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]]. | The game of Mafia (in [[Meat World]]) is usually run with playing cards representing the possible [[roles]] in 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. | ||

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]]. | 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. | ||

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. | ||
