Mafia is generally played between two teams: Civilians and Mafia. The civilians are the main group, and they enjoy the advantage of being a majority. Every day, the civilians post in the thread to discuss who is likely to be mafia, and place a vote on who they think is being scummy (a.k.a. mafia-like or anti-civilian). One thing to note is that your Voting Total signifies the total of votes placed on you, and Voting Power stands for how many votes you actually place on someone when you vote on them (everyone has a standard Voting Power of 1). At the end of the day the host tallies up all the votes and considers all skills affecting the voting; the person with the most votes on them is killed (termed as lynching), and all their info is revealed. Then Night falls...
That’s when the mafia come in. The Mafia are a minority of players who know each other’s identity. Their job is to eliminate all the other players using deception and Nightkills. They interact with the town during the day, trying to mislead them away from lynching any mafia members. When night falls, Mafia discusses in secret and chooses a person to kill (termed as Nightkill). Also during the night the civilians use their roles. The two most noteworthy roles that are usually included in some form are the cop, who investigates other players to find their allegiance, and the medic, who can protect a specific player from any Nightkills for that night.
The Civilians win when whenever they manage to eliminate all the Mafia members. Mafia wins when their combined Voting Power is enough to control the vote entirely, i.e. if all Mafia members vote on the same Civilian and all Civilians vote on a Mafia member, the Civilian will be lynched.
General Mafia Rules
1. Do not post, chat, OR PM ANY revealing information if you have been killed/removed from this mafia. You are allowed one death post that contains no information or commentary about the players.
2. You are not allowed to edit or remove your post. Instead, EBWOP will take effect. This means you must post again with the correct fixes.
3. Directly quoting or providing proof in any way of any PM sent by the host will result in an instant modkill and referral to the FGO.
4. You are not allowed to directly quote any PM sent by another player, unless you are quoting it to a fellow mafia member confirmed by the host.
5. You are not allowed to request to be modkilled in the thread. If you PM the host requesting to be modkilled, the host must find a substitute or modkill you at the end of the phase.
6. All players' actions should be primarily motivated by winning the game. Throwing the game or outing your teammates for no strategic value is not allowed.
7. The host has the final say in any dispute. Do not impersonate the host.
8. Any flaming/trolling will not be tolerated.
9. Players' actions should be motivated by this game's events solely. You may look at past mafias to determine behaviors for better reads, but keep personal affairs out of the game.
10. Anything said within the context of the game, including promises, bets, etc, stays within the game. Players can lie, deceive, and manipulate, (but not cheat) in any way they like. Slander within the context of the game is usually not meant as a personal offense.
Breaking any of the above rules may result in a modkill as determined by the host, or a ban from future mafias or forum games in general as determined by the Forum Game Organizer.
You are all aboard a ship out zee, it’s been months since the crew has seen land, and many are restless. One night, many are growing weary of the constant zee and taste of salt. One suggests a mutiny amid the grumble and all fall silent. After a moment, he chuckles softly and claims it’s a foolhardy thought. An hour later the captain is found dead on the deck. A note is pegged to the message board “The Silent Mutineers Call”. The coal is missing, likely thrown out to zee, and the crew is fearful. Either the mutineers will be ousted, or they will kill their way into control of the ship. Only time will tell.

Demagog is right, in the current set the Adventuress officer is OP. When I first wanted the role to be a thing, the game had a lottttt of vote manipulation, but in its current set, with only a single /real/ vote manipulation role, its improbable to find balance with it. I'll either cut it within the hour (We only have 10 or so people ATM) or... well, thats the likely scenario at this time.
Its quiet tonight, the waves splash against the side of the boat peacefully. The plume of smoke and flames erupting from D2d's room quickly ended that peace. By the time the crew could calm the flames, there was nothing left of Dawn, but ash and dust. Fortunately for the mutineers, a fire on a boat is a tremendous amount of noise and chaos. In fact, not a soul noticed kuros absence, but later that night, a few did notice the now dead kuro hanging from ceiling in the Doctors Quarters.
D2D is Ash and Dust
Kuro was a Loyal Zailor and Disillusioned Doctor: (Passive) Gain .5 Vote Power every time someone is lynched.
MessageBoard:
Arrrr! Ya thought ye could silence me? Ye can cut out me tongue, but I still know how to write, ya pox faced blowfish.
So ye all know I'm no mutineer now, so that be swell. But just 'cause the scarred sister is known to all the Zailors don't mean I know any more than any of you, ye worm riddled rapscallions. Ye still gotta do the thinkin' on your own, too.
If the Zailor known as "Linkcat" is right about N1's NK, I be inclined to agree with him. anti seems a bit off his rocker, too, so don't think that just 'cause he sounds like a Zailor that he can't be a mutineer, too.
If I survive to see another bloody sunrise, lemme know if ye have any questions I can answer on the bulletin board in the morrow. But so far my reads have been scurvy infested, so git to it on your own, ye mermaid marrying galley slaves.
- The only confirmed Zailor

