Everything was normal, when you fell asleep. All your things were in place, and your life was just as it had been. But then you woke up to a technicolor sky, lying on flat ground made of tessellating blue hexagons that stretched endlessly into the distance. There is nothing around you, save for a single, glassy orb. When you touch it, it glows bright, shining a beam into the distance. Something internal tells you that you should follow the light.
And as you begin to walk, the sky shifts, turning a deep blue. Words form in large white letters:

Hello everyone, welcome to my game! This is going to be a daystart vanilla game, meaning that there will be few roles, and that most players will have no special ability. Additionally, the game will start on day 1, instead of night 0, and that there will be potential to vote out a player before any night actions happen.
If you are unfamiliar with Mafia, here’s how it works (thanks Negrek for the wonderful writeup!):
1. Players are assigned to either mafia or innocent factions. The mafia know the members of their own team, and they may freely communicate with each other outside of the game thread. The innocents do not know the alignments of any of the other players, and they can interact only by posting in the game thread at designated times.
2. The game proceeds in a series of "day" phases and "night" phases.
During the day, all players are "awake" and able to post in the game thread. Players discuss who they think the mafia are based on other users' posts or what they believe may have happened at night. Ultimately this leads to players voting on which person should be sent to jail. If the jailed player turns out to have been a member of the mafia, the innocents are one step closer to winning--but if they guess wrong, they'll only help the mafia in their quest to eliminate the innocents.
At night, the mafia choose one player to make disappear. They're free to talk with each other, plan, and strategize. The innocent players cannot communicate during the night phase, but some of them may have a special ability that they can use during the night instead.
3. The game continues until either the mafia make up the majority of remaining players (meaning that they can control all day-votes) or the innocents successfully jail all of the mafia.
If you'd like more details, check out this beginner's guide to Mafia, which discusses how the game is played and some of the common terminology and player roles that are often used. You can also take a look at other games in the Celadon Game Corner to get a sense of how things will work! As this is a vanilla game, roles will be limited. But depending on the size of the game, you may see the following:
The following roles may show up, depending on game size. However, there is no guarantee that all of them will show up. For more information on these roles, refer to the Mafia Scum wiki.
Goon
Villager
Cop
Doctor
Lovers/Masons
Bulletproof
Juggernaut/Strong Man
Serial Killer
Role Cop
I will not be revealing whether Mafia will be able to talk privately during the day phases, except obviously to the mafia themselves, so keep that uncertainty in mind. The mafia private talk will be hosted as a server on discord.
This game has a soft limit of 15 players. If one or two more than 15 sign up, then they’ll be added to the game. If there’s significantly more interest, then I can look into hosting two separate games.
It’s no fun when someone signs up and then doesn’t participate, and it’s not really fair to your team, no matter which side you’re on. As such, this game will implement a small participation requirement. All players are expected to make at least 1-2 posts per day phase. If you fail to post, you will be given a warning in your role pm. If you miss 2 day phases, I will seek out a substitute player to take your place. If no substitute can be found by the next day phase, you will be mod killed. I’ve made the requirements low so that new players, or players that have things come up can still reasonably participate.
Obviously, life happens though, unexpected things come up. If something happens and you don’t think you’re going to be able to participate after already signing up, get in contact with me and we can see about getting a sub. Or if you’re expecting to be able to play most of the time but will be missing one or two phases, consider signing up as a hydra with someone else! For an explanation of hydra accounts, see here.

- This is an RP-optional mafia using fanfic characters! If you would enjoy pretending to be your character, reasoning and reacting to the situation in the same way that they would, then please feel free to post in character as much as you'd like! You are also welcome to include as much out-of-character straight strategizing and discussion in your posts as you'd like. If you'd prefer to play without RPing at all, that's totally fine, though please post a character signup anyways for a basis for role flavor! Your character choice will be used to flavor your role but have no other impact on the game. In order to prevent confusion, please surround any out-of-character text in your posts with [[double square brackets]] to distinguish your words from your character's.
- Please remember that all roles and alignments will be assigned at random to players. This means that you shouldn't assume that anyone is a member of the mafia simply because their character is a villain in the story they came from! On the flip side, even very heroic characters may end up playing the bad guys here. Although the format of this mafia is very similar to the games I've held here in the past, nothing from the past setup is guaranteed to reappear this year. The specific roles present will be different, all roles and alignments are assigned independent of what happened in the previous game (e.g. a player having been innocent last time has no bearing on whether they will be innocent in this game), and some game mechanics may differ from previous incarnations. In general, be wary about making assumptions about the game based on what happened in previous years.
- In this game, each phase will last for 48 hours and begin at midnight UTC. However, if the player to be voted off at the end of the day phase was someone who had zero votes an hour before the end of the phase, the day phase will automatically be extended by twelve hours. This is intended to prevent feel-bad scenarios where someone doesn't even realize they're under suspicion and completely miss the chance to defend themselves or come back to the thread twenty minutes before the end of the phase and suddenly find themselves needing to somehow turn things around on an extremely tight schedule.
- Players have the option to end the day phase early. However, this will require a supermajority of 75% of players.
- On day 1 only, a tie will result in nobody being eliminated. After Day 1, a tie will result in the elimination of the first player that reached that number of votes. For example, if person A reaches 4 votes, and then person B reaches 4 votes, then person A will be eliminated. If person C reaches 4 votes, and then 4 votes are put towards No Elimination, then person C would be eliminated, while no one would be eliminated in the opposite situation.
We are currently in the sign up phase. Signups will be open until Friday, August 5th at midnight UTC (Thursday, August 4rd, 8PM EST). Day 0 rp will start 24 hours prior to that. I will be using this phase to get the back end set up. Day 1 will start Saturday, August 6th, at midnight UTC (Friday, August 5, 8PM EST). The thread will be briefly locked at this time while I send out role PMs, and then the game will begin. Please see this countdown for the exact time of signups closing.
If you are not interested in participating, but would like to spectate in the discord dead chat, feel free to ask.
If you have any questions prior to the start of the game, feel free to ask them in the signups thread or within

Information for Hydra players:
Hydra players can approach flavor in one of three ways:
- A single character.
- Two characters sharing a single body. If you chose to take this route, please provide the information for both characters, but list a single species for both.
- Two separate characters - provide information for both characters. Additionally, note the following flavor: the two characters wake up up in the same place, with only one orb between them. When one of them touches it, the other would feel a phantom sensation like they, too, are touching it, and they would both feel the call to follow the light.
