The game of Mafia (in [[Meat World]]) is usually run with playing cards representing the possible [[roles]] in the game. The moderator secretly distributes the cards to the players, then has everyone put their head down/close their eyes. During the Night, the moderator "wakes up" the mafia, and they silently choose a victim. During the Day, everyone discusses, argues, swears, and eventually [[vote]]s for someone to lynch. The cycle repeats until the [[endgame]].

'''MafiaScum''', however, is devoted to the online version of the game. As far as anyone knows, this version was first attempted in August 2000 on the [[Grey Labyrinth]] website. It was so successful that [[mith]] (a regular GL-er) felt it warranted its own site. [[Online Mafia]] has the potential for more strategy and subtlety because it removes most of the possibility for cheating and provides players with a chance to form suspicion based on logic and [[voting patterns]] instead of facial expression. It also has the potential for just as many (if not more) laughs, because the players can act however they like, no matter how shy they might be in real life.

This role is one of the oldest [[Roles]] to exist in the game, yet it is still one of the most popular amongst players. Aligned with nobody but itself a Serial Killer can only rely on its own skill and cunning. It wins by being the last player remaining, and is given the ability to kill a player each [[Night]] as to achieve this win-condition. Serial Killers also have the added benefit of being able to genuinely appear to be hunting for scum which can help them blend in with the [[Town]]. Don't be fooled however, this isn't an easy role to play. You are prone to other player's kills as well as incriminating investigation results, as nobody else is there to aid you one unlucky moment will lead to your downfall. To try and balance this out a little moderators often give it various benefits, such as being [[Bulletproof]] or Investigation-Immune. If you feel like adding a little thrill to one of your upcoming games you may consider adding one of these roles.
Ninja is a [[Role modifier|Role-Modifier]] that can work as a standalone role that prevents roles such as [[Tracker|Trackers]] or [[Watcher|Watchers]] from seeing who they targeted during a [[Night]]. The Ninja modifier is most commonly attached to a [[Mafia Goon]] (resulting in the "Mafia Ninja" role), which allows the [[Mafia]] to kill without fearing the aforementioned [[:Category:Investigative Roles|Investigative Roles]]. It can also be used as a modifier to a Town power role, in order to hide it from a Mafia-aligned Tracker or Watcher. However, this is not commonly found in games on mafiascum.net.

This tiny [[Micro Setup]] for three players isn't technically Mafia, as there's only one player aligned with the [[Mafia]], however it's an old setup that used to be very popular on [[Scumchat]]. It contains a [[Mafia Goon]], a [[Vanilla Townie]] and a [[Super Saint]]. A Super Saint is a role that if lynched kills the player who [[Hammer|Hammered]] their [[Wagon]]. This means that even if the Mafia Goon manages to get a Town aligned player lynched he may still end up losing if he was the second player to vote the Super Saint. This setup has no [[Night]]-phases due to it's size, always being resolved in a single [[Day]]. There's a rather large portion of luck involved here so it's only suggested to run this setup if your looking for a lighter type of Micro-game.
This [[Micro Setup]] by [[Guardian]] is for 6 players. It is a simple setup, containing 4 [[Vanilla Townies]] and 2 Mafia-aligned players. What makes it unique is that the two mafia are [[Lover|Lovers]], meaning when one is lynched, the other dies as well (and Town wins). While this setup theoretically favors the Town (with a 60% expected win probability), in practice it is difficult for Town to win because all members of the Town must be on the [[Wagon]] to successfully lynch a Mafia.<br /><br />This setup lasts at most two days, so it is a good option to consider if you are looking for a shorter setup to run.

The largest wiki for the Game of Mafia on the web.
We have a total of 4,980 articles.

About Mafia...

MainPage-IntroductionPic.png

"In the peaceful Sicilian village of Salem, a dark presence is about to make itself known. For years, the family based crime organization known as the Mafia has been establishing itself in the foundation of the community. Until now, the naive citizens have been unaware of the evil among them. Tonight, however, the Mafia makes its move. Tonight, someone will die, and until the Mafia has eliminated all opposition, the innocent will continue to die. Unless, of course, the Mafia is destroyed first..."

The above is a typical opening for the game called Mafia (Also known as "Werewolves of Miller's Hollow" or "Town of Salem"). The game can be played by an indeterminate group of people, each playing the role of either a murdering Mafia member or an innocent townsperson, along with a game moderator. At the beginning of the game, Night falls, and the Mafia family members become aware of each other (by communication from the moderator). They then choose a victim, and the moderator announces the death scene. When Day breaks, the town must try to weed out the evil by lynching someone they suspect to be mafia.

The game of Mafia (in Meat World) is usually run with playing cards representing the possible roles in the game. The moderator secretly distributes the cards to the players, then has everyone put their head down/close their eyes. During the Night, the moderator "wakes up" the mafia, and they silently choose a victim. During the Day, everyone discusses, argues, swears, and eventually votes for someone to lynch. The cycle repeats until the endgame.

MafiaScum, however, is devoted to the online version of the game. The history of mafiascum.net can be traced back to a game moderated by mith in August 2000 on the Grey Labyrinth, a puzzle website. Due to the success and growth of the game on the GL, mith started mafiascum.net as a dedicated forum in March 2002. Online Mafia has the potential for more strategy and subtlety because it removes most of the possibility for cheating and provides players with a chance to form suspicion based on logic and voting patterns instead of facial expression. It also has the potential for just as many (if not more) laughs, because the players can act however they like, no matter how shy they might be in real life.

For more details and information please read this guide: Quick Guide to Mafiascum

Featured role...

T-neapolitan.png
This month's featured role is the Ninja!

Ninja is a Role-Modifier that can work as a standalone role that prevents roles such as Trackers or Watchers from seeing who they targeted during a Night. The Ninja modifier is most commonly attached to a Mafia Goon (resulting in the "Mafia Ninja" role), which allows the Mafia to kill without fearing the aforementioned Investigative Roles. It can also be used as a modifier to a Town power role, in order to hide it from a Mafia-aligned Tracker or Watcher. However, this is not commonly found in games on mafiascum.net.

Featured setup...

T-vanilla.png
This month's featured setup is Lovers Mafia!

This Micro Setup by Guardian is for 6 players. It is a simple setup, containing 4 Vanilla Townies and 2 Mafia-aligned players. What makes it unique is that the two mafia are Lovers, meaning when one is lynched, the other dies as well (and Town wins). While this setup theoretically favors the Town (with a 60% expected win probability), in practice it is difficult for Town to win because all members of the Town must be on the Wagon to successfully lynch a Mafia.

This setup lasts at most two days, so it is a good option to consider if you are looking for a shorter setup to run.