The Day is Over
Below are my reads/my analysis from right before I posted my read-list for w3 at the end of last day phase. In yellow are updates after finding out that anti was mafia. In turquoise are post-game thoughts.

Bandwagoned with rob against fabian > possibly newb mistake if he's teamed up w/ rob
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255548/#msg1255548
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255575/#msg1255575
Asks about # of mafia / says thanks when finds out > Neutral read - could be town asking b/c we didn't know or mafia asking b/c they know it'll come out eventually and might as well get "town" credit for being the one to ask
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255679/#msg1255679
Votes w/ gino vs Kuro > rob hasn't voted yet, doesn't vote with Link. Looks kinda bad since Kuro was NK'd the next night.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255687/#msg1255687
First one to point out my "condition" > Neutral read - I'm not convinced mafia knew why their kill didn't go through until after I "revealed" it via repeated random votes
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255786/#msg1255786
"Anyway, I think Kuro has a reasonable response, although if he is lying about his primary role but telling the truth about his officer role, that role is going to just wipe us out later. So I'm not changing my vote because he's still making me nervous."
> A fair point, but again, Kuro getting NK'd the next night does make this look bad.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255956/#msg1255956
Doesn't know why dawn's primary role isn't revealed - Neutral read (again) b/c he could be scum w/ rob and playing dumb or just be town and not know yet (I didn't either at this point).
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255970/#msg1255970
Most revealing post so far. Puts w3 and Link as his suspected scum. The most likely scenarios are rob/anti and Link/w3 being on the same teams, one way or the other.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255473/#msg1255473
First notable post. Votes on rob with no evidence because Linkcat. If scum, he voted away from teammate (or teammate hadn't voted yet).
Voted away from anti
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255531/#msg1255531
Neutral read. Doesn't seem like Link to miss a mafia deadline, but he has seemed busier IRL lately, so hard to say.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255602/#msg1255602
"Anyone townreading rob right now is underestimating him." > This caught my attention at the time and again looking back on it. Combined with his D1 vote, looks more and more like he's not on the same team as rob.
I have this running theory that rob and Link are teamed up and seeing how much they can get away with before anyone suspects their on the same team. Give themselves a challenge, so to speak. Have rob take charge as "town-lead" and Link undermine him every step of the way. It'd be bold, especially since they've voted on each other multiple times (though neither has really been close to getting lynched). The hard part about this theory is that it's hard to get a read either way. They're either not on the same team or doing a good job of playing that role. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to play the odds and let them pull this one on us if it is true just b/c statistically it's more likely that they're not on the same team.
Thankfully this wasn't the case :D

Realizes how I've been affected by N1 NK attempt. Same as anti - neutral read.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255752/#msg1255752
So hard to read this guy. Kuro getting killed on N2 and flipping town makes this look bad, but I recall Link doing this kind of thing before as town. Would be a dumb move by Mafia, I think, to "predict" someone flipping town when they know it's true. It all comes back to WIFOM, of course, but I don't think Link would put himself in that position.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255844/#msg1255844
Here we go! Link goes full tilt against rob and never lets up. He draws a clear line in the sand even a bit early that puts rob/anti together and (in Link's mind) clears w3. Here's what throws me - why anti? Why not w3? Even with an investigative role he wouldn't know w3's primary role yet. Definitely shady, imo. Would love to have had him explain why anti over w3 (or even Kuro or dawn at that point).
Strong town lean for this. Would have been dangerous to point out his own teammate in this way. I still want an answer on why anti over w3
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255847/#msg1255847
Explains why he thinks dawn is town, but doesn't really help in reading him.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255973/#msg1255973
Hangs it all on the rob/anti team again. Votes for rob, even though I already voted on anti. Not really sure why, unless he's wanting to get the more experienced mafia player lynched first and assumes I'll follow suit and switch my vote to go with him.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1256019/#msg1256019
Wait. Now I'm voting with him on rob and he switches to vote on anti? I'm so confused. Doesn't help me read him b/c town or scum, this is weird.
I mean, at least he's voting on anti who turned out to be scum. Solid town read.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255420/#msg1255420
First town-y post. Kind of. Pushes for a lynch over no lynch. The scummy part of this is that he pushes a little too hard. It's one thing to OMGUS fabian for no lynch voting, but to suggest that fabian is scum for suggesting it? These forums have a history of pushing for no lynch on D1 until very recently, so I don't think it's scummy at all and I feel like rob should know that too.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255422/#msg1255422
Asks anti about the no lynch thing. If he's teamed up with him, this is a good way to give the impression they're separate. On its own, no read. But combined with other stuff, it fits the rob/anti narrative.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255466/#msg1255466

