Newbie Mini Mafia XXVI

+ Show Spoiler [Important Posts] +

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.
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.

Rules specific to this game are also shown in blue text in this thread.

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:
No smurfs please

Spam:
Please keep out of topic chatter out of the thread.

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.

I expect everyone to treat each other civilly. Attack the argument, not the player. Failure to do so will result in a warning, followed by a modkill if inappropriate posting continues

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.

Voting rules:

1. Voting is done here. Please keep votes here, and only vote here. Do not PM me your vote.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Kavdragon. 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 vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
5. In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first is lynched.
6. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.
7. Whomever has the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched!

Signups:

This game is open to Newbies Only. That means 3 games or less played on TL.

Game-specific rules:

Modkills:
This game follows the TL Mafia Ban List. If you are modkilled, your punishment will 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 will use replacements if possible. You are encouraged to find your own replacement.

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 21:00 EDT[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. This list grows ever longer.

If you have not read all the rules, go back and do so.

Roles and Setup information

This is a semi-open setup, that is, exact role counts will not be known, but the possible roles will be known. All roles presented here are not necessarily in the game, but no roles not included here are present.

Town Roles

Townie - You are just a normal citizen with no night actions. All you can do is vote during the day for someone to be lynched. Your wits and your votes will carry the town to glorious victory or shameful defeat.

Cop - You've been on the department for years. You're sharp and perceptive. Once at night you may choose a single person to investigate. At dawn you will find out if they are Town or Mafia. You win with the town.

Medic - As the town's doctor, your medical knowledge and healing skills give you the power to save lives. Once per night you can watch a player. If your target is attacked, you will block one hit aimed at them. If you make a successful save, both you and your target will be notified of the save. You cannot save yourself. You win with the town.

Veteran - You're as tough as they come. You've been around the block a few times and know how to escape an attack on your life. It takes two attacks to kill you. You win with the town.

Jailkeeper - Equipped with chloroform and rope, you steal into the night to kidnap a random person and lock them in your basement “for safety”. Once per night, you may target a player to protect and roleblock. You win with the town.

Vigilante - You hate criminals, you hate them SO much. You dispise the system, and have taken justice into your own hands. Once per game, at night, you may target one player to shoot with one kp. You win with the town.

Miller - You are just an ordinary citizen of the town of Liquidia. Well, almost ordinary. Unbeknownst to you, you sleepwalk and often end up visiting the graveyard and other suspicious locations. For that reason, you return Mafia to detectives who choose to check you. Millers are not informed that they are millers; rather, they are given regular vanilla townie PMs. The Miller will be revealed as a Miller upon his/her death. The Miller is on the side of the Townies and wins if they win.

Town Win Condition - The town wins when there are no mafia left in the game

Mafia Roles

Mafia Goon - You're a new recruit in the mafia organization. You haven't learned any special tricks yet but you're hungry for money and power! You win with the mafia.

Mafia Roleblocker - You're a senior member of the mafia. You're good with distractions. Once per night you may choose a person to cause a distraction for. That player will be occupied and unable to perform an action that night. You win with the mafia.

Mafia Framer - You're one of the mafia elites. Years with the mafia have taught you a thing or two about manipulation. Once per night you may choose a person to visit and plant suspicious items in their house. For that night, that person will show as mafia for cops. You win with the mafia.

Mafia Rolecop - You're one of the mafia elites. A former cop, your skills made you a valuable asset to the mafia. Once per night you can investigate a persons house. At dawn you will know the persons role. You win with the mafia.

Mafia Godfather - You're the head of the mafia. You've been the leader for as long as anyone can remember. All those years have taught you one thing. You can never be to carefull. You will show as Town to cops. You win with the mafia.

Mafia Win condition - The mafia wins when they equal or outnumber the remaining townies.

/in - Hi, I normally come to team liquid to read the SC2 news stories - but a few weeks ago I randomly clicked the mafia forum and got hooked following the threads of other games.

Guess it is about time I tested the waters myself.

What? Is it just me or for the past like 5-6 newbie minis there's always someone whose name is the same as an existing mafia player except for a few letters?

What's next? Mrs. Wiggl3s? Lazyhand? Uncognito?

I'm certainly not Drazerk's smurf, someone already made a comment about this in the IRL Mafia in Raleigh thread, I don't think Drazerk is an LP contributor. You can check me out on irc.freenode.net, I've had the nick for ~ 7 years. I've met tofucake and DivinO and iGrok IRL. Not sure what else I can do to prove that I'm not a smurf of drazerk other than that.

Is the cop not guaranteed sane in this setup? Might be a little too much for a newbie mafia game.

Oh I wasn't saying you're a smurf. Its just funny since Dr wiggl3s and mrwiggles are also not the same person. I see that silver coin

Ahh sorry, I just think it's funny because iGrok kept calling me drazerk and nobody but tofucake and I got the joke at Raleigh. I guess maybe GMarshal got it but I don't think he was there when iGrok modded us.

What's funny is there's another user running around here somewhere (but not on TL Mafia, he's a blogs dude) who is named like Firehand or something. I should convince him to sign up for this game.
