Introduction:

Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of the game is to lynch or kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. It's much like a game of poker because mafia members are also part of the town during the day and may manipulate the vote to their liking. If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal the townspeople, they win. The town's goal is to lynch all the members of the mafia.

The game is typically very active, so the thread will get big quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game. If you do not have the time or patience to read the whole thread, do not play. I will not compensate for ignorance.

Rules:

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 hand 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 times to determine roles.
5. Posting screenshots of your inbox.
6. Posting or sharing any PM you receive from a host.
7. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
8. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
9. Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
10. Sharing accounts with other players unless cleared by the host in advance. Otherwise, only you may post on your account.
11. 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.
12. Posting a false role 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.
Cheating is not tolerated here. The punishment will be severe.

Posting:

Mod Font:
This is mod font. It is reserved for moderators. Please do not use it.

Question Font:
This is question font. Use it to ask the moderators questions about the rules. Please do us a favor and read the rules before you ask anything.

Activity:
You must post in this thread once per day/night cycle and vote every day while you are alive. If you fail to do so, you will be modkilled.

Smurfs:

Smurfs must PM the host because TL doesn't allow multiple accounts otherwise. If the host is unaware of smurfs, you (and/or your smurf) can be banned for having multiple accounts.

Spam:
Spam is not tolerated, nor is any off-topic material. Do not discuss Proleague here. Do not talk about Starcraft II here. Play Mafia here. This also means you should condense your posts when possible. 15 one-liners in 30 minutes is unacceptable.

Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be modkilled. This is the one part of the site where it is okay to be double posting, even triple-posting. While I ask for everybody to post as concisely as possible, post again if you have to edit anything.

Inappropriate posts:
If you want to post something insulting or inappropriate and know the TL mods would have a problem with it elsewhere, don't post it here. If you do, a host will warn you or modkill you and request that you be banned from future games. The hosts have the final say on what is inappropriate. If you do not like how someone is talking to you, please PM a host, Flamewheel, or Mig before involving the TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.

Reporting posts:
The report button is a nice feature for regular TL, but not for this forum. We prefer to deal with things in house if possible to avoid confusion among the TL staff. If you have a problem with how someone is posting, talk to the host, co-host, Flamewheel, or Mig before using your report button. Please do not use your report button for anything other than inappropriate posts which you feel are not being dealt with adequately.

Ban discussions:
Please wait until this game is over to talk about modkills and bans resulting from this game.

Play to win.
This means you play your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. 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 without a ban. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM your host if you need to leave the game.

You have been warned.

Out of thread communication:

It is common for mafia (and town circles if PMs are allowed) to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC to communicate during the game. Please be mindful that other players may be more tech savvy than you and they may attempt impersonate members of your team or attempt to infiltrate your chat. You use these media at your own risk.

Voting rules:

1. Voting is done in this (game) thread. Please keep votes there, and only vote there. Do not PM me your vote.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Quatol. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update vote counts whenever I get the chance.
3. No conditional voting.
4. You may not vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
5. This game uses a plurality lynch system (player with most votes in the end wins, if there is a tie all people included in said tie get's lynched).
6. Voting is mandatory. You may (NOT) abstain.

Signups:

This game is open to anyone (with preference for people that won't get banned. Signups will remain open until all slots are full.

Game-specific rules:

Modkills:
This game follows the TL Mafia Ban List. If you are modkilled, your punishment will (will not) go beyond being eliminated from this game. Please refer to it for questions about your punishment. If you want to use this game to sit out your ban, please PM Flamewheel or post in the Ban List.

Replacements
This game uses replacements. Replacements will be made in the game until the Night 3 post. If a player is modkilled during the designated time, then they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list.

Clues:
There are (no) clues.

PMs
PMs are (not) allowed in this game.

Time Cycle:
This game will follow a (24 hour night/48 hour) day cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 48 hour mark will not count and the game will be put on halt until the night post is up. Currently the deadline is 15:00 GMT[local], but that is subject to change. Actions/votes will be accepted up to and including the posted time, but not after.

Credits:
Thanks to anyone who has ever hosted a game. ThThanks to everyone who helped balance this game.
is list grows ever longer.

If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so. I will not compensate for ignorance!

ps: put a "I will not be banned in the first game Bluelightz is hosting" without the quotes at the end of your /in post or you won't be inns resulting from this game.

Yay! I've been checking literally twice a day for the past week and it's here! Thanks Bluelightz and Blazinghand for hosting.

I will not be banned in the first game Bluelightz is hosting

I really like the setup type, but I have some questions on specifics:

Can you vote for no lynch?
Are the mafia allowed to not kill?
Will the saver and/or savee be notified by PM of a successful doc save?
If you are roleblocked, will you be notified by PM even if you are Vanilla Townie?
The scum team consists of 1 roleblocker and 2 goons for a total of 3 scum?
The scum team designates one player to carry out the kill?
Can the scum roleblocker both carry out a kill and roleblock in the same night?
If scum roleblocker both roleblocks and carries out a kill, which action(s) will show up on tracker/watcher reports?

Thanks in advance for answering.

These rules seem to be somewhat contradictory. Rule 7 seems a bit too havoc-inducing to be believed. Which rule is for realz?

Before the start of the game, editing your posts is encouraged in place of double posting-- feel free to do so up until the game begins.

I'll let bluelightz handle the questions, since some of them change the way the setup works.

No voting for no lynches.
Mafia are allowed to hold their night kill.
No.
All roles are notified.
Yes.
Yes.
Tracker & Watcher show's role block action as they track role actions and not factional actions.

So let's hypothetically say that I am a mafia goon and on N1 I carry out the mafia night kill on Keirathi.

If the tracker was tracking sciberbia, will he see that sciberbia visited Keirathi?
If the watcher was watching Keirathi, will he see that sciberbia visited Keirathi?

It seems to me that a good town strategy would be to intentionally orchestrate a vote where several scummy suspects are all tied, in order to lynch multiple scummy players and increase town KP. Is this allowed? For example, lynching the 3 scummiest suspects on D1?

Also, if I understand correctly, it is physically impossible for town to ever No Lynch, even in a situation such as 4-person LYLO. Is this correct?

Tracker finds nothing. Watcher finds that Keirathi was visited by sciberbia.

yeah, no no lynches, and yes you can do that, but watch out when you utterly destroy 3 town players.

That picture looks really awesome and promising ^^ But I don't think I'll be able to make the time
