Here are the rules and such for the game Mafia, which will be played in chat. Anyone can host their own game. We can also plan out a time to play the game together if needed.

Kudos to this guide.

Scenario
All the players are in a small village being terrorized by the mafia, who join together and kill one person at night, each night. That non-mafia member is found and the rest of the non-mafia members of the village then vote to execute one person who they believe to be a part of the mafia. The civilians must kill all the mafia members before the mafia outlasts them long enough to murder every last villager.

Turn
There are two phases for each turn: day and night. Night comes first, with all the roles tell the moderator in a PM about what they will do that night. Regular villagers are exceptions to this, as they cannot do anything.

Players
Eight or more players is usually needed. Anything less would probably make the game sub-par, but not necessarily.

If there are not enough players, then it's possible that the roles given out will change. For example, if there are only five players total there cannot be three mafia members. If there are thirty players total then there cannot be two mafia members. So on and so forth.

When people are voting in the day, someone can accuse another player of being a part of the mafia. They explain their reason, and then the claim can be seconded. If it has be seconded, then the accused "shall be allowed to state a defense." The moderator then takes a vote. If the majority of the surviving players vote to execute the accused, then the chosen person will die. If there is not a majority, then they will live. If it is not seconded, then the claim is dropped.

If anyone dies from being accused, the turn will end. If nobody is accused or accusations take too much time, nobody will die.

If people survive accusations, then after the second accusation lodged the turn will end. So that's two accusations total limited to each turn.

If there are more mafia members than regular citizens the mafia will win.

If anyone is killed they may not reveal any information about themselves until the end of the game. They cannot vote, cannot continue what jobs their roles fulfilled, etc.

Roles
These roles will be given to players at random. Do not tell your role to anyone else until the end of the game. Roles should normally be kept a secret to everyone. The host, however, can inform other mafia members who is a part of their group and hand out the roles.
 * The mafia, who joins together to vote who to kill. They cannot kill each other. If they do not decide on who to kill each night then the moderator will randomly decide for them. In that event, the moderator can kill any player, even a mafia member.
 * The normal villagers, who can only vote who to execute at day. They can execute anyone.
 * The angel, who can choose a single player to save. They can save anyone from the mafia's attack at night, but cannot protect anyone in the day at execution time. They can choose to save themselves and continuously do so for the entire game, unless they are executed.
 * The detective, who can ask the moderator about the role of one single surviving player.

There can be an all villagers round, where all citizens believe that everyone else is a part of the mafia.

Host
This neutral host does not participate in the game, but instead hands out the roles through PMs in chat. They also should keep track of who is who, because when night comes they will have to ask certain people what they plan to do.

Once night passes they will inform the players of who has died that night and who might have not died because of an angel. They cannot participate otherwise.
