This thread is used for signing up to host games. Unless you have already run a few games on the site, you should post your playing/hosting experience before signing up. If you wish to host a game, please include the following information in your post:
Game name
Size
Complexity
Anything interesting about the setup that may draw players in, such as special mechanics or original flavor.
This thread is also used for post-game replacement reports and recommendations for the probation list. After your game is complete, please provide a list of all players who needed to be replaced, and any extenuating circumstances you are aware of which contributed to their replacement. If you believe that a player could have additional activity problems in the future, please notify us so that future hosts can take that information into account.
Authorized Setup Reviewers
All hosts, regardless of experience, must have their setups reviewed by two other players before running. Please contact a reviewer from the appropriate list below. If you are interested in becoming a reviewer, please make a post in the council thread, or contact Azrael, Silvercrys3467, shadowlancerx, or Zionite.

General Hosting Requirements
Hosting Limit - A player may sign up to host one game of each type tops.
Before signing up to host, you should complete playing in at least two games on-site, with another in progress or finished.
It is the responsibility of all prospective hosts to monitor their place on the lists. Hosts should be prepared to host at any time when their name is in the top three of a list. Please have your setups completed and reviewed (if not on their way to review) when you sign up to host a game. When it is a host’s turn to host their game, they will be PMed. If they are not ready, or have a scheduling conflict, they may ask to be pushed back 2-4 slots. If they completely fail to respond to their game prompt, they will be removed from the Hosting List. If a player wishes to be re-added to the queue, they may request such, and they will be added back at the end of the hosting list.

A Normal is considered a "good old fashioned game of Mafia". Normals are returning to their intended roots of reasonably simple games that are a next logical step from Basic games, that allow players of all experience levels to play a very pure game and test their skills without having to deal with complex mechanics or overly swingy or game-changing roles.
The following are requirements for Normal games:
-No additional rules which fundamentally alter the game.
-No alignment changes.
-No more than one Mafia team.
-No cults, Jesters, or other weird neutrals.
-Particularly unusual roles of any alignment are subject to reviewer discretion.
-No roles with infeasible win conditions.
-No voting after death. Other post-death abilities are subject to reviewer discretion.
-No players outside of the game or on the replacement list may have a role or any effect upon the game.
-The mod may not have a role.
-A strongly recommended size of 14-18 players.

Mafia Rules and Guidelines
-Game Limit-
Players may participate in only three games at any given time. An exception to this rule can be made by moderators in need of a replacement for a game, if no other replacement can be found.
-Suicide-
If you no longer wish to participate in a game for any reason, contact the moderator. Do NOT attempt to force the moderator to modkill you.
-Current Game Discussion-
A player in an ongoing game may not discuss that game with any other player in that game, or in public forums. Also, it is a good idea to ask permission before discussing the game with anyone outside the game, because they can no longer replace into the game once any meaningful discussion takes place.
-Cryptoclaims-
Unless explicitly authorized by the game moderator in their opening rules section, cryptoclaims are forbidden.
-Out-of-game Promises-
Players may not use out-of-game promises (example: I swear on my grandmother's life, I bet you my entire collection of magic cards, etc.) in an effort to influence other players.
-Multiple Players On One Account
"Hydra" accounts - multiple people playing and posting as one player with shared access to the "gimmick" account, are not allowed unless they have prior approval from the specific game Moderator. Please do not do this on your own.
-Traitor/Alignment Switching Roles
Game moderators are strongly encouraged to be extraordinarily careful if they seek to include a traitor role in their designs. These roles are notorious for causing games to implode, for creating fairness concerns, and for the challenge they pose to the town's behavioral analysis. (See Discussion in Council Thread, Post 3351, onwards.)
Player Activity and Probation/Blacklist
Blacklist
A player who has been blacklisted may no longer play in any mafia games. The blacklist is reserved for players who seriously compromise the health of games. Blacklisted players can appeal to the mafia council if they wish to have their name removed from the list.

Probation list
Players listed below may be denied entry at the discretion of moderators, due to a history of chronic lurking, replacing, or some other activity detrimental to the game.
Players and hosts may recommend players to be added to the probation list by PMing the Council once the game is concluded (Azrael, shadowlancerx, Silvercrys3467, Zionite), or by posting a recommendation in the Council thread. A player on the probation list has a game cap of 1 at a time.
A host may recommend the removal of a player from this list if they participated well in said host’s game, and players have the right to petition the council for removal from the probation list.

