You guys are in a jungle that has werewolves and mafia members out to kill you. Lynch them.
Welcome to your first (or second! Or third!) game of Mafia at Smash World Forums! Mafia is a fairly easy-to-learn game of strategy, debate, and deception that I’m sure you will all find fun and engaging. Mafia can get pretty complicated pretty quickly, but some of the most fun games use only the basics – lucky for you, as the most basic games are also the best way to learn and the easiest way to jump into a new hobby. If you end up liking the game, you will be completely prepared to join one of the other regularly hosted games in Decisive Games, as well as make connections and good friends with the slew of regular players we have. (which includes a large amount of debaters, writers, broomers, and moderators... as well as totally awesome dGamers!)
The game is divided into Day phases and Night phases. Starting with Day 1, the whole group will play, talk, debate, argue, accuse, defend, and diplomatically vote who they think is mafia or werewolf. When a majority vote has been reached, that player will be lynched (killed off, eliminated) and you will find out if they were town, mafia, or werewolf. Then it becomes Night 1, and the townies to go “sleep” while the werewolves get together and choose someone to kill! Day 2 begins, you discover whom the mafia has killed at night, you regroup, and you hunt for the scum again!
Please read the rules, and if you need more help or are curious for more knowledge, click on the Optional Reading links. If have any questions, they are probably answered in the rules or the Optional Reading, but feel free to ask the game moderator (Marshy) anything you do not understand.
Optional Reading:
Newbie Guide: Introduction for new players.
Basic Rules: Reading these rules, along with the game's specific rules, will help you understand the game.
Common Roles: Includes a description of the roles both commonly and uncommonly found in Mafia.
Smashboards Mafia Archives: This archive includes examples of past Mafia games in Decisive Games.
Fundamentals:
1. Unless your role states otherwise, no communication about the game is allowed outside of this thread. That includes communication with living players, dead players, and non-players.
2. No faking a quoted mod PM (including pictures). Not even partial quoting.
3. Editing your posts is not allowed. If you make a spelling or grammar mistake, clarify what you mean in a second post.
Voting and Lynching:
4. All votes must be bolded (Vote: Virgilijus).
5. When changing your vote, you must unvote your previous vote before you revote. Your unvote must also be bolded (Unvote, Vote: Scumfever).
6. A lynch will occur when a majority has been reached. Day will end with a lynch.
7. You may vote for a 'no lynch' if desired. If a majority of the players in the game vote for to no lynch, the game will progress to night without a lynch. If the deadline comes and the 'no lynch' option does not have the majority vote but still has the most votes of any option, then there will be a no lynch.
8. If the deadline hits and a majority has not been found, no one will be lynched and night will begin.
9. If a lynch occurs, then the game enters Twilight, where all living players apart from the player who has been lynched are allowed to freely converse (but not allowed to cast any votes) until I post a death scene.
10. Once you are dead (flavor has been posted), you are allowed to make one final "bah go town/scum!" post, but nothing of substance.
Activity and Deadline:
11. I'm willing to extend deadlines in the event of extenuating circumstances. This is purposely left vague.
12. Treat this game as a commitment. You are requested to post at least once every 72 hours. Failure to do so will result in prodding. An accumulation of too many prods (however much I think that is) will result in your replacement or a modkill depending on the circumstances.
13. If you are unable to participate for a period longer than 72 hours, please PM me or post in thread.
