This setup will lead to a longer game than you might be used to. Please only sign up if you can commit the time.
The Animal Crossing fandom is under attack. A group wielding great power, known only as The Conglomerate, has been initiating hostile takeovers of major community hubs. The Bell Tree was first to fall, its upper echelons of command purged. Former decorated staff were thrown out, banished to the Sage's Realm. Now that the Conglomerate has established itself in the seat of power, it must cast out the elements in Bell Tree that still resist - the incorruptible employees that make up the bulk of the workforce.
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.
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.
A whistleblower from within the beleaguered Bell Tree organisation has garnered vital information as to how the command structure of the "Conglomerate" operates.
The Conglomerate (henceforth referred to as the 'Mafia') operates by a typical bureaucratic chain of command as illustrated below. Altogether, there are 9 Mafia.
Communication and knowledge works differently here than in a normal Mafia game.
Can the slow, lumbering, bureaucratic behemoth that is the Mafia prevail under its sheer weight?
Actions may NOT be withdrawn or changed after they have been sent.
Feel free to ask me if anything is unclear.
Town win condition: Eradicate all Mafia.
Mafia win condition: Eradicate all Town.
PMs
PMs and other out-of-thread communication are NOT allowed UNLESS you are explicitly told otherwise. If you are caught discussing the game outside of the thread (PMs, VMs, IRC, Skype etc..), I will permanently ban you from my games, and push for the longest "official" ban for you.
Activity:
You must vote every day you are alive, and must post at least once every full day/night cycle.
Wisdom of the Crowds
Wisdom of the Crowds is in effect. You may PM me with the name of a player you do not want to play with. If I get enough PMs about that person, they will be excluded from the game. This will be done with the utmost confidency.
Replacements
This game uses replacements. Replacements will be made up until the end of Night 2.
Time Cycle:
This game follows an approximate 48/24 cycle. There will be a half-hour resolution period before the end of night where no further actions may be sent. The deadlines will always be 11PM GMT. This means that if day ends early, nights will be extended to keep to the deadline.
Smurfs:
Smurfs and Hydras are not allowed.
Encryption:
Don't do it.
Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to):
1. Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, but it may not contain any potentially game-changing information.
2. Ruining the game by doing something like handing out your mafia's member list to the town.
3. Logging on to someone else's account to get their role or looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
4. Comparing role PM timings to try and work out roles.
5. Posting or sharing any PM you receive from a host without permission.
6. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
7. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
8. Offering favours/items/bells outside of the game for a ingame information.
9. Sharing accounts with other players.
10. Breadcrumbing the specific phrasing of your role PM. Do not compare the phrasing in your role PM to prove your alignment. You can claim the abilities you have, but you can't use the specific phrasing of your role PM.
11. Posting a false PM phrased as if you received it from the host. You can still fake roleclaim, but you cannot make it look like you are posting a PM you received from the host.
YOU MAY ONLY COPY AND PASTE TEXT FOR USE AS EVIDENCE. POSTING SCREENSHOTS OR ANY OTHER NON-TEXT EVIDENCE IS CONSIDERED CHEATING. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS EVIDENCE THAT IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE FOR ALL PLAYERS TO CHECK (eg. post counts in a thread). IT IS BEST IF YOU CHECK WITH ME FIRST.
Cheating is not tolerated here as it ruins the game for everyone. The mods and admins here CAN take action.
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. Don't be a tool about it. Mafia is also not a ****ing roleplay.
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. Only if you are dissatisfied with the outcome should you involve the TBT staff.
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.
You have been warned.
This game will use the TBT banlist. In addition, if you screw around in my game, I will ban you from all of my future games, official list aside.
1. This game uses Extended Majority Lynch. That is, the day must run for at least 24 hours before anyone will be lynched. A player will be lynched if they attain over 50% of the votes.
2. You must vote, even to not lynch.
3. Voting is done in another thread.
4. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote: Username. Votes not done in the correct fashion may not be counted.
5. If you want to change your vote, first type ##Unvote followed by your new vote ##Vote: Username. You can change your vote at any time and as much as you like (within reason) up until a majority is reached.
6. No conditional voting.
7. You may vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!

Setup Information
This game uses an Closed setup. Roles are hidden and are only revealed upon death, with the full role PM posted. Keep an open mind and make no assumptions.A whistleblower from within the beleaguered Bell Tree organisation has garnered vital information as to how the command structure of the "Conglomerate" operates.
The Conglomerate (henceforth referred to as the 'Mafia') operates by a typical bureaucratic chain of command as illustrated below. Altogether, there are 9 Mafia.
Communication and knowledge works differently here than in a normal Mafia game.
- The CEO knows the Chairman of the Board and the President of Marketing. He can send orders to one of them every half cycle.
- The Chairman of the Board and the President of Marketing know 3 minions each. They can send orders to one minion every half cycle.
- There is no upwards or lateral communication or knowledge.
- Minions know nothing except for their own role. They each may have an ability. The two middle executives have no innate abilities.
- Any communication is in the form of an order and is one way. The executive PMs the mod, and the mod PMs the intended target. There will be strict censoring of any attempt to communicate anything beyond orders or basic strategy (such as the identity of the other Mafia members). However, there is no word limit.
- As such, there is no scum QT.
- The Mafia kill process goes like this:
During the day, all Mafia members except for the CEO send in the name of who they wish to kill. Then, the CEO will choose to kill one player on the list by the night deadline. On even numbered nights, the CEO chooses two players to die.
Can the slow, lumbering, bureaucratic behemoth that is the Mafia prevail under its sheer weight?
Actions may NOT be withdrawn or changed after they have been sent.