DoTA 2 Mafia
Knights of the Old Republic Mafia
Game Name: Tower of Joy Mafia
Size: Mini (11 players)
Complexity: Low. Some role uniqueness but this game is simpler and less swingy than the standard Alternate Game of Thrones Series games.
Misc: A Prequel to the Alternate Game of Thrones Series - this game is a re-enactment of the event that caused the games to start a timeline trajectory that differs from the series cannon and has resulted in the games that many of you have played (Winterfell, The Wall) - the battle at the Tower of Joy! The flavor of the game will be presented as real-time happenings in a battle.
Participating characters and alignments of those characters (not players) will be open knowledge (and will not be able to be claimed during the game, along with flavor).
Role functions will be claimable. Game will be full-reveal upon flip.
The happenings of the battle will shape future games in the series and may insert characters (and their motives) into the universe that are not currently alive in the source material.

Mafia:
1 SNIPER: Sniper may PM host once per game and say, *I would like to shoot *PLAYERNAME*". That player will die. The sniper WILL NOT BE REVEALEd
1 SPY: Spy may PM host and ask, "Say *MESSAGE* to *PLAYERNAME*" The message will be anonymous, and the recipient can respond.
1 JAILER: Each day, chooses someone to capture during the night. They can talk to the jailed through the host, and the jailed will be protected from kills and will not be able to take actions during that night.
Villagers:
1 PRESIDENT: President will be revealed to all other Villagers at the start of the game. The Mafia will not know who the president is. The President learns how many roles in the town may kill each phase and may suggest a list of targets to the host to be randomly distributed amongst the town players with killing abilities.
1 BODYGUARD: During the night, visits a player. If that player would be killed during that night or the following day, the bodyguard dies instead. CANNOT CHOOSE THE SAME PERSON TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW.
1 VICE PRESIDENT: When the PRESIDENT dies, the Vice President becomes a copy of the President. Once per game, as a night action while Vice President, may propose to a player. If the player accepts, the couple's roles and alignments are revealed to each other.
1 BOMB: When they are shot, they also kill the shooter.
1 TINKERER: Each night, if unvisited, creates a gun and arms themselves with it.
1 APPORTIONER: Each night, you may target a player. If that player would be killed during that night or the following day phase, they survive until the end of the next day phase instead.
1 BULLETPROOF: Can survive being shot once.

