Mafia is a classic party game and an off-shoot of Werewolf. Each player in the game is assigned a role which is part of a team and they do their best to see that their team wins. You can read more about the game here: http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Main_Page I want to stress that while it may sound confusing at first, it really isn't and can be a lot of fun to play. So if you are unsure try it out anyway.
The two teams are: Townsfolk and Mafia.
The game is separated into Day and Night. During the Day, the Townsfolk votes to (hopefully) lynch a Mafia member meanwhile the Mafia pretend to be Townsfolk and try to lynch innocent people. During the night, the Mafia side choose to kill one person and get themselves closer to winning.
Goals * The Townsfolk win when all the Mafia are dead. * The Mafia win when they outnumber (or equal) the Townsfolk and the other faction of Mafia is dead.
Typical Roles
Spoiler:

Cop * You win when all the Mafia are dead. * During the day, you vote to lynch someone. o You want to lynch Mafia so you win the game. o You don't want to be lynched because you can't win if you're dead (though your team can...).
* During the night, you choose someone to investigate by sending me a PM. o If my response is "guilty" then the person is Mafia. o If my response is "innocent" then the person is not Mafia.
Doctor * You win when all the Mafia are dead. * During the day, you vote to lynch someone. o You want to lynch Mafia so you win the game. o You don't want to be lynched because you can't win if you're dead (though your team can...).

Mafia * You win when you outnumber or make up half the living players. * During the day, you vote to lynch someone. o You want to lynch someone who is not Mafia so you win the game. o You don't want to be lynched because you can't win if you're dead (though your team can...).
* During the night, you talk with your fellow Mafia and choose someone to murder by sending me a PM. o If the Doctor is protecting your target, you fail to kill them and waste a night. o If the Doctor is not protecting your target, they die... in painfully creative ways.
Misc. Rules * Do NOT talk about the game outside of the game thread unless your role allows it (i.e. Mafia). * Do NOT post your role PM. * Do NOT talk (post) after night falls. * Do NOT talk after you've been killed, lynched, or otherwise discombobulated. * If you do not PM me with your night action within a reasonable time period, I will randomly decide it for you. * Don't take the game too seriously, remember it's all just for fun.
