In a game of mafia, the 2 basic roles are Townie and Mafioso. In this game, the town will be made up of those trying to figure out who killed everyone and stop them from killing again. For the town to win, they must kill all members of the mafia. Most townies have only one tool: the lynch.
-While the game is in "Day" mode, any player may post in the thread. They may also FOS or Vote.
-FOS stands for Finger of Suspision. It has no direct bearing on the game, but it is a nice way to let everyone know who you are suspicious of.
-When any one player has reached a number of votes equal to the majority of the players in the game, that player will be lynched and the game will go into night.
-You may only be voting for 1 player at a time. If you want to change your vote, you must type Unvote before doing so.
-Votes, Unvotes, and FOSes should be bolded. (ex. VOTE: Puzzle or FOS: CropCircles)
There are 2 roles that are very common in mafia games that will be used in this game as well. The Cop and the Doctor, which are both town roles.
-During the night, the Cop may send me the name of 1 player he would like to investigate. I will then reveal to the Cop whether that player is a mafioso or a townie.
-The Doc sends me the name of a player that he would like to protect. That player will be immune to nightkills for that night. (Note: The doc may not protect himself)
The mafia, or those who killed everyone, will win when they exceed or equal the town in number(at which point, they control the lynch). They may also post during the day and use both Votes and FOSes. However, they have another tool: the ability to nightkill.
-While the game is in night, the mafia may communicate with each other.
-Then, one of them will send me the name of 1 player to be killed.
-Once I have received the mafia's Night Choice, as well as the choice of any other player with a Night Ability, I will post a morning scene, and Day will start.
There may or may not be other roles in this game. For reference, here are a few other possible roles:
-Vigilante: The Vigilante is a killer on the Town side who can either choose to kill every night, or choose to kill a certain number of times during the game, depending on the variation.
-Back-up Doc: Assumes the Doctor's abilities after the Doctor dies.
-Back-up Cop: Assumes the Cop's abilities after the Cop dies.
-Role blocker: Chooses one player per night to block from performing his or her Night Choice.
-Mason: The Masons are a group on the Town's side who know each other to be townies and can talk to each other at Night.
The Newbie Rules of Mafia
1. Votes: Bold your votes and unvotes. They should look like this VOTE: SorryGuy. Unvote before casting a new vote, by typing Unvote, also in bold. Any votes or unvotes not in bold will not be counted. You may vote No Lynch, and a majority of these votes will end the day without a death.
2. Do not quote my PM's. Breaking this rule results in an instant modkill.
3. Do not speak about this game outside this thread unless it is night and your role intends you to do so.
4. Please do not edit or delete your posts no matter how stupid a mistake you made.
5. Once you’re dead, you’re dead, so stop posting. You may have one 'goodbye post', but if it contains any strategy or information, your side instantly loses.
6. If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made.
7. Executions will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded.
8. If you are requesting a mod prod or vote count, bold your request so that I can see it more clearly.
9. I want this game to keep moving so I expect everyone to post at least once every two days and if you don't you will receive a prod on the third day. If you still haven't posted I will take further action. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread or PM me.
10. Remember this is a game. Games are about having fun. Do your best to do so.
11. Lastly and most importantly. Respect me and the rest of the players. I'd rather not have to modkill any players. That's no fun for any of us.

So are we going to random vote, or does anyone have a cunning plan? Also, any ideas for the roles in this game? I assume R_E is in the game, but I'm not familiar with the forums here, so if anyone could list other famous posters, that could be nice.
hey that is completely unfounded... im pretty sure i stated my reason quite clearly:

It seems sort of silly to ridicule a company for marketing efforts. Of course they are going to hype upcoming products, every company on the face of the planet does it, and it works, thats why they do it. There isn't really any sense complaining about it. If you don't like the marketing, ignore it.
essentially puzzle had a 'cunning plan' that involved evry1 claiming 3rd letter of their role, while one of the mafia's role included him having a list of all the role titles (not what they did, but what they were called, ie diviner, tracker etc) which essentially allowed the mafia to figure out all the power roles on day1

