While this is the second game of Mafia here, I'm treating it as the first proper game because the first game was more of a learning experience, to test the water shall we say. The rules remain the same, as will be posted below, but unless he can provide me with some good reasoning, Quakmybush will be banned from participating due to signing up his puppet Toranat as well, which completely defeats the point of the game.

Many of you may know of Mafia - not the Italian crime syndicate, but the popular party game. For those of you who don't, the rules of the game are simple, and are explained below.

Basically, Mafia is a game of strategy. The players are all members of a small town that has had the misfortune to be infilitrated by the Mafia, and while the Mafia members will know who's who, the Townies will only be certain of who they individually are.

For the Townies to win, they must kill off all threats to the town; for the Mafia to win, however, they must reduce the numbers of the Townies to a level where the numbers of the Mafia and the Townies are equal, as then they can rise up publicly and kill off the remaining Townies

Mechanics:

The game is split into two sections - Day and Night. This is game time, not real world time. Each player will receive their roles through a PM, and the number of Mafioso depends on the amount of people who sign up.

The game will begin at Night, when the Mafia make the decision on who to whack. Once I have received confirmation from the Mafia Boss, this person will die, and the game will move to the Day. Note that people who have abilities as part of their role can use them on this first Night.

In the Day, the Townies and the Mafia discuss the killing, any clues, any suspicions they have on other players and such and such. The Townies will be trying to lynch the Mafia, while the Mafia will be trying to confuse the Townies into lynching other Townies. Each player gets one vote, and the Day will end either a) 24 hours after my original post stating the Day has begun, or b) when one player receives a majority of the votes for his or her lynching. Votes should be posted in the format: Vote: Player Name. Whether you wish to include reasoning and such is down to you.

If there's anything here that you'd like clarified or any questions, ask away. If not, sign up!

how fast is this going to be? I missed the last round completely and am very sorry about that, but if the next round doesn't require me to be online more than once or twice a day (and doesn't begin before monday, I'm away until then), I'd like to play again.

I want this one to get around ten people, so it probably won't start until Monday at this rate. Since the first one did go fat, I'll try to slow this down; have a 24-hour period for the Day, then one for the next Night and so on, so forth. These are subject to exceptions, of course, like if we get a majority decision in the Day it'll end there, or if I get everyone's night stuff quickly.
