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

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
