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.
12) Run-off Retention Rule: When an initial vote turns into a run-off vote, players' votes for run-off candidates will carry over from the initial vote into the run-off. This is to expedite the run-off process. Players may change their vote during the run-off, so long as voting remains open.
13) Strum owes kdogg a case of beer of kdogg's choosing, a promise which shall be fulfilled the next time kdogg is in the state of Virginia.
Clearly, you mis-underestimated me. Feels good to finally have this underway.

While I'm at it... despite the rules, if everyone votes tomorrow, I will close voting in the wee hours of Saturday morning when I return from work and seeing a friend's band's show. Otherwise, with my schedule the vote-closing window closes after 2pm Central tomorrow, and I feel that to be premature. I presume that nobody's fate will be at stake, since the first vote of the game usually becomes a run-off. I will not close any vote which seals a player's fate this weekend, and do not anticipate having similar situations on upcoming weekends once the game is moving. Call it referee's discretion.

I guess I'll vote for Sal... I mean it only seems right. While I have missed him being around, I simply feel more familiar with everyone elses playing styles. It's as strategical as it gets round 1

I am a bit confused right now. Its is common custom when someone votes for you in the first round to respond by voting for them initially at least even if you intend to change said vote latter. Jack responded to Sal voting for him by voting for Swamp Witch. I don't quite know what to make of this. I would say Jack probably has some inside information. Either way I think that makes Swampy a good candidate for mafia.

Baconus66>>>SwampWitch
I get that there is some logic to what you are saying, but I'm not mafia.
I thought it was an odd move on Jack's part, too. I was going to let it go for now because I was guessing he voted for me so as not to be someone's second vote early on in the first round.
Since I am now the only one with 2 votes, I'm going to switch mine.
Swamp Witch >>> Bacon (for giving me a second vote)

In all fairness, I don't have any inside info. I'm just an ordinary townsperson. It might make sense for me to vote for Salamander because he voted for me, but I don't vote that way. I generally don't reciprocate votes just because someone voted for me; I have to believe that they're truly mafia. Salamander doesn't seem to be acting like a typical mafia player... yet. In fact, no one is at this point. Now, I was the inspector before KDogg re-assigned the roles. But now I don't have any inside info.

Ding ding ding!
My vote for Swamp Witch was random, as they always are in the first round. But I also chose to vote for someone without any votes so it didn't seem like I was aligning myself with any other player.
And for the record, ITrainMonkeys and I are not the same person. He was offering to create signature images earlier in the year and he made that one for me. That's why it's on his Flickr account.
