Thanks to Pedro for the banner, and Lone_Prodigy for the title!​

Hi hi, everyone, and welcome to our new Official Thread! This is our sixth season in here, and we're ready with more games of deception and murder for you!

If you were ever curious about the Mafia game and wanted to give it a shot, jump in! Our community is friendly and welcoming, and you'll surely make friends along the way, and we have help and support for new players interested in getting into mafia.

Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a famous social deduction game pitting two teams against each other: Town and Mafia. Mafia players know who everyone in their team is, while Town players only know their own alignment.

The game is divided in two phases: Day and Night. During the Day, all players discuss and decide on someone to voted out of the game. During the Night, the Mafia secretly chooses another person to be removed.

Town wins when all the Mafia players are gone, and Mafia wins when they match or outnumber the Town players.

Playing a game with us is very simple. When we are accepting signups for a game, all you have to do is fill out this form and post it as a reply to this thread. New players always get priority!

If you wish, you can request a mentorship from one of our veteran players to guide you through your first game (more on that in the following posts).

Please use other players' indicated pronouns when provided. We want our community to be inclusive, and we take this seriously.

A Mafia game is a significant time commitment. Our games can take about a month to play, and you'll be expected to post and contribute to the ongoing discussion to help your team win.

Finally, don't forget to follow ResetEra's ToS and Member Etiquette. Though this is a game about lies and deception and things can get heated, this is just a game at the end of the day and we're all here to have fun.

But most importantly, welcome! Through various games, gambits, jokes, wins, losses, upsets, betrayals and triumphs we have formed a community of individuals who have become something like a family. We hope you will join us in our love of this game and give it a shot. You never know what might happen.

- The MafiEra Facilitators (CaptainNuevo, Dr. Monkey, Fireblend, Natiko, Pedro, and Sawneeks)​

Mafia Championships
Beginning in 2016 our community has been invited to the annual Mafia Championships hosted by Mafia Universe. Over 225 different forum mafia communities have participated in this event with hundreds of different players over the years. Representing us in these games are:
  • Sorian, who played in Season 3, Game 5; then the Final Game and got 4th place!
  • Ty4on and Natiko played in Season 4, Game 8!
  • Dr. Monkey with CaptainNuevo as a back-up! Monkey has played in Season 5, Game 7, in Wildcard Game 2, and in the finals!
  • Our latest champion: Faddy played in Season 6, Game 4!
Mentorship program
For new and returning players who would like some assistance, we offer a mentorship program where a volunteer veteran player can assist you during a game. These mentors can not play the game for you or answer direct questions such as 'who should I vote for?' but can help with mafia terminology, general strategy, and other minor questions. You and your mentor will be given a private thread on Outer Mafia to talk with one another and we do not make these threads public after the game has ended unless requested. If you are interested in requesting a mentor, please contact your gamerunner.

For veteran players, if you would like to offer your assistance to the mentorship program please contact Sawneeks, or let us know in this thread. Do note, mentors are not allowed to play in the same game where they are mentoring a player.

I don't know if it's correct, but at least it should be negative since it's to the west 😅 cappa's link above should help

(also i'm curious about how your game is going, i'll message you two later :o)

LOL I think I have it now? I had no idea what I was doing though which is why i was a bit wary about us having to list UTC, but I think it's okay now. According to that app mine is UTC-7 but only during Day light Savings time. :/

(Lol I look forward to it.)

Just because we know how to google doesn't mean we understand timezones :p

I have to find out what my timezone even is when it isn't day light savings :/

This is why we need to kill day light savings time.

Yes. I'll give a quick overview:

NON DST:

GMT = UTC +0
CET = UTC +1
EST = UTC -5
PST = UTC -8

New Zealand is a bit of an odd one because according to google, DST started on the 29th of September until April. Also says it's GMT+13 now.

So uhh

NYT = UTC+13 (currently?)

During DST, just move it forward so 0 to 1, 1 to 2, etc.

Sorry to NYT folks, I've not worked with your timezone much so I still need to google it to be sure about stuff but since supposedly they just started DST, I don't have to worry about it until April haha.

If I'm wrong about anything, feel free to correct me.

Oh and finally:

DST ends in the UK on the 27th of October and in the US on 3rd of November

Just so we're all aware :)
