It's a week before Halloween, and something spooky is going on in Arancio, Sicily. Not that this is exactly a surprise, as the citizens of Arancio get into Halloween. People go around in costumes (popular are Mafia, Cop, Doctor, and Townie) for Days in advance, and there are always lots of practical jokes played during the Night.
Except currently there's this odd rumour going around that the actual Sicilian Mafia (this sector is controlled by the Caruzi Family) wants to play a bit of an...impractical joke, namely killing everyone else. So they can have all the Halloween candy or something (yes, this is the stereotypical, consumer-oriented, stupid Halloween of America.)
After a bit of stereotypical trick-or-treating and costume making, the 25 citizens of Arancio go to bed, not all quite believing that the Caruzi Mafia would really dare do such a thing. After all, you can't play practical jokes on corpses, and the Mafia loves practical jokes.

RULES FOR NORMAL MAFIA 6
• Lynching during the Day will require a simple majority of votes from players. As soon as a majority is reached, the individual with the majority is considered lynched, and will be lynched on my return. As soon as a majority is reached, it is considered to be twilight. No relevant information may be posted during twilight. It is Night as soon as I declare it to be Night. There is no talking in the thread during the Night.
• There is no talking outside the thread at Night or otherwise except for groups to which I have explicitly given this right.
• Vote: no lynch will be registered as a vote for no lynch. If a simple majority of the players vote for no lynch, there will be no lynch and the Day will end.
• No quoting emails or other means of communication from the Moderator.

As it's near Halloween, there are a few little tricks (and treats) built into the Normal scenario. None are large enough to make this a theme game, but they're there. I'll let you know if and when they come up, unless part of the trick is the majority of the Town not knowing about it.

IT IS FINALLY OVER. TOWN WINS.
All I've done suspicious, apparently, is wonder why the pickpocket doesn't look guilty to anyone else. To me, it seems like the pickpocket would not be working on the side of the town, it seems like he'd be reporting back to the mafia. Have you ever heard of a pickpocket going into a police station and giving them information?? All I've read suggests that pickpockets go back to report to organized crime figures. [sarcasm] Apologies for using logic at a time like this, it's all I had to work with at the moment. [/sarcasm]
