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. 9a) Though any suggestions and recommendations are welcome
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.
- I just started the thread for now. I will PM everyone with the roles asap.
- This was stuck in my head.
I'm not entirely sure how a James Bond themed game would work. Normally I would have gone with some gangsta rap inspired insanity.
- Speaking of which, if anyone can find the scene in Empire where Fat Joe's character gets his brains blown out on a globe with a shotgun blast, that'd be awesome for a death scene.
I have sent out PMs to the Inspector and the Mafia. If you are reading this and haven't got a PM yet (I'm heading out soon, be back later)... you'd be a townie.
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.
I am assuming that Kiko is snakeface? You used Kiko in the tally, but SF in the count??
Phi, I think I would rather shake things up as opposed to exchanging votes . . . thanks for thinking of me though

According to the lineup (and their profiles) snakeface and kiko are different people. Also, kiko's profile says that he hasn't been on inforoo since June 6.

Yeah, its hard to say with Bonnaroo in the middle of the time, and it looks from his recent posts like he sometimes goes stretches without posting (although I don't know if he logged in in between them), but we probably need to consider this given how long its been since he last logged in.
There are a few options.
If anybody knows kiko outside of inforoo, we could try to get a message to him to see if he still wants to play.
Or we could either vote to kill him off or play out the first day and expel him from the game under Rule 11 if he doesn't show up by Day 2. It has been discussed before, I think, that the rule kind of creates a problem because it says that the person goes alongside the person voted off, which ends up messing up the numbers in the game. And both of these arguably skew the game a little bit by eliminating the player without any sort of information as to what his role was.
Or if someone is willing to take his place, we can just substitute that person in. If we do it now, it doesn't disrupt the game play that much.
I don't. How bout an intro of some sort? Have you played before? Have you read the rules? Why are you voting for me?
Well. I'm Andrew. I'm from Murfreesboro Tennessee. '13 was my third Roo. I'm a huge MMJ fan, as well as a huge David Bowie fan. I have not played before, but I read the rules. I was only voting for you because you didn't have any votes yet, and I felt like it was too early to make an enemy, especially since nobody had really targeted anybody yet. There wasn't a particular reason I suppose. No hard feelings

hi Andrew. just wanted to give you a quick pro tip: this game is nothing but hard feelings
(kidding but I said that my last game, or "it's not personal", and this game can get crazy. by the end you will mistrust/hate/suspect everyone. unless you are mafia, of course.)

QFT. This game will seriously mess with your judgement, and you will definitely mistrust everyone and everything by the end, but it is so addicting you will want to come back!
