Hello there! We’re a mafia channel, where we pretend to murder each other and then try to find the culprit. Unlike forums like Mafiascum, our games happen in real-time, so they can be very fast paced and tend to last between 10 minutes and an hour. We also have over 800 different roles, and a variety of setups from mountainous (a setup featuring no power roles) to chaos (a setup where anything is possible) and a fair chunk of everything inbetween.
Operators are users with either a green dot, gold star or @ sign (depending on your client). These users are the channel moderators, and are responsible for the channels day-to-day running. This ranges from enforcing the rules to helping new players. A full list of ops is below. Ops in BOLD are ones who focus on channel management and are therefore more likely to be able to answer any questions you have.
Owner: Xyl
Co-owner: Tanarin
Managers: Daz, demonspork, DrCoconut, Fox, Neruz, Phayt, Uprising
Failing to follow these rules may result in being modkilled or banned.
Operators may also use their discretion in managing the channel for areas not covered by these rules.
If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, PM an Operator (@). If you think you have been unfairly banned or wish to appeal against a decision, please contact Xyl.

Your role will be sent to you by XylBot. This text may appear in #mafia, or in a PM with XylBot, but is private to you. The following are examples of the basic role PMs for each common alignment.
-XylBot- Role: Townie (town). You win when all the bad guys are gone.

-XylBot- Role: Doctor (town). You can protect other players from kills. Each protection stops one kill, and lasts for one night. You win when all the bad guys are gone. -XylBot- Abilities: protect
-XylBot- Role: Vigilante (town). You can kill other players. You win when all the bad guys are gone. -XylBot- Abilities: kill
-XylBot- Role: Survivor (survivor). You win if you are alive at the end of the game.

-XylBot- Group abilities: mafiakill
Games in mafia have two phases: day and night. During the night, actions such as kills and inspects are used. These actions all occur at the end of night. During the day, players vote to lynch (kill) a player.
The aim as mafia or sk (commonly called ‘scum’) is to eliminate other players until you have a majority - there are the same number of players on your team as there are on all opposing teams. In addition, scum cannot win while there is another killer alive - this could be another scum, or a vigilante.
The aim as town is to remove all scum from the game. This is usually done through voting. Voting requires a majority of all players alive to decide a lynch. For example, if there are 5 players alive then it requires 3 votes to lynch somebody. The town is an uninformed majority and do not know the alignments of anybody other than themselves, and so they must attempt to work out who the scum is. This can be done through discussion during the day, or with the help of certain roles such as cops during the nighttime.
A common tool used is a massclaim (MC). This involves a player counting down from a number until they reach 0. When 0 is reached, everybody will say their role, anything they’ve done, and anything that happened to them. An example claim here is ‘Cop, inspected George N0, got town’. This means that our player is a cop, chose to inspect George on night zero, and was told that George is town by XylBot.
Obviously, if scum claim Mafioso then town are going to have an easy win. For this reason, scum ‘fakeclaim’. This means that scum will claim a role used by members of the town, such as Townie or Doctor. Scum should be careful however, as some roles have minimum player requirements (such as Doctor only appearing if there are 4 or more players). To see information on a role, type !xmafia help [rolename].
LYLO - LYLO, or Lynch or Lose, is a situation where the town must correctly lynch a scum player in order to preserve their chances of winning. This typically occurs at 5p (with multiple scum) or 3p (where only one scum is left).
MC - MC stands for massclaim, and involves a player counting down from a number until they reach 0. When 0 is reached, everybody will say their role, anything they’ve done, and anything that happened to them.
MYLO - Mylo, or Mislynch and Lose, is a situation that states that if the town were to choose to lynch a player instead of nolynching, the player must be scum in order for town to still be able to win. This typically occurs at 6p (with 2 scum) or 4p (with one scum left).
N0, D3 - These are shorthands to refer to phases of the game. N0 stands for Night 0, and means the first night of a setup. Likewise, D3 means Day 3 - or the third day phase. Note that N0 precedes D1, which precedes N1. Therefore, if the setup begins at day, there will be no N0.
NL - NL, or nolynch, means that the town chooses to end the day with no lynch happening, and the day proceeds to night with no death. A nolynch occurs when half of the players (rounded up) are voting for it.
Scum - A generic name for teams that must be eliminated in order for town to win. Includes Mafia, Serial Killer, and Cult.
SK - This stands for Serial Killer, which is an anti-town alignment. Sometimes called scum.
Surv - Short for Survivor, a neutral alignment.
WIFOM - WIFOM, or Wine In front Of Me, is a thought process. In simple terms, it is the interaction between you and another player based on what you know of them. You think you have a good understanding of what they might do, but do they know that you know and if so, would they change their play because of it? This is not a particularly useful tool, as it repeats ad infinitum.
