Right, so here is the sign up for the mafia game. But first, let's get a basic understanding of the game.
In its simplest form, Mafia consists of two sides: the Mafia, and the Innocent. The Mafia's goal is to kill the Innocents, while the Innocent's goal is to kill the Mafia.
From Wikipedia:
I'll say it again. Mafia players win when outnumber the Innocent players, and Innocent people win when all the Mafia are dead.
At the beginning of the game, the Game Master (GM) will secretly send everyone their role. The Mafia will know each other, while everyone else will only know their own role.
The game has two phases, first is Night. During the Night, the thread is 'locked' and no one can talk publicly. The Mafia, however, can speak to each other privately (via PM) to plot strategy and decide who to murder before the next Day begins.
During Day, the players killed the night previous are announced, and the Innocent must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when the voters reach a consensus or time runs out, the player with the most votes against them are lynched. Their alignment is revealed by the GM, who then declares the start to the night phase. (You vote by simply putting that players name in bold text.)
The game alternates between Day and Night until either the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia outnumber the innocent.
These roles are given randomly, you cannot pick your role. (If you're curious, to select roles I use a number bases system, a little RNG. Basically, dice rolling. Old school. This is what happens when the person running things plays Dungeons and Dragons.)
Your role is given to you via PM. You are not to share your role with ANYONE.
Unless your PM states otherwise.
You cannot share your role PM, or even paraphrase it in the thread either.
You also cannot communicate with any other players outside of the thread. That is cheating...
UNLESS YOUR PM STATES OTHERWISE.
What is the importance of roles? Certain roles, both innocent and mafia, have Night Actions. These are commands you can do at night to assist your faction. This can be anything from Inspecting another player to find their alignment, to Healing a player and preventing them from dying that night, or even to kill another player in cold blood.
Now, these roles are handed out by the Game Master, or GM. For this game I, PhantomX0990 will be your GM. The GM is not a player. The GM manages the inner workings of the game. They change phases, receive actions, and call for the daily vote.
Your role PM will look contain the following if you are Innocent; first, your alignment; your role; a short description of your role; and your night action; as well as a short explanation of your night action. If you are a Lover or a Fishing Brother you will get the name of your partner.
Your role PM will contain the following if you are Mafia: first, your alignment; your role; a short description of your role; and your night action; as a short explanation of your night action if you have one; and a list of the other Mafia members.
Mafia as a default can communicate with the other mafia members at will, unless, you guessed it, it's stated otherwise.
Now for roles. You cannot pick your role or alignment. Instead it is randomly selected and issued by the GM via Private Message (PM)
Mafia Roles:
The Don: Leader of the mafia.
Night Action: Each night phase they may kill one player.
Mafia goons: Just standard mafia members. They have no night action, instead they help the Don decide on who to kill the next day. Should the Don be killed one of the goons will be selected at random to be the Don.
Terrorist: The terrorist is on the mafia's side; however, they do not know of him, and he does not know who they are (and as such, he may not communicate with them during the night). The terrorist's goal is to ensure that the mafia win, and to achieve this, he has one secret weapon at his disposal: he is a suicide bomber. At any point during the day phase, he may blow himself up and take one player of his choice with him. If the inspector inspects the terrorist, he will be shown as not mafia, and if he dies, he is also shown as not mafia.
Innocent Roles:
Inspector: Each night the Inspector can pick one player and find their alignment.
Doctor: Can prevent one player from dying each night.
Lover: At the beginning of the game picks one other player to be their partner. Their goal together is to be the last two alive, or at least to survive. Should one of them die, though, then the other will commit suicide out of grief. They may commicate out of thread.
Fishing Brothers: Two brothers. They are randomly assigned. Each night one of the brothers picks a player, should their brother die that player is killed in retribution.
Vigilante: Once per game may use a night action to kill another player.
Third Party:
Alien: If the alien is attacked by the mafia, a vigilante or a fishing brothert, he does not die; instead, he turns into an activated alien.
Activated: If the activated alien is chosen to be lynched during the day, they instantly win the game... but they are mafia upon inspection.
So... let's play! Just post in this thread to sign up and I'll add you to the player list. Feel free to ask questions too.

From Wikipedia:
First, everyone gets a role. These roles can be innocent or mafia. Traditionally innocents always outnumber the mafia, since the point of the game is informed minority against uninformed majority. The point of the game is to eradicate the other faction, so mafia kills all innocents, or innocents kill all the mafia.
I'll say it again. Mafia players win when outnumber the Innocent players, and Innocent people win when all the Mafia are dead.
