Basics of Mafia are that the town has hidden mafia members among them. The mafia members know who each other are, and none of the other players know who anyone else is, aside from themselves. Each day, everyone can discuss (in the game thread) who they think is a member of the mafia, and publicly vote to lynch them. They must get a majority vote to lynch. Once a majority is reached, you CANNOT take your vote back. Upon being killed, their role will be revealed. Every night everyone will return to their homes, and they can use their abilities (done by sending me a PM to me telling me who you're using your ability on.). The goal of the town is to kill off all the mafia members, along with the neutral killers. The goal of the mafia is to gain a majority in the town (so if two mafia members are left, and one of anyone else, mafia wins). Goal of the neutral killers is to kill everyone, and the goals of the neutral benign vary.
The following are the roles, along with their goals:
----------------------
Town - Kill all Mafia members and Killers
(Investigative) Sheriff - Can identify the alignment of one person every night (Town/Mafia/Killer/Neutral)
(Investigative) Investigator - Can investigate the role of one person every night (will be given two possible roles for the person).
(Investigative) Lookout - Can follow one person each night and find out who they visited.
(Other) Vigilante - Can kill one person each night, but can only kill up to two people. If both people killed are town alignment, the Vigilante will kill themselves.
(Other) Escort - Can block one person each night from using their ability.
(Other) Trapper - Can lay a trap in someone's house each night. Anyone visiting that house will become ensnared in the trap. The person caught in the trap will be announced as trapped the following day.
(Protector) Doctor - Can tend to one person each night. If that person is attacked, the Doctor will revive them.
(Protector) Bodyguard - Can protect one person each night. If that person is attacked, the bodyguard and attacker will both be killed.
Mafia - Take over the town (become the majority)
Godfather - Leader of the Mafia. Can kill one person each night. Is immune to Sheriff's ability (when investigated I will pick a random townsperson class and claim he's it).
Blackmailer - Each night, they can prevent one person from talking the following day.
Consort - Can block one person each night from using their ability.
Cleaner - Can prevent the ability of one person being revealed each night.
Stalker - Can stalk one person each night, discovering their exact role.
Neutral (Killer) - Kill everyone
Serial Killer - Can kill one person each night. Can also leave a note behind with the corpse.
Copy Cat - Can gain the ability of one person each night. The will not be told the person's role, they will only gain their ability. Cannot gain neutral abilities. Can only use one ability per night.
Neutral (Benign) - Goal Varies
Jester - Can annoy one person each night. Goal is to be publicly executed.
Survivor - Can wear a protective vest at night to prevent their own death. Can only wear the vest 3 times. Goal is to survive until the end of the game (regardless if mafia or town wins).
------------------
You'll notice that the roles in the town all have categories in front of them, that's because at the start of the game I'll be posting a role list that looks something like this:
Sheriff
Doctor
Random Investigative
Random Other
Random Protector
Random Town
Godfather
Random Mafia
Random Neutral Killer
Random Neutral Benign
So in a typical game with 10 people, these would be the roles. Here, there are 6 Town, 2 Mafia, and 2 Neutral. This would give you an idea of what roles are in the game, allowing you to make more informative decisions.
Rules are pretty simple. Apart from Mafia members, there are no PMs allowed between players. The only person you can contact outside of the thread, is myself. You also need to obey any restrictions or abilities that are used against you (so if you're blackmailed, you can't talk in the thread until the day phase is over).
I'm aiming for at least eight people. Ideally we'd get ten. If we get more all the better. If there are any questions or anything, let me know, otherwise just let me know if you're interested. If this goes over well, I'll continue to make games like this in the future.
Also you can't choose your role, you're given one randomly.
REMEMBER, you cannot talk in the night phase, and the night phase only ends when everyone PMs me their turns. You may discuss who to lynch in the day phase(and, if you're stupid enough to do this, you can reveal your role, but you'll usually get killed by doing this.), discuss what information you've gathered to everyone, and vote to skip the day phase if no one wants to lynch anyone.
If you are wondering, I don't get a role, I'm the gamemaster. |

| We only got one joiner so far. Once we get enough people, I'll PM everyone their roles, and make the thread to actually play instead of signing up. |

| IF anything I would want to be a Mafia or Serial killer, not a citizen or something. I like having action roles. |

| There is no citizen role. Every person will get a role with a special ability. |

| Llama, Bebi, Creative, anyone! Just join, this is agonizingly boring to wait for more people, as my brain-juices are flowing. |

| Sign me up good sir; I've heard of a game like this before, but it wasn't as big and varied as this. |

| Oh, I forgot to mention that if the Jester succeeds in being publicly executed, I PM him everyone's role and his cackling insane ghost may kill one person the night after his execution. |

| Wait a bit until somewhere at 4. Sometimes other players come out until then. |