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255474/#msg1255474
Pushing for activity. Town-y, but rob can get away with this kind of playing even as scum. Initially I read him as town for this, though.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255498/#msg1255498
Some yummy reads. anti is slightly Zailor. Link and w3 are null.
Reading anti as more town than Link and w3 doesn't help his case.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255508/#msg1255508
Doesn't like lynching low/no posters. Okay, noted.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255509/#msg1255509
Puts pressure on w3 for not posting enough. Wants me to join him b/c I'm the only other active player. If he's town, that's a weird play b/c I would think he'd be more suspicious of me possibly being mafia. As mafia, how great is it to get a town player to join you on the lynch? In hindsight, this is a scummy post.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255517/#msg1255517
Calls w3 scummy for not responding until he got voted on.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255519/#msg1255519
NOW he's suspicious of me for sheeping him. Why now when he actively called me out to join him in his vote?
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255538/#msg1255538
Another read list. w3 has moved to Zailor lean for the very reason he called him scummy a fews posts before (???). anti has moved to null, joining where he'd later put Link at this point (b/c he accidentally left him off at this point).
Why did you move anti from slightly-Zailor to null?
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255584/#msg1255584
Calls out anti for asking/thanking about the # of mafia in the game. First post that doesn't fit the rob/anti narrative, but defo could be rob's good mafia playing.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255587/#msg1255587
"Hmm, a lot of reliance on activity / post-count it feels like in your list here UTA." > This fits his post about not wanting to lynch no/low posters.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255597/#msg1255597
Just another town-y post trying to get people to be active and explain their actions. Again, my initial read was that this looked like town, but I don't want to underestimate him.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255599/#msg1255599
First time he calls himself out as NK 1 target. No read, really, except that it gives the subliminal message that he's town b/c he's claiming he'll be NK'd by mafia. Could go either way, but with the filter of him being the most likely mafia member left in the game at this point, it does look sketch.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255603/#msg1255603
Okay, so this is a towny post. But it also just fits in the rob/Link banter.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255685/#msg1255685
Finally realizes why I can't talk. No read, but worth noting that rob and anti were the first to notice it (or call it out).
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255692/#msg1255692
Hmm, kinda scummy. How *would* I know who targeted me unless I targeted myself? And wouldn't that be juicy info to give mafia? Kill the protector if they're still out there. I missed this at the time, but this stands out as super scummy.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255698/#msg1255698
Calls out for Cannoner (himself) to kill dawn. Would love to hear why he thinks that's better than lynching him. Goes against everything he said about not lynching no/low posters, it seems. Except that he says this would be better without explaining why.
To be more clear: rob, why is 1U killing a 0-poster better than lynching one?
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255805/#msg1255805
Joins my vote without explanation. This is sketch. Also, side note - he gave me two options and then asked me to answer yes/no >.<
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255840/#msg1255840
Okay, so he missed the deadline, that's fine. But why did he switch to gino in the first place? And he wanted Kuro lynched, then Kuro gets NK'd. Obviously this argument doesn't hold up too long since multiple people voted on him at some point (everyone alive except w3), but still worth noting.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255845/#msg1255845
He could have misinterpreted Link here, but this was the first time I started seriously considering rob as scum. I clearly understood what Link meant and rob jumped on him and held on tight like this was some huge and obvious mistake. Strangely, he never pushed very hard for Link to get lynched even with this.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255886/#msg1255886
Starts harassing w3. One of the (many) posts that makes me think they're not on a mafia-team together.
Heh, turns out this was right. Go figure.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255891/#msg1255891
Link and anti are neutral. Throws shade on w3. I find it really interesting (and hard to decipher) that he never pushes Link more despite some posts about Link looking scummy.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255951/#msg1255951
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255952/#msg1255952
Innocent mistake or is he scum and knows that dawn is town and slipped up? *insert ascii shrug guy here*
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255960/#msg1255960
Finally votes on Link. Though his reasoning is like before - not based on anything nearly as solid as he makes it out to be.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1255963/#msg1255963
Again, assumes dawn is town, while we really don't know either way.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1256001/#msg1256001
Wait. Now he wonders why we didn't push for a lynch against dawn? After he specifically said we *shouldn't* lynch anyone for that reason? Flip flopping looks bad. On the other hand, I'm not sure what he gained as mafia by claiming to have killed dawn when he could have kept silent and left dawn's killer unknown. That part definitely doesn't fit the rob-as-mafia narrative.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1256003/#msg1256003
He actually makes a great point here. If w3 is on mafia with anyone-but-rob, waiting to put his vote with me is a safe bet b/c then he's siding with the only confirmed townie.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1256006/#msg1256006
Wait, what? Why? rob should know better than to throw shade on someone (anti) and not give any reasons. And now he's doing what he criticized w3 for.
rob: Why did you suspect anti? And why didn't you vote on him?
This is what had me convinced he was mafia. If he had voted on anti and/or given reasons for suspecting him, this would have been a pretty big town-post once anti flipped mafia.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1256043/#msg1256043
I don't get why he thought I was nearly-convinced he was town. 75-80%? Because he posts a lot? Eh.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1256049/#msg1256049
Makes the argument that I have the most trouble reconciling with him being mafia. I don't understand why he'd announce that he killed dawn as mafia. :/
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-66-by-killsdazombies/msg1256070/#msg1256070
Starts leaning aa toward town again. The only time he seems suspicious of him, he doesn't actually vote on him and doesn't give reasoning.
Ha. This now makes him look SUPER scummy.
*facepalm*

