There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space, and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow - between science and superstition. And it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

PAN DOWN until we are shooting at an angle toward the tree-lined, quiet, residential American street, the kind of street that exists in memory and fiction. Typical, whatever that means. The houses have front porches on which people sit and swing, conversing with neighbors as children run for the ice cream truck. Everything is beautiful. Idyllic. Every day, things are just as serene. It's the American Dream. But something is about to happen. At the sound of the roar and the flash of light, it will be precisely 5 PM EDT (9 PM UTC) on Maple Street.

    What Is Mafia?

    Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a famous social deduction game that puts 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. Cut into two 'Phases', Day and Night, the game entails Town trying to eliminate the Mafia via discussion and voting while the Mafia are trying to not get caught in order to match or outnumber the Town in order to win.

    Interested in joining or learning more? Check out our MafiEra OT!

    Fundamentals:
    1. All site-wide rules apply here.
    2. Unless explicitly told otherwise, players may not discuss this game outside of this thread.
    3. Unless explicitly told otherwise, players may not directly quote or post screenshots of any PMs, posts, conversations, or any other type of document that was not made in this thread.
    4. Players are allowed to lie, within reason, about any game-related material such as the content of a role PM.
    5. Please respect all of your fellow players. We ask that you respect a player's personal pronouns and be aware of accessibility when using non-default text formatting. Please do not refer to, or discuss, player activity outside of this thread, for the sake of the game's integrity.
    6. Mafia can be an intense and stressful game at times with situations becoming heated. Despite this, being overly hostile towards your fellow players is not allowed. If a player is caught name calling, using slurs, and/or other aggressive behaviors determined by the Gamerunner they will be warned. If these behaviors continue despite the warning that player will be modkilled. No exceptions.

    Activity:
    7. Players are required to post a minimum of 10 posts per day phase. Failure to adhere to this will first result in a warning. On the second offense that player will be removed from the game.
    8. If a player posts fewer than 5 posts in a day phase without alerting the Gamerunner to their absence, they will be removed from the game without a warning.
    9. If you are unable to continue playing for whatever reason, please contact your Gamerunner.
    10. If a replacement is added to the game, they may request the current/upcoming night phase to be extended up-to 48 hours to allow time to catch up

    Voting and Lynching:
    11. In order to vote for another player to be lynched, you must present it on its own line and in the following format with no spaces: [ HIGHLIGHT ]VOTE: playername[ /HIGHLIGHT ]. Misspelt votes are only accepted within reason. Any other format will not be accepted.
    12. To remove a vote from a player, you may simply vote for another player, or you may present it on its own line and in the following format with no spaces: [ HIGHLIGHT ]UNVOTE[ /HIGHLIGHT ].
    13. Players may vote for a "No Lynch" to end the day phase without a lynch. This is done by using the formatting above and typing: [ HIGHLIGHT ]VOTE: No Lynch[ /HIGHLIGHT ].
    14. When a player has received a strict majority of available votes (>50%), the day phase ends with the lynch of that player. Once a day phase has ended any in-game discussion stops and votes cast after that will not be counted.

    Death and the Spectator Thread:
    15. Once you are dead, you may no longer discuss the game in any manner with any of the remaining players.
    16. Once dead, players may have a choice between the spectator thread and the replacement list. PM your Gamerunner for more information.

    Other:
    17. Outside of explicit allowances the use of the highlight tag is strictly for Gamerunners. Do not use it.
    18. Do not edit your posts or hide content in the formatting. Repeat offenders will be removed from the game.
    19. If a player is Banned or they are replaced due to inactivity they will have the lowest possible priority when signing up for a spot in their next game.
    20. Gamerunners reserve the right to add, remove, or modify existing any rules at any point, and enforcement may be applied retrospectively. However, all players will be informed of changes beforehand.

    PMs going out slowly - I'm learning OM tools at the same time so things are not quick and may, uh, sometimes break. Temporarily.

    Let's make this game One for the Angels.

    All PMs are out! And I have lots of favorite eps, which means I will make more games. But this one was perfect for mafia.

    Can I get a black and white Avatar? I know it doesn't have much color, but Kermit is still green... and I have no skills to do it myself.

    Poor Gene.
    I'll keep my color, thanks.

    The world, after all, was black-and-white until 1956, okay I forget the rest of the joke.

    Remember to have a fun time, everyone.

    It's only a game about killing and lying to each other, after all

    But really the original Twilight Zone (at least 4 of the seasons last I checked) is on Netflix and can be found there. I haven't watched the one linked above but uhh... brief looks are not good.

    It's not on Netflix UK. The only place i can find it is on Amazon but it's not on Prime either. I might just buy and watch that episode.
