[center][size=6]An Introduction to Mafia[/size][/center] [sub]If you know what Mafia is/how it operates, feel free to skip this post! [/sub] [b]What is mafia?[/b] Mafia, or sometimes called “Werewolf”, is a [b]liars’ game[/b]. It is a conflict between an uninformed majority ([color=green]the town/innocents[/color]) and an informed minority ([color=red]the mafia[/color]). The game typically has two phases; [b]day[/b] and [b]night[/b]. During the ‘night’ several things occurs: no one posts in the discussion thread, the mafia anonymously murder an innocent, and town power roles’ abilities are used to help the town fight back against the mafia. When the ‘day’ comes, it’s the town’s job to identify the mafia and then eliminate them from the game. Everyone can talk, debate, and argue who's the most suspicious. Once the town has identified a suspect, everyone in the game - including the mafia - must reach a consensus and vote to eliminate the suspected player from the game. [b]How do they win?[/b] Mafia wins when they overpower the town. Town wins when the mafia have been removed from the game. [b]The history behind mafia?[/b] The game was created by Dmitry Davidoff to combine psychology research with his duties to teaching high school students and has its roots originating from the USSR in 1986.

[center][b][size=6]Rules[/size][/b][/center] Breaking these rules may result in [b]verbal warnings, force-replacements, mod-kills, and being denied entrance into future games depending on the nature of the infraction[/b]. [u][size=5]General[/size][/u] [list][*]Obviously, mod reigns supreme, etc, etc. [*]It is better that you ask me about a rule you don’t understand then accidentally breaking one and getting mod-killed as a result. [*]Play to win. [*]Play with respect. [*]If I've made a mistake, let me know. Role-related mistakes should be PMed; general mistakes can be addressed in thread (bold [u]and[/u] ping me when you need my attention). [*]Questions, comments, and considerations are welcome. [*]Taking out-of-game influences into the game isn’t cool. That means no bribes, bets (unless all parties are not in the game), or threats. [*][b]Pretending to break a rule is equivalent to breaking a rule.[/b] [*]Respect the [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=66]Flight Rising Forum Code of Conduct[/url][/list] [u][size=5]Posts and Post Content[/size][/u] [list][*][b]Quoting, copy-pasting, or screenshotting your role PM is grounds for an immediate mod-kill.[/b] [*]As a corollary: the flavor (italicized text) in your role PM, or any other private communications I send you, is for you and you alone. People found using flavor to determine someone’s alignment will be frowned at. [*]Don't use any encryption that you can't come up with your own brain. Bread crumbs are fine. [*]No provable randomization. [*]Please be courteous in your use of BBCode. [*][b]Do not edit or delete posts.[/b] Accidental edits are okay. If you do accidentally edit or delete, repost the original version unless the change was [i]very[/i] minor. Deleting a double post is fine. [*]RPing is discouraged, but sprinkling a post with a little bit of flavor is fine. [*][b]Be civil.[/b] It's okay to be aggressive, but personal attacks (ie, “You’re stupid!”) are not okay. (Note that this is distinct from “That’s stupid!”,which [i]is[/i] okay.) [*]Don't go out of your way to be obnoxious (for example, by spamming flashy gifs all over the thread). Tasteful spam is okay. [/list] [u][size=5]Private Communications[/size][/u] [list][*][b]Don't talk to people who are in this game [i]about[/i] this game, unless it’s in this thread.[/b] That means no PMs between players, unless I expressly tell you otherwise. [*]The mafia will have a private Quicktopic. Possession of a Quicktopic entitles you to private communication with any other members by any means you desire. [*]Feel free to talk privately to people not in the game (including me and all dead players), so long as you make it clear that the recipient [b]should not respond[/b]. However, be aware that this bars them from replacing in. [*]If you are dead, you are not to discuss this game with living players under any circumstances. [*]Dead players and spectators will share a Quicktopic Chat, but do not share this with any living players![/list] [u][size=5]Deadlines[/size][/u] [list][*]Day phases will be 20 hours long with a 4 hour lockdown period. The first Day phase will be 48 hours long with a 4 hour lockdown period. [indent][list][*]If 20% of the currently living players can reach a consensus to extend the day length by a total of another 24 hours, then the day will extend.[/indent] [*][b]Lockdown will always be at 17:00 FR time a.k.a 5:00 PM![/b] [*]The maximum amount of extensions to the day length is 2 times. [*]You may post during lockdown until you see [b]RESERVED[/b] posts. Once you see the reserved posts, [b]do not post until after I say so[/b]. Lockdown may be ended early if I get the EotD post done or have something to do later, but this will never affect the next day’s lockdown time. It will simply add more time to the day. [b]TL;DR, lockdown will ALWAYS be at the same time.[/b] [*]Once the Lockdown post is in the thread, no more actions/votes will be accepted and/or changed! [*]That being said… Be sure to be proactive and [b]submit your actions/votes in [u][i]before[/i][/u] Lockdown occurs![/b][/list] [u][size=5]Lynching[/size][/u] [list][*]In order for a lynch to occur, 20% of the living players (rounded up) must reach a general consensus and cast their individual vote to remove a suspect from the game. [*]For example, at the beginning of this game with 13 living players, 3 players must reach a consensus in order to lynch someone. [*]Players can vote for an extension in the game. Each ‘Day’ may be extended up to 2 times. [*]Players can choose [b]not to vote[/b]. [*]Players can vote for no lynch to occur, but an over half the currently living players must reach an agreement for this to happen. [*]For example, if players wish for no lynch to occur on the first day, then 8 players must vote for no lynch to occur. [*][b][i]Players may vote for no lynch to occur only [u]twice[/u] throughout the entire game.[/i][/b] [*]Votes and actions are locked in once Lockdown hits, but you may continue to post until I “lock” the thread with the RESERVED posts. [*]If there's a tie between two people, there is no lynch. [/list] [u][size=5]Activity[/size][/u] [list][*]A player is required to make at least one post per day to be considered “active”. [*]Failure to make one post per day for 2 24-hour days will result in a replacement. [*]Submitting in actions but not posting in the discussion thread is not encouraged and can result in either becoming lynched by the rest of the players. [*]Above all, please let me know you’re going to be inactive so I can replace you in a timely manner. Thank you![/list]

[b][size=5]Setup Info and Public Knowledge[/size][/b] [list][*]The game follows the [b][url=http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Friends_and_Enemies]Friends and Enemies[/url][/b] set-up. [*]In this particular game, there is [b]no "Night" phase[/b] where players submit their actions in. [*]Instead, they [b]must submit their actions in before Lockdown[/b] in order for them to take effect. [list][*]There will be a Town Advisor, a Mafia Advisor, and a Mason Advisor.
