    This will be a traditional Mafia game. Daytime is 10am to 10pm, then it is night time.

    Basically, the idea of the game is that everyone playing is PM'd a role and assigned to either Sith or Jedi. The Jedi’s objective is to lynch all members of the Sith, while the Sith have to avoid suspicion and get to a stage where they outnumber the Jedi members.

    Each day, the Jedi gets to lynch one person through a vote. Once that is completed, night phase begins and the Sith can choose a player to kill during the night. While the Sith are aware of their team-mates and can communicate outside of the thread, the Town aren't given this information and have to work it out through well-directed suspicion.

    If you want to find out more, there's a wiki for it: http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

    FAQ

    How do I vote?

    Like this: I vote XXX. You must vote in the thread, as opposed to via PM.

    What about the Sith’s votes?

    They are allowed to vote on the day lynch just like the townsfolk. Their night-kill is separate to their votes on the lynch, so they will be able to use the opportunity and attempt to blend in with the town during the voting process.

    Do I have to vote?

    No, you don't have to. The town can also vote 'no lynch', so there is nothing forcing you to kill during the day phase.

    Am I allowed to tell people what my role is?

    Yes! And as the game goes on it is likely to become more and more necessary for townies to come forward with their roles (and potentially, for the mafia to fabricate theirs).

    What are the times for the day and night phases?

    Day phase - 10:00 to 22:00 GMT
    Night phase - 22:00 to 10:00 GMT

    RULES

    OBJECTIVE

    If you are TOWN aligned, then your objective is to kill every member of the mafia. Every Townsperson is victorious once the last mafioso has died.

    If you are MAFIA aligned, then your objective is to get to a stage where the number of Mafia players left alive is greater than the number of Town players left alive.

    HOW IT WORKS

    The game begins with every played being randomly assigned a role. These will be PM'd to you by me.

    During the day phase, players will be able to discuss their suspicions in the thread. The ultimate goal of the day phase is to determine which player will be lynched by voting in the thread. Once the day phase is over, the votes will be tallied up and the player who received the most will be killed. Once dead, the role of the lynched player will be revealed and night phase will begin.

    During night phase, the Mafia will be able to pick someone from the town that they wish to kill. The Mafia's choice is revealed at the end of the night phase, and the dead player's role is also exposed. The next day phase then begins, and this continues until one side achieves their objective.

    RULES

    1. No discussing the game outside of the thread or in PMs (unless you are in the mafia or your role permits it).
    2. Once dead, you are no longer able to post in the thread. A farewell "Urgh, I'm dead" post is fine but you must stay quiet after that.
    3. No posting screenshots of anything I send to you in PMs. You should be trying to convince people through your words and actions, not through mine. Similarly, no direct quoting from my PMs - pass on the information in your own words, if you have to.
    4. The town is allowed to 'No Lynch' at the end of a day phase. This option must receive the majority of votes.
    5. If a lynch-vote is tied, nobody gets killed.
    6. No editing posts.
    7. Please cast your votes using Bold and Underline. If you decide to change your vote during the day phase, please write who you're changing your vote from as well. (EG: I change my vote from X to Y).
    8. Deliberate and persistent rule-breaking could lead to you being modkilled.

    THE THREAD

    It might be a little difficult to know what to do on the first day. The idea of the thread is that the townsfolk discuss who they think may or may not be mafia, with the mafia trying not to draw suspicion towards them. The first day or two might be a little slow but as people begin to use their abilities, the evidence will begin to arrive. Expect things to get pretty heated at certain points in the game (that's how we know it's fun).

    If you're not sure about a rule, you can post a question to me in the thread (if it is something to do with your role, though, it's probably best to do it via PM).

    Enjoy!

    POSSIBLE ROLES

    Jedi

    Yoda- This player is confirmed as Town at the start of the game, and has the ability to cast two votes during the daily lynch. (Post like Yoda you must ;) )

    The Jedi Knight- Each day, this player is able to choose one other person to protect from the Sith night-kill. Limited uses. If the sith target a protected person, then their kill will fail.

    Chewbacca- This player will inherit the role of the first town-aligned player with an ability to be killed.

    R2D2- This player has a limited number of investigations they can perform on other players. They will be able to send me a PM asking for the alignment and role of another player, which they will receive. It will only come back as Jedi/Sith not a specific role. (If Emperor it will just say Jedi, if Lando it will just say Sith”

    Obi-Wan Kenobi- He/she can talk and discuss, even when dead, but he cannot vote when dead.

    Thermal Detonator –If he/she is killed during the night a Sith will randomly be killed. If he/she is killed during the day, a member that voted for them will randomly be selected to die.

    Han Solo- This player has a one-off ability to kill another player during the day.

    The Skywalkers- The siblings. A Luke and a Leia confirmed Jedi with the ability to speak to each other outside of the thread.

    Lando Calrissian- This player is Jedi-aligned, but will show up as Sith if investigated.

    C3PO- Can detect how many Sith voted on the previous lynch (a one off ability)

    Padawan- The same as a vanilla townie.


    Sith


    Emperor- This player is the head of the Sith, and can only be killed if his Sith Apprentice has already been taken down. If the town attempts to lynch the Emperor before the Sith Apprentice is dead, the lynch will fail. This player will show up as “Jedi” if investigated.

    Sith Apprentice- Whilst alive the Emperor cannot be killed - can persuade a player to change his/her vote. One-time use.

    Bobba Fett- This player has a one off ability to kill a player of the Jedi. The kill will be allowed at any time (either the day or night phase)

    Probe Droid- This player can find out the specific role of a Jedi Member. Limited uses.

    Storm Trooper- This player has a one-off special ability to steal the power of another player and use it themselves.

    Imperial Officer- This player has a one-off special ability to block another player from using their power for a day.

    Also a new thing. When players die, I will send them a PM. It will be a private chatroom where they can discuss between each other and not interrupt the game. Also if there is an Obi-Wan role he will be put in this chatroom as well.

    I might go straight on the attack here by posting a lie detectable statement:

    I am Jedi aligned.

    Now let's kick some ass, Jedi friends.

    Edited the description. basically the bomb just a diffferent name.

    I guess they could've been sith apprentice. Didn't think it was specific enough for a certain role and I think he's cooler than just a body guard.

    C3P0 could be very useful for us. It will mean we get another list :laugh:

    Don't think there is. Seems to be have been replaced by the role which can determine how many Sith voted in the previous lynch..

    So no lie detector should hopefully mean that people don't come out and blab their role right? And it's up to R2D2 as to who they investigated...

    Look like, although the C3P0 role could be crucial for us in this game, we need to pay attention to voting patterns in this game a great deal more so than the last one as I don't think Sith will want to vote in masses too often in this game for risk of C3P0, will depend whether they want to use it on a vote landslide to try and catch the few who don't vote that way (as it also confirms how many Jedi are there) or whether they want to try and use it on a smaller amount in a vote to try and catch a couple.

    Then that is where the R2D2 role will come in imo, when there is a group to either look into or ignore.

    Suppose we will see how many have read the roles before playing by how many choose to highlight what side they're apparently aligned to, it's a pointless statement with no lie detector
