The Beginning

It was a dark and stormy night, or was it a hot day? Well, it wasn't a boring day because NSC can never be boring, but this was a day that'd change our lives forvever...

It was the day, we had created a new game, which we can all thank Halo for in the near future. Halo had thought of the game Mafia! A game involving a killer, a doctor, a creative narrator, and several angry townspeople. (We'll just say someone took the last jelly piece, which explains why all the people are angry) This new found game, which is 98% luck and 2% skill, has been an addiction since it was created. The goal of the game is to discover the Killer before all the Townspeople die. This game is decided on the votes of the Townspeople, as their votes decide the destiny of the other players. This epic game now comes with this guide, so come and read, as you too can join in on the fun.

Necessary Items

1. You will want an EVEN number of people. ((8, 10, 12, 14, 16, etc...))
2. Creativity (Narrator Only)
3. The spirit to participate!

Roles

The Narrator
The Narrator is the creator of the story. He/She is the creator of the story, well of course using your votes. (later explained in Townspeople The Narrator is also the one who chooses what everyone is.

Basic Steps for the Narrator
1. Randomly choose two people, one will be the Doctor, and the other will be the Killer/ Mafia. The other players will become Townspeople.
2. Ask the Townspeople to Neomail who they think is the Mafia.
3. Count all the votes, the person with the most will die.
4. Create a story on how a person dies. (you should follow one storyline)
5. IF THE KILLER DIES, then the round ends and a new game will start.
6. IF THE DOCTOR DIES, then no one can be saved and you ask for the next round of votes.
7. IF A TOWNSPERSON DIES, then they become a Ghost and you ask for the next round of votes.


The Killer/ The Mafia
Ah the famed killer. Probably the role everyone likes to be just because of what they do...
The goal for the Killer is to obviously kill Townspeople and the Doctor without being caught. Being caught results in the killer losing and a whole new game of Mafia will start.

Basic Steps for the Killer/ Mafia
1. Neomail the Narrator on who you would like to kill.
2. Read the Narrator's story on whether you died or was successful in killing.
3. IF YOU WE'RE SUCCESSFUL, then the next round starts. (same game)
4. IF YOU DIED, then the round ends and a new game will start.


The Doctor
The number one doctor of the town, and the only doctor, the Doctor is the only thing that can save the Townspeople. If the doctor can discover who the Killer is attacking, then the person will be saved. If the Doctor happens to die, then the Mafia will be able to kill until he is stopped or until the game ends.

Basic Steps for the Doctor
1. Neomail the Narrator on who you would like to save.
2. Read the Narrator's story on whether you died, saved a townsperson, someone died, or if the Killer was discovered.
3. IF YOU DIED, then you can no longer save anyone and you become a Ghost.
4. IF YOU SAVED SOMEONE, then the person the Mafia targeted will live.
5. IF THE KILLER IS DISCOVERED, then the round ends and a new game will start.
6. IF SOMEONE ELSE DIED, then the round ends and the Narrator will ask for the next round of votes.


The Townspeople
The Townspeople are being picked off one by one from the Killer/ Mafia. In this game, they have decided to rebel and aim to kill him, but how do they kill an enemy they don't know? Townspeople literally vote to kill. They send Neomails to the Narrator. This Neomail is who they think is the killer.

Basic Steps for the Townspeople
1. Neomail the Narrator on who you think is the Killer/Mafia.
2. Read the Narrator's story on whether you died, someone else died, found the Killer, or killed the Doctor.
3. IF YOU DIED, then you become a Ghost (explained later)
4. IF THE DOCTOR DIED, then he will no longer be able to save anyone and the Townspeople have no protection.
5. IF THE KILLER IS DISCOVERED, then the round ends and a new game will start.
6. IF SOMEONE ELSE DIED, then the round ends and the Narrator will ask for the new votes.


The Ghosts
Because the Townspeople have no where to go in their afterlife, they simply become Ghosts. Ghosts still can partake in the game or simply sit out.

What a Ghost can do
1. IF YOU WISH TO STILL PARTICIPATE, the Ghost can act as a Townsperson and vote with them.
2. IF YOU WISH TO SIT OUT, you may ask the Narrator who the Mafia is, however please don't ruin the game and tell everyone.

Why should I play?

Well, it's a classic in Nova Sponge Cakes. We play it often and we have fun. We create a new story line each time, bringing something new each day we play. We can die from drowning in jelly during one game, and we can die from raining muffins the next day. Mafia brings out the creativity of people. Being a Townsperson is also a way to "spread" your opinion, because you're picking who you think is a Killer. The game can also be played with just a minimum of six players, but remember more is better. It's called Mafia! Why wouldn't you want to play?
