Mafia's back and we're going back to basics!

As usual, the following are the list of characters. These will be allocated to players who sign up randomly using the Excel rand() function!

7 Mobsters (including a Mafia elected Godfather)
1 Pro-Mafia secret role
2 IBI Agents (Imperial Bureau of Investigations)
2 GIA Agents (Galactic Intelligence Agency)
1 Jail keeper
1 Serial Killer
12 Townies

Only the godfather and Mafia will know who the other mobsters are. Everyone else will be in the dark.

NIGHT PHASE - WHO DOES WHAT?
Each phase of the game begins with the night. The following can happen during this time:
- Before the end of the first night, the Mafia must elect their godfather. The godfather is the leader of the Mafia. He, together with the other mobsters, will decide on person to kill each night (this is also possible if he is in jail). He will also choose one of them to conduct the kill. The godfather has the final say in any Mafia night decision. He will also appear to be innocent to IBI investigations and is immune to being killed at night.
- The Mafia's secret role has powers hidden to everyone.
- The Imperial Bureau of Investigations (IBI) agents are a special branch of the government who specialise in conducting secret investigations for mobsters. Two undercover agents have been assigned to this case. They know each other and decide between them each night to investigate one person. As a result, they will learn this person's role. They can do what they like with this information but revealing it might reveal their identities.
- Galactic Intelligence Agency (GIA) agents are also from a special branch of the government. However, their actions are highly confidential and their work is top secret.
- The jail keeper holds the keys to the jail. The jail is housed in a secure part of town. The person who is sent to jail is safe from harm until they are released the next morning. As long as the jail keeper lives, all town residents are able to vote to put someone in jail. This vote takes place during the day phase together with the lynch vote. This person is locked in, which makes him/her protected during the night phase, but it also disables his nightly activities (apart from the godfather, who is still able to instruct his mobsters who to kill). When the jail keeper dies, the jail becomes unavailable. Since it's his responsibility, he holds 2 votes in the vote on who to send to jail. His second vote will be made in secret and posted on his behalf by the game mods. It is impossible to put the same person in jail two nights in a row. The jail keeper is unable to vote for himself to enter the jail. On the first night only, the jail keeper locks himself away behind the bars.
- The serial killer is a madman who kills one person every night. He is immune to being killed at night but if placed in the jail, he will commit suicide.

DAY PHASE - LYNCHING
During the day phase, everyone in the town will find out who has been murdered. All townsfolk (including the Mafia, the serial killer, jail keeper, IBI and GIA agents) can then vote who they think are mobsters. This is the lynching process. There will be a deadline to which the people must vote by. If there is a draw, the deadline will be extended and voting will remain open for everyone. If there is still a draw by the new deadline, all of those with the joint highest votes will be lynched. Once the result is in, the person will then be dead and their role will be revealed. Then that round is over and night begins again when the night roles make their next choices.

In addition to the lynch vote, all townsfolk must also vote on who to send to jail during the coming night phase. More details are above.

This means that townsfolk should cast 2 votes during each day phase - one for lynch and one for the jail.

WHO WINS?
The godfather and his Mafia will win if they manage to kill everyone else off. The serial killer wins if he is the last person alive and the rest win if they manage to kill off all the Mafia and kill the serial killer.

Everyone is allowed to post in the thread to discuss who they think is infected or try to make themselves less suspicious (if they are Mafia!). You may NOT quote any part of messages sent by the game moderators. Doing so will result in your sudden death. Also, when you die you are dead and are no longer part of the game, you are not allowed to discuss the game with anyone.
