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)

    • Seems like Neowin has transitioned into being simps for the white house. I can't find a review for the last UFC games that came out.
