Of course, this would all be a lot easier if you weren't so sure that some of you haddunit. Two of you, in fact, though you're not sure who else is what. Here's the possibilities:
, along with your partner _________ (who is simply a Goon). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.
You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill/roleblock (your team can do both so long as you live).
Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.
, along with your partner _________ (who is a pro-Mafia Roleblocker). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.
You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill (if your partner also lives, they can send in a separate choice to roleblock someone).
Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.
, along with your partner _________. Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only you remain; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched (if that someone is not your partner or yourself, that will make things much easier). You may talk with your partner when it is not Day, and send me a choice via PM of who you wish to kill.
Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no kills will happen until Night One.
, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.
Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person you protect will never die on the night they are protected), unless you are roleblocked. You may not protect yourself.
, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.
Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues), unless you are roleblocked. You cannot investigate yourself.
, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.
Even though many games start with Night, Newbie Games begin with Day once everyone has confirmed that they understand their role. Scum are allowed to talk by PM in the pre-game stage, but no other "night actions" may be taken.
Rules:
Votes must be in bold for them to count, like this:
Vote: mith
. Unvotes should also be bolded (
Unvote: JEEP
) so that I can spot them easier, but unvoting is not required.
Please note: If I think something is a vote, it's a vote, even if you don't mean it as one.
A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life.
Deadlines are set for three weeks from the start of the day, and if deadline is reached without the required number of votes to lynch, no lynch will occur.
Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline.
Dead men tell no tales. If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over.
Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless your role PM specifically stated you could do so (as scum, and then only at night).
Do not directly quote any PMs you receive; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
If you see something you don't understand,
ASK!
Newbie games are here for people to learn and understand; either I or one of the other players will respond to your question. If it has to do with your role, feel free to PM me directly.
Treat this game as a commitment; if you're going to be gone for longer than 48 hours (not counting weekends),
let us know
. I will prod players who do not post for 5 days and will replace severely inactive players, but your fellow players may choose to lynch you themselves first.

Hi people. Let me quote you something I posted yesterday in another newbie that's just started.
Korts wrote:Hi, I'm Korts the IC.
Here, read this and this, two articles written by my favorite mafia theorist; and read the posts in reply, too. For further reading, I advise all newbies to go through links in this thread; if you still want to know more, feel free to browse the wiki and the Mafia Discussion forum (often shortened to MD). Just note that all this is opinion, mostly. There are few universally accepted plays, and you have to think for yourself if you want to manage--this reading material is just guidance.

[no] replaces ksun482, who never picked up his role PM.

And away we go. I'd vote, but my role doesn't allow me to do so.
...okay. maybe it doesn't.
Equinox, I'm glad to get a chance to play with you. Do you think you're able to bring some insight into this game and what do you think your strengths will be? Do you think that having ICs and SEs playing are, on balance, better for town or worse for town? That is, do you think experience would help people play this game more as mafia or town and why is that?
