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!!
1) The Referee randomly chooses from the 11 players three Mafiosi and one Inspector. The remaining 7 players 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 privately. 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-player or player that is not mafia.
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) Voting will begin when the Referee creates the new Mafia thread and has tagged each of the players in that game to notify the players the game has begun. Voting will be open for 36 hours each round, or until everyone has cast their vote - whichever comes first.
a) The Referee will post a planned vote closing date/time/time zone for each round. Additional time may be given by the Referee to allow for continued discussion. Players have the right to request the Referee to consider an extension in the thread or via PM. Voting will not follow the 36-hour rule on the weekends. The Referee will only close voting on a Saturday or Sunday if all players have cast their vote and the Referee has posted his/her intention to close the round on the weekend prior to the weekend. The weekend is defined as Friday 5 pm CST though Monday 7 am CST. The Referee will not close a round prior to the planned end date/time unless all of the voting players that are not in danger of being lynched (no votes cast against them) lock their votes.
b) Voting is cast by players stating their Inforoo name followed by the Inforoo name of the player they are voting for: ex> Player1 >> Player2.
c) Players may Not change their Inforoo name after the Referee has created the new Mafia thread announcing the players until the game has completed when the Referee posts the winning team and the players roles.
d) A player may choose to vote 'null' as a temporary vote place-holder by stating this vote in the same manner as a traditional vote. If the player does not replace the Null vote by the close of the round, this will count as a missed vote for the player.
e) If votes are tied when the round closes, an additional 36 hour round will start. This is referred to as a Run-Off in the game. Votes for players in the runoff are carried over, other votes are reset. Once the runoff has begun, players that voted for the players in the runoff may change their votes IE once the runoff is established, players are not locked to their initial vote.
f) If a player has not voted before voting closes, their vote will not be counted. A missed vote entering a run-off will be treated the same as a missed vote to end the round. When a player misses a vote, the Referee will specifically post within the Mafia thread stating "Player X has missed 1 vote.
g) A single day in game play can include several vote closings. A missed vote in any rounds of a day count as a missed vote. If a player misses two votes, not two days, they are out of the game regardless of how good the reason. A second missed vote will result in Player X's 'auto-lynch'". When the Referee declares a player as having missed two votes that player will be declared the day kill. Voting will cease, the two-vote miss player is dead, and the Night round will begin. The removed player will also be suspended from participating in the following game.
4) 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 Referee declares that voting is closed. The Referee will then post the final tally, announce which player is eliminated and how they died.
5) 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.
6) 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.
7) 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.
8) Nights will last 18 hours. Nights do not follow the weekend rule and will end once the 18 hours are completed unless extended by the referee. a) If the Inspector has not made a guess within 18 hours during a Night round, the Inspector will forfeit that guess. b) If the Mafia have not reported a whack victim within 18 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.
9) Play continues until all the Mafia have been killed (Townspeople win), or the Mafia out number the Townspeople (Mafia win).
10) The Like Rule: Players may not "Like" another players post either alive or dead.
11) Player roles will not be revealed by the Referee until the game has concluded.
12) AKA The Bek Rule: Players who have been eliminated are still welcome to post in this thread, but they may not say anything leading to any knowledge, suspicions or opinions you might have. In the event a dead player posts in the Mafia thread and the Referee decides the post is relevant to the potential outcome of the game, the Referee will notify the player privately of the rule violation and a one game suspension. Upon the completion of the game, the Referee will post the decision within the thread.
13) 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.
14) AKA The Bacon Rule: The bigger the whiner, the smaller the wiener.
It is up to the referee of an active game to state and enforce the rules as the game starts. Changes may be made to start the game, but will not change once the game has started. All violations of game rules will be addressed by the referee. If there is a dispute in a game in progress, the referee may discuss it with non-players to resolve any issues or rule violations. In addition, the referee is responsible for maintaining an updated tally that includes the following: a) A list of players currently with a vote on them, including the number of votes b) A list of the current votes for that round c) A list of players yet to vote d) Estimated time until the round will close e) Any additional notes on the game
In addition to game rules, all players are expected to follow the guidelines and policies of the forum. Forum violations will initially be handled by the referee and penalties will be given on a case by case basis.
Welcome back to Sealab! Captain Murphy and the gang have returned bringing all of you with them to see what has become of Tinfins after the last Sealab collapsed. To give you a recap, here are some scenes from the last adventure
The genius mind is still in a robot shark body, but this time he has devious mafia friends to help accomplish his evil goals. When you won the contest to travel on this amazing adventure, little did you know that 3 mafia had infiltrated your friendly gathering and intended to destroy you all.
The town must rise up and defend the entire ocean because we know the crew of Sealab is not up to the task. If you should fail, the ocean will fall. If the ocean falls, treasures such as coral reefs, surfing, and nude beaches would be gone for good! It is up to you to protect us all as we begin this undersea adventure of mafia…

