Now let's explain this wonderful game!
[b] Introduction [/b]
[quote]Mafia is a game of psychology that was introduced in 1986 in Moscow State University. It started off very simply, with basic roles such as villager and mafia. The mafia were the informed minority and the village was the uninformed majority. The game slowly evolved and several variants were created, including Werewolf. The roles are now a lot more complicated, and additional rules have been added. Mafia came onto the Internet as the Internet became more widely used, and people played Mafia online via e-mails. It spread to other forms, such as forum mafia, or Epic Mafia.[/quote]
[b] Basics [/b]
[quote] Every person is assigned a role at the start of the game. You are randomly sided with either the village, the mafia, or a third party. During the night, the mafia secretly meet and discuss to decide who they want to kill, while other power roles decide what to do. During the day, the village players must figure out who is not sided with the village and get rid of them.
You will play as either mafia, villager, or a third party! Your goal is to converse with other players and advance towards your own goals. Your skills in persuasion and lying will determine the outcome of the game.[/quote]
The best way to learn how to play is, of course, to actually play! I learned in about half a game.

It is indeed terrific fun.
We play this in person all the time.
It's mad fun when a bunch of people argue with eachother about who the killers are.
I would have joined you guys if I wasn't busy playing my roguelike already, keep the thread alive and healthy.
This seems quite fun. Anyone up for joining? The registration is very quick and they don't require E-mail verification.
9 more players!

Mother of cheese we more players needed.
I love this game, my favorite role is probably driver.
