Rules: (Copied from CSD, slightly modified)

NOTE TO ANYBODY NOT INVOLVED IN THE GAME:
As you are not playing in this game, do NOT post in Interguild Mafia Forum (it is made public so that you can follow along with the action). Do not post about the game around the site (and especially don't post about any suspicions you may have) and do not PM people about the game who currently involved in it.


General Structure Of The Game

At the start of the game, the players are randomly assigned to be members of either the "town" or the "mafia". If you are a member of the town, you win when all the members of the mafia are eliminated. If you are a member of the mafia, you win when the mafia comprises the majority of the remaining players. There are always significantly less members of the mafia then there are members of the town, but the mafia have the advantage of knowing who the other members of the mafia are, and being allowed to talk to one another outside of the game's main threads. There may be players that are neither town nor mafia, and if you are one of them, your win conditions will be explained in the role PM I send you. Once all the roles have been assigned, the game then proceeds into a series of alternating day and night phrases, until somebody's win condition is met.

During the day, all the players are expected to post in the designated thread, where they will discuss the ongoings of the game, and argue about who is mafia and who isn't. Be sure to be very careful about the things you say. You wouldn't want to say something that makes the rest of the town suspicious of you. You will also not want to reveal your role, at least in the early going, since if the mafia know what the town's roles are, then they have a much easier figuring out which of them it would be most beneficial to kill.

All players get one vote (which they can change throughout the day phase, as their opinions changes as well), and they use that vote to vote for who they want to see eliminated from the game (aka: lynched). The town is trying to lynch members of the mafia, while the mafia is trying to mislead the town into lynching a member of the town instead (though having nobody be lynched at all often works to the mafia's advantage). Once a majority of the remaining player's votes are for a single player (for example, if there are 8 people alive, then 5 of them would have to vote for the single player for them to be lynched), then that player is lynched and removed from the game. When a player is lynched, that player's role and alignment are revealed. Congratulations to the town, if the person they lynched turned out to be working for the mafia, but if they were in fact a member of the town, then all is not lost -- vital information is gained by analyzing the events of the previous day, and perhaps you will be able to find a mafioso responsible for the mislynch. Once a player is lynched, the day ends and we move into the night phase. There will be a time limit placed on the day phase, and if a lynch is not reached by then, the day will end without a lynch.

Notes About the Day Phase:
- When you wish to vote for a player, at the bottom of your post, write VOTE: (player name). It is important that you bold your votes (use the appropriate bbCode) so that, when I go to do a vote count, I don't miss any.
- If you wish to change your vote from one player to another or to just remove your vote from the player you voted for, first write UNVOTE: (player name). Please bold all unvotes as well.
- As who has voted for who can get confusing, I will attempt to periodically keep you updated on the current vote counts. If you feel a vote count would be helpful, feel free to post in the thread that you would like one.
- Stay active. You will be expected to post a few times in every "day". If possible, I will replace people who I feel aren't active enough.
- Do not talk about the game outside of the thread, AT ALL. Don't talk about it in some other thread, don't talk about it in the chatbox, and most importantly of all, don't talk about it in private messages to one another. Only the mafia may talk about the game outside of the main thread, and even then, they must ONLY use the secret mafia board, and they may only use it during the night.
- If you have some question about the game, please send me or Jazz a private message about it. Note that I only have limited space in my inbox, so please only send me one PM at a time.
- DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. Everything that is said is meant to be part of the public record. If you have something else to say or even if you just made a mistake in typing your previous post, then, just this once, double-posting is both allowed and preferred.
- DO NOT QUOTE MY PM's. Everything that I say to you in a PM is intended for your eyes only. Don't even pretend to quote me, using something that I didn't actually write.

Once the day ends, the night phase begins. Nobody may post in the main thread during the night. If you have a special action that you can perform, send me a PM stating whether or not you wish to use it. Whether or not you have an action to perform will be detailed in the role PM I send you. It is during the night phase that the mafia will choose one member of the town to kill. If everything goes according to plan, there will be one less member of the town alive once the next day phase starts. The role and alignment of the player who was killed will be revealed at the start of the next day. There is also a time limit on the night phase, so if you have an action to perform, make sure you send it in before the deadline.

Notes About the Night Phase:
- PM me any night actions you may have before the deadline. Any actions received after the deadline will be ignored. If you wish to abstain, send a PM saying so.
- Do not post in the thread during the night phase. Unless you are mafia and posting in the secret mafia board, you may not talk about the game at all during the night.
- If you arrive in the "morning" to find out that you have died, you may NOT post in the thread. If you have died, you are out of the game, but, even though you are dead, you will still win if the people you were aligned with end up winning the game. If you were mafia, and you die, you may not post in the secret mafia board anymore, as well. I will arrange for a secret "graveyard" board, where people who have died can talk about the game without having to worry about giving anything away. If you have access to any secret forums, it is of the utmost importance that you DO NOT karma rate ANYTHING. Anything you rate will become visible to anyone in the "recent karma rates" panel.

New:
The Mafia may no longer talk during the day.

