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 have been assigned. Good luck to both teams!

So did we ever make a decision on the inspector rule? I don't care either way because I am not the inspector. Knowing my luck I am surprised Im not in the ne game where the inspector is gagged.

^^There is no rule, there is just an unspoken agreement amongst us all that nobody shall claim/reveal their role as inspector in the game, at least as far as I'm concerned. I guess the ref can correct me if I'm wrong.
for the sake of moving this game as fast as possible I'll cast the first vote, always susceptible to change. Yes, I'm still bitter over last game.
Ok I guess it is a general unspoken agreement amongst us and not a so called "rule". Either way i think just since I have been leading the attack against your rule I should continue the trend.

Please don't be offended I promise I have nothing against you personally

there is an unspoken ( i guess now its "spoken") agreement among players.....the inspector may strongly suggest/hint of his/her role, but may not officially declare it.....

For the sake of self preservation I might switch my vote. Hopefully you will also reconsider with this, Jen. I don't think either Jen or myself belong in a day 1 runoff. We're both big [over]thinkers on this game and provide a lot of input and discussion, something that's vital to the townspeople victory.
I'm gonna switch my vote to one of the consistently more quiet players of this game. Sorry HGH, I know you've got a busy life, but it is the first round of voting so all I can really go on to justify my decision is that you are generally always a quiet player.
Wolf & Strum and Jen & Bacon... I suspect one of these duos is up to some shenanigans.
I really don't think Jen or bacon are up to something just because they both voted for me. I think it was pretty clear Jen was gonna send a vote my way after i voted for her, a day 1 voting trend that even you followed suit in with your vote for NTRT.
And I can tell you first hand that wolf and I are not collaborating here. I think by now the mafia are smart enough to not stack their votes in the first round. I can't remember the last game I saw where even 2 people in the mafia have voted alongside each other right off the bat to start the game.
I'll switch my vote to Wof since Stum is no longer voting for me. I'm not with Bacon and I also don't really see any reason to accuse Strum & Wolf at this point. Wolf typically votes for someone who has already been voted for in the first round rather than someone randomly so it isn't unusual. I had every reason to vote for Strum since he voted me....just like now I have every reason to change my vote from Strum to Wolf.