How is it "random" if you actually have a reasoning to your vote?
... shut up im tired lol, i couldnt think of another way to specify that it wasnt a real vote leave me alone
The relation to Puzzle in Shaman Mafia was a joke, in case nobody got it. Although I'm not joking about a list of famous posters. I really have only 12 posts to my name, and I just need to know what type of people are on the forums. R_E is litterally the only forum poster I know, since I used to lurk at the rumor mill.
By the way, while lurking in French mafia I noticed there was a big thing Day 1 about whether a guy was joking about a claim or not. To avoid that, I propose a Hunted Plan: When you are joking, tag it, like so:
<joke>some comment that could seem really scummy</joke>
1) I was joking about the "cunning plan" reference
2) I really do want to know famous forum posters. By the way, I doubt this would help the mafia seeing as it is something that is public knowledge, not like a role name. Think of it like video game characters were in 8-bit.
3) I gave a suggestion for how people should say they were joking when they posted, to avoid confusion. Looking at the idea, I think it is kind of lame, even if it would help.
Still, I guess a vote for a person who confused you is at least better than a random vote.
I think we should tell the names of the members we represent. On faith:Azrael.
<joke>I think that Hunted Charlie is guilty(this is a vote)!He tried to confuse us.</joke>
Like that?

definately DO NOT CLAIM. That helps the mafia, and solely the mafia, at least this early in the game. I don't know how many games that you have played, but claiming is one of th worst possible strategies this early. It is very unlikely that we, as the town, will be able to figure out all of the Mafia's role, whereas the mafia will be able to figure out and kill all of the power roles. Even claiming names is dangerous, because that might lead to figuring out power roles and such.
Hunted, the joke thing is okay, but I don't think it would help to make that list. We have no idea if we will choose any of the same people that Sorryguy did, so he list won't help
I assume there are some forum members that are supposedly "good" by nature such as Rancored_Elf, Hannes, Hydrokinesis, or whatever other moderators I assume. Those would likely admit their roles.
Then again, if you were Annorax or olliejr, would you admit your role?
Yeah, don't claim. It just helps the mafia find who to kill. Although I have to admit that I find it interesting that Azrael is in this game. I don't really know much about him, but I thought that he was only a very big poster in the Mafia forums. (Admittedly, that is most of what I have read so far.)
By the way, I make Saproling tokens, of course. How else could you sacrifice them to your Thallid Devourer and go in for the win?
EBWODP (Okay, so I still don't fully understand that, but I'm pretty sure I'm using it right.) Wait, if Azrael is in this game, and he was voted Best Townie (right?), Puzzle (Best Mafia) would probably be in this game too, right? And as a mafia?
@Hunted Charlie: What kind of creature tokens do I get when you come into play?

Um... Whua? Mind explaining this, guys? Is this an inside joke or some sort of hidden claim? Either way, I'd advise against random incomprehensable comments in the future on the grounds that you'll either confuse people with an inside joke or end up with mafia figuring out your hidden claim. Neither of those is desireable, in my opinion.
Back to the point, however... What does all that mean?
first off @ hunted charlie (im gonna say HC from now on) EBWODP = edit by way of double post, so yes you used it right, second of all yes i fully agree, dont claim (if you would like to know why claiming Azrael was probly a bad idea look at his custom tag, although i wont make any FOSs yet since i dont think you would have claimed him if you were mafia)
anyway the only big poster that i can think of off hand that hasnt been mentioned is TFE but i dont think he's in this game because i cant think of what purpose he would serve
Hmm... Sort of suspiscous comment by d#s there, but I'll assume he is just joking.
About the Token question by serge... That wasn't a hidden claim, or anything. At least I hope not, or else I claimed to something that I'm not.
By the way, I notice some people used the joke tag and voted me inside of the tags. That's OK, but SorryGuy, great as he is, might not notice the joke tags when he is skimming over. In which case I would have 3 votes on me. Could anyone who voted me in the tags please Unvote, just in case?

maybe he's here without a purpose...
And the other thing that the token thing could be would be that they are both mafia and are communicating through code, which happens all of the time (see endgame commentary of Newb #4 to see the significance of the word "apple")
Next, even though it was inside joke tags(mine at least) was a real vote. Only a speculative weak vote but until I find someone scummier, I am keeping my vote where it is.
Later on the news, we cover the definition of the word "irony".

I don't think a code this early would do much anyway. What would the code do? I guess saproling could be a codename for someone here, who the mafia will try to get lynched, but there hasn't been all that much info, so using a codeword now would be really stupid.
Unvote Hunted Charlie
well anyway, all of my previous posts were actually probes to see reactions. emersax was definatly the most hostile. Vote Emersax
I apologize, that wasn't meant to sound hostile, even though I guess it kinda does. I was just trying to give some advice from the future from what little I know about mafia. If I wanted to be hostile, I would have voted for you. Sorry.
dude i dunno if u actually read newb 5 but if you did you would have seen that posting for reaction is a bad idea... i think serge at least knows that now
Wait... you're right. I thought that was part of his signature, and overlooked that. I would comment on code languages, but since I'm suspected of code-stuff, I guess I shouldn't be talking.
