The rules backing mafia are very simple, but the games can get quite complex.

×Long:
This is a 24 player game. Signups close at Local Time:01-27-2006 at 01:00 AM (In negative 951 weeks, 6 days). After the signup period is complete, the 24 players will be randomly selected. In the unlikely event of too few players, signups will be extended in 24-hour blocks.
In the game of Mafia, there will be 6 Mafiates, one Bodyguard, one Police Officer, and 16 Citizens. Roles will be randomly selected and you will be PMed them prior to the start of the game. No one except Mafiates may communicate outside this thread, on pain of replacement and/or modkilling (i.e. you get booted from this game).
The game will be divided into Day and Night. In order to ensure a timely pace, a night will never be more than 48 hours, and a day never more than 288 (For a maximum period of two weeks per Day/Night). Every night, the mafiates will confer on who to kill. In case of a disagreement, the leader (who will be replaced if he dies) will always get the final choice. The leader will then PM me the target. The Bodyguard and the Police Officer will also PM me targets. The Bodyguard's target cannot die that night, and the Police Officer will learn the alignment of his target. No one can post in the thread during Night. Night will end at the deadline or when all targets have been received. If a target is not chosen, then it will be decided at random.
During the Day, the previous night's kill (if any) will be made public, and the discussion and lynch will start. During discussion, anyone may post about whatever they feel like. During the Day, bold a statment saying Vote: Mike Rimer (Or whoever else it is you wish to vote for) simply Unvote: Erik. You cannot change your vote without unvoting first. As soon as majority (of the populus, not the votes) is reached, voting closes, and the chosen person shall be lynched. If the deadline is reached, the lynching majority will decrease by 1 every 4 hours until someone has majority. If two people would get it as a result, the first one to have reached majority is lynched. During the Night following a lynch, the dead player will be allowed a final speech. They will have a minimum of 24 hours in which to do so.
After anyone dies, the town will find out what role they served.
The town will win if the mafia are entirely removed, and the mafia will win if they form and least 50% of the living population.
Anyone who does not get selected or is unable to post during signups will be a replacement. If a player is inactive for too long, they may be replaced, or if they request to be.

Remember, this game is a diplomacy. Lie. Tell the truth. Run for Prime Minister. I don't care. Just don't ask me to change the rules.

. What happens if someone doesn't vote before the end of the Day, and there's no majority without this vote ? (Well, I guess we can worry about that if it ever happens ..).
