If you've never played mafia it is advised that you read this thread as to understand the game.
Remember though, the admin of the game can modify the rules to their liking and change the game in anyway if they choose.
Generally, in mafia there are two teams. The town and the mafia. The mafia members wish to outnumber the town members and overwhelm the town. The mafia members know who is in the mafia and usually have a board/quicktopic where they can talk to each other and discuss. The mafia members can also kill one town member during the night (Explained below) to try and over-power the town. The town members do not know who each other are OR who the mafia are and have to use logic along with other things to try and deduce who the mafia are. To try and defeat the mafia the town have to try and get a majority vote on who they think is mafia after which the person voted will be lynched. While the town is voting the mafiasos will try to blend in and act like a town member while also trying to get them to vote on the wrong person.
There also occassionally players who are not members of the mafia or town and have their own win condition. This will be explained in their role PM (Explained below).
DAY/NIGHT PHASES:
The game is divided into two phases (Day and night) which each last a certain ammount of time.
During the day phase the players vote on who to lynch. The town try to discover who is mafia and lynch them while the mafia members attempt to appear town and decieve the town.
After a lynch is reached or after a certain ammount of time the day will change to night.
During the night players who posses certain powers from their roles (Explained below) can send a message to the game mod to use the power. Also, during the night the mafia talk ammoungst themselves and decide who to kill. The mafia must also decide which member will carry out the kill. The mafia may also possess abilities that they can use during the night also. After they decide who to kill and use their abilities they tell the game mod and the actions will be caried through.
Once all actions are sent in, or after a certain ammount of time, the night will end and the game mod will announce the beginning of a new day. When they mod announces the beginning of the new day they will also reveal the mafia kill and send anyone the result of their night actions.
ROLES:
When a game of mafia begins you are generally sent a PM telling you your role. Your role often has some sort of character attached to it which the mod adds to make the game more interesting. In your Role PM you will be told any abilities that your role may posses and how to use those abilities.
REMEMBER: Game moderators are always coming up with new roles and variants of old ones.
Examples of some common town roles are...
Vanilla Townie: A vanilla townie is just a basic town member. They have no special abilities. All they can do is discuss who they think is mafia during the day and vote on who to lynch.
Cop: One of the most common town roles and also one of the most useful. At night the cop may PM the moderator one person they wish to investigate and discover wether they are a member of the mafia or of the town.
Vigilante: The vigilante is one of the more powerful town roles. At night, the vigilante may PM the game moderator one person who they wish to kill. The vigilante can be VERY useful if they are good at figuring out who the mafia are.
Doctor: At night the cop can attempt to protect one person from being killed by the mafia by PMing the moderator who they wish to protect. If the mafia, a serial killer, or a vigilante attempt to kill the person the doctor protects the person will not die.
Roleblocker: Durgin the night, the roleblocker may send who the game moderator one person who they wish to block for the night. If the person they targeted were to carry out an action that action will be blocked. It can also block the mafia kill if they target the person who would carry out the mafia kill.
And some common mafia roles...
Mafiaso: Basically the vanilla townie of the mafia. They can discuss and stretegize with the other mafia members and help decide who to kill
Godfather: The head member of the mafia. He sends the mafia's actions to the game moderator and he also usually appears innocent when investigated by cops.
Mafia Roleblocker: A mafia variant of a roleblocker.
Mafia Hitman: If they are chosen to carry out the mafia kill their kill is not affected by the protection of doctors or roleblocks.
