You don't have to be a mod, you just won't have like thread locking abilities and whatnot.

I don't know what a game of mafia is though.

Simplest form:

In its simplest form, Mafia consists of two sides: the Mafia, and the Town. The Mafia's goal is to kill the innocents, while the Town's goal is to kill the Mafia.

At the beginning of the game, the Moderator will secretly send everyone their role. The Mafia will know each other, while (in the basic game) everyone else will only know their own role.

The game has two phases, the first of which is Day. During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when a player gets a majority of the votes, they are lynched. Their role is revealed by the Moderator, and it becomes Night.

During the Night, the thread is locked and no one can talk publicly. The Mafia, however, can speak to each other privately to plot strategy and decide who to murder before the next Day begins. In this way, they can silence members of the Town who are threats to them. At the end of the Night, the murder is carried out and another Day begins. In effect, the Town gets to kill someone, and then the Mafia gets to kill someone.

The game alternates between Day and Night until either the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have killed everyone else (or nothing can prevent the same).

Not having locking powers might prove to be a challenge, but I've played games that didn't have locking threads, they just go faster and have more of an honor system. More complex games of Mafia add roles like the Doctor, who can pick one person at night to save, and if the Mafia have targeted them, they don't die, and the Cop, who can investigate one person a night and gets a private yes/no from the Powers That Be on if that person is Mafia.

Like Town of Salem?

This sounds really fun. I'm in!

I don't have any I might have any white chocolate chips either, in which case oh well. I actually don't even have chocolate chips so I'll be chopping up a chocolate bar for that part! I didn't plan for this

Chopped up candy bars are even better, and make up for the other chips.
But i have my delicious greenish-brown juice. just as good.

Precisely. Same game with 100 different names and rule variants that's been played at summer camps and colleges forever.

Maybe when Survivor is over, I could co-do it with you? Help you with locking and whatnot.

i've had donuts, poptarts, a frapee and 3 cups of coffee.

I'M BOUNCING OFF THE FUCKING WALLS but I'm not hungry.

It's only ten, I've had coffee and like 30 oz of water :o

I forget that y'all on the other side of the country are like six time zones away. (Okay, not six, but still...)

I'm SO in for this. Definitely not a thing we want to run during Survivor, because I can see a lot of potential player overlap, but I think it'd be a fun "off hours" thing for a couple weeks. Depends on how skilled our mafia wind up being, lol.

Sounds good. Drop me a message when you're ready. Survivor will be over in 4 weeks.

I can always put you back in the dog house if you'd like.

 

[T. Leela]

Huh. Maybe I should try a little more.

Apparently "come on we're leaving" means "I'm gonna sit here and fiddle on my phone while you shift around awkwardly."

Wow rude. Here I was thinking you were afk in chat this whole time and I could have been bugging you.

Apropos of exactly nothing, there's one part in the Chronicles of Narnia (The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe) film score that's the same damn melody as ABBA's "I Have a Dream," (the part that has the hook in Mamma Mia (the musical's) overture) and it screws with my brain every time it comes up on my instrumental Pandora station.
