Setup Information

NewD3 (as designed by RadiantCowbells):

	A	B	C
Mafia	Mafia Roleblocker	Mafia Rolecop	Mafia Goon
Row 1	Town Cop and Town Doctor	Town Tracker and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Cop and Vanilla Townie
Row 2	Town Jailkeeper and Town Tracker	Town Jailkeeper and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Jailkeeper and Vanilla Townie
Row 3	Town Mason and Town Mason	Town Tracker and Town Doctor	Town Mason and Town Mason

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates one mafia role from the top of a column, and then two town roles from a row below the selected mafia role.
The remaining six roles will be filled in by

one mafia goon

and

five vanilla townies

appropriately, to create a

2-mafia

and

7-town

setup.

All Newbie games use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects.

Mafia Roleblocker

action takes precedence over a

Town Jailkeeper

action should that apply.

Mafia are able to communicate in their Private Topic at all times.

Introduction and Tips

Thanks to Irrelephant11 and others for their contributions to these tips.

Here are some helpful links (a lot of them from our helpful wiki):

-> Forum Rules and Guidelines
-> The Glossary
-> Commonly Used Abbreviations
-> The Newbie Guide
-> Articles on How to Play Well (be sure to check the dates these were written/updated, as good advice changes over time)

Key Concepts and Tips

Activity

Try to check in at least once a day.

Besides the activity requirements listed in the moderator's original post, it's just necessary for a fun and healthy game that everyone

plays

. If you post very rarely, or only post a little bit at a time, you may get scumread for lurking. Even if you are not scumread for it, what's the fun in playing a game where multiple people are hardly participating?

Site Meta

Meta is the description of how people on Mafiascum like to play mafia. Things can be different on other online mafia sites, or if you play IRL, so it's good to know what's expected of you on this site. These aren't "rules", per se, but if you don't follow these guidelines it is likely things will go poorly for you on MS. Some examples are...

Random Voting Stage (RVS)

Games on MafiaScum almost always begin with what we call the Random Voting Stage (RVS). At this point in the game, we are in a low information game state (except the mafia, which know everyone’s alignment). As a way to provoke reaction, start a discussion, and try to determine alignment, people will usually vote for non-serious reasons. As the discussion progresses, we will eventually get the game moving and progress out of RVS.

Voting, E-x, and Hammers

E-x is a way to convey how far away a player is away from elimination. For example, you should always announce that you are putting someone at E-1 (1 vote away from an elimination) so that someone doesn’t come along and accidentally vote for that player's elimination. This also prevents Mafia-aligned players from coming along and placing the final vote to eliminate (“hammer”) and claiming ignorance about doing so. You may also see E-2 and E-3 (2 votes away from elimination and 3 votes away from elimination, respectively).

Before you hammer a player, state your intent to hammer (usually done in bold) and ask the player to claim their role. This is done to prevent power roles from being eliminated, and can sometimes get Mafia-aligned players to be caught (via counter claiming). It's best to then allow other players to react and discuss the claim before hammering.

Claiming Your Role

It is almost always best to not claim your role unless you are at E-1 and have been asked to claim as part of an “intent to hammer.” This is because, as a town power role (“PR”), if you out prematurely, you are likely to be night-killed (“NK’d”). As a Vanilla Townie (“VT”), claiming early helps the mafia team narrow down the setup and possible PR candidates. An exception to this would be if a mafia player claimed your role, claiming early to counter the false claim (“CC”) would out the mafia player, and would be a benefit to the town.

Do not fake claim a power role as town!

While it may help you avoid getting eliminated, you might cause a real PR to out themselves by counterclaiming - then the mafia will know who the PR is, and you will probably get eliminated for lying to town. Feel free to fake a claim as scum, though, if you think it would help.

ELo

ELo is the shortened representation of “Eliminate or Lose.” ELo in the Newbie Queue is when there are 3 remaining players, 2 of which are town and 1 is mafia; or when there are 5 remaining players, 3 of which are town and 2 are mafia. It is important in these situations that the town aligned players do not carelessly vote like is done during RVS or early days, as the mafia player(s) can organize and instantly provide the necessary votes to eliminate (“quickhammer”) and win the game.

