Thank you Fireblend 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.

Game: Corrida Colloseum Mafia
Gamerunner: SalvaPot
Gamewatchers: (Faddy and Geno supervised)
Players: 20
Complexity: Extremely Unusual/Likely Bastard
Day/Night Cycle: 48/24

Create-a-Role and Swap them up!

This game in particular is based on Fran's Greed island Mafia, but with a twist. Fran's design was unique in that it made players make their own roles within the restrictions of their "Nen Type". Corrida Colosseum takes this fun format but adds one chaotic ingredient: After all the roles are made, they get randomly swapped between all players! Add the One Piece flavour, and you get one Chaotic game in your rubbery hands!

Sign ups will run for 48 hours! If we have enough players by that time the game will begin.

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!
  • Our latest champions: Dr. Monkey with TheChuggernaut as back-up! Monkey is currently playing her final game!
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.

Really hyped for Easy Allies Mafia, but I'll probably not have enough time to play once it is running.

Hi everyone! I'd like to participate in my first game, is the Horror Movie game suitable for beginners? What does "role madness" mean? That sounds a bit complicated. Anyway, I'm signing up just in case.

Role Madness means that everyone gets a different role, whereas in a normal game there will probably be multiple players who are Vanilla and have no special powers.

Yes, apparently there was a mix up and Monkey said I could do Easy Allies instead if I wanted, so this game is finally going to run lol.
Was the mix up due to one person saying "knives Out" and someone taking that to mean the game was "out" of the roster?

Actually dont answer i like this scenario and believe it completely.

Cant believe yall would make a mistake that silly, absolutely hilarious.

I expect a great game with all of you. Even with Geno, who will probably fall for the mafia bait, red check a townie & get himself lunched again :p (just kidding, it'll be interesting to play with you after all this time!)

Also I promise to not lunch you D1 turmoil7, some traditions need to be broken, our last game was the first step, now let's form a town circle and own the game. Speaking of ... Maolfunction want to join? :)

So many new faces! Let me recommend the mentor program - a mentor can help new players get their footing and stay motivated. Mentors can also explain all the weird references and abbreviations and all, because sometimes it feels like we talk in code lol.

(Apropos of nothing, I just want to say that Pickle, who is 7, is obsessed with Among Us now and it's the funniest thing. She found it on my iPad after we played and she wants to play all day long.)

How long until you play with her and reveal your 'finely tuned over years of murder' deception skills?
