This is the official New Player Mafia game thread. The game is played here. If you are dead or not playing, do not post in this thread. Here's how the game works, and some rules. First, the game is split into two different phases: Day Phase and Night Phase.
Day Phase
During day phase everybody discusses who they think is mafia, and will choose to hang who they think is acting most suspiciously. The discussion is self-explanatory; give out opinions, talk about other people's opinion, and other things you find relevant.
Hanging is done by voting for a player. Simply bold your vote, such as Vote General Spoon or Hang General Spoon. As long as I know that you're voting and for who, you should be good. You can change your vote at anytime by making a new vote. Once you hit the deadline, the player with the most votes on them will be lynched, killing them, and the game will move into night phase.
The town will want to use the lynch to eliminate the mafia, while the mafia will want to get somebody else lynched.
Since it is to the town's advantage to always lynch somebody in the way this game is setup, I will not be allowing you to choose to lynch nobody. You may not vote to lynch yourself.
Night Phase
During the night phase the mafia privately discusses strategy, and who want to kill that night. Once they have come to a decision on who to kill, they will notify me, and the game will move into day phase, and I will announce who the mafia killed during the night.
Death
When a player dies I will reveal their role to everybody in the game. Once you're dead, please do not talk in the game any further.
Private Messages
I ask that you do not communicate with any of the other players through PMs, IRC, etc. The exception to this rule is the mafia, who may communicate in the PM I open for them.
Winning
YOU CAN STILL WIN WITH YOUR TEAM EVEN IF YOU'RE DEAD.
The town wins if kill all the mafia.
The mafia wins if they kill the town.
Because the town will be unable to stop the mafia if there are as many members of the mafia as there are town, the game will end in a mafia victory if the number of mafia equals the number of town.
