Welcome to Newbie 1382! The Mafia has infiltrated your town and killed the mayor!
It's up to you to discover the identities of the bad guys and bring peace back to your home!
Do not quote your role PM or any other PM/QT communication from the mod.
Do not contact any player in or outside of the game about the game.
Do not use encrypted or hard-to-see text (including "invisible" text, text below the 50% text size option, or text hidden via BBCode (not including spoilered text)).
Do not edit or delete posts in this thread. If you made a formatting mistake, I will fix it for you (if it doesn't change the content of the post).
Activity
If a player doesn't post in-game after a period of 48 hours, other players may request a prod of that player.
If a player doesn't post in-game after a period of 72 hours and another player hasn't made a request, I will prod that player.
If a player is prodded, that player has 24 hours to make an in-game post before a replacement will be found.
If a player receives multiple prods and/or prod-dodges excessively, that player will be subject to a force-replace.
If you are going to be absent for a specific period of time, please let me know ahead of time!
Votes and Lynching
Votes must be in the format of VOTE: Player Name or
VOTE: Player Name
. Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as it is obvious to me who is being voted for. If I perceive it as a vote, it will count as a vote.
Unvotes are not necessary to change a vote.
A player will be lynched if a majority of the players have voted for that player.
You may vote for a
No Lynch
. If a majority of players vote for a No Lynch, the game will proceed to Night without a lynch.
All living players, including the lynchee, may continue to post until I lock the thread.
Once I have posted your death scene, you may not post ("bah" posts are not allowed).
Behavior
Harassment of an individual player is NOT permitted. While this is a competitive game, no personal attacks will be tolerated.
Always play to your win condition.
Do not discuss this game anywhere else with anyone else unless your role allows you to.

This game is using the standard Newbie Game setup, Matrix6. One row or one column will be randomly chosen from the table below and the remaining six roles will be filled in by Mafia Goons and Vanilla Townies as appropriate to create a total of 2 Mafia-aligned players and 7 Town-aligned players.

Hi all, hope we all have a great game. I'm gonna VOTE: Mr Flay
He's the only name I recognize, therefore he must be guilty.
This is the first time I've played anything other than 2of4 in Rome so I'm going to look the rules over better than normal. I'm a friendly neighborhood SE, which means I've played a couple of games and know a
bit
about the terminology and theory of Mafia. I can answer questions if pressed, but I'd rather the honor go to our IC (Mr Flay). Hope to see some posts later today.

Hey there, I've been lurking for awhile on the boards, and finally decided to start playing. Good luck, all!
Anyways, I'm clearly going to... VOTE: rmpeacoc. He's the only non-newbie whose player number is even. Classic scum tell.

Hey all, this is my first game as SE and by all standards I still consider myself quite the noob. Hope I can be helpful to this town with that said the Random Voting Stage (RVS) is already underway!
VOTE: notquitethere. Why aren't you there?

Greetings humans! With only fourteen days for Day One, I encourage everyone to post a minimum of once every 24 hours. More often is good (to a point), but you don't HAVE to post every time the thread advances. That way can turn into being buried under pseudospam. If you have something to say, or especially if you have something to ask/comment on by another player, post! Waiting for people to 'catch up' because they haven't read in 3 days, so they take 2 days to read up, which means they're now two more days behind...that is the worst.
Who here has never played Mafia online before? And how long do you think the Random Voting Stage should last, with this time frame?

I've played before, but on a non-Mafia based board. They pretty much always no lynch on day 1.

This one's kinda tough. I wouldn't mind any amount of time, as long as we're getting to serious votes with 5 or so days left. Of course, this seems like the kind of thing that would be hard to pin down to any concrete time period.

For you personally, or are you just being pessimistic? I did say 'encourage'... steady flow makes the game roll much smoother.

For me, personally, I mean. I'm a bit forgetful and procrastinate a bit. I should at least be able to post every other day.

I've played a fair bit of online mafia, just not here. RVS ends the moment a serious reason to vote someone appears.

Well, obviously because I'm here.

When do you think is (if ever) the right time to claim if you're a cop?

So, this is a you constraint, and not a time constraint, right? I know the lurking is scummy idea is out of vogue, but I'm going to be paying particular attention to your answers. Especially since they will be few and far between, and you've told us this from the start.

That pretty much never happens on this site. We're MUCH more focused on the Day game than the Night game, and a No Lynch requires abandoning one of your chances to eliminate scum. Yes, D1 is a low-information period, but that's kind of the way the game goes...

Really depends on the situation.

Hi guys! My first game here, I've played forum mafia a few times elsewhere, but I'm pretty much a complete noob.
I'll VOTE: jon_h61
Because he's an SE and the first one to vote. Eager beavers always scum!

It seems to be counterproductive, but the info we get, and the chance we'll nail scum and make it 7 town to 1 mafia, makes it smart.

@ Jerry The odds go down when you no lynch Day one for a Town win. It's been proven time and again. It doesn't matter if we lynch Town or scum, we have a better chance to win with a Day one lynch. Read the evidence for yourself, it's in Mafia Discussion and is
very
convincing. We need the day one lynch no matter what.
@ Lortaku I'm an eager beaver for a lynch, we've only thirteen days to decide on who to lynch.
I know this wasn't to me, but I'll put in my two cents worth.
In post 12, notquitethere wrote:When do you think is (if ever) the right time to claim if you're a cop?
I've never been a cop, but I'd probably claim if I had a guilty, it was getting late in the day, and I've failed to convince Town the slot was guilty any other way. I'd hope it was later in the game, because I'd have just made myself useless as a PR. Unless we had a doc or a blocking role.

^ Oh, if I was run up to L-1 I probably wouldn't claim, depends on the circumstances.

I'm here, I'm fear.
Vote: jon_h
100% of SE's in my previous game were scum. A heuristic to trust.
The game works this way, I catch scum and you sheep me. Good? Good.

Us SEs get raps, and all we did was play a few games!!? But with logic like that, it must be true. I'd sheep that, but...
