“Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a social  game created in the USSR modelling a conflict between an informed populace, the mafia, and an uninformed populace, the innocents”
== Premise ==
The game, in its original and most simple form, is played with two teams: The mafia and the innocents. At the start of the game, the roles are distributed and the mafia players become aware of the identity of the teammates (while the town is only aware of how many mafia there are). Each player is also given a role, meaning that players can be cops, vigilantes, ors, etc.
There are two main phases: Night and Day. At Night, the mafia will have the opportunity to talk privately with each other and kill one player. During Day, all players debate over the last events and LYNCH one player by voting on who they want to get lynched, majority wins. Specific roles are able to use their powers during either Night or Day.  If you die, you can send the GM a PM containing your will, which usually lists your findings you discovered with your role to help out your remaining teammates. 
If, at one point, all mafia is dead, every member of the town (including dead members) win. However, if, at any point, the number of mafia players alive is equal or bigger than the remaining players, then the mafia wins since the town cannot lynch them anymore. However, Mafia doesn’t win due to that majority clause if the town can still break out of it via some use of a mechanic they still control. For example, if, after a lynch, there are two mafia and three town, the mafia would usually automatically win since killing one more town would make them equal however, it doesn’t end if there is still a bulletproof alive.
Mafia’s a very flexible game, and hosts can add all sorts of modifications to it: such as creating third party alignments, new roles or even new phases and mechanics. The game host will be responsible for creating and making sure each of those mechanics work smoothly. It is recommended to use a PiratePad for If a GM botches, remember that we’re all human and being harsh to each other is unnecessary.Category:Games
