"Image" Mafia?

This will be a Mafia game like many others run in our community, with a single but important difference: except for voting and quoting previous posts, the players will only be able to post images or GIFs. That means no text, links, embedded videos, emoji, spoiler tags; that means nothing but images and GIFs.
That will obviously make communicating difficult, but hopefully it will be entertaining for players and spectators alike.

An explanation on how images and GIFs will be used in this game can be found in the next post under "Game-specific rules" and must be read by every player.


The design

The setup called C9++ will be used. It is a 13-player open setup that can produce a number of different role distributions, and you can find more about them all in this link. If you have been here for a while, you will recognize it as the setup used in our previous "Mini Mafia" games.

The role distribution used in this game was created through Fireblend's wonderful Mini Mafia Generator.

In the spoiler tag below you will find sample PMs for each possible role in this setup:

What Is Mafia?
Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a famous social deduction game that puts two teams against each other: Town and Mafia. Mafia players know who everyone in their team is, while Town players only know their own alignment. Cut into two 'Phases', Day and Night, the game entails Town trying to eliminate the Mafia via discussion and voting while the Mafia are trying to not get caught in order to match or outnumber the Town in order to win.

Interested in joining or learning more? Check out our MafiERA OT!

Fundamentals:
1. All site-wide rules apply here.
2. Unless explicitly told otherwise, players may not discuss this game outside of this thread.
3. Unless explicitly told otherwise, players may not directly quote or post screenshots of any PMs, posts, conversations, or any other type of document that was not made in this thread.
4. Players are allowed to lie, within reason, about any game-related material such as the content of a role PM.
5. Please respect all of your fellow players. We ask that you respect a player's personal pronouns and be aware of accessibility when using non-default text formatting. Please do not refer to, or discuss, player activity outside of this thread, for the sake of the game's integrity.
6. Mafia can be an intense and stressful game at times with situations becoming heated. Despite this, being overly hostile towards your fellow players is not allowed. If a player is caught name calling, using slurs, and/or other aggressive behaviors determined by the gamerunner they will be warned. If these behaviors continue despite the warning that player will be modkilled. No exceptions.

Activity:
7. Players are required to post a minimum of 5 posts per day phase. Failure to adhere to this will first result in a warning. On the second offense that player will be removed from the game.
8. If a player posts fewer than 5 posts in a day phase without alerting the gamerunner to their absence, they will be removed from the game without a warning. Not used in this game
9. If you are unable to continue playing for whatever reason, please contact your gamerunner.
10. If a replacement is added to the game, they may request the current/upcoming night phase to be extended up-to 48 hours to allow time to catch up.

Voting and Lynching:
11. In order to vote for another player to be lynched, you must present it on its own line and in the following format with no spaces: [ HIGHLIGHT ]VOTE: playername[ /HIGHLIGHT ]. Misspelt votes are only accepted within reason. Any other format will not be accepted.
12. To remove a vote from a player, you may simply vote for another player, or you may present it on its own line and in the following format with no spaces: [ HIGHLIGHT ]UNVOTE[ /HIGHLIGHT ].
13. Players may vote for a "No Lynch" to end the day phase without a lynch. This is done by using the formatting above and typing: [ HIGHLIGHT ]VOTE: No Lynch[ /HIGHLIGHT ].
14. When a player has received a strict majority of available votes (>50%), the day phase ends with the lynch of that player. Once a day phase has ended any in-game discussion stops and votes cast after that will not be counted.

Death and the Spectator Thread:
15. Once you are dead, you may no longer discuss the game in any manner with any of the remaining players.
16. Once dead, players may have a choice between the spectator thread and the replacement list. PM your gamerunner for more information.

Other:
17. Outside of explicit allowances the use of the highlight tag is strictly for gamerunners. Do not use it.
18. Do not edit your posts or hide content in the formatting. Repeat offenders will be removed from the game.
19. If a player is banned or they are replaced due to inactivity they will have the lowest possible priority when signing up for a spot in their next game.
20. Gamerunners reserve the right to add, remove, or modify existing any rules at any point, and enforcement may be applied retrospectively. However, all players will be informed of changes beforehand.

Game-specific rules:
21. In this game, you will only be allowed to vote (as shown in the rules 11 through 13), quote other players' posts, and use images and GIFs. No other type of content will be allowed in your post.
22. No NSFW images or GIFs are allowed.
23. You are allowed to use up to 3 images or GIFs per post.
24. You are allowed to create and use your own images and GIFs, as long as they do not feature any text created by yourself. That would be equal to writing a normal text post, which is prohibited in this game. This also implies that you are allowed to use images and GIFs with text, if they weren't created by you.
25. Use only either Tumblr, Imgur, Gfycat, Giphy, or Tenor as your image hosting services. I trust these to be reliable, and if you're using an alternate service there may be a chance of your image or GIF failing to load. That would be equal to someone erasing their post in a normal Mafia game, and it should not happen. Many people did not read this rule in the past
26. Don't spam images or GIFs, or use ones that may annoy other players or make them uncomfortable. We are all here to have fun, and your enjoyment should not come at the expense of someone else's.
27. In general, do not try and exploit loopholes in the rules.

I can't believe this is an actual question, though. Of course violent images are not okay, this is supposed to be a fun game.
