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!!
Introduction 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) AKA The Bek Rule: 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 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!

Interesting. You & I discussed and agreed upon going a different route from our usual reciprocal votes before this game was fully enrolled. Given that you said you were in favor of said alternative, you know I gotta ask you what gives with this. Especially since we've had roles assigned since we had that discussion.
At least I'm sticking with what I thought we had agreed on.

Well kdogg, if you're willing to vote off a townie because you're pissed off about an Internet game that happened days ago, that's your prerogative. But you're just making life more difficult for everyone in the long run. Unless of course you're mafia and then I suppose it would be a great idea to keep your vote for me. I'm gonna act my age and not my IQ and try to make an educated guess instead of throwing an innocent under the bus.

Pure grudge vote: kdogg >>> Hippie
You are absolutely right.... I can't believe I forgot about that!
Pure grudge vote #2: bek>>>kdogg>>>hippie
Also, (before she blows her top) might I please add that a reciprocal vote for someone in the first round is not an educated guess. Sorry love.
You might get mad at us for "voting off a townie" but you were a townie last time and it did not help our cause, did it? I mean.... I can't remember... ???

y'all can hold a grudge all you want. my reciprocal vote is a lot less harmful than a grudge vote. and i could easily change my vote to someone else who has more votes later, but it doesn't make sense to change my vote before i know the final count. so right now, a reciprocal vote IS the most educated guess i can make. Sorry sweetie pie

oh, and while we're recapping last game, i'd like to point out that in the first round i was one of the only people who continually voted wolf...who was a mafia person. and not only that, he was the only mafia name bacon knew, and yet bacon made continual efforts to imply he was innocent for whatever silly reason.
and if i recall correctly, and i do, you weren't much help to us considering you barely posted, and when you did you thought i was mafia. so, neither one of us did so hot, and yet i'm the one being persecuted. AWESOME PLAN GUYS.
i'm gonna go ahead and vote for myself since this game is only going to be dirty again. i'm not up for dealing with the condescension and grudge votes. it makes the game less fun, and i had enough of it last round.
and if i recall correctly, and i do, you weren't much help to us considering you barely posted, and when you did you thought i was mafia.
Funny that you say that because I seem to recall that I delivered the final blow to wolf when I switched my vote from kdogg to wolf which is why you later aided in voting me off.

Left to Vote Fightforyourmind Jen HandGunHipster
I changed my vote to you so if you vote for yourself you have four votes, not three... just sayin'. I refuse to be the center of a swirl of drama with you again this game which to me, is as good of reason as any to vote for you. Kel, if you do not want to play a catty game, keep your vote for hippie.... that simple.
Umm, FYI this is mafia 32 folks. New game, new players, new roles, were a little older and wiser than last game so let's move on; if not than why did y'all sign up again? There are other threads, I'm sure, that are more suited for lunchroom friends to hold grudges and be in the "in" crowd. I swear if this continues I am coming to each one of your houses to have a little commin to Jesus meeting and give you a hug til you cheer up
edit: this video should help cheer everyone up, just watch it all and tell me different!!!

actually, i'm not the one starting drama this game. you and kdogg are so hellbent on getting revenge over some stupid internet game that you're willing to sacrifice actually playing the game. in fact, you and kdogg had obviously already planned on voting me off regardless of my role. that's a really good plan for the rest of the townies, isn't it? i think you and kdogg are the ones who really need to grow up and stop the bickering. i didn't say a single word about anything this round, and yet you're telling me i'm the center of drama? maybe if everyone stfu and acted their age this game could be a lot more fun to play.
we had a chance to put the last round behind us, and you and kdogg are just making sure it's going to continually be an issue. so maybe you should own up to your own actions and realize you and kdogg are the ones causing the issues now.
and the vote tally doesn't really matter because i quit. i'm sure eap would like to take my spot.
Wow why does everyone get so emotionally invested in this game. It is, of course, just a game.
This kinda reminds me of when a bunch of kids play a board game and all decide to team up against one other kid. Then the other kid leaves and takes their game with them, ruining it for everyone else.
I normally like you Hippie, but come on grudge votes are pretty common in this game it's not a good reason to quit.
How about we all grow up just a little, and play this game. If you would like to vote for someone you are mad at, please do so. Furthermore, if you would like to reciprocate a vote for someone you are mad at, also, please do so. I think it's just a little bit ridiculous that we have such problems against each other on an internet forum... A Bonnaroo internet forum nonetheless. Where's all the peace and love and Leno like that?!! ???

Well, since this game is going to hell in a hand basket, I'm going to chime in with a question.
Mike D, what has the Footloose video got to do with all this? I am confused about it's significance here.
It cheers folks up when we are down. Just think of it as a smiley movie. Its a catchy tune and you are prolly lying if you didn't dance a little in your chair or in your head. If you did either of these or at least cracked a smile, then you are in a better mood than you were prior to watching it. The morale of this game took a nose dive much earlier than normal and I am trying to combat this We need to "Kick off the Sunday shoes" and relax and have fun with this, not beat ourselves up

Soooo, does anybody else think it's strange that I voted for Jen around 12:30 yesterday afternoon, and she hasn't given me a reciprocal vote (or said anything at all), despite having signed on a couple of times since then?
