I'll post here since we got a few new players here. I am sending everyone to Helz's guide, in the Forum Mafia Guides section. To vote: [ v o t e ] insert player name here [ / v o t e ] without any spaces, unless the player name has spaces (like mine). It will appear like that:
-vote hip
. Bold red text DOES NOT make a real vote, even if it looks like one. You may see the vote count on the "Vote count" (how original, isn't it) when a thread has votes enabled. (this thread has no votes!)
Here, day 1 is actually used because it lasts 48h in most setups. Lynch is often possible on D1. Most leads are obtained via chat, not night actions. You can see: contradictions, pro-town activity (or lack of it), etc.
Be active! Inactivity killed many towns. Having 2 AFKs is highly damaging for a game, and having 3, especially if they are on the same team, simply ruins the game. So READ the game, post (not shitposts, pleaaase) and share your thoughts.
Pay attention to the game, and don't be scared of reading/posting wallposts (very long posts with many things included in them, often with multiquote (you can multiquote with the "+ thing), that can be used to ISO a player (put all his posts into one and comment each post), which is very useful to defend/get lynched someone).
The lynch bot (The Godfather) appears when a lynch occurs, shows vote count and closes the thread. The host then posts a timer to say when next day will start (and thread will open). "player is at L-#" means that the named player would be lynched if # more players were voting against him.
A last comment, but maybe the most important... READ THE SETUP!!!!!!!! It is absolutely necessary to understand which play style to adopt. Don't hesitate to ask host questions (
with green color and optionally with a [ MENTION ] host name [/ MENTION] tag) about the setup!
I hope this was useful to you and that you will appreciate your new game.
Glhf!
