After the success of the
first mafia game on CP, there has been plenty of interest in another game. This thread is for you to sign up for a new game starting up soon. The setup of this game will have less abilities going around, and the roles in the game will be known beforehand. This will be more about figuring out players by their posts, and less about trying to discover the game mechanics and what roles are in there.
NOTE: If you played in the previous mafia game and are willing to hold out for 24 hours or so to allow new players to sign up, it would be appreciated. If you were killed early or just really want to play in this one as well, that's fine too.
This is a suggestion, not a requirement.
If you're unaware of how forum mafia works, here is a quick primer on the basics:
The setup is basically that amongst the players are a majority of town dwellers (or "townies") and a minority of mafia (or "scum"). The town's objective is to figure out the identities of and kill all of the mafia in their midst, whereas the mafia's objective is to kill enough townies to eliminate their majority. Typically about 20% of the players are the mafia.
The catch is that while the mafia know who each other are and can talk freely in private, the townies can only talk publically in the thread and each one knows nothing more than their own role. This is what makes finding the mafia so exciting, as they will conspire to try and throw the town off track.
The game is split into days. Every day the players will vote to lynch someone, and by the end of the day the player with the most votes is lynched and their role revealed - they are then out of the game. However, if at any point during the day there is a voting majority for one person (e.g. 8 votes out of 14 people) the day will end immediately and they will be lynched. This is known as the 'hammer'.
After each day comes a night period, during which the mafia decide on an additional player to kill. They are removed from the game and the next day begins. Some special townies also have actions they may perform during the night - for example, the cop may investigate one player per night (and will be told if they are mafia or town) and the doctor may choose one player to protect from being killed that night. The identities of these players are not known by anyone other than the players themselves, which is good for them because otherwise they become clear targets for the mafia.
Here is a good wiki to read for information:
