Underground Guidelines!
+ All threads must be approved by a mod! This means if you wish to create a Mafia game, you must PM a Underground mod with your game idea and any other information we need (all provided in the Game Index). There is a game queue and yours will be added to the end of that list. If there is no queue, you can post when the mod gives you the go ahead. Otherwise, we will let you know when it is time for your game and you may submit your Mafia thread for approval then.
+ You may have up to two games in each queue (one in large, one in small) but they must be at least five games apart.
+ You must follow the standard 48 hour day phase/24 hour night phase changes, unless otherwise discussed with the mods.
+ Frequently cheating or breaking the rules of games can get you in some trouble! Please follow any and all rules the Game Masters list in their threads and be fair to other players! Otherwise you may be banned from the game and, if done repeatedly, banned from any and all mafia games. Whether it is temporary or permanent will be up to the Mods' discretion.
+ While you may have a general discussion of a Mafia game in the Skype chat, do not say anything that hints to your role, anyone else's role, or anything that might break the game. Only discuss the game out of the thread in chats for that game (such as the mafia/cultist chats). Failure to follow this can result in kicking you out of the Skype chat, banning you from the game, or any other means necessary.
+ This place is not just for games! You are welcome to post discussion/meta-game threads about anything pertaining to Mafia. Just remember that you are not allowed to discuss details about any ongoing games in the Hangout or any discussions as per mafia rules.
+ Any quick questions you have about Mafia can be posted in the Hangout.
+ Have fun killing eachother! Just don't try and get too salty remember that nothing here is serious.

If you are going past this time frame, you will be given a head's up to keep up on the first delay. On the second delay, you will receive a verbal warning to maintain your game within the limits. On the third delay, your thread will be closed and the game will be considered defunct and will be shut down or transferred fully to your back-up GM (who should be indicated in the thread's opening post). A delayed day phase is anything over 96 hours/four days long, while a delayed night phase is anything over 72 hours/three days long.

Behavior & Tact Announcement
As our regulars know, mafia games can get pretty aggressive and intense and even in the Skype chat, but there needs to be a level of tact and restraint used - especially on the forums. The policy will be to give infractions and remove posts that are overly aggressive, as well as kick people from the Skype chat for similar behavior.
We know how fun and involved people get into the games and we don't want to restrict that fun in any way, but we also need to ensure the rules of the forum are being followed. A little intensity never hurts a game, but insulting people, specifically targeting individuals to ruin their experience, or outright hostility can't be condoned or tolerated. We will try to be evenhanded in our efforts to make things fair, and as a result, this will be the only warning given.
Thanks for your time, energy, and enjoyment of the games - we really do appreciate you all because you make the Underground what it is and we want to see it continue to foster an inviting environment and a welcoming of everyone on the forums.
If you have any questions, you can contact any of the mods listed under the splash.
