This is Session 2 of Neowin Mafia. Below is some information for reference.

The rules, guideline and game style will resemble the trial game, the link to that discussion topic is here. There have been various changes made to this session. Thanks to Lt-DavidW for starting the game last session. Game source wikiHow.

Updates

3. The game has ended, the remaining Townspeople have eliminated the Mafia. Spreadsheet used in this game can be found near the end of the topic. Thank you for those who have participated.

2. Registration has ended. The game has begun. Thank you for joining.

1. Notes/Improvement 4 has been confirmed.

Notes/Improvements

1. Those who are interested will join on a first come first serve basis. Winners of the previous session (those who remained alive in the end) will have priority.

2. Due to the previous session of having members not active throughout the game, voting and participation will be essential to ensure your survival. Players will unfortunately be eliminated if they missed two consecutive voting sessions. If you have doubts regarding your participation please reconsider about joining the game.

3. News clippings or events offered in the previous session will not be as thoroughly expressed in this session. The game will unfortunately just be straightforward.

4. I have considered to give 4 Townspeople the knowledge of the other three also being Townspeople. This ensures a decent amount of communication between regular members. This raises a strong aspect of the game that could be of great benefit to the progression of the voting sessions.

The Rules

Once we have filled the players list, the moderator will again randomly assign people to different characters. There are four types of characters: Mafia (4), Sheriff (1), Doctor (1), and Townspeople (14).

1. The game is played as a series of 'Day' and 'Night' Cycles. Please follow the role you have been assigned to and closely follow the progression of the cycles and vote accordingly to ensure your survival.

2. The game ends when either a) all Mafia have been eliminated and or b) the number of Mafia members and Townspeople are equal (Mafia having control of town votes).

The role of any player will not be publicly announced.

Night Cycle

First round only. The moderator will Private Message (PM) randomly assigned Mafia members (4) and inform them of the other three members who they will collaborate with.

1. The Mafia will collaborate personally though PM and decide which player they would like to kill. The target will be submitted to the moderator before the Night Cycle ends.

2. The Doctor will submit through PM whom he believes he needs to save.

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

3. The Sheriff will submit through PM whom he suspects of being Mafia.

The moderator will either confirm or deny through PM whether or not the Sheriff's suspect is indeed Mafia or not. 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 a Mafia member.

The night cycle will not be made public as it is "behind the scenes". At the end of the night cycle, the Morning News will inform all players of arrests, and deaths or attempted murders (if saved by the Doctor) that occurred in the cycle.

Day Cycle

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

Anyone who has died or been arrested should not communicate with the remaining players.

Everyone can discuss in this thread anything about what has happened. People can admit to their characters or even lie about who they are (but be careful or you may get eliminated in the next cycle). You can also accuse and or defend who you like.

Please do not spoil the game by copy and pasting PM or screenshots into this thread. Only talk about your suspicions and accuse with literal evidence or the game could be spoiled for all.

1. All players, including Mafias, Sheriff and Doctor, will be subjected to one vote to eliminate one of the remaining players whom they suspect as being guilty. The player with the most votes will be out of the game.

The member that has been eliminated in the Day Cycle will be announced in the Evening News, and their identity be revealed.

The day and night cycles will continue until the game ends, again, either a) all Mafia have been eliminated and or b) the number of Mafia members and Townspeople are equal (Mafia having control of town votes).

Cycle Time

Night Cycle votes end/Morning News/Town votes begin: 12:00 EST/16:00 UTC

Town votes end/Evening News/Night Cycle votes begin: 00:00 EST/04:00 UTC

Wow, filling up fast! I'm really excited to be playing!

After reading through all of the last thread, it seems that people didn't discuss much on the forum. Was a lot of discussion done via PM?

In the physical version of the game, discussion takes place in front of everyone else, so I'd like to see more speculation and discussion out in the open in the thread, if possible. Reading through the last game, I wasn't sure how anyone decided who to accuse...

Just a quick update, half of the slots have been filled. I recall seeing a large number of members in the previous game say they want to get back in. Be quick though, filling up fast indeed.

However question follows, is that would it be more accessible or convenient if the hours were shifted 3 hours either way? Please post if anyone rejects this suggestion.

By the way I have no idea how to convert to BST, is BST merely +1 to UTC?

Yes, BST is simply UTC plus one hour's worth of British Summer Time added on. But is GMT BST or UTC? Hmm...

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      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 · Posted

      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.
