Hello everyone. With Arsy being in witness protection for some time (He identified the Godfather off the Morales) ICMafia has been on the hold these last few weeks. In his absence Nolio and yours truly decided it was time to host another game.
This round we are going to keep it basic so everyone can get back in the routine.

The following are the catergories of characters, all chosen completely at random (using an Excel spreadsheet formula) from the list of those signed up:
- 8 Mafioso's(includes 1 godfather, 2 Secret roles and 5 plain old badguys!)
- 1 serial killer
- 1 doctor
- 2 police officers
- 2 secret pro-town roles
- 1 judge (alliance unknown)
- 9 townsfolk

This brings the total to 24 players and we will also list 1 reserve.

Each phase of the game begins with the night. The following can happen during this time:

-Mafia murder: Each night the mafia can debate among themselves to decide who to kill. After all is said the Godfather will have the final decision on who dies. Also the Godfather has to elect a single Mafioso who will take the task upon himself.
(should the Godfather be killed then the mafia will function as a Democracy).

-The Godfather will have the normal powers off being immune to night kills and he will appear innocent to should he be investigated.

- The serial killer chooses one person per night to kill.

- Doctor chooses one person to spare in the event that that person is chosen for death by the mafia families or serial killer. If the doctor tries to heal the SK, he will be cured and become an ordinary townsperson.

- Police officers can choose one person to investigate between them. They will then be told of this person's role. They can do what they like with this information but revealing it may make it obvious they are police and make them a target for the mafias/SK.

- The judge has the unique ability to make decisions when there is a votes draw at the lynching deadline. If there is a draw, the judge will secretly choose who will face the gallows. For now its unknown who the Judge will side with.

During the day, the town will find out who has been murdered. All townspeople (including the secret mafia members, serial killer, police officer, and doctor) can then vote who they think are the mafia. There will be a deadline to which townspeople must vote by. If there is a draw, the judge will have a set time to send his choice of who to lynch to the moderator. If the judge is dead and there is a draw or if the judge does not send his choice in time, the judge choice is void and the deadline will be extended and only those drawing will be voted on. If there is still a draw by the new deadline, there will be no lynching. 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 a mafia family, serial killer, police officer and doctor secretly make their next choices.

The secret roles are secret! Each team (town and mafia) will have 2 secret roles. That is all I will say!

The mafia wins if they manage to kill everyone else off, including. The serial killer wins if he/she is the last person alive and the rest win if they manage to kill both the mafia families and kill/cure the serial killer.

Everyone is allowed to post in the thread during the day phase to discuss who they think is mafia 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.

If any player miss the lynching voting on at most 2 occasions, they will be mod killed and replaced with a reserve. If no reserves are remaining, their role will be removed and revealed. Reserves will no longer be used after the 4th night.

If you die, the game is over for you and you are not permitted to discuss the game with any of the people still playing. Doing so will result in a ban from future games.

Finally, I know it will be a bit different to play a mafia game not hosted by the guy with the bouncing Smiley, but please bare with me.
For the writing off the exiting happenings during each day and night ill be counting on Nolio and myself.

I hope you all enjoy yourselves and goodluck to those who will be playing!

***Signing Up***
With the new forums (and current lack of clock), sign ups for this mafia game will work differently. For those who want to play, please ingame Freakside in #668 with a message saying who you are and that you want to play mafia.

Deadline to do this is 21:00 forum time on Saturday 5th April.

Once the deadline is reached, I will use a random Excel formula to pick 24 people to play and 1 reserves and will publish the list below. Role descriptions will be sent out shortly after and we'll begin!

Again, you cannot sign up if you are forum banned.

If you have any questions, just give me a shout. I will off course reside in #mafia !