We got a whole bunch of sexists up in herrrrr! Just kidding...
I always vote for the 4th on the list, so I could have told Jazmo that he'd be getting my initial vote in the Mafia 77 thread (and almost did). I'll stipulate as always that first round votes are cast on the pattern and are subject to change if I see anything suspicious.
Random vote. No predetermined pattern or anything. Maybe I should start coming up with one like many others have. Let's say I'll initially vote for the last on the list in first rounds. Sounds good, yeah? lol
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Uh, no you don't. See last game were you voted 6th.
It's so quiet and peaceful. I'd like to say it's calming, but whenever a mafia game is quiet, it makes me uneasy. It is just Day 1, so maybe this game is just full of the "not much to go off of on the first day" types.
I'd like to suggest we have a 4 person runoff. There's two of us in it right now, so with two votes left to be made, surfbumdj and Dr. Joe have the opportunity to make the 4-way happen. (oooh, kinky)

Agree? Disagree?
You consider this to be quiet? This seems pretty much par for the course for the first day. Would you prefer that people start throwing wild accusations unnecessarily? In two of the last three games this resulted in the inspector's hand being forced, and in both cases he was whacked during the first night. I'm all for talking and discussion, and I agree that quiet Mafia games are generally not good for the town, but we're barely halfway through the first day. I think feeling uneasy is premature.

I'm all for a 4-way though.
Maybe I'm just used to the last few games being insane during the first day, so I was expecting the same lol

Well, apparently I'm going to be in the runoff. If that's the case, I'd rather be in with someone other than Jazmo so I'm changing my vote.
There were two people that stacked right off the bat (before JFG and Jimmy stacked on me). I think Rummaging stacking on Jaz makes sense - it's her first game, he voted for her, and if she were mafia there probably would have been discussions about stacking and it wouldn't have happened that early. I think Rummaging is a townie based on that.
Tainted Oppossum stacked on Krissy for no reason. He said his vote could move, so if he does I will take that into consideration. Until then...

My logic is simple, most players have a routine and while I don't find it strange when someone picks someone at random, I do find it strange when someone picks someone and then explains that they are voting for them based on nothing at all. As for stacking, the votes were cut five or six ways one way with a single individual having two votes. Between those flags, I had my first vote. I doubt I'll be changing it, barring a shift in what pans out.
As for taking your targets off jazmo so quickly after declaring your pattern, can you explain a little more why you don't want to be in a runoff with him?
I'm ok with a 3 or 4 way runoff either way. I don't see a reason right now why we'd need to have one over the other.
IMO - 4 person runoff gives us more to whittle down, giving more voting patterns and chances to for people to talk, providing more information for the town and inspector.

So on Day 1 - someone saying they're voting based on nothing at all vs not giving a reason is cause for a flag? That's silly to me. And not just cause you voted for me lol

I hear ya, suspicions were first placed at my feet based on the plague mask in my picture lol its all a process and everything comes out in the wash. Just have to wait for more talk and hopefully more transparent circle logic.

Just a gut feeling. Really nothing other than that, other than I know why he had two votes and I don't feel either is legit. Could Jaz be mafia? Sure. As far as I'm concerned, I'm suspicious of 9.5 of you (even though Rummaging made a move making me think she's town, I'm still half suspicious). Just going with my gut here.

See above reply to Krissy. Nothing more than a gut feeling at this point. Kinda feel like that's what all townies are going off of without any other information. You being one of the first two to stack was going to draw some heat. Like I said, and always feel, if something more suspicious comes up, I'll move, it's that simple for me.
