Code Geass Mafia Sign Up thread: Read inside for details!

[Clearmoon]

I am aiming to host a Mafia game (The same type that used to be played in the MD a little while ago) based upon the theme of Code Geass.

For those who don't know what Mafia is, I will put a brief intro and some resources for people to check up on in my second post.

The game is setup for 20 players, first come first served. If there are people who still want to play after I have 20 people, you will be put on the replacements queue.

Please don't sign up if you don't have the time to make at least 1 post on topic every three days, you will be ruining the game for those who are active.

If you have any questions, post them in the thread or PM me. Also if you have played Mafia before (either in the MD or elsewhere), it would be nice to know. Similarly, if you wish to sign up, post in here or PM me.

EDIT: Just wanted to make clear, this is technically not a roleplaying game. I put the topic here after asking a mod, but you do not have to roleplay your character (Indeed it would defeat the point of the game).

The game of Mafia is one based upon a uninformed majority group versus a informed minority group, with both groups trying to be the last man standing. During the 'day' phase, the 'town' majority try and weed out possible mafia targets while the 'mafia' will attempt to decieve them and blend in with the town.

People place votes on those that they suspect, and once a Majority of votes has been reached, the player with that majority will be killed. During the night phase, normal town players cannot post in thread or communicate, while the mafia can talk (through PM) and choose to kill one player. This will go on until one side wins.

There are also numerous power roles, which have a variety of abilities that affect the game in different ways.

I recommend the resources below; especially for beginners, the first two are good for getting a general feel for the game and the roles within. The third is a wiki on all things mafia, so it should be useful to anyone.

Secondly, if you have the time, I would recommend reading one (or more) of the games hosted here: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/index.php. This will allow you to see how a game actually progresses and is probably much more helpful than just knowing the rules.

Wow, a themed mafia. Looks great, I'm definitely in.

Awesome. By the way, if anyone is being scared off by the activity/posting requirement, it is just to make sure people who join contribute to the game. And usually there is some leniency (depending on other players). So don't feel too worried by that (unless you really don't have the time).

Also, if there isn't enough demand to fill 20 spaces, I can potentially reduce it to 12 roles.
