Rain Rules:
The rules are slightly different in Rain Mafia, for instance, instead of being called Townies, You are called prisoner, and Mafia are called guards, and there are many roles, not just townies and mafia, but I won't spoil your fun Very Happy

Basics
Mafia is composed of two teams and a single Moderator. The Moderator
sets up the game, and randomly assigns each player to a team. The players are told what team they are
on (Townsfolk or Mafia) in private in a PM. If you are a Townie, you
will not know the role of any other player. All you will know is that
YOU are a townie, thats it. If you are assigned as Mafia, then you will
know who is else is Mafia, and then by process of elimination, you will know who is Townie.

The point of the game is to lynch/kill people until one team (Townie or
Mafia) is left standing. Because the Mafia know who else is Mafia, and
the Townies don't know who else is Townie, the Mafia start off
outnumbered by the Townies usually around 3:1 or 4:1. The Townies must
use logic, voting patterns of
others, and other small tells to figure out who is Mafia and who is
Townie. The Mafia, however, must plant seeds of doubt and confusion and
get the Townsfolk to lynch each other.

How to Play
You sign up and then once the game is full you will be PMed by the Game
Mod assigning you a team, either Townie or Mafia. If you are Townie,
you will not know the identity of anyone else SO TRUST NO ONE. If you
are assigned as Mafia, you will know the other Mafia members and you
must work together to get the Townies to turn on each other because
they OUTNUMBER YOU.

The game starts off in the Day which will last 1 week. During this Day
period, everyone discusses who they believe is a Mafia member (also
called scum). Mafia will post too, and pretend they are Townies and try
to get the other Townies to turn on each other and confuse them. Every
member, Townie or Mafia, has a vote for lynching each Day. Post who you
want to vote for in the format:
Vote: Player X
If you wish to unvote at anytime, do so by:
Unvote: Player X
You may vote and unvote at ANY TIME during the DAY period. Only during
the Day, remember that. Once a majority vote is reach, that player will
be lynched NO MATTER WHAT. So if a majority is reached and you decide
to unvote for that person, its too late. Player X will be lynched and
his identity, Townie or Mafia will be revealed. A player will also be
lynched at the end of the week period that constitutes the Day time
based on whoever has the most votes, if a majority is not reached.

Once the Day period (after the lynching) is over it becomes the Night.
Night won't last long, a day or two at most. During the Night there will
be NO ACTIVE DISCUSSIONS.
Everyone goes to 'sleep'. This is when the Mafia congregate. During the
Night period, and ONLY DURING THE NIGHT the Mafia members will PM the
Game Mod one person's name and that person will be killed in the night.

Day will come again, and the identity of the dead Townie will be
revealed. Killed in the night by the Mafia. Now the situation gets more
dire as Townies will die every night due to the Mafia's ability to
night kill, so lynching Mafia becomes more and more important as the
game progresses.

This continues until either the Townies remain, or the Mafia stand
triumphant.

Rules
- DO NOT PM EACH OTHER ABOUT YOUR ROLES. Mystery and assumptions
are the point of this game, so if all the Townies band together through
PMs you will ruin this game. Play with integrity. Lying is fine
though. Mafia members may lie that they are Townie. Deception is a
major aspect of this game.
- You may only post in the Day period.
- Vote and unvote in the format: Vote: Player X; Unvote:
Player X
- DO NOT REVEAL ANY INFORMATION AFTER YOU HAVE DIED. If you are a
Mafia member and you die, do not reveal to anyone who else is Mafia
because that information may end up in the hands of the Townies.
- DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. I hope I don't
have to repeat it again. This is a cardinal rule. Editing your posts is
a no no. If you have something more to say, or need to edit a section
of your post then MAKE ANOTHER
POST saying what you need to say. If you are caught editing, you will
be ModKilled.
- Mafia can only speak during the Night. Obviously I can't enforce this,
but try Mafia should keep their conversations to the night period only.
