Ok, I didn't see any mafia games up here, so I'm going to make one of my own.
For those of you who don't know how mafia games work, it's fairly simple. In the basic game, there are two sides, the townies and the mafia. You can put themes on it (like vampires and townies, werewolves and townies, soldiers and terrorists, etc....) but it's all basically the same kind of gameplay.
The basic gameplay goes as such:
Townies don't know who else is a townie.
Mafias know who is mafia and who isn't (there can be some sides besides townie, but I won't delve too deeply into that).
Every "day" phae, both the townies and the mafia vote on who to lynch. The mafia should attempt to get townies lynched if possible, though a streak of townie lynches is probably going to raise suspicion on you. You can use whatever technique you want to get people to vote for who you want them to vote for, but they can backfire.
The "night" phase is simpler. Anybody with a night action, including the mafias daily killing, gets to kill people.
The mafia wins if the mafiosai outnumber the townies.
The townies win if all mafia scum are eliminated.
Since this is the first mafia game and I don't know how experienced these forums are at playing them, it will be a small, quick, and "vanilla" game.
There will be these roles:
Townie: no special abilities, town alligned.
Cop: Can investigate one person per night and tell if they are mafia or not. Town alligned.
Doctor: He can "save" one person per night, meaning if they would get killed that night, they are safe. Town alligned.
Mafiosai: No special abilities, mafia alligned.
Mafia leader: Sends in the mafias night kill, mafia alligned. If the mafia doesn't send in an action, they don't lynch anybody, so obviously you need to be active if you get this role (if you aren't sure, PM me and I can transfer it).
Crazed killer: Kills one random person a night. Wins if he is still alive at the end of the game.
The basic rules are to not be a jackass, and to not go against the spirit of the game (revealing all other mafia members when you die if you are a mafia, for example).
Also, you may make one post after you are killed, and you cannot post at night, at all. Any posting at night will cause you to be warned once, then replaced.

EDIT: I noticed I left things out.
Since this is going to be a quick and small mafia game, I will be enforcing a time limit of two RL days per day and one RL day per night, except the first day, which is going to be three RL days due to the fact it is always slow.
Tips and tricks:
FoS means finger of suspicion. If you don't want to actually cast a vote for somebody, use this and explain why you are suspicious of them.
Roleclaiming: If you want to claim you are the cop and get a mafiosai killed, it MIGHT just work. Of course, it might get you nightkilled the next day and have NOBODY beleive you. Also, mafias, you could try roleclaiming a cop and getting a townie lynched.
There are no trick roles in this game. Be happy, because I've been known to be a bastard mod (somebody who fills games with tons of tricky roles and zaniness).
I can't control PMing each other about the game, but it is considered very taboo and is an offense that will result in your immediate kicking from the game. If somebody sends you messages, do not respond, just report them to me.
