Welcome to Newbie 1726! The Mafia has infiltrated your town and killed the mayor!
It's up to you to discover the identities of the bad guys and bring peace back to your home!
Do not quote your role PM or any other PM/QT communication from the mod.
Do not contact any player in or outside of the game about the game.
Do not use encrypted or hard-to-see text (including "invisible" text, text below the 50% text size option, or text hidden via BBCode (not including spoilered text)).
Do not edit or delete posts in this thread. If you made a formatting mistake, I will fix it for you (if it doesn't change the content of the post).
Activity
If a player doesn't post in-game after a period of 48 hours, other players may request a prod of that player.
If a player doesn't post in-game after a period of 72 hours and another player hasn't made a request, I will prod that player.
If a player is prodded, that player has 24 hours to make an in-game post before a replacement will be found.
If a player receives multiple prods and/or prod-dodges excessively, that player will be subject to a force-replace.
If you are going to be absent for a specific period of time, please let me know ahead of time!
Votes and Lynching
Votes must be in the format of VOTE: Player Name or
VOTE: Player Name
. Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as it is obvious to me who is being voted for. If I perceive it as a vote, it will count as a vote.
Unvotes are not necessary to change a vote.
A player will be lynched if a majority of the players have voted for that player.
You may vote for a
No Lynch
. If a majority of players vote for a No Lynch, the game will proceed to Night without a lynch.
All living players, including the lynchee, may continue to post until I lock the thread.
Once I have posted your death scene, you may not post ("bah" posts are not allowed).
Behavior
Harassment of an individual player is NOT permitted. While this is a competitive game, no personal attacks will be tolerated.
Always play to your win condition.
Do not discuss this game anywhere else with anyone else unless your role allows you to.
This game is using the standard Newbie Game setup, Matrix6. One row or one column will be randomly chosen from the table below and the remaining six roles will be filled in by Mafia Goons and Vanilla Townies as appropriate to create a total of 2 Mafia-aligned players and 7 Town-aligned players.

C
1
Town Jailkeeper
Vanilla Townie

2
Mafia Roleblocker
Town Cop
Town Doctor
3
Town 1-Shot Bulletproof

Town Tracker
Please note:
The Mafia must specify who is performing what Night action when the actions are submitted.
In applicable situations, a Roleblocker's action will resolve before a Jailkeeper's action.
In applicable situations, a Mafia Roleblocker has the option of submitting both roleblocks and kills, even when the Mafia Goon is still alive.

I asked Delta because he's a new player to the website, like myself. Jaack's SE status is pretty self-evident -- he has experience on the website already. Just trying to get some discussion going among the newer players. Curious to see if they have played on other websites/in real life.
While we're on the topic, what's your experience with mafia?

Some offsite in various locations and one other newbie game here on MS that I replaced out of for health reasons!
Let's extend the question to alexs, ecane, and Gratuitous, too - this game is really quiet and tame so far. Get in here, guys!

I'll chime in as well. This is my second game of forum-based mafia. I have played once in real life too. Last game I was little quiet, so it's my goal to be a bit more interactive this game.
To catch scum, the scum has to participate in the conversation first.
Also, I remember reading games where lurking is a scum tactic, so it'd be interesting to see who actually pokes their head out and who doesn't.
It's not perfect, but ehhh... we're on page 1. Can't exactly do much :')
