 Hey guys, starting a game of Mafia I'll be checking daily.
Honor System: Don't join if you've been on a winning team before.

I have been approved as the official continuation of Beginner's Mafia.

-Rautherdir

Ics-
-FallacyOfUrist
-IronyOwl

Mafia IC-

Replacements-
-Aurnyx
-Open for sign-ups

-Please do not sign up if you have won two games of Mafia before.

Gameplay and Concept
The 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 ten 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, while the mafia win by avoiding being lynched and nightkilling.

Potential Roles

Vanilla Townie - A member of the town with no special abilities.
Vanilla Mafioso - A member of the mafia with no special abilities.
Cop (Town) - A cop may choose to inspect a single player during the night and learn that player's alignment.
Jailkeeper (Town) - A combination of a Roleblocker and a Doctor, a Jailkeeper both protects and blocks the target from acting during the night.
Role Cop (Mafia) - Much like the Town Cop counterpart, the Role Cop investigates a single other during the night to learn their role, instead of their alignment.

The only role that receives the success of their results in this setup is the Cop and Rolecop. All other roles are not informed if they were successful or not.

One of the following setups is used:
1. 2 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop, Jailkeeper.
2. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop, Jailkeeper.
3. 2 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Jailkeeper.
4. 2 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop.

Rules

Voting - Votes are cast in red and should include the name of the targeted player. Other colors may be ignored. Jack A T, Jack and Jake A T, are all acceptable ways to cast a vote if the target is clear enough.
If you want to remove your vote, you may put unvote in red text. You must explicitly state this to remove your vote. You may put the name of the player you are unvoting in red after the unvote, e.g., unvote  Jack A T, but it is not required.
If the day ends with two or more people having the same number of votes, the day will end with no player being lynched.
It is also possible to vote for a no lynch to explicitly end the day without a lynch.
Death - When you are dead, you are prohibited from posting in the thread. You may make a single 'bah' post after you die, however, it must not contain any game-related information. You may be asked to edit out any information that breaks this rule.
PMs - PMs between players are prohibited. You may freely PM the moderator to ask game-related questions, what the moderator may reveal, however, is limited.
Do not quote any direct correspondence with the moderator, including role PMs and rule-related queries.
Edits - Editing posts is prohibited. Do not edit your post for any reason, even if your post comes out as a train-wreck of formatting, spelling, punctuation, and/or grammar. The preview button exists; use it.
Replacements/Activity - If you find yourself unable to play, you may, and should, request a replacement. We may try to talk you out of it if it's for any other reason besides you not having enough time to play.
Prods may be requested for a player. If they have not posted in the thread within 24 hours, excluding weekends, they will be prodded.
If you stop playing altogether without notifying me, you will receive a warning after 48 hours, and a forced replace after 72 hours.
Please be active. The greatest killer of beginner games is poor activity.
Day/Night Length - Days will last 72 hours. Nights will last 24 hours, or until all night actions are received. Weekends are not counted in terms of day or night length. E.G., if a night starts at 12:00 PM Friday, it will end at 12:00 PM Monday.
If the game is in a LYLO or MYLO situation, there will be no formal deadline. >50% Players must vote to end the day, or votes must not change for 24-hours.
Extensions/Shortens - A player may vote for an extension to increase the length of the day. It requires >33% of the current number of players to request an extension for an extension to be granted. A player may also vote for a shorten. It requires >50% of the current number of players for a shorten to be granted. Extensions increase day length by 48 hours, while shortens will immediately end the day as soon as possible. There are only two extensions per day, with other extensions being granted at the moderator's discretion for special reasons.
Votes for extension/shorten are done in boldface. Extend, Extension, Extend it up yo, Shorten it out y'all are acceptable ways to vote for an extension or shorten
Extensions or shortens can be opposed. Opposition to extensions or shortens are done in boldface. Oppose Extend, Opposition to the Extension, Oppose Shorten, are acceptable ways to oppose an extension or shorten. Oppositions count against the total number of votes for an extension or shorten.
Extensions count as opposition to shortens. Similarly, shortens count as opposition to extensions.
Extensions, Shortens, and Oppositions will be counted and processed by the moderator in the order that they are cast.
External Participation - While the game is ongoing, if you are not a player, an IC, or a mod, refrain from posting in the thread.
Play to win! There is no hopeless situation, so don't ever give up. And remember, be bold! You learn nothing and you gain nothing by holding back.
Miscellaneous - Use of cryptographic hashing is not permitted.  If you want to have hidden/obfuscated messages in your posts for later use, come up with them using your own wetware.

We have a beginner's mafia (here's #55, which ended recently), complete with rules + a beginner's guide, and that would be a good way to run this. The setup has 7 town (two of which are experienced and give advice to people), 2 scum (both inexperienced), and 1 scum non-player that advises the scum. And we need someone to run the new one.

I don't know too well the "official" games that are done, I merely noticed that most of the popular Mafia games just had game overs.

Could I just reformat mine as Beginner's Mafia #56?
Is there someone in charge I should ask, or can I just do it?

If this were to be a beginner's game, it can be run at any time.  However, beginner's games have specific formats and rules that we stick with.  If you can copy how the most recent beginner's games were run, fine.

If this is not a beginner's game, we have a queue for new games in the "Games Threshold Discussion and List" thread that you would need to sign up for.

No one is really in charge per se, but Mephansteras is the Mafia board moderator.

You do realize that beginner's games are 9 players? 
One of the following setups is used:
1. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop, Jailkeeper.
2. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop.
3. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Jailkeeper.


Honor System: Don't join if you've been on a winning team before.


-Please do not sign up if you have won two games of Mafia before.
I love the consistency.  Also, you realize that two of the players in a standard beginner's games are experienced players?

It is technically 10 players, although one just provides advice in the mafia chat and doesn't participate otherwise. But the IC thing could be emphasized a bit more, yes.

If you can't lynch 'em, they're not a player.
