The last time MFGG did one of these was back in 2016. That's too long ago, I say! (Note: this is modified from the sign up thread of the previous season, originally written by Kirby's Adventure. Some important details have been modified, so please give it a read.)
1) What's this?
Mafia is a parlor game where the citizens of the town try to unmask the mafiosos that walk among them. The townspeople vote to execute a member during the day, and the mafia votes by PM to decide that night's murder victim.
This is a game of teamwork, as well as distrust. Nobody can be sure of anybody else's role, and it's not very smart to reveal your own, but both sides must work together to eliminate the opposing team.
2) Rules
2a) Day
The game begins on a day phase. Each day phase lasts 48 hours.
During the day, all members discuss in the main game topic. The citizens have the goal of finding a member of the mafia, and the mafia must try to blend in and appear to be pro-town, in order to avoid getting executed.
Everyone must vote on a player to be executed (killed by the town). This is done by making a post with the following format: "I vote [username]." You are allowed to vote "no one", but you are REQUIRED to post "I vote no one." If you do not post by the end of the day phase, your vote is not counted at all. All votes must be equal or greater to 50% of the votes for a player to be executed. Any other outcome results in no execution.
In case of two players both getting 50% of the votes, the player who reached 50% first will be eliminated. In case of a 50/50 between a player and "no one", the player will be eliminated.
2b) Night
Each night phase lasts 24 hours. (or should it be 48?)
During the night phase, the citizens should be asleep, so posting in this topic is not allowed.
Each mafia member will send me a PM deciding who they vote, in the "I vote [username]" format. If 50% of the voting mafia (or more) send me the same username, they will be murdered, unless the murder had been stopped by a role that can save people.
Roles that have night actions will also PM me, stating their intent.
At the end of the night phase, before the next day phase, I will announce any deaths that occurred during the night, send PMs to players who performed their actions and inform them of the results.
2c) Win Conditions
The townsfolk win by eliminating the mafia.
The mafia wins by outnumbering the townsfolk.
Once either of these things happen, the game is over, and the winning team is declared the victor.
There may or may not be other players that have their own unique win condition.
2d) Roles
Roles are assigned at random.
Special roles that have powers outside the rules listed above will be assigned and explained in detail in the main game topic. You could be a cop, doctor, or some other special role.
Some roles' existence might not be made publicly known.
At the beginning of the game, I will send out PMs describing your role, abilities, and any items you might start with.
3) Other Important Things
You must be willing to commit until the end, and play seriously, even if you end up with a regular townie role. If you make no posts or PMs to me regarding the game within 6 real-time days (2 day-night cycles) I will have to kick you out.
The minimum amount of players I'm hoping for is 9. However, I'm hoping we can get more than that. There is no hard maximum number of players. If there are only a few players, I will probably make some changes to accommodate a small pool of players.
If you need clarification on anything, feel free to PM me.
Everyone is allowed to lie about their role and frame other players, etc. However, keep in mind that the mafia know each-other's identities, and it's impossible to lie to me.
While PMs for private conversation are allowed, it is strongly encouraged to post in the public topic when relevant. This way, people who aren't playing can still spectate the game.
Don't be discouraged if this is your first time playing. This is my first time doing anything mafia-related online, so you aren't alone!
If you want to play say so in this thread. Please make it unambiguously clear.
Signups are open until February 15. I will then determine the roles, and send out PMs. The game should start within a few days.