Let's not make the same mistake again.

Vote: Silver

yay! here we go!

*oh come on* who karma'd this post? YOU CANNOT KARMA MAFIA POSTS!!! it's like voting/fosing anonymously. please remove the vote - I do not wanna delete it myself.

oh and also, Shavey, you still haven't defended yourself!..or something.

Vote: Shavey Dave

Shos? Care to explain?

Silver, I'm afraid this time the ods are against you. Considering past games you are the most likely to flip mafia today so,
Let's not make the same mistake as we did in games 1-3.
Vote: Silver

unvote: Shavey
vote: yuggy

Yuggy, you are 13 years old and already should know that the fact Silver was mafia in the last few games does not have anything to do with the chance she is now too. However, you voted Silver too, so it looks like you're just trying to kill anyone! whoever that may be, as long as it's not one of the mafia! the vote on shavey was a random vote, in case you didn't get it..

Vote: Silver

For always being mafia.

It looked like you where accusing him from last game or something. In case you haven't noticed 2 other people have voted Silver and Jell even did it before me. If I didn't want to vote Silver, I would be voting you right now...
Other people seem to agree we need to get rid of Silver, so you as her possible mafia partner are trying to save her.

New:
The Mafia may no longer talk during the day.

question: does this mean that they cannot talk here or that they do not have their own mafia board?

They have a board but talking is only permitted at night. Just like what MS does!

well the or something was supposed to get the message that it's fake...I guess it didn't..

anyways, 2 other people are one before you and one after. before it's just a random vote - and your vote adds to it, as in trying to kill whoever is not with you, like I said before.. but now thomas voted silver too, so... it's either that one of you (or both) are mafia, and you're jumping on the bandwagon to kill anyone not with you, or...something else which you have to fill in. so far, the fact that thomas made the vote count L-2 knowingly, makes him more suspicious. moreover, he declared he was going to use an aggressive playing style, and so far his posts are weak. so thomas to the guiliotine instead of you, so far.

FoS: Yuggy
Unvote: Yuggy
Vote: Thomas

and thomas, explain your last post? how the hell is microsoft related to mafia? oh and also, defend yourself

MS == mafiascum

I can't really defend myself against those accusations you are spraying around. It's RVS.

uh, just one thing here, I just read the chatbox:
Sunday, 12:20pm - Isa Still, a lot of mods start after 7/9 people are confirmed >_>
Sunday, 12:20pm - Isa He didn't? Crap. I thought I counted to 9
Sunday, 12:18pm - Curvy Hey Kooler didn't confirm his mafia role but Isa locked the topic.

Isa,
Jazz is not a player on this game. I counted him too, btw, and apparantly silver too(she said that's all 9 of us). so it's only kooler missing.

ohhhh mafiascum, lol. you seriously have to stop thinking we're all there, I really don't know all the shortcuts and stuff. I thought it's like MS paint..

I think I have said MS before in the last game. Here's a list of abbreviations: http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Commonly_used_abbreviations

arg, I always tab-enter quickly so I always forget something...*triple posts*

about the 'defense', I don't think RVS goes that way, it's random voting stage, not everybody votes someone and lynch him before he has a chance to take a breath on the first day... dunno... it's not that I have such an amazing case against you and yuggy, but still, I won't hammer the lynch on Silver just for RVS so quickly. or, in this case, put her in L-1. when you think about it, being in L-1 is dangerous..

Shos: Jazz is the real mod for this game. He asked me to start the game and send out the roles, but he is the mod.

8/9 confirmed when the game has started is perfectly fine.

If Silver gets lynched during RVS, we know we should lynch the 5th person to vote and keep a close eye on #3 and #4.

Ah jell, you're scum. You made it sound like you KNOW Silver will flip town.

I don't see a Townie lynching anyone during the RVS. That is an obvious scum move, trying to get Townies killed as soon as possible.
But I don't know how serious I should take you right now. You accusing me Day 1 is becoming as cliche as Silver flipping Mafia.

You did not get my point.

You said if Silver is lynched then voter #5 is probably scum but you never said Silver could be scum so you are scum.

I just don't see why a Townie would give the lynching vote during RVS. And there is almost no reason for a Mafia member to lynch his/her fellow Mafia member, so if a person gets lynched during this stage I don't see how he/she could be Mafia.

WIFOM.

lol, this made me laugh seriously XDand thomas, for the gazillionth time, some of us are not as experienced with stuff of the mafia game. so yes, I know what WIFOM stands for, but can you elaborate on your thought here, explain to me what WIFOM means, specifically in this game?

for example, suppose kooler is mafia and he's not responding, and there's a mafiascum term 'coolering' which means being outside of the game to make yourself unsuspicious(sp?). so you should post, 'I think kooler is COOLERING because he is not responding and tries to make us oversee him, and not vote for him'. you get my point?

oh and, I agree with this; but this should be reconsidered if we get to a point where it's either that or a no-lynch. fromthe past game I learnt that nolynch is bad for the town, so if a townie nails the lynch 10 hours before day ends, I would not accuse him immidiately.