This thread is for posting vacancies and signing up to replace into in-progress Mafia games with vacancies.
To help us quickly process your posts, please use this thread only for its intended purpose, not for banter about the game.
This thread is also where one can express interest in being contacted by hosts to join games of any type. State what type(s) of game(s) you're interested in - game type, such as Mini, Micro, or Normal, general complexity or level of flavor you might enjoy, or whatever it is that you enjoy in a Mafia game. We have many games of varying designs, and if a host is looking for more players and thinks they have something that fits the bill, they'll PM you.
New Players, if you wish to be contacted by game hosts when a new game is available, feel free to post here and identify yourself as a new player, and whether you'd prefer to join a game with or without unique role design or additional game mechanics. Hosts who are looking for games may check this thread and contact you if they are looking for additional players. You may also (and this method is more reliable) check back from time to time for sign-up threads. There is generally always a sign-up thread of some type available, and you can sign up directly, there.
If you have any questions, please contact our Mafia Secretary, Bur, or one of our Council members, who are listed in the OP of the Mafia Council thread.
Ah hell, the lists are long enough, might as well put myself on them. Please sign me up for the following:
Normal Mafia, flavor Big Trouble (Green Flame!) -- status, to be written and will need a reviewer.
Specialty Mafia, flavor World of Magnamund. (May try this a different way, we shall see, but no harm in joining the queue I suppose.) --status, in review.
You are already signed up to host a Basic. You can only sign up for up to 2 games. So, which of these do you want added?
@MH: I know that you're happy that your team won, and that's fine. With AI's role, it would have taken some really extraordinary circumstances for the Rebels to lose this game. I've come to terms with this, because I found out about it 2 months ago and have moved on. Plus, I DYH, and know that his setups are generally flawless, so one mistake is no big deal.
That having been said, you played terribly. You were under suspicion the entire game, and avoided lynching Day 1 because another scum suddenly started acting more scummy than you(TFF), but happened to be on a different scum team, making it impossible for early game lynches to gain any traction(seriously, Vezok had to CLAIM SCUM for the Day 1 lynch to finally happen, and TFF's complete collapse when Azrael started in on him was the absolute most obvious scum fallout ever, and he STILL didn't get lynched over it). You continued to play terribly throughout the entire game, and only didn't get lynched because, fortunately for you, the town was just a little more terrible than you were. I know that you try hard to emulate your town game when you're scum, but you failed to do so this game, and just got lucky. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, but I find your attitude regarding your own performance in this game to be distasteful and lacking objectivity.
You yourself said that my scum game was much improved this game, so if I feel that I deserve some recognition for at least improving, get over it.
How would you feel if you were just getting told how terrible you did?
It's that time again, ladies and gentlemen! Time for everyone to decide which game they want to play in the most! Same process as before, but for any who weren't around then, the guidelines are as follows:
Similar to the Fast Track Queue, a Player's Choice games will bypass the normal queue process and run immediately after they have been selected. Also like the FTQ, they will require an authorized reviewer to have looked over the setup.
The key difference between the PCQ and the FTQ? Community involvement. As the name would imply, it will be the commmunity's vote that determines which will be the next game to be selected for the PCQ. Also, you can submit a game to the PCQ that has already been nominated to the FTQ.
So, what do you need to do to get on the PCQ?
1. Complete your setup in advance. Make sure it's a good one.
2. Contact an authorized reviewer to work with you on your setup. (We are also looking to increase our numbers of additional authorized reviewers at this time. Please let us know if you're interested in being considered.)
3. You and/or your authorized reviewer nominate your setup by posting a pitch for the setup once the PCQ thread opens, describing relevant features of the design, perhaps providing a flavor sample, explaining why players should be interested in voting for it, as well as any areas for concern, such as balance.
4. The official submission period will have a deadline of 2 weeks. However, this deadline is able to be extended at the request of any designers who need just a bit more time.
How will the voting process be handled?
Once the official submission period deadline has been reached, players will have exactly 2 weeks for the voting period. Official vote counts will be made by the MafiaScribe account. Once the voting period has ended, the setup with the most votes will win and will be free to open sign-ups for their game.
Players may change which setup they are voting for at any time, though it may be more convenient for counting purposes if you reserve your bolded votes until near the conclusion of the final voting period. But by all means, feel free to comment on the setups in the meantime. Also, if you have any suggestions for how to improve the PCQ selection process, those would also be more than welcome.
The second PCQ nomination contest is hereby begun. Best of luck to the competitors.
Due to an incident occurring on another site that involves players who also play on this site, we have updated the Rules to clarify that multiple people may NOT play as one player on a shared "gimmick" account in any game without receiving prior approval from the game Moderator.
To whoever updates the first post: basic 22 has fires, and I think 20 has ended, so you might want to update the hosting list and list of games running.
Updated.
Also, Shadow Knight has messaged me. Per the rules, he is currently being relisted third from the top on the Specialty game list. If the two people who are now in front of him (desCoures and iLord) do not object to him reclaiming the top spot then he might be allowed to get it back, given his situation and that he reappeared relatively soon after missing his prompt.
It may not even be too extraordinarily difficult for past games - we should still have google-discussion records for most or all of them. I'd be in favor of that, especially going forward. Arim, Kraj?
EDIT: After perusing the google group, there are the games I believe have been FTQ'd so far. It may not be exhaustive.

The happenings of the battle will shape future games in the series and may insert characters (and their motives) into the universe that are not currently alive in the source material.

