Note: All rules that are highlighted in blue are able to be changed as a game host sees fit.

Rule [Only admins are allowed to see this link]: Do not take the game personally.
People might get aggressive, unreasonable, controlling, bossy – all of these are tactics in order to make you vote a certain way or believe what they want you to believe. Nothing is personal, don’t take it personally.
If you feel you have been personally attacked, please try and work it out privately with the other person before bringing it to staff. If this does not work or you are uncomfortable with the situation, contact one of the moderators of this section, Starchild or Batgirl, and the issue will be addressed.

Rule [Only admins are allowed to see this link]: Be active – post at least twice per 24 hour period.
If inactivity is suspected, you will be kicked from the game and another member will take your place. You will not receive any points for participation.
You should be able to dedicate at least 20-40 minutes to the game per day. If you are unable to do this, you shouldn't be playing, or you should expect to be called out on your inactivity and have it used against you. Especially if, when you post, you don't contribute to the game.

Rule [Only admins are allowed to see this link]: This is not a roleplay. Do not roleplay. Character names are given for fun.

Posting Rules:
Do not screenshot any private messages sent by the moderator, whether it be via the forums, Skype, text, or any other instant messaging forum.
Don’t edit or delete your posts.

Gameplay Rules:
Bold and Red your lynch nomination vote.
Bold and Green your nvm-don’t-lynch vote.
Don’t discuss this game outside of boards designated for this game.
Claim whatever you want; just be willing to back your claim up without breaking one of these rules.
You get one final post after you die. This post is not allowed to contain game relevant information. Use it wisely. Your role will be revealed when you die.
Day Phase - Lynching
   - Days last for 47 hours. After that the player of Sailor Pluto has 1 hour to write a PM and tell the host if she wants to change the lynchtarget.
   - Everyone votes on whom to lynch (suspected of being a mafia member)
   - Lynches are made when a player receives greater than 50% of the vote.
   - Days without lynching may occur, depending on moderator’s wishes.
Night Phase - Roles
   - Nights last 24 hours regardless of how soon players finish their roles.
   - Mafia votes on whom to kill – they do this in a secret board.
   - Doctors choose whom to protect (the mafia cannot kill the protected person).
   - There can be other roles; other roles, or specifications on the above roles, will be posted
     below these rules. For more information, visit this site.
   - Players are NOT allowed to pressure other members to turn in roles each night. There is a
     set time, and it is up to the Moderator when to end each night.
Winning
   - Mafia wins if their numbers are equal to or less than townies.
   - Townies win when all mafia members are dead.

Breaking any of the above rules will result in expulsion from the game and disciplinary action.

Warning: Mafia can be considered a game with a high potential for intensity, as it involves accusations (sometimes wild and unfounded), strong words, and even, at times, aggression towards other characters. This is an official note of caution that this game is for people with really thick skins that fully understand that what happens in game stays in game and anything that occurs in that game thread is not a reflection of the player or of the forum, just the nature of the game itself: in other words, there is a giant "No personal offense meant" tag across everything mafia-related.

If for any reason you believe this game might not be the game for you, sit out and watch a few games before deciding to sign up.

Disclaimer: If you have a hard time focusing, high anxiety or some sort of disorder that you know might be triggered by the game, then this game might not be for you. Please exercise caution when signing up.

Consequences of Breaking Mafia Conduct
If any player starts acting out of line (even within the normal scope of reactions to the game) it is understood that the game could be locked for a short period of time, wherein the players involved can cool off and apologize, or decide it's too intense and back away from the game. By signing up you agree to these terms and conditions, knowing that if further actions need be taken you could be banned from playing Mafia in the future.

Thank you Sailor Uranus for the original Mafia rules!

The Players are not allowed to copy their Role-PMs. I wrote a small text for all of them and I want to showcase them after the Game / When a Role dies. Until then I want them to be a surprise!
