Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
In the small, friendly music community of Bonnaroo, a crafty Mafia have infiltrated the population. Every night these Mafiosi decide amongst themselves who to ruthlessly assassinate. At the beginning of each morning, people learn that one of their own has been killed.
Every day, the population gathers to discuss whom they think is a member of the Mafia. There is a vote, and the one with the majority is executed. The Townspeople must do this in order to clean Bonnaroo of the Mafia and restore its peaceful vibe. However, if the Mafia are able, through disrupting the votes and performing their assassinations, to eliminate Townspeople to the point that they are in the majority, they will rule Bonnaroo forever. Thus, the Townspeople's great hope is the Inspector. This is a secret figure, known only to him or herself, that has inside information on the identity of the Mafiosi. S/he can covertly use this information to influence the votes towards the Mafiosi. But s/he better watch his/her step, because if the Mafia gets wind it will be lights out. Good luck.
----------------------
Rules:
1) The referee randomly chooses from the 11 players three Mafiosi and one Inspector. All the rest are Townspeople. Each person is informed of their part via PM, and are not allowed to share that information with each other except in this thread, the official Mafia game thread. The Mafia are informed of one another's identity, and they are allowed to converse among themselves via PM.
2) The Inspector is informed of his/her part, and also of the identity of one randomly chosen Mafia player.
3) Each day a vote is held for the player to be eliminated. For online play, deliberation and voting is combined; thus, you can vote and explain yourself in the same post. Every player is free to change their vote at any point up until the last vote is in and the Ref declares that voting is closed. The ref will then post the final tally, and announce which player is eliminated and how they died. Then will begin the following night.
4) During the night the Mafia decide on the player they want to eliminate (assassinate), and inform the ref via PM. Once the ref receives this info, it is posted here in the thread, the player is eliminated, and the following day begins.
5) Likewise during the night the Inspector will PM the ref and guess one person who is the Mafia. The ref will respond with a 'yes' or 'no'.
6) Play continues until all the Mafia have been killed (Townspeople win), or the Mafia outnumber the Townspeople (Mafia win).
7) It will not be revealed, until the end of the game, when a Mafia player or the Inspector have been eliminated.
8) Players who have been eliminated are still welcome to post in this thread, but are asked to not say anything leading to any knowledge, suspicions or opinions you might have.
9) It is recommended, though not required, that players submit death stories to the referee for the deaths chosen by their roles. Mafia and Vigilante write their own Nighttime whack stories; a Townsperson writes Daytime voted-off stories.
10) AKA The Kdogg Rule: There will be no sharing of role PM's inside the thread or outside for the purpose of disclosing your role to another player. This also goes for password sharing. Common sense should be used, no discussion of your roles, except between the mafia, outside the thread- EVER.
11) Voting will be open for 36 hours each round, or until everyone has cast their vote - whichever comes first. Voting will never follow the 36-hour rule on the weekends. I will only ever close voting on a Saturday or Sunday if everyone has cast their vote already. If you haven't voted by that time, your vote will not be counted. If you miss two votes, you are out of the game regardless of how good your reason is. When it is decided that you are out, you will be killed off during the day alongside whoever would have been killed by vote.
Roles will be assigned and PM'd momentarily. Good luck to both teams!

Two opposing forces vie for supremacy.... Armed with only their personalities and posts, these wandering souls battle to the death....The townsfolk quiver in fear like rabbits, gathering the strength needed to come on top.....As the mafia slither and wallow in their own indecency and lies, molding the game like the Oligarchs who own our souls. Go TOWNSFOLK!!!
I am changing my vote to Roo! Why wouldn't I vote for the person who voted for me? Seriously? I am voting for you not only because you voted for me but also because pointing fingers this early looks suspicious. Of course mafia is trying to start taking the focus on them already this early in the game by pointing fingers in the round that everyone knows is random voting, for the townspeople, at least.

jen>bek>roo
im not saying you are mafia. i just thought the quickness of her vote and then yours right after the other, what kdogg would call reciprocal voting, is a little suspicious. you're probably innocent. but my gut reaction is that you are the most likely mafia right now, so i changed my vote, regarless of whether it makes me look guilty in your eyes. im innocent,

If that is your reasoning then you and Kel should be just as suspicious for reciprocal voting. Just because I happened to log in around the same time as Bek means we are guilty? I can't help it if I happened to be online the same time as her and post near the same time.
I am seriously convinced that you are mafia. I know I am innocent and if I get voted off it will be a wasted vote and we will be off to a bad start. I hope everyone else believes me on this. If for some reason it is a run-off between me and Roo and I get voted off I would urge the townspeople to vote off Roo next because I really don't trust him this round. Of course, I'm just going with my gut....we could both be innocent since there is not really a way of knowing this early....in that case the mafia has us right in their hands already with two innocents already leading the votes. I'm still sticking to my vote for Roo.
Also... EAP I recall someone pointing out last game that you like to vote for HGH. Why the change, if you don't mind me asking...
Not at alllllllll
When I voted everyone was at one vote (including hgh). I do usually like to vote for her but I am a wimp and don't like being the deciding vote and that would've put her at 2. Plus I am pissed bc once again I get to be stupid townsperson and they say its random, but the same people are ALWAYS mafia. That's why I chose higgi. But who knows.

Yeah but that is only fun role I've had. This is my sixth game and I've never been mafia, yet some people have 2 or 3 times. Sorry I didn't mean to seem complainy.
As per rule #11, if Trillbill hasn’t voted by 9pm EST tonight, his vote will not be counted and we will enter a run-off between Jenkazoo and Rooconteur (we’ve all played Mafia before, so I won’t bother explaining the concept of a run-off).
If Trillbill (or any other player, for that matter) misses a second round of voting, he will be eliminated from the game in addition to whichever player receives the most votes. Sorry Trill, but we’ve gotta keep things moving around here. This is a variation on a rule from previous rounds, where an inactive player would be eliminated INSTEAD of whoever received the most votes. I just think it’s more fair this way, but if enough people disagree, I will gladly revert to the old method.
There are less posts to catch up on without you kdogg! I kind of miss Kel's and Kdogg's back and forth arguing from last round, I have been bored at work all day with nothing to do
So it looksl like I'm in the run-off. All I can say at this point is to read what I said earlier. If you agree with me then vote off Roo. If ya'll vote me off it will be a vote for an innocent. I promise you all that I am a townsperson.
