I heard about this game over at WikiHow and thought Neowin would be a great place to play this!

To play the game, we'll need a maximum of 20 people.

Update: Our 20 players have been chosen and this game has now finished.

Our players are:

1. Astro Zombie

2. Quick Shot

3. Sesse

4. SacrificialSoldier

5. Hankyone

6. Shof

7. Ricky S.

8. Dave Almighty

9. rEiVeRjOhN

10. Saxondale.

11. _Sharad_

12. Manish

13. e-m00

14. -Alex-

15. PedroQ

16. MchWalte

17. sundayx

18. iCeFuSiOn

19. benac

20. volvox

The Rules

1. I will act as game moderator for this initial trial game.

2. Once we have decided who is playing, I will randomly assign people different characters. There are four types of character: Mafia (x4), sheriff (x1), doctor (x1), and townspeople.

3. The game is played as a series of 'day' and 'night' rounds. The game ends once either

a) the Mafia have been eliminated

b) the number of Mafia and townspeople is equal (Mafia win)

4. No players are told by the moderator who is which character (except for their own character of course).

Night Cycle

1. (First round only:) I will private message the Mafia members and inform them of the four people who are Mafia. Everybody outside of the Mafia will not be informed of its members.

2. The Mafia will then collaborate though private messaging to decide which player (of all the players) they would like to kill.

3. Once the Mafia have made a decision and the moderator informed, I will PM the doctor and ask him who he wants to save.

4. Should the doctor correctly choose the Mafia's victim, the victim will not be killed and remain in the game.

5. The moderator will then PM the sheriff and ask him for one person he suspects of being Mafia.

6. The moderator will either confirm or deny through PM whether or not the sheriff's suspect is Mafia or not.

7. If the Sheriff is right then that Mafia member is jailed and out of the game. If he is wrong then at least the sheriff knows that that person is not Mafia.

The night cycle will not be visible to most people as it is 'behind the scenes'. In the night cycle all players will only ever be informed of deaths, arrests, and attempted murders (when saved by the doctor).

Day Cycle

This is where the game gets really interesting and everyone gets involved.

1. Anyone who has died or been locked up cannot communicate with the remaining players.

2. Everybody (Mafia, sheriff, doctor, and townspeople) can discuss in this thread what they like about what has happened. People can admit to their characters or even lie about who they are (but be careful or you may get killed off/jailed in the next night cycle!). You can also accuse and defend who you like.

3. Please do not spoil the game by copying and pasting people's PMs into this thread, posting screenshots, etc. Only talk about your suspicions and accuse without literal evidence or the game could be spoiled.

4. The player most accused of being a Mafia member by the other players is subject to a vote.

5. If most people find the player guilty, the player is out of the game. If most people find the player innocent, the player remains and the next Night Cycle begins.

6. If a player is found guilty, the moderator will inform all other players as to his this players' true identity.

7. The day and night cycles will continue until the game ends. Again, this will be once either

a) the Mafia have been eliminated

b) the number of Mafia and townspeople is equal (Mafia win)

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
