Welcome to the Meta Mafia Game!
This is a game that lovingly makes fun of, and shows homage to, all the previous mafia games that we have played on these forums. To fully appreciate this game, therefore, we recommend you peruse the Real World threads that show the previous games if you haven't read some of them already. We hope, however, that it is fun to read regardless of your investment in Lusternian mafia!
As a note: Just because a role was scum in a previous game, or town in a previous game, does not mean it is the same in this game. Do not expect powers or alignment to be 100% identical. Expect surprises.
The Rules:
1. Votes MUST be in bold to count. (ex. Vote Sylandra)
2. Once a majority has been reached, the day ends. Anything that happens after a final vote will not happen, including unvotes to bring the target below the minimum threshold, unless a power explicitly allows this.
3. You are not allowed to post in the thread during the night phases.
4. You are not allowed to communicate with each other outside the thread unless your role specifically allows you to do this.
5. Once you are eliminated, you are not allowed to post in the thread during the day phase unless your role explicitly allows this.
6. You are not allowed to quote your role PM.
7. Do not discuss game details outside of the game.
8. If you go inactive, please let me know so I can find a replacement player. (Those interested in being a replacement player, please message me for a waitlist!)
9. You're not allowed to edit your posts. Doublepost instead if you want to clarify something.
10. You must be sportsmanlike. If you are rude or inflammatory to the point that the game ceases to be enjoyable for the rest of the players, I reserve the right to modvig you out of the game. Mafia may be a game about emotional manipulation and deceit, but it's still a game! Have fun with it. But most importantly, be respectful.
11. The game will end when either the town or the mafia have reached their victory condition.
12. Dayphases will last no longer than a RL week. If seven days go by without a lynch, the Nightphase will immediately begin.
13. Nightphases will last no longer than 48 hours. If night actions are not delivered at the end of the night phase, it will be read as no action.
14. Some roles have post restrictions. While I encourage you to follow them, and I reserve the right to withhold votes if the post restrictions are not followed, they exist for fun more than anything else. I will be fairly lenient about their use or lack thereof.

With 15 alive, it takes 8 to lynch.
Ixion tells you, "// I don't think anyone else had a clue, amazing form."
Woooohoooo! It's time for another grand adventure of discovery and learning!
So, uh, does anyone know where exactly we are going?
I hear we are going to a magical place called Lack of Rants.
PS I'm watching how you are all voting and posting because FACTS DON'T LIE.
I mean...uh...hi?
But don't worry, because I know exactly what I'm doing here. (I swear!)
The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable.
Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.

Also don't worry Brea, newness never stopped us from having people in here before, and time logged in mafia message very little. Rolesand, for example.

1) Touhou
2) Pokemon
3) Shakespeare
4) Reign
5) Night Vale
6) Gods/Monsters
7) Los Alamos
8) RuPaul
9) Chimaeras
Am sure I'm probably missing some?

Even though the game's only been open for a little while, I'm going to go ahead and do that so we can start getting the ball rolling on action. A first day no-vote is pretty standard, and I feel a lot better doing this than trying to guess what's going on in Sylandra's scheming mind (I'm scared she's going to get me back for PokeMafia shenanigans).

I'll second that, because I'm still figuring it out.
Basically the theme of this game is the game, so Sylandra's definitely going to try to play with our expectations of the game. We're definitely gonna be seeing old roles re-purposed, but I think the the real meta of Lusernia Forums Mafia is actually in the people who've been playing it, rather than the characters of the old games. So who's been the real villains of Forums Mafia? The Mods. And in this game we only got 2 former mods from the games Sylandra listed in the sign up threads. @Tremula, and @Silvanus.