First time he butts heads with rob. 99.9% sure he's on not on mafia-team with rob. His vote on fabian doesn't really help his case either way b/c it would be a tie vote no matter where he put it, so he wasn't deciding who would die but that he would live. If I do take that into account, though, I'm still kinda stuck. He doesn't want to vote with Link if they're scum together, so anyone else is a safe bet.
Make that 100% (b/c anti).

Ooh, a reads list. No read on anti. Linkcat: "He's a good player, so probably wanna keep him for now." Fasho shady. And ofc he's suscpicious of rob.
No read on anti doesn't help or hurt him at this point.
"However, my general rule of thumb is one of the mafia is atleast quite active." - Kinda town-y, I think. If he's teamed up with Link or anti, then he's the "active" one of the team, making this a damning statement. WIFOM, ofc, but would be bold to say this about himself.
*facepalm*

"Any reasons there link? Also, Kuro, Dawn, anti, just tell us what you think so far, what your reads are and all. It will be a massive help."
No read, but noteworthy that he asked Link for his reasons. Good mafia play or sincere town play.
This becomes a "no-read" post now that Link & w3 can't both be mafia.

Same as above - if he's teamed up with anti as scum, this is good mafia play. Otherwise they're sincerely not on scum team together.

More suspicion of rob. Still hasn't voted on him yet.

Votes on dawn. No read here, except that he specifically didn't vote on rob (???).

Town-y post. "Gut feeling" seems dangerous to use as your reasoning if you're scum. If he looked shady overall, this would feel scummy.

Suspicion on rob, thinks Link is neutral. Fits the rob/anti and Link/w3 narrative.

A bunch of posts going after rob.

Says he will vote on rob or anti, waits to see where I'm gonna go with my vote. Not sure about that, except that he seems town-y otherwise. Would have liked him to have put his vote down and been willing to change where he put it if I didn't go along.
Still helps his case that he suspected anti.
I still don't get why he didn't vote on Link at the end of this Day phase. Too committed to follow my lead to risk exposing himself? But killing Link there wins the game, right?

Votes on rob after I do.

Makes a good point about me not being convinced there's no solid case against rob. Overall a pretty town-y post, I think. No single post makes me think he's town, but a lot of little things make me lean that way.

Asks for my reads. He seems to be going along with whoever I vote on. In hindsight I wish I had put Link on top and seen if he'd go along. But at this point I think he's town and that makes rob/anti seem likely the mafia team.
Ultimately, he voted for anti, being the swing vote that got him killed. Strong town lean for this.
See above. I know it ended up working out, but only b/c of the poison that he didn't know was used. Without that, the game comes down to whether Link could convince me to vote on w3 during the next day phase.
