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 player is informed of their role via PM, and are not allowed to share that information with one another except in the official Mafia game thread. The Mafia are informed of one another's identity, and they are allowed to converse among themselves via PM. To put it plainly: a) If you are not a member of the mafia, do not discuss the mafia game outside the mafia thread with any other player or with any non-player who might discuss the game with a player. b) If you are a member of the mafia, you may discuss the game freely among your fellow mafia only. Do not discuss the game outside of this thread with any non-mafia player.
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 Referee 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 Referee via PM. Once the Referee 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 Referee and guess one player's Mafia status. The Referee will respond with a 'yes' or 'no' answer.
6) Play continues until all the Mafia have been killed (Townspeople win), or the Mafia outnumber the Townspeople (Mafia win).
7) Player roles will not be revealed until the game has concluded.
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) I'll do the death stories/videos.
10) AKA The kdogg Rule: There will be no sharing of role PMs 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 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. The Referee will only ever close voting on a Saturday or Sunday if all players have already cast their vote. If a player has not voted by that time, their vote will not be counted. If a player misses two votes, they are out of the game regardless of how good your reason is. When it is decided that a player is out, they will be killed off during the day alongside whoever would have been killed by vote. a) If the Inspector has not made a guess within 36 hours during a Night round, the Inspector will forfeit that guess. b) If the Mafia have not reported a whack victim within 36 hours during a Night round, the Mafia will forfeit that whack and the Townspeople will receive another round of voting during that Night round to offset the missed whack.
12) The Referee shall neither answer an Inspector's inquiry nor execute a Mafia's chosen victim until after having received both the Inspector's inquiry and the Mafia's chosen victim. If the Inspector is the victim, the Inspector is not owed an answer from the Referee. The Referee shall only accept victim names from living Mafia players.
13) AKA The Bacon Rule: The bigger the whiner, the smaller the wiener.
NEW RULE, because I can: If i see anyone editing posts, I will find you, and break your fingers with a drywall hammer.
Players Noage Mike D NBF Duddits EAP Lowerdeck SFA krunchykat Mr. Belgian Manders Scrog Bonzai
Also, I will be keeping track of this game, and all of the work required of me, in an excel spreadsheet. Once the game concludes, i will make this spreadsheet available to anyone interested, incase there are any questions.
Day 1 begins NOW, and will not end until Noon CST Monday, Oct 3rd, or later if necessary.
I'm not voting yet as I am still reading up on past Mafia games (I wouldn't have been done by now but I just read all 41 pages of the Moog thread!).. Be back soon....
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

jhammett, can we also have a rule that no one is to use the like/dislike buttons while the game is ongoing? We talked a bit about it after last game, and I think it would be a good idea to make it official.

NBF >>> Mr. Belgian Manders
This is definitely an interesting idea. I hadn't considered what the like/dislike might do to Mafia. It can be used effective as a method to divert attention or mislead players, which certainly isn't against the rules. On the other hand, an inspector who has died could use the like / dislike as a way to communicate beyond the grave, which is explicitly against the rules. I feel like the bad could very easily outweigh the good here, and I feel like we should adopt this idea as an official rule. I am going to type the rule's language out to put it on paper, and unless anyone objects, with compelling reasons not to adopt, the rule will become official effective immediately.
NEW RULE, PLEASE READ:
All players, alive and dead, involved in a game of mafia are REQUIRED to abstain from using the like and dislike features of the forum inside of the mafia game thread while the game is still in progress. Using the like and dislike buttons during the game should be considered a flagrant disregard of the official rules, and MAY result in the player being disqualified from the game, or his / her partners (known or unknown) being forced to forfeit the game. The referee will use his or her best judgment to deal out the appropriate punishment.
If a player sees another player using the like or dislike buttons inside of an official mafia thread, the player is urged not to contact the guilty party directly, but rather to contact the referee immediately, either by PM or email, and report the offense. Taking a screenshot of the post that has been 'liked' or 'disliked', with the post expanded to show which username(s) committed the offense, and submitting it as evidence to the referee would also be very helpful.
If any player sees any reason why this rule should not be adopted, please speak up immediately.

Can someone explain null to me? I know the word in general, but how does it work in this game? Is it possible to vote for no one, or is it some sort of place holder??

I hadn't realized someone had already partnered up with BelgianGuy, so I dropped my vote until I had more time to figure out what's going on.
Now the only people without partners are myself and noage. So I voted noage, except he voted MikeD. So then MikeD can vote for me, three person partnering?
And then Scrog will call me Mafia again for "acting suspicious", and before you know it I'll get six votes and killed off.
