Beginner's Mafia LII
On the side of a mountain, surounded by forests, there was a hole. This hole is not a warm cozy hole, nor is it a small dry hole. This hole is a troll hole, and let it never be said there is no place damper or smellier than a troll hole.
It was here that a group of ten trolls would stay each day, sheltering themselves from the sun. Each would argue over who got the largest portion of goat, or goblin, or whatever the meal that they caught would be. They hadn't heard of hobbits or dwarves, and certainly hadn't ever encountered a wizard.
But one morning the biggest troll in the group didn't return to the troll hole. The other trolls waited until the day was over, and when they ventured out they found him turned to stone, holding a goblin (still struggling) and standing in a way that suggested he was having an arguement with another troll. There was no other troll found.
The nine remaining trolls had a discussion. It had to be one of them who was out there when their leader was turned to stone, but the lack of a second statue meant that one of them wasn't a troll. They all looked like trolls, though, so one of them had to be something else. And to keep looking like a troll, it had to be working with another something else. Some of them wondered what a something else would taste like...

Welcome to Beginner's Mafia LII. As the title suggests, this game is for beginners. If you have no idea how to play or you have some experience but you're still not quite sure what to do, then this is the right place for you. If you sign up, you have one goal: Learn how to play the game of mafia. Since this is not an easy thing to do on your own and we wouldn't dream of forcing you to do it, you will be assisted by two 'inexperience challenged' players, or ICs. The ICs are experienced players on the board who have signed up to help you learn. You can always trust that the advice they give is genuine, however, you cannot always trust the IC, as they are players in the game and have the same likelihood of being scum as every other single player.
If this is your first time playing, keep in mind that games of forum mafia take several weeks, and can sometimes run longer than a month, and that you are expected to be able to play continuously through that time. If you can't anticipate being able to play for that long for whatever reason, then maybe the game of mafia isn't for you. But if it is, then welcome to the mafia subforum, and I hope you have a great time playing.
Gameplay and ConceptThe game of mafia has a simple concept. A large group of players known as the town plays against a smaller group of players known as the mafia. In this setup, there are nine players, with seven town and two mafia.
Before the game begins, each players is given a role and an alignment by the moderator. There are two alignments in this setup: Town and Mafia. The town outnumber the mafia, but each individual member of the town does not know the alignment of any of the other members. The mafia know the alignment of everyone on their team and they can discuss the game privately in a special mafia chat. The mafia has access to a nightkill that they may use in the Night phase, while the town occasionally has roles with abilities that are used during the night.
Once everyone has a role, the game begins in the Day phase. During the Day phase, players may discuss the game and each player has a vote that they cast publicly to lynch a player. At the end of the day after some predetermined amount of time, the player with the most votes is lynched. Lynching does two things: it reveals a player's role and alignment, and it removes a player from the game. Once lynched, a player is no longer allowed to post in the thread.
Once the day ends, the game proceeds to Night. During the Night, discussion is prohibited. The mafia team picks a target to nightkill. If available, any town power roles use their actions as well. At the end of the night, the target the mafia chose to nightkill has their role and alignment revealed, and that player is removed from the game in a similar way to being lynched. Once the night ends, the game proceeds to another Day.
Both teams win by eliminating the other. However, due to the nature of the teams, they win very differently. The town win by finding and lynching the mafia, [/list][/list]
