Anyone up for a game of Mafia?

If you don’t know how to play, I can post the rules. But before you agree play, you have to make sure you’ll be able to log on and post at least once a day, for at least a week.

We need at least six people. If you’d like to play or need the rules, just post.

THE RULES OF MAFIA

Here are the rules for Mafia. For those of you who haven’t played before, it’s a very fun game, but it does require that you log onto the sight and post at least once a day. I’ve switched some of the names around a little bit to fit with the theme of this forum.


This game is structured with a day/night cycle. We’ll play this game real time, with a twelve hour day period and a twelve-hour night period.

Day begins at:
- 12:00 PM, Greenwich Mean Time
- 9:00 AM, Eastern Standard Time
- 6:00 AM, Mountain Standard Time
- 6:00 PM, Indian Standard Time

Night begins at:
- 12:00 AM, Greenwich Mean Time
- 9:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time
- 6:00 PM, Mountain Standard Time
- 6:00 AM, Indian Standard Time


There are five basic types of players in the game.

• Citizen
• Controller
• Chee
• Animorph
• Moderator (That’s me, at least for the first round)

I will Private Message each player, telling each person what his or her role is. The type of player you are must remain secret to all the other players in the game, with a few exceptions.

For citizens and Animorphs, the goal of the game is to kill of all the controllers before they kill you.

For controllers, the goal of the game is to eliminate all of the citizens and Animorphs before they find out who you are and kill you.

For chee, the goal of the game is to save the would-be victims.


What you do during the game depends entirely on your role.

• Controllers are the “bad guys” in the game. During the night period, the controller, (or controllers) discuss amongst themselves and decide on a certain player to kill. Once they decide, they PM the moderator with their decision. This must all take place during the night period.
• Animorphs are the “good guys”. During the night period, the Animorph, (or Animorphs) discuss amongst themselves about who they think is a controller. They PM me with their guess. If that person is a controller, he/she is attacked by the Animorphs, and eliminated from the game. If that person is innocent, nothing happens. Again, this must all take place during the night period.
• The Chee are essentially big fluffy dog creatures that... are the "doctors" of the game. During the night period, the doctor, (or doctors) discuss amongst themselves who they think the killer will attack, they can pick themselves. Once they have decided they will pm the moderator with their decision. The person they pick will gain immunity from dieing for that night. Once again, this must all take place during the night period.
• The citizens are the uninformed innocents. They get to do stuff during the daytime period. Each day, the citizens find out who was killed the night before. Then everyone (including the Controllers and Animorphs) gets to discuss on who they think the controller is. During this time, everyone PM’s me with a vote on whom they think is guilty. Whoever gets the most votes is killed off, and eliminated from the game. All votes must be submitted before nighttime begins.

In order to participate, you must enable Private Messaging. The number of Animorphs, Controllers and Chee that we have will depend on how many people we have.

Slightly confusing, but I think I get it...The first round can be like a trial round right?

Say I'm a Controller.
How do I know who the other controllers are?

[Ellimist]

I think that a controller will know who the other controllers are. Same with the Animorphs. I'm saying this because

During the night period, the controller, (or controllers) discuss amongst themselves and decide on a certain player to kill.

During the night period, the Animorph, (or Animorphs) discuss amongst themselves about who they think is a controller.

[Snoopy]

That’s right. If you are a controller, I’ll tell you who you’re fellow controllers are when roles are assigned. Same goes if you’re an Animorph.

Of course, the number of controllers and Animorphs we have will depend on how many people we get. If we only have six players, then there’ll only be one of each. If we get ten people or so, then we can have two of each, and maybe even give the controllers the ability to infest a certain number of people. That’s when things really get interesting.

And yes, the first round can be a trial round. But you guys will probably catch on very quickly.

[dr.giggles]

i will do it

[Snoopy]

Well… we have four people, including me. Still not enough C’mon people!
