What is Mafia?
Mafia is a game which pits an uninformed majority (the town) versus an informed minority (the mafia/scum). At the beginning of the game, each player will be private messaged their alignment along with their role. The goal of the town is to remove the Mafia from the game, while the Mafia will win when they comprise 50% of the remaining players.
The catch is this: No Town member knows any other player's alignment besides their own. However, all Mafia know who their teammates are.
The game will proceed in Day and Night phases. During the Day phase, the thread will be open for discussion for living players only. Using whatever information is available, the town members will attempt to lynch someone who they believe is a member of the Mafia. They do this by typing vote: Player. The player with the most votes at the end of the Day phase (the deadline will be announced when that day starts) or reaches more than 50% of the vote at any time, will be lynched immediately and unable to post or influence the game in any way for the rest of its duration. Beware: the Mafia may also vote and attempt to sabotage the Town's efforts (ideally without giving themselves away, of course!)
During the Night, the thread will be closed. The night phase will be much shorter as only a few things occur. Primarily, the Mafia may talk among themselves, in private, and determine a candidate to assassinate overnight. One person will have the responsibility of submitting the team's choice to myself. Once the day starts, the chosen player will be found dead.
In addition, some special town roles can also act during the night. The Cop role may choose to investigate one player. Upon day start, that player's alignment will be revealed to them. The Doctor may also choose a player, and if that player is attacked by the Mafia, they will survive the attack as the Doctor will rush to their aid. These are just some examples, however. Once the game starts, I will be making all the different roles I used public, but I won't say who received what roles.
Some last rules: You may not discuss the current game situation outside of the thread, unless your role permits you to do so. For example, the Mafia may talk with their teammates at any time, but a normal Town member is confined to posting during the Day phases. Also, upon death, a person's role is revealed in full, along with any powers they had.
This is a game of bold-faced lying, deception and backstabbing. All personal relationships should be checked at the door!
One more thing: Everyone will get a unique Nintendo-themed role, but they may not get any powers, and the role will not be necessarily related to alignment.
