HOSTS - @Chandelure @Tankian @Anastasia Beaverhausen
Halloween means costume parties, but this year's masquerade hides a deadly secret. Amongst the costumed partygoers, real monsters have invaded the dancefloor and they're hungry for something a little more filling than the celery sticks at the buffet table.
As the partygoers tried to leave, they quickly realized that all the doors and windows were shut tight, it was a trap. They only had one choice left, find and fight the monsters hiding among them. But with everyone in disguise, how would they be able to recognize human from creature of the night? Luckily, their costume come with some perks that might push back the forces of darkness.
Welcome to Sockpuppet Mafia. The premise is simple: town, using their logic skills and deduction, eliminates the mafia.
However, there is a major twist.
During Halloween, people dress in costumes. Adapting this to the forum, you shall play under sockpuppets! The premise of a sockpuppet mafia is to play mafia under a sockpuppet account.

Please direct further inquiries to @Chandelure, @Tankian and @Anastasia Beaverhausen. Thank you.
Quick tutorial for the newbs - credit to Rayne
In mafia there are two opposing sides, the town and the mafia. The town are usually unaware of each other while the mafia work together to covertly kill the town. It is up to the town to work to take down the mafia before the mafia outnumbers them.
If the town eradicates all mafia members, the town wins. If the mafia outnumbers the town, the mafia wins.
Every day phase, all members are allowed to vote a person to lynch. At the end of the day, the person with the most votes is ‘killed’ or removed from play. In the event of a tie, no players are killed. After this, we enter night phase. During the night, mafia choose who they kill. Some innocents have a role that allows them night actions as well. Standard roles include the Doctor which protects people from dying, and the Cop which is able to determine alliances. These are very valuable members for the innocents. Please use your night actions wisely. Sometimes using them have consequences. Sometimes your roles work better if used with other roles.
Communicate well, and you stand a better chance of winning. This goes for both sides.

#3. Rules regarding PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS
Feel free to share copies of private messages (OTHER THAN ROLE PMs) however you want, via PMs, QTs, or in the public thread. You can take screenshots if you wish.
About faking IMs/PM conversations, make use of your abilities to create a fake screenshot of a personal message if you want to.
You can even fake ours if you wish. Editing what you actually received and sharing it, making up one completely, etc. However, we will not assist.
Be aware that all consequences are yours. Don’t trust information hastily. We will appreciate if you tell us what’s fake. Also, obvious is obvious, but we don't recommend to the mafia players that they share their QuickTopic.
#4. Outside communication will be allowed in this game.
Therefore, we want copies of all PMs and private conversations in this game. Be sure to put in the recipient box Chandelure and Tankian so that all of us get the PM.
If you make a QuickTopic, please give all of us the link, and REMEMBER TO POST THERE UNDER YOUR SOCKPUPPET'S NAME, NOT YOUR REGULAR USERNAME . If you use a name other than your sockpuppet's username, tell us what name you’re using in the QT.
#5. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us via PM.
#6. If you change your sockpuppet username, please say so in the game thread. It’s confusing for both us and the players if you don’t do this.
#7. For voting, say "Vote: name". To cancel that, just post "Unvote: name" and then post a new name if you want to. You may also vote No Lynchif you desire.
#8. About night actions, you can change the target, as long as it's before the phase update. Some night actions will take effect upon the moment that the PM is read, so keep that in mind.
#9. UPDATES: Each phase will last for 24 hours. All updates will occur at 10PM EDT/GMT-5. Make adjustments as you need to.
