For the noob in me how do you play ? 

Best if you learn by playing. Kind of like an adult game of hide and seek. Only theres no actual physical activity. And we mostly insult each other and make jokes to pass by the time. Lots of paranoia, you can trust no one. And you spend most of your time trying to figure out who to blame.

basically its like being a Jets fan, just without the constant feeling of dispair and hopelessness

@AVM any chance you could start sooner?

I cant be active tomorrow, but if you want to start then I’ll just catch up and piss everyone off with 20 straight posts of 8+ quotes again

works for me if it works for you, maybe it’ll be my new schtick — terrible, but efficiently terrible

That works. GATA scolding you for it last game was quite entertaining.

Mafia is a party game created by Dmitry Davidoff in 1986[2] modelling a conflict between an informed minority, the mafia, and an uninformed majority, the innocents. At the start of the game, each player is secretly assigned a role affiliated with one of these teams. The game has two alternating phases: night, during which the mafia may covertly "murder" an innocent, and day, in which surviving players debate the identities of the mafia and vote to eliminate a suspect. Play continues until all of the mafia have been eliminated or until the mafia outnumbers the innocents.

 

Here is a Wiki (like Wikipedia) for the game of Mafia that you can browse at your leisure or to look up specific terms, roles, strategy, etc as they come up

Here is another general overview of the game

Alternatively here's a Flash overview

Not as necessary but still useful is this list of commonly used abbreviations, not all of them are common to JN

And finally here's a list of Frequently Asked Questions with Answers

https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions

 

It also might be helpful to skim through a previous game thread in this forum.

But really, the best way to learn is to just jump in and play.  So come on in!

Doesn't make sense, ie....no guidelines found.

It's a guessing game you vote ppl off like survivor and if you are the good guys you hope to God you're not voting your own off.

If you're a bad guy you have a few members in your team. You're trying to come off innocent so you can kill the good guys.

i'll be in FL for a week starting next tues so participation would be very sparse...  not sure it's worth playing this one but since the cowards on the scum team always kill me first it might not matter.

They kill you first because they crave real competition. No use keeping around players who suck at this game.