Conclusion

Mafia is hard!

As town, it can be hard to figure things out, and stressful when people think you're scum.

That's okay!

Just share your thoughts on who you think is scum as they come to you, and don't be afraid to change your mind. As scum, it can be hard to lie convincingly, and stressful when people think you're scum. Don't let that scare you! Try to think of what you would post if you were town, and don't be afraid to "change your mind".

This is a game.

Have fun!

copy/paste with edits from the dead thread:

For Newbies: Now What?

If you had fun, I encourage you to sign up for another game! If you have less than five completed Newbie games on-site, you're allowed to head right back to the Newbie Queue and sign up for another game of this style right away. Alternatively, if you've played five newbie games or you're just looking for a new challenge, you can sign up for a game in one of the other queues! Most other queues will have two games taking sign-ups at any one time, so you'll need to look what games are available and post specifically which game you want to join. The queues (with links in the names) are...

Normal Queue:
Games that follow strict parameters of what is and isn't allowed in the game and are balanced for by a team of volunteers. These are often minis (13 players) or more (large), so it'll probably be a bigger table than what you experienced here. But normals are a great place to go if you're looking for setups that aren't too complex.
Open Queue:
Similar to the Normal Queue, but with open setups, like what you experienced in this game (newbie queue uses a semi-open setup). An open game just means you know what roles are going to appear in the game, or what games COULD appear in the game in a tight matrix like this game. Another great jumping-off point from newbie games.
Micro Queue:
Micros are games with 9 or fewer players, just like newbie games. If you liked the size of this game, the micro queue is a great place to look next. Be warned though, as long as the game has 9 or fewer players, these games could just be about anything as long as they're still mafia, though oftentimes the game mod will explain it a bit. They are often but not always theme games (explained below).
Mini Theme Queue:
Theme games have none of the constraints of normals. They are not necessarily balanced (though moderators usually try to balance their games, since otherwise they're not fun). Often times the game will be themed around a media property like a video game or a TV show, or an original work of fiction. Many of these games are role madness (meaning there are no vanilla townies) or have new and power roles. As a mini queue, games have had most 13 players.
Large Theme Queue:
Like the above, but with more than 13 players, often upwards of 20. These games take signups in their own threads in this forum. Though not always, large themes have a reputation for being on the far end of complexity and require a lot of dedication, since these games can go on for months.

You can join any game in any of these queues, as long as the game moderator doesn't put requirements on the game you don't fulfill (sometimes moderators will require that you've played games outside the newbie queue, for example).

Is there anything else to do on MafiaScum?

Yes! In fact, many old players who only play rarely or don't play mafia at all anymore are still a part of our community. In addition to forums for playing mafia, we have...

Mafia Discussion Forum:
For talking about mafia, whether it be drafting new setups or discussing strategy.
General Discussion Forum:
Where we discuss... anything that isn't mafia. A lot of the discussion actually happens in the Speakeasy subforum, which you can join via the Usergroups panel of the User Control Panel once you have 100 posts on the site. You can also join the Get To Known A Scummer (GTKAS) forum in the same way, which is where people have threads dedicated to helping others get to know them with the help of the GTKAS Moderator (me!). Also in this forum is the Newbie Introduction Thread, where you can introduce yourself to the community at large if you'd like!
Mish Mash:
This is where we play forum and board games.
Large Social Games:
Where people play things like online Survivor and Big Brother. You can find more info on it in that forum, I'm actually a newbie to that stuff myself.
Discord:
Info on our official discord server! A fairly new addition to the site (finally!). If you have discord, we encourage you to join up and meet people there!

If you have any other questions about this game, mafia in general, or the site at large, feel free to ask either here or by PM. I'm happy to help.

ignoring the fact that you have a partner is a perfectly valid strategy imo. it can work to great effect, like it did in this game, but there's a big risk involved too. players tend to think their partners are a lot more obvious when they

know

their alignment (this also happens in spoiled dead threads: it's called Graveyard Vision). blocking that out is difficult for many people. and if you're really not going to put any stock in the fact that you have a partner, you risk setting yourself up to buss them when it's not optimal to do so.
