Rules

-Mafia- has a few rules, since it's a game based very much on secrets and lying. For example dead people shouldn't be able to talk with the living.

  • Trolling is considered a strategy.
  • Role-Quitting is frowned upon.
  • Griefing is a grey area between Trolling and Game-Throwing.
  • Game-Throwing is not allowed.
  • Skyping is not allowed.
  • Abuse is absolutely forbidden.
  • Hacking is absolutely forbidden.

Description

In depth description about each subject.

Trolling

Trolling is acting like an idiot for the pursuit of hilarity, or otherwise screwing with people in a manner that does not ruin the game.

Example:

  • Yelling random things to confuse people.
"RED IS ALWAYS EVIL!"

Role-Quitting

Role-Quitting means to leave a game for the sole reason of not wanting to play the role you have been given.

Example:

  • Leaving the game after seeing you have gotten a role you hate.
"DOCTOR? Fuck this, I'm out."

Griefing

Griefing is similar to trolling, but actually results in the game being ruined. This is trolling taken too far.

Example:

  • Purposely lagging the game
  • Custom name that's so large none can read what you say.
  • Spam target at hyperspeed to spam chat, making comrades unable to communicate.

Game-Throwing

Game-Throwing means "playing to lose", in other words ruining the game for your team-mates. Game-Throwing can be considered somewhat ok if you are Serial Killer or Arsonist, cause you don't have any team-mates.

Example:

  • As Mafia, Town, or Cult: purposely trying to get lynched.
  • As Mafia or Cult: sharing the identity of other players so your team loses.
    • Mafioso being lynched, as he's last words he says who he's teammates are.
    "Boss is Godfather and Deantwo is Janitor, kill them next."
  • As Town: lynching, shooting, or executing someone you know is in the Town.
  • Remaining AFK and/or refusing to help your team.

Skyping

Skyping means the person(s) is using outside-of-game communication such as Skype, "Battle.Net Party Chat" or "Game Lag Chat" to communicate about the current game. Talking and playing with friends isn't against the rules, but telling each other information is.

Example:

  • In an external chat: "hey Bro! i was the GF and couldn't kill Mugy7! Mugy7 is the SK!"
  • "my brother is the GF, and he says Mugy7 is SK, reveal and lynch him"
  • Two friends playing together even thought they aren't on the same team.
  • Using the "Lag Chat" to talk about anything to do with the game is also forbidden, this includes things like "RED IS MAFIA" or "stupid town is stupid".

Abuse

Abuse is using moderator abilities to cheat. This includes kicking people at random, cheating with the mod message system, etc. This can also cover abusing Unlockables.

Example:

  • Abusing moderator abilities.
  • Using the same name and preferring the same role multiple times in a row.

Hacking

Hacking can mean many things, but the most general case of hacking is "Point Hacking".

Example:

  • Modifying Bank files to gain points.
"i have 20k points but have only played 20 games! i have -prefer and -blacklist now!"
  • Using 3rd-party programs to cheat.

Reporting Rule Violations

If you observe anyone breaking the rules, you can report them on the Mafia forum.
