"In the peaceful Online Server of FK Gaming, a dark presence is about to make itself known. For years, the family based crime organization known as the Mafia has been establishing itself in the foundation of the community. Until now, the naive citizens have been unaware of the evil among them. Tonight, however, the Mafia makes its move. Tonight, someone will die, and until the Mafia has eliminated all opposition, the innocent will continue to die. Unless, of course, the Mafia is destroyed first..."
WHAT
The introduction above is an introduction to the game of MAFIA. Sometimes known as Werewolf, sometimes known as Town of Salem, it is a parlour game that has an informed, malevolent minority (the MAFIA or SCUM) and an uninformed, benevolent majority (the TOWN). The objective of the MAFIA is to outnumber the TOWN, thereby winning the game. The objective of the TOWN is to eliminate all of the MAFIA by removing them from the game via vote. The game additionally is ran by a GM.
HOW
The game is split into two phases: DAY and NIGHT.
In each DAY, all of the players discuss openly and attempt to reach a consensus on someone to 'Lynch', thusly removing that player from the game. When a majority of votes (EG: 5 votes in 9, 3 votes in 5 etc) is reached in the DAY, the GM will lock votes and the player will be eliminated from the game. All discussion stops, and the role of the eliminated player is exposed.
In the NIGHT, there are various roles that can take actions. the MAFIA can agree on someone to be murdered in the night. That player, once the MAFIA have decided who to kill, is removed from the game and is no longer allowed to speak. Their role is exposed to everyone, and another DAY phase begins.
I will GM game one at least, and we have several people who are happy to volunteer to GM as well. It promises to be a good evening of intrigue, pointing fingers at people and breaking friendships. I'll do setups based on the amount of people who RSVP, and due to limitations of TTS I'll be restricting RSVPs to 9.
If you would like to read up on the game of Mafia, this is a list of articles that cover theory. A lot of it is more specifically targetted at Forum-based mafia, but general principles and tells can often translate very well. (https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Category:Theory)
