Mafia 101: The Basics
Beginner's Mafia

New to mafia games and interested in playing a short, simple game without all those crazy characters and roles? Wanna learn some basic mechanics? This is the game for you!

If you'd like to get acquainted with some of our tips and tricks, check out Gunner's Guide here. It gives a great breakdown of how to play mafia games. Credit to user Muskratte on EpicMafia.com for the awesome role icons.

This short beginner's game will introduce you to some of the basic roles in a mafia game utilizing the simple mechanics of Epic Mafia, an online version of mafia that is popular here in the Underground. This game is intended for very new players, either brand new or still adjusting! I will admit experienced players into the game to fill slots if we reach a point where it's necessary, but otherwise come on new snails!

There's no plot and no frills. Just good ol' backstabby fun.

ROLES
Villager
Sided with the village, the basic vanilla role. Wins if all mafia are eliminated.

Cop
Sided with the village, visits one person each night and learns their alignment (Village/Mafia/Third Party). Wins if all mafia are eliminated.

Doc
Sided with the village, visits one person each night and protects them from death. Wins if all mafia are eliminated.

Deputy
Sided with the village, carries a gun to be fired at one person any time during the game. Shooting the gun will not reveal your role. Wins if all mafia are eliminated.

Mafia
Sided with the mafia, the basic mafia role. Wins if mafia outnumber village.

Hooker
Sided with the mafia, visits one person each night and roleblocks them. Wins if mafia outnumber village.

RULES
  • All PokéCommunity rules apply here.
  • To vote for a player, simply post "[KILL] Username". This is standard practice in the Underground for votes. You may change your vote any time up until the end of a phase.
  • Phases will last 24/24 in this game, so be advised of that.
  • Keep game discussion in this thread or in chats designated for the game.
  • You are allowed a single post if you are lynched. This is called a death post and you are not allowed to share any game information in your final post.

If you got too many really new players I don't mind if you don't admit me in. But I kinda do think "still adjusting" fits to myself... so ...I'd like to join. At least I got the impression a lot of the "more advanced" games are ...beyond my understanding of the roles and stuff. I'd really appreciate playing a more simple game.

Introduction & Syllabus
Lesson 0

Thank you all so much for signing up! I'm looking forward to giving you the ropes on Mafia! As we are beginning the game, you should have a PM with your role for this game. Do not share your role with anyone outside of the game.

The teams are...


VS.


Each team's objective is listed alongside the role in the OP (whether you are sided with the Village or Mafia), as well as in the PM you received.

DURING THE NIGHT
Each game of Mafia consists of two phases, a Day and a Night. During the Night, which we are currently in, you may not post. Some games will automatically eliminate you for posting during such phases, while others impose consequences against you.

In this game, we will follow the "night posts = elimination" rule, so direct all questions to me via PM or Skype.

During this time, if you have a Night Action (such as the cop investigation, doctor protecting, or hooker roleblocking), you may PM me your action and your target. During this time, the Mafia will also vote to kill a player by submitting a name to me through PM. Each Mafia member gets a vote in who to kill. Come Day, we may see the results of that work.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Remember not to share your role with anyone outside of the game. This is a very big no-no in mafia games, so be sure to abide by it. You may contact me via PM or Skype with any and all questions and I will be happy to help!

More instructions on how to play during the Day phase will come soon. For now, submit your Night Actions (referred to as NAs by players) if you have one. Villagers do not have a NA, so they must wait until Day. Remember to follow the other rules as explained in the OP.

Thank you all! Class dismissed.

First Day
Lesson 1

Sheep got sheered.


VS.


DURING THE DAY
Congratulations on surviving your first night in Mafia 101 - except Sheep, of course, who fell victim to the Mafia.

As the Day phase begins, consider your options and discuss together who might be the most suspicious or trustworthy. The Cop, at this time, could share any information they received during their investigation (though they are not obligated to - it's sometimes better to remain quiet unless you have good information), while others may wish to stir chaos and claim to be the Cop themselves. You are really not restricted in what you do during a Day phase. You can claim facts, lie, try to start a bandwagon (when players consecutively begin voting for the same person with little reason), or end up being suspicious yourself!

One advisable tip to note is that we have the most Villager roles, so many people will claim to be a Villager. As the game goes on and roles dwindle, you may find yourself having to back up your role or even accepting your fate if you get in trouble.

As the Day progresses, remember to vote like so: [Kill] Username

You may change your vote at any time by simply posting a new target.

The person with the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched and the next Night will begin.

IMPORTANT NOTES

At this time in the game, the Deputy is able to shoot off their gun! They may PM or IM me at any time on who they wish to shoot. Their target will be killed immediately and nobody will know who did it!

Also be cautious of the Mafia, who will be pretending to be Village roles too!

Remember not to share your role with anyone outside of the game. This is a very big no-no in mafia games, so be sure to abide by it. You may contact me via PM or Skype with any and all questions and I will be happy to help!

So the sweetest, most innocent person here was killed on the first night. Only a truly evil and cruel soul is capable of doing this.

Oh, we're already doing the votes now?
Hmm... Cool, we're heading to that direction now. >:)

I'd love to see two to three more votes. My decision depends on the big wave, or bandwagon if you prefer that term. -said in an evil tone-
