This is some general information about the game, but I will summarize the rules: Mafia Game Rules

Basically, there are teams of players (usually two teams), that are fighting each other. The Mafia wants control of the town, while the Townies resist the Mafia and want to keep the town as is. Neutral characters are passersby in the town and just strive to survive, helping either team as they see fit. There are two phases to the game, the Day and Night phase. The Day phase, anyone can discuss who might be Mafia and who might be a Townie, and try to get a majority vote on who might be Mafia, thus disabling them. The Mafia can also vote during this phase, and they will try to instead disable a Townie. At Night, the Mafia all gather to vote on a Townie to disable. The objective is either that the Mafia team is completely under control, or the Mafia is able to overtake the town due to the Townies either numbering that of the Mafia or are fewer in number compared to the Mafia. There will also be roles for each player, as well as a Moderator to oversee the entire game. The Moderator is the only participant in this game that does not have a role, but instead controls the game itself.

Now, this can get pretty complicated, so I have a list of DO's and DON'T's when playing this game, in order to highlight the most important tips for you:


DO:

-Be respectful to other players. Don't pick out a player during the Day phase because you don't like them, but if you think they might be Mafia, that is perfectly ok.

-Encourage discussion to take place during the Day phase. The more you know, the better you'll do in the game.

-PM the Moderator if you have any questions regarding the game. He/She may not tell you about other players, though.

-PM the Moderator if you would like to use one of your special abilities, and on who if a target is involved. Don't announce it in the thread, though, or you'll give away your best element of surprise! If you're given a role with more than one special ability, you may decide how many you want to use...you could use all of them if you wish!

-Try to get a Townie disabled instead if you are a member of the Mafia. Try to make it hard for people to tell if you are lying or telling the truth. If you are Neutral instead, it's your call who you want to vote, Townie or Mafia.

-Communicate with other Mafia members regarding the game progress if you are a Mafia member yourself. Be aware that Mafia members sacrificing one of their own is sometimes used!

-PM the Moderator during the Night phase, after talking with fellow Mafia members, the name of the player to disable. Townies and Neutral cannot talk with the Moderator during this time except if they want to use a special ability.

-Abstain, or pass, if you do not want to vote during the Day phase. You can, however, still choose to use a special ability by PMing the Moderator, as that is an entirely different action.


DON'T:

-Try to communicate with other players unless you're talking Mafia to Mafia. Do not tell anyone your role or get anyone to tell you about their roles. That ruins the surprise of the game.

-PM the Moderator asking for another role. The role you get is what you're stuck with until the end. If the Moderator deems it necessary for you to get another role, THEN you'll get another.

-PM the Moderator asking him/her to end the current phase. The Moderator controls how long each phase lasts, but generally the Day phase lasts longer than Night due to voting.

-Attempt to continue playing the game even if you are disabled. Unlike Hurt and Heal, once you've been disabled, you are done. You may continue to guess on your own who is who, but no communication with others.

-Attempt to play the game if you did not sign up. Unlike other games, this one has a limited time period before no more players will be accepted.


Think that covers everything, so if you're interested in joining a game, and said game has not started yet, feel free to post below saying you want to join. After sign-ups are closed, you will be PMed your role, and prepare for Day 1.
