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.
Alright, so we're gonna try this again and with Linana subbing for Kiko. Roles are the same as in the last game. Voting starts from scratch, so whatever happened in the other thread doesn't count here.
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.

Well Damn, Jimmy using my own sound logic against me, HOW DARE YOU SIR!?
But alas, the gig is up. Jimmy caught me and only needed one page and two quotes.. Everyone should change their votes and vote me out, and be happy that you got rid of a mafia member day one. Also whoever doesn't change their vote to me is obviously my fellow mafia and should be your immediate targets!

Ref's Notes - Voting still open, it's day one, I wouldn't be surprised if the deadline is Friday or this weekend sometime - I need a new job. Anyone wanna help a brotha out?
It's been almost a day since a two person runoff was created, and really no activity at all. Right after that happened, Bogart put his vote on Linana instead of putting a 3rd person into the runoff. I think it's pretty much accepted that a 3 person runoff is better for the first round of voting (Bogart has been playing long enough here to see that discussion fleshed out). Maybe he is protecting someone? Ody, Phi, Mike D, NBF all had a vote already and could have been made a 3rd by Bogart. The fact that all of them are veteran players makes me think one of them is probably mafia (since I'm not, you gotta think there is at least one veteran mafia). Either way, I think the quietness around hear makes for a preferable runoff for the Mafia and Bogart's vote is hurting the town more than helping.
Jimmy >> Bogart
I could see where your coming from Jimmy. If I had to guess though bogart would just say that he voted for Linana because she voted for him which does make sense since its the first day.
Tejas > Snakeface > Jimmyroo > Ody
Two reasons I changed my vote
1) Jimmy does have a point in the fact that Bogarts move to play it safe does not help the town (instead of getting a 3 person runoff he votes for his VP)
2) I voted for Ody b/c out of the 4 people jimmy mentioned (Ody, Mike D, Phi, NBF) Ody seemed the most logical to me. Phi voted for Mike D and I know Mafia use that tactic day 1 to create a kind of distancing move but I think veteran players know that really doesn't work later in the game. NBF really has not done anything suspicious (although its only day 1). However, ody has not casted a voted even though he was online 16 hours ago.. So just based off of that I voted for Ody
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.
Jimmy, can't argue against that logic other than I voted for her because she voted for me, also I tend to not stack until the runoff.
Full disclosure to everyone. I wasn't really thinking when I signed up for this, I thought we were going to play before Roo and then when it got pushed back I didn't think it would be pushed back again. I am going to be out of town from July 3 - 13, in which I will be in Seattle. I will not have access to a phone from July 3rd to around the 8th (will be on the top of mount Rainier), and access from the 8th to 13th will be limited at best. I apoligize to the townies and I admit I should have thought this out more. I would say vote me out but I don't want to hurt the townies chance of winning. That being said if you guys want to vote me out I completely understand and will put a vote on myself.
Yeah, I'm starting to think this game was not meant to be.
I'm starting to agree with this. With the game being pushed back on starting, time management isn't the easiest. I am also going to be gone from the 1-5 of July, and not so sure how my reception is going to be mobile in BFMissouri.

Ref's Notes - Voting still open, it's day one, deadline maybe Saturday?
I had a feeling this may happen, keeping the same players since the signups before Roo. I would like to see this go on, but if we are considering putting it on hold, what about cutting the number of players down and going from there?
1) I do have plans from the 3-7 of July, but I'll be close to computer access most of those days so it shouldn't be too big of a deal. 2) I'm not going to go back and check but someone changed their vote on the last page, citing I had been on 16 hours ago. I just leave Inforoo up in the background, so that might be a little deceiving in the future, but this time I did delay my vote. Normally I just throw a vote up in the first round and don't think to much about it, which normally ends in me changing around my vote, so I wanted to try a different approach this time. Also I haven't played the last couple games so I'm trying to get back in the groove.
Ody>>Jimmy
3) I don't like him being so sure that a 3 person runoff is better. I've heard arguments for all sorts of angles, and honestly it doesn't seem to make a difference either way (to me at least). But the move to Bogart and sounding so sure that Bogart made that move to protect someone seems fishy to me.

I'm still in either way. I have a couple of possible trips coming up but I always have my phone, since, as previously mentioned/confessed, it's pretty much my grown-up version of a security blanket.

also, not sure if this is truly a good indication you are a townie or simply very clever mafiaspeak (tend to lean toward the former, FWIW), but props on the mountain scaling. that's impressive.
I'll be around July 4th but will definitely be MIA for Forecastle that Fri-Mon. I'll do my best to check in from my phone though and at least vote and not hold up the game.
