This is Session 3 of Neowin Mafia. Below are some information for reference.

3.jpg

The rules, guideline and game style will resemble the previous games, the link to the discussion topics are Session 1 and Session 2. There have been various changes made to this session. Thanks to Lt-DavidW for brining the game to Neowin. Game source wikiHow.

Notes Before Registration

Please be highly aware that this game requires high participation, this means checking the thread or voting on a daily basis and contributing to the discussion topic. You are required to check and double check your schedule to confirm your commitment, this enables the game to run smoothly, effectively, and more importantly, highly immersive and interactive.

Notes/Improvements

1. Neowin Mafia Voting System Beta. Indeed this will be the first session a voting system has been implimented to be the core backbone of the game. All votes will be submitted through the system, and deaths will be announced through the system statistics as well as in the discussion topic. Each player will be given a login code that leads to their personal voting page, where up to two votes can be submitted for upcoming and one future voting sessions. More details will be announced before the game begins.

Please be reminded that this system is still in Beta. Internal tests have been ran to ensure the precise working of the votes, yet there could be glitches that has yet to be found. Please report the problem or questions to this discussion topic, or PM either me or lylesback2.

Special mention and thanks to lylesback2 for creating the voting system. lylesback2 will also be the moderator for the game, to monitor the votes, statistics, as well as contribute to the cycles and discussion.

Please note, because this session is the implimentation of a completely new voting system we have decided not to change the game rules and add additional roles to the game. The suggestions discussed in the previous session, may/will be implimented in future games, but definately not this one.

2. Those who are interested will join on a first come first serve basis. Winners of the previous sessions (those who remained alive in the end) and those with high participation rates previously will have priority.

3. Due to the previous sessions 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.

4. This session will continue to have 4 Townspeople as part of an "alliance". 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 assign strategically 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 assigned Mafia members (4) and using Private Messaging (PM), inform them of the other three members who they will collaborate with.

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

2. The Doctor will submit through the Voting System 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 the Voting System whom he suspects of being Mafia.

The moderator will either confirm or deny 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 Times

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

    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      A McDonald's restaurant uses about 1.5 to 2 million gallons of water per year for operations like food preparation, cleaning, and restrooms. That is a lot less than the 2,083 gallons of water per megawatt hour mentioned above.
