MafiaCental

MafiaCentral is a forum based gaming site dedicated to one specific game: Mafia.

The game of Mafia 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, players assigned to the mafia family become aware of each other (by communication from the moderator). The game typically opens for play between all players with a day scene. During the day, the town must try to weed out the evil by lynching someone they suspect to be mafia. At night, the mafia members all choose a victim and submit their decision to the moderator. The moderator will describe the death scene of that player and day will break again. The game continues, alternating between night and day, until one side is eliminated.

The game of Mafia (in The Real World) is usually run with playing cards representing the possible roles in the game. The moderator secretly distributes the cards to the players, then has everyone put their head down/close their eyes. During the night, the moderator "wakes up" the mafia, and they silently choose a victim. During the day, everyone discusses, argues, screams, and eventually votes for someone to lynch. The cycle repeats until the endgame.

MafiaCentral, however, is devoted to the online version of the game. Online Mafia has the potential for more strategy and subtlety because it removes most of the possibility for cheating and provides players with a chance to form suspicion based on logic and voting patterns instead of facial expression. It also has the potential for just as many (if not more) laughs, because the players can act however they like, no matter how shy they might be in real life.

To give credit where credit is due, most of what you will find in this wiki was lifted from Mafiascum.net. All of the pages have been modified to fit the gameplay style of MafiaCentral.