Mafia:
1 SNIPER: Sniper may PM host once per game and say, *I would like to shoot *PLAYERNAME*". That player will die. The sniper WILL NOT BE REVEALEd
1 SPY: Spy may PM host and ask, "Say *MESSAGE* to *PLAYERNAME*" The message will be anonymous, and the recipient can respond.
1 JAILER: Each day, chooses someone to capture during the night. They can talk to the jailed through the host, and the jailed will be protected from kills and will not be able to take actions during that night.
Villagers:
1 PRESIDENT: President will be revealed to all other Villagers at the start of the game. The Mafia will not know who the president is. The President learns how many roles in the town may kill each phase and may suggest a list of targets to the host to be randomly distributed amongst the town players with killing abilities.
1 BODYGUARD: During the night, visits a player. If that player would be killed during that night or the following day, the bodyguard dies instead. CANNOT CHOOSE THE SAME PERSON TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW.
1 VICE PRESIDENT: When the PRESIDENT dies, the Vice President becomes a copy of the President. Once per game, as a night action while Vice President, may propose to a player. If the player accepts, the couple's roles and alignments are revealed to each other.
1 BOMB: When they are shot, they also kill the shooter.
1 TINKERER: Each night, if unvisited, creates a gun and arms themselves with it.
1 APPORTIONER: Each night, you may target a player. If that player would be killed during that night or the following day phase, they survive until the end of the next day phase instead.
1 BULLETPROOF: Can survive being shot once.
1 AGENT: Agent may PM host and ask, "Say *MESSAGE* to *PLAYERNAME*" The message will be anonymous, and the recipient can respond.
1 JAILER: Each day, chooses someone to capture during the night. They can talk to the jailed through the host, and the jailed will be protected from kills and will not be able to take actions during that night.
To help us quickly process your posts, please use this thread only for its intended purpose, not for banter about the game.
This thread is also where one can express interest in being contacted by hosts to join games of any type. State what type(s) of game(s) you're interested in - game type, such as Mini, Micro, or Normal, general complexity or level of flavor you might enjoy, or whatever it is that you enjoy in a Mafia game. We have many games of varying designs, and if a host is looking for more players and thinks they have something that fits the bill, they'll PM you.
New Players, if you wish to be contacted by game hosts when a new game is available, feel free to post here and identify yourself as a new player, and whether you'd prefer to join a game with or without unique role design or additional game mechanics. Hosts who are looking for games may check this thread and contact you if they are looking for additional players. You may also (and this method is more reliable) check back from time to time for sign-up threads. There is generally always a sign-up thread of some type available, and you can sign up directly, there.
If you have any questions, please contact our Mafia Secretary, Bur, or one of our Council members, who are listed in the OP of the Mafia Council thread.
I've added you to the list, but not just for basics. I think you can handle more than that.
I've updated the list, as well.
@ Anaklusmos: You also have to report modkills that were performed. Luckily, I was in the game, so I already added it. Just for future reference.

You are already signed up to host a Basic. You can only sign up for up to 2 games. So, which of these do you want added?
You yourself said that my scum game was much improved this game, so if I feel that I deserve some recognition for at least improving, get over it.
How would you feel if you were just getting told how terrible you did?

Similar to the Fast Track Queue, a Player's Choice games will bypass the normal queue process and run immediately after they have been selected. Also like the FTQ, they will require an authorized reviewer to have looked over the setup.
The key difference between the PCQ and the FTQ? Community involvement. As the name would imply, it will be the commmunity's vote that determines which will be the next game to be selected for the PCQ. Also, you can submit a game to the PCQ that has already been nominated to the FTQ.
So, what do you need to do to get on the PCQ?
1. Complete your setup in advance. Make sure it's a good one.
2. Contact an authorized reviewer to work with you on your setup. (We are also looking to increase our numbers of additional authorized reviewers at this time. Please let us know if you're interested in being considered.)
3. You and/or your authorized reviewer nominate your setup by posting a pitch for the setup once the PCQ thread opens, describing relevant features of the design, perhaps providing a flavor sample, explaining why players should be interested in voting for it, as well as any areas for concern, such as balance.
4. The official submission period will have a deadline of 2 weeks. However, this deadline is able to be extended at the request of any designers who need just a bit more time.
How will the voting process be handled?
Once the official submission period deadline has been reached, players will have exactly 2 weeks for the voting period. Official vote counts will be made by the MafiaScribe account. Once the voting period has ended, the setup with the most votes will win and will be free to open sign-ups for their game.
Players may change which setup they are voting for at any time, though it may be more convenient for counting purposes if you reserve your bolded votes until near the conclusion of the final voting period. But by all means, feel free to comment on the setups in the meantime. Also, if you have any suggestions for how to improve the PCQ selection process, those would also be more than welcome.
The second PCQ nomination contest is hereby begun. Best of luck to the competitors.
Current Nominees:
Cyan's Impossible Mafia (Seppel)
World of Warcraft Mafia: Secrets of Grim Batol (zindabad)
Hetalia Mafia (Gigas1)
Updated.
Also, Shadow Knight has messaged me. Per the rules, he is currently being relisted third from the top on the Specialty game list. If the two people who are now in front of him (desCoures and iLord) do not object to him reclaiming the top spot then he might be allowed to get it back, given his situation and that he reappeared relatively soon after missing his prompt.

Added. I also attempted to designate specialty games.
-Azrael.
AlphaInsidious is next to run his Normal game and may begin sign-ups whenever he is ready.
As should be done with any multi-account, after its game is done.
