Game Play In the small, friendly music community of Bonnaroo, a crafty Mafia have infiltrated the population.
Every day, the population (all live players) gather 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.
Every night the Mafiosi decide amongst themselves who to ruthlessly assassinate. At the beginning of each morning, people learn that one of their own has been killed.
Through disrupting the votes and performing their assassinations, the Mafia will try to eliminate Townspeople to the point that they are in the majority and 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. The inspector may at any time reveal their identity to the players within the thread. (see game play warnings above).
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 Night portion of the round.
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 out number 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. This includes use of the Like/Dislike feature.
9) The ref will 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.
The first rays of sunrise sparkle like diamonds on the crisp, blue Caribbean water as the newest port awakens from another lazy tropical evening. There is hope in the air for a bright new future filled with prosperity and happiness here in the new world. In a few short weeks’ time, the fabled Spanish Treasure fleet will be stopping in the harbor for the first time, trading goods from Europe for sugar and tobacco. New citizens arrive every day on sloops and brigs looking for a home here in this, the newest, brightest jewel of the Spanish Main.
But while hope springs eternal in the hearts of the townies, a foul darkness has begun to seep in as well. Like storm clouds on the horizon or the sickly damp of the jungle, evil has crept onto our fair island. The town now balances on the blade of a knife. Should this evil continue to grow unabated, this town will turn into a pirate cesspool many times worse than the infamous Tortuga. The Spanish Monarchy has sent help, but what is 1 brave inspector captain to do against the notorious Pirates of the Caribbean? No, hope for the future falls squarely on the seven virtuous captains who have settled this port. They must prevail against the 3 pirate captains or hope will be lost forever.
Business goes about as normal, but the captains must remain vigilant at all times, for evil could lurk in the most innocent of hearts. Who will be a savior, and who is a villain? Is it the Baroness EAP, newly arrived from Europe, or the Governor of Havana’s Daughter, LLL? Maybe it is one of the disgraced captains of the Spanish fleet, Boneroo, Quacker, Cokes, or Mike D? Or is it the noted Explorer Odysseus, with his many oared ship? Has greed supplanted reason in the famed traders of Hakuna, Bacon, or Jimmyroo? Or could it possibly be the mysterious man from the Orient, Phi?
Only time will tell, but the town must act fast, or the entire Spanish Empire will suffer. Fair winds and following seas to the brave souls who would battle the pirate scourge! You will need it as the dawn breaks on Day 1…
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Oh shit, I read that backwards. Thought Bacon had voted EAP. Sorry, Viking, I love you being Ref, but the parantheses of the voters after the votee....oye. Let me try someone else.

LLL>>>Boneroo.
I think it helps once VPs are gone, but if you all disagree, I can remove them.
Guess I'll kick things off. Since SFA has been mine lately and is out this one, LLL vps?
Hakuna >> LLL
I'm going to try no VP's this time. I just want to give it a try and see if it makes a difference on how I play or see the game. I haven't been able to play in awhile, and SFA was always my VP too, may as well try something new

It may. I need to get back into the habit of fully reading posts on Inforoo, and not just skimming them anyway.

Fair enough, if SFA had played I probably wouldn't even have gone for it since it has bit me in the ass the last few games.
I have played many games of mafia in other places, and I must say, you guys have the absolute weirdest rules I have ever encountered.
Mandatory voting is kind of hilarious, and day and night phases being of equal length is, in my experience, silly.
That said, I will do my best.
Mandatory voting ensures people are at least putting out the minimum of effort. Has to be there to ensure people are still playing, and to move the game along.
As for day and night, they are rarely the same length. Typically Day last more than 36 hours, especially the first 2, and night is over within 12. However, for strategic reasons, they are listed as the same length. People have missed sending PMs to the ref even with that extended time, so it is a double edged sword.
Other than that, like Bonnaroo, Inforoo is absolutely a weird place!

It's a whole new Mafia game. I feel like I'm going commando or something.

Ha-ha! I think disgraced captain is a step up. I like this game. No LD to rely on for a VP. I'll pick the one most likely to exceed. Quacker>>> @ntellier85
Damnit, I just clicked on quackers tag of my name and came to this thread and insta voted EAP. Hadnt read up yet. O'well, i know its a stack, aint even mad brah.
