What is MafiaScum?
The above is a typical opening for a game called Mafia. The game is played by a 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 continues, alternating between night and day, until one side is eliminated.

Rules:
* This is a game. Have fun. Don't let things get personal.
* During Day, you may vote for the player you want to lynch. Votes should be in the form Vote: Player or they may not be counted. It is helpful to "Unvote" when switching your vote to a different player, though this is not required. Please bold these actions.
* Whenever a player has a majority in votes, that player will be lynched, his or her role will be revealed, and Night will begin. Once a player has reached a majority, no votes or unvotes will be registered. You may also Vote: No Lynch; a majority of this vote will end Day without a death.
* If discussion lags or Day goes on for too long, a deadline may be set. If no one has reached a majority at the deadline, no one will be lynched.
* During Night, players with role abilities may send targets for those abilities. Choices are due by the posted deadline.
* Don't edit/delete posts. Use the "Preview" button to look over your post before you submit it. This is to provide evidence to indicate who is Mafia and who is Town based on past actions and words.
* Don't quote any PMs from the Moderator.
* Mafia are allowed to communicate by PM during the Night phase only. Otherwise, do not talk to anyone about this game outside the thread.
* If you're dead, you're dead. Do not post until the game is over; this includes talking to living players about the game outside the thread. EXCEPTION: You are allowed a single "Bah!" post after you die.
* If you have any question, complaint, or comment, PM the Moderator.

How to kill:
Every day (game time) everyone choses one to lynch. Highest vote get lynched. When someone is lynched the night starts, this is the time where all the ones with special roles send the pm on what to do. When everyone did, the night ended, and people died gruesomely in the night. Than the next day sets turns, based on outcome and on how everyone voted you can suspect someone of being mafia or of not being mafia.

Setup:

2 Mafia Goons
1 Mafia Roleblocker

1 Serial Killer

1 Pro-Town Cult Leader
1 Pro-Town Vigilante
1 Pro-Town Tracker
1 Pro-Town Jailkeeper
5 Townies

Roles:

mafia goon
Mafia rollblocker
Townie


The Serial Killer is in a team all of their own - they are neither Town nor Mafia. They must perform a nightkill each night. Their win condition is to be the last person alive.

The Cult Leader targets one player each night, and if that person is pro-Town, they become a member of the Cult. The Cult all know who each other are, and can talk at Night. If the Cult Leader targets a Mafia member or the Serial Killer, the Cult Leader is killed. The Cult is pro-Town, and their win condition is to eliminate all threats to the Town.

The Vigilante is a Townie who can perform nightkills, just like the Mafia. They may also choose not to nightkill, unlike the Serial Killer. Their win condition is to eliminate all threats to the Town.

The Tracker is a Townie who can target one person each night, and will be informed of who that person targeted, if anyone. They will not be told what action took place, only who their target performed an action on. EG I am the tracker, and I target Jesus tonight. Jesus is a Roleblocker, and he RBs Satan. I am told that Jesus targeted Satan, but not what action he performed.


The Jailkeeper is basically a combination of Roleblocker and Doctor. They protect their target from a nightkill (only one - if two or more nightkills are placed on the Jailkeeper's target, they will still die) but they also prevent their target from using any abilities they might have.

I knew this game under another name, where the mafia are werewolves, hiding in human form during the day and preying on a villager every night, but after searching, this appears to be the original game. :)

Do the mafia all know each others roles? Likewise, when people become members of the cult, are their individual roles divulged to each other?

The mafia know who the other mafia are, they just don't know which town has which roll. And when people become part of the same cult, they both know of eachother. When the cult targets a mafia, he's still dead though.

PS: 7 spots left.

Yes, the mafia know that the other mafia is a mafia goon, or mafia roleblocker.

And what do you mean with "that Fred is the Tracker?" The cultist are made aware he became one of them.
