Hello and welcome to your first game of mafia! (Well to some of you.) Mafia is a fun game that is based on the power of manipulation, convincing, strategy, deception, and being able to read actions. This game is made very basic and incredibly easy so that you all can learn how to play this great game. In this game there are two IC (inexperienced challenged) who are going to be this game with you. They are to help you to the best of their ability and help you learn how to play.
Let's go into what happens during this game. In this game, there are a total of two phases.
There is the "Day" phase of the game and then there is the "Night" phase of the game. During the Day phase of the game, any player that is actively playing this game is allowed to post in the game thread. During this time they may discuss who they think is the mafia and vote to lynch who they think is the mafia. Voting is an extremely important power because when a player has accumulated a majority of the votes, they will be lynched! Lynching removes people from the game and they can no longer talk in the thread. When the player is lynched everyone will be shown their flip. A flip is what their role and alignment was in the game. The Day Phase of the game will then end and thus move into the next phase.
The other phase is the Night phase of the game where no one is allowed to post in the thread and it becomes really quiet. During this phase the Mafia members are still allowed to talk amongst each other however outside of the thread. The mafia will then discuss during the phase whom they would like to kill. During this phase as well, Town PRs(Power Roles) are able to use their abilities to help them find scum as well in many different ways. When the mafia kill goes through, there will then be a flip at the beginning of the day stating that someone has been killed! This means they have been removed from the game as well and can no longer post in the thread.
The phases continue until either one of two things happens.
1.) All the mafia have been eliminated in some fashion.
or
2.) The mafia either equals the number of townspeople or they outnumber the number of townspeople.
The flavour of this game is based on Organization XIII and the characters that represent the evil organization from Kingdom Hearts II and other games.

Mafia Goon, This is the basic VT(Vanilla Townie) for the mafia side. They usually do most of the killing.
Mafia Roleblocker, They have the ability to send in Roleblock: TigerWoods and they can stop them from doing anything if they have a PR.
Both of the mafia members have the ability to send the Night Kill by sending the command Kill: Tandora
Town Cop, They have the ability to investigate people and see if they are Innocent or Guilty. Innocent = Town. Guilty = Mafia. The command for this is Investigate: Ryker.
Town Doctor, They have the ability to protect people from the Night Kill. The command is Protect: Gheb_01. If the mafia choose to target the person that gets protected, there will be no kill during the night and no one will die.
Town Deputy, They are a back-up role. If the cop were to ever die, they would gain the cops abilities of investigations. Otherwise they are a normal Vanilla Townie till then.
Town Nurse, They are a back up role. If the doc were to ever die, they would gain the doc's abilities to protect people. Otherwise they are a normal Vanilla Townie till then.
Town Vanilla (VT), They are a just a normal role. They have no special power besides the power of their voice and the power of their vote.[/collapse]
[collapse=Rules]Fundamentals
1.) Have fun with this game! Keep any and all personal attacks out.
2.) Once you die, you may make one "Bah go town/mafia!" post.
3.) No communication about this game is allowed with non-players or players who are dead, even if you yourself are dead. (If you are dead, you may not discuss the game with anyone who is currently playing, even if you could while you were alive, unless your role specifically states otherwise.)
4.) Unless your role PM specifically allows you the power, you are not to communicate with anyone about this game outside of this game thread. This includes posting content outside of the game thread and linking to it in the game thread.
5.) There is no editing of your posts. Instead of editing use EBWOP: (edit by way of post) which is simply double posting. You can post as many times as you would like! Just don't edit any of them.
6.) I have the right to deny/allow anyone to sign up for this game.
7.) You are not allowed to quote any mod communication of any kind, real or fake. You must paraphrase all information you wish to claim. This includes any additional PMs I may send to you outside of your role PM. You are not allowed to post or refer to any images in your role PM, nor may you post metadata about mod PMs in an attempt to break the game (e.g., message ID in the URL, time of day the message was sent, etc.).
8.) You may not post screenshots of any kind.
9.) The use of non-English, invisible, hidden, coded, or otherwise intentionally hidden or indecipherable text is strictly prohibited. (Spoiler tags are allowed because they are easily noticeable. This rule is not meant to disallow breadcrumbing within the visible text of a message.)
10.) You may not quote logs of communication with other players. You are free to paraphrase.
11.) If you fail to send me your night action, no action will occur!
12.) Failing to follow the rules will result in a forced-replacement or modkill up to my discretion.
Voting/Lynching
1.) Each Day, you may vote for a player to be lynched using a bold vote command. For example, Vote: Sephiroths Masamune
2.) To unvote, use the command unvote. For example, Unvote, Vote: WashedLaundry
3.) No lynch is a viable lynch choice and a majority will end the Day without a lynch. For example, Vote: No Lynch.
4.) After the majority lynch has been decided but before the lynch scene is posted, there will be a Twilight phase. Everyone can post in this phase, including the lynch majority target. The Twilight phase ends when I post the lynch scene and officially begin the Night phase.
5.) The Day will end when a majority lynch is decided or a preset deadline has been reached. If deadline is reached without a majority lynch decided, there will be no lynch.
6.) There is no posting in this thread during the Night phase, the thread should be closed anyway.
Activity and Deadline
1.) You are required to post every 48 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded. An accumulation of too many prods (however much I think that is) will result in your replacement or a modkill depending on the circumstances. When feasible, I will tell you if I'm considering replacing/modkilling you if feasible. If you will be inactive for an extended period of time, you must notify me in advance. Unexcused or particularly long absences may result in your replacement or modkill.
2.) I do not expect to grant deadline extensions, barring extenuating circumstances. In the event I need to replace a player, I may extend the deadline to accommodate the new player. Certain game events may also result in a change of deadline.
3.) Days will generally last 7-10 days.
4.) Nights will generally last approximately 48 hours. If you have a Night action and do not wish to use it, please send me a PM to that effect, lest I have to wait until the deadline for naught.
Game-specific
1.) The game mod is the game god. However, if you feel the game god happens to be testing your faith by placing an error in the game, then please feel free to point it out via PM. Gova is also the game-god and can do anything I can do.
2.) All roles are assigned entirely at random.
3.) Modkills only end days if the player being modkilled is town-aligned. Otherwise, day continues. In the event that a player is modkilled during twilight/night, the modkill will affect the next day phase (meaning that day would automatically end if the player is town and that day would continue as normal if otherwise). Exceptions to this rule may be made based on the state of the game and my personal judgment.
4.) All of these rules are written on a dry erase board. In the event of a conflict between these rules and any game-specific rules or mod communication, the game-specific rules/mod communication take precedence.
5.) No player may post in the colors DarkOrchid or Silver. Those are the mod and co-mods colors and will be used to clarify things.[/collapse]

Hello _______! Welcome to Newbie 13: Organization XIII Mafia! You are Number XIV Xion, Town Vanilla! You do not have any fancy title because you are just used as a literal puppet. In fact you are pretty much useless and not even considered a real member of Organization XIII so that is why you are not in this game. However I love you enough to put you as the Sample Role PM.
You are a Town Vanilla so you have no other powers besides your voice and vote! Use them wisely.
