his place as their new leader. Someone needs to pick up the pieces and find the truth - but with his father's men being picked off one by one, it might be difficult to find the proof he needs. Besides, where does one start looking for a murderer when every known crook in the city is on your payroll?

♟ Mafia Novices ♟
| Mafia is a game of the uninformed majority versus the informed minority. 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 players on the other hand don't know anything other than their own role. To compensate, there are many more Town than Mafia. The objective of the game is for Town to eliminate by killing or lynching all the Mafia before it is too late. The game is divided into repeating phases of Day and Night. Day revolves around voting for a player to be lynched. Night is reserved for the Mafia to make their kills and certain players to use their special abilities. |
| This game requires dedication. You will be required to dedicate time to the game daily (at least thirty minutes) while you are an active participant in the game, with at least one substancial post per day/night phase. Failure to do so without warning the host in advance of inactivity will result in modkill. |
|
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. |

♞ General Information ♞
| Most returning players will be familiar with the following. These are the rules regarding WoTC, Activity, Day/Night Cycles, etc. Please review them so you understand how this game will be run. |
|
PMs
PMs and other out-of-thread communication are NOT allowed UNLESS you are explicitly told otherwise. Activity: You must vote every day you are alive, and must contribute one substantial post at least once every full day/night cycle. This means that if you only make one post, it needs to be more substantial than simply saying "I agree" or "RIP". If you post multiple times, this rule may may be less strict. There may be exceptions to this if day/night phases progress rapidly at any stage in the game. If I don't believe you're contributing enough I'll send you a warning PM. Wisdom of the Crowds Wisdom of the Crowds is in effect in this game. However, do not contact me regarding your vote until after I give the green light. Replacements This game uses replacements. Replacements will be made up until the end of Day 2. Time Cycle: This game follows an approximate 48-hour day cycle, with a 24-hour night cycle. The final deadline will always be 12AM BST (7pm EST). This may be reduced in the later stages of the game. |
♝ Rules ♝
| Cheating: Cheating includes (but it is not limited to):
Mod Font: This is the mod colour. It is reserved for the host. Please do not use it. Question Font: This is the question colour. Use it to ask the host questions about the rules in public. You can also PM me. Spam: Strategic spam is acceptable, within reason. Editing: Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be modkilled. While I ask for everybody to post as concisely as possible, post again if you have to edit anything. The board software automatically merges the posts anyway. Inappropriate posts: Mafia games can get heated and emotional. Please keep it civil and remember that what happens in Mafia stays in Mafia. Don't let things spill over to the rest of the forum, it's just a game. If you are unhappy with a player's posts, PM me first. Observers' Chat: While spectators will be fuelling speculation, and dead players will be keen to give valuable "insight" into the game, please refrain from revealing game-changing information (eg. the identities of your fellow Mafia). Speculate, theorise and express bewilderment at dumb plays all you want, but remember that the chat is not leakproof and game-ruining information CAN get out. Play to win. You should try your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. Clearly not playing towards your win objective will be grounds for a modkill and personal ban from me. However, this does not mean that you should try to win by being a jerk to the other players so they all want to quit playing. This also means that you cannot leave the game without a good reason. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM the host if you need to leave the game. However, please note that in most cases this will prevent you from being able to join another game in the near future. To be exempt from this penalty you will need to have an extremely good reason for leaving (and "I forgot I had homework/exams!!" does not count). |
