Beginner's Mafia 8 is open for sign ups. 
 
So begins YET another Beginner's Mafia. 
 
For those who have been following these past games, there's a new feature in bold below.
 
For those that do not know what Mafia is at all, here is a Basic Tutorial.  If you are still confused, this is still the game for you.
 
I need 9 players who are new or still inexperienced. If you've never played in these forums then this is exactly for you.  If you have played before and have played less than 5 complete games (the Karma Thread will show such) then you are also in.  All others may still ask: chances are, you already know if you are too experienced or not.
 
Note, you may ONLY play in one Beginner's Mafia at a time.  You may join if you are playing a different mafia game or if you had died in another Beginner's game.
 
I will also want 2 ICs.  ICs are nonplayers who act as coaches: one for the mafia, one for the town.  Instead, they will help the actual players gather themselves together, spot scum/town tells, learn about terminology, ext.
 
 They can comment freely on the game but should focus on developing good players, NOT winning the game.  The Town IC knows what the town knows and assists the town only.  The Mafia IC can speak to the mafia directly to assist them.  Note that the Mafia IC can speak to the town but can NOT harm them or misdirect them.  As such you do not have to fear either IC.
 
Note that though the ICs can speak as they wish, they are not there to win the game for you, only help you play better. 
 
New feature: I'm also accepting one person who wishes to host the game as well.  If you've always wanted to host but have been afraid to, this will be a good opportunity to practice.  I will act as co-host and help with any matters you need.
 
A warning: only accept this IF you are sure you will be active and attentive.  If you even THINK you MAY have problems keeping up as a host then please wait until you are sure of your schedual.  The entire game relies upon the host.

 
The Rules:
You may NOT PM to anyone except to me or from one mafia member to another.  Furthermore, ALL discussion about this game, even indirectly, can only occur in this thread.
 
All votes must be colored red.  To avoid confusion, only use that color when you are voting for someone.  You must also Unvote before you vote for another.  If you do NOT unvote, your new vote will NOT count.  No Lynch votes are allowed.
 
"Days" will last for 2 RL days.  Nights will last 24 hours or until all night roles have been sent to me.  The deadline will be posted regularly and I retain the ability to hurry the deadline for inactivity or extend the deadline if enough request it.  Note that any deadline that falls on a weekend will be pushed back to the following Monday.  Note that you may request to extend or shorten the day.
 
Upon deadline, the player with the most votes will be lynched.  If there is a tie, there will be no lynch. Once dead, you may not speak or PM anyone about the game, living or otherwise.  A Dead chat will be made available.
Mafia will be given their own Chat to speak to one another once roles have been sent.
 
Bolded sentences can be used to catch my attention.  Italics used by me is story text, or "flavor" as they call it, and is just there to be interesting.  Note you are free to apply flavor as you wish.  Note that the flavor has nothing to do with the actual gameplay and can be ignored if desired.
 
Do NOT quote my PM text and do NOT edit your posts (you can double post if you need to)
 
Lastly any suggestion of breaking a rule in the main chat will be treated as the rule already broken.  If you have any questions or wish to make sure of the legality of an action, PM me first.
 
You can, of course, ask any questions you may have.
 
These are the Roles that may appear in the game:
 
  Townsperson: The basic town role. Your goal is to help the town lynch all of the mafia players. You win as long as the town wins.
 
  Mafia: The basic antagonist role. You and the other Mafia players work together to kill off the townspeople. During the day, you pretend to be normal townspeople and voting on who is to be lynched. During the night, you will tell me the name of the player you wish to kill along with which of you will kill them. You win once you have greater than or equal to the number of town aligned players.
 
  Mafia Roleblocker: Similar to the mafia.  However, in nights when you are not the one assigned to kill, you may choose one person for yourself.  The person you choose will be unable to perform their night action.  Note that the Doctor will not know if they have been blocked, but the Cop will know.  You will not be informed if you had blocked an actual action.
 
 Mafia Godfather:  Similar to the mafia.  However, when investigated by the cop, they will show up as an innocent townsperson.
 
  Cop: An honest cop, he may choose one player each night to investigate. He will then learn if that player is Mafia or Town.
 
  Doctor: The doctor may choose one player each night to protect from the mafia's night kill.  Note that neither you nor the mafia will know if the kill had been stopped by your action.

I'll post it once the game gets under way, since it will be in a new thread.

Hey, you can't force a person into a game he doesn't want to play.

...But if it makes you happy, yes, I will play.

EDIT-Change of mind, after reading Para, I'm not in.

I'll be in.

Also, something I think should be changed from previous games - Since the ICs are not playing give them a colour or something to distinguish them. Have them always post in that colour so other players don't get as confused. I've had a lot of people think the ICs were actually players.

I'm not going to constantly post in flavored text, thankyouverymuch.  People need to read the intros harder.

In as scum IC.

While it makes sense to have the ICs post in color, or the host for that matter, it's also not something that Bay 12 hosts really do.  As such, it might be best to let them try to get used to host-like characters writing in normal text.

IC concept seems interesting. Can I PM them with questions during the game?

I'm actually going to have to withdraw from hosting this. As much as I want to, I'm not sure I can handle 18 credits work of college classes, 2 RTDs, a Mafia, Workstudy and a rather lengthy college application.
