Thank you nin for the banner!
Whether you've played Town of Salem, One Night Ultimate Werewolf, traditional Mafia, have always had an interest, or just thought this thread looked interesting - welcome! Our forum mafia community is always open to new players and we love seeing new faces join our games. Go ahead and introduce yourself in this thread and we'll help get you in a game as soon as we can!

Mafia, or Werewolf, is a secretively team-based "whodunnit?" deception—elimination game played over consecutive rounds of DAY and NIGHT. Two (2) teams/Alignments, "Town" & "Mafia," compete to be the last faction alive or in majority.

Each Town-aligned player starts the game not knowing who else is Town, and don't know who's Mafia...
...but all Mafia-aligned players, start the game knowing the identities of their Mafia teammates.

During the DAY, all players are allowed to talk with each other in the game-thread, to vote out one (1) player whom they suspect is Mafia.
A DAY typically lasts for 48hrs real-time.
Town wins once all the Mafia are eliminated.

But during the NIGHT; talking is banned, except for the Mafia who can still whisper together in a private chat and can KILL one (1) player.
A NIGHT typically lasts for 24hrs real-time.
Mafia wins once they outnumber Town.

However, survival's not off charisma alone. Granted by the game's Host before beginning, everybody has a "Role" to play, and some of them have Powers: special abilities that may help reveal truths, or work to support lies!

A Mafia game is a significant time commitment. Our games can take about a month to play, and you'll be expected to post and contribute to the ongoing discussion to help your team win. And don't forget to follow ResetEra's ToS and Member Etiquette. Though this is a game about lies and deception and things can get heated, this is just a game at the end of the day and we're all here to have fun.

But most importantly, welcome! Through various games, gambits, jokes, wins, losses, upsets, betrayals and triumphs we have formed a community of individuals who have become something like a family. We hope you will join us in our love of this game and give it a shot. You never know what might happen.

Want to know how many games you've won or don't know a certain mafia term?
Check out our game resources for that and more!

MafiEra R&D
Fireblend has created a set of tools to help streamline the forum mafia experience for those who'd like to use them! (Note: the vote tool is required for use in games.)
  • MafiEra Vote Tool, a website that allows you to see a game's current post and vote counts, and other features like checking in which phase a player left the game, who were the winners, and more!
  • Vote Tool userscript (Era|OM) - allows the user to see the current game's vote count at the top and bottom of a page.
  • Isolating Posts (ISO) userscript - allows the user to search all posts from a single player with a handy button.
  • PlayerInfo userscript - allows the user to access the player list at any time in the reply box.
Mafia championships
Beginning in 2016 our community has been invited to the annual Mafia Championships hosted by Mafia Universe. Over 225 different forum mafia communities have participated in this event with hundreds of different players over the years. Representing us in these games are:
  • Sorian, who played in Season 3, Game 5; then the Final Game and got 4th place!
  • Ty4on and Natiko played in Season 4, Game 8!
  • Dr. Monkey with CaptainNuevo as a back-up! Monkey has played in Season 5, Game 7, in Wildcard Game 2, and in the finals!
  • Faddy played in Season 6, Game 4!
  • Dr. Monkey with TheChuggernaut as back-up! Monkey played all the way to the Finals!
Mentorship program
For new and returning players who would like some assistance, we offer a mentorship program. These mentors can not play the game for you or answer direct questions such as 'who should I vote for?' but can help with mafia terminology, general strategy, and other minor questions. If you are interested in requesting a mentor, please contact your gamerunner.

For veteran players, if you would like to offer your assistance to the mentorship program please contact Sawneeks, or let us know in this thread.

As much as I'm one for small games, I've got to admit that EastEnders is very tempting... (Even though Corrie's way better. And I'm not even into soaps. But the opportunity to mock Danny Dyer...)

Hot damn, Fate/Mafia??

I'm a little burnt out on mafia right now, so I'll take spec for the first pair here.

Great banner, also.

Hmmm, I appreciate the heads up. A smaller game is good, but flavor wise, Fate/Mafia and Metal Gear Mafia call to me a bit more. How big and complicated are those two games slated to be?
Fate/Mafia is small but complicated, MGS is big and complicated.

Does Onuw change priority the same as a regular game?
Dr. Monkey or Sawneeks can correct me but I believe ONUW is being run as a mini, so it won't effect priority for future games (additionaly people who sign up for knives out can also sign up for ONUW but will have lower priority than those who don't)

It was a good movie, although it had so many inaccuracies!!

Spoilers for knives out based on my memory of having seen it once a year ago:
The one that really bugged me was the lawyer opening and reading the will for the first time in front of everybody-- he would 100% have read it in advance. The will probably wasn't even valid, since it wasn't witnessed! Also, the secret recording at the end is not admissible or even legal to make in Massachusetts since they didn't have two-party consent. And Marta doesn't own the house yet at the end, even though everyone acts like she does, because the will hasn't gone through probate/title been transferred. Also, all these rich people would not have talked to the cops without their lawyers. Plus, the vomiting thing was so inconsistent! Sometimes it happened when she wasn't even lying, just leaving things out, but other times it seemed like she could get around it by using exact words.

OK, I've got that out of my system now, looking forward to seeing the game play out XD

What are you, some kind of lawyer!

Knives out was my film of 2019

If you haven't seen it, please do. It's great.
I really appreciate a who-dun-it that doesn't hide clues from you. I give it major props for that alone.

Hawthorn is my best friend now, sorry previous best friends. I loved the movie but I had to turn my brain off for many of these reasons.
