It was another fine day in Route 66. The attacking team was setting up their strategy in The Panorama Diner (which mostly consisted of all choosing the same hero and having a laugh before deciding on a poorly optimized composition) while the defending team was outside sitting on the payload instead of setting up defenses at the choke point next to the gas station. This match was special though. For no real reason at all, the servers had locked down all other matchmaking and had forced all players into spectating this match. Even worse, it looked like the defending team had gotten way more players than the attacking team.

Sample Role PMs:

Now entering Route 66

Prepare your defenses.
You are town.

Welcome to Overwatch Mafia.

You have selected <insert hero name here>.

You are a Town <insert role name here>.

You win when the attacking team (scum) has been eliminated.

Now entering Route 66

Prepare to attack.
You are mafia.

Welcome to Overwatch Mafia.

You have selected <insert hero name here>.

You are a Mafia <insert role name here>.

The factional kill command is KILL <playername>. Defense players are scrubs so it&#8217;s usually that easy.

The scum thread can be found [REDACTED] and your teammates are [REDACTED]

You win when you are able to overwhelm the defending team (town). In other words, you win when you control 50% of the votes.

Fundamental:
1. All site-wide rules are also applicable here. Please do not tarnish this community.
2. Unless your role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, discussion about this game is strictly confined to this thread.
3. Unless your role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, do not quote or posts screen-shots of any PMs or posts that were not made in this thread. Obviously this is a grey area, but please try and play sportingly.
4. Within reason, you are allowed to lie about any game material or game-related conversations that could conceivably have appeared outside this thread [such as the content of role PMs or private chats allowed by a role]. If unsure whether a lie is reasonable, please ask the game-runner.
5. Do not refer or discuss to player activity in other forum threads or life in general beyond the game.
6. The player list includes the preferred personal pronoun of each player. Please try to use the correct pronoun.
7. Please be nice to your fellow players. Mafia can be a tense experience, and occasionally aggressive play is useful, but remember this is game and that everyone should have fun.

Activity and Deadlines:
8. Treat this game as a commitment. Remember that other players' fun is dependent on your participation; this game only works if you remain reasonably active.
9. If you do not post in this thread at least once per Day Phase period without prior permission, you will be sent a PM requesting you respond immediately (a "prod"). If you do not respond to a prod by the end of the following Night Phase, you will be replaced.
10. If you need an extended period of absence for some other issues in life, please notify the game-runner by PM in advance. Leave of up to one Day and Night Phase (five days) is possible.
11. If you expect to be unable to post for a period of 7 days, please notify the game-runner by PM so that you can be replaced in good time - we're sad to see you go, but other players need to be able to continue to play.
12. Each Day Phase will last 4 days. Day Phases officially begin when the game-runner notifies players in the game thread, and end exactly 96 hours later (by NeoGAF post time-stamps).
13. Each Night phase will last 3 days. Night Phases officially begin when the game-runner notifies players in the game thread, and end exactly 72 hours later (by NeoGAF post time-stamps).
14. If a Phase ends and the game-runner has not received an action PM from a player with a relevant action, then that Phase will end with that that player making no action.
15. In the event of a day ending with no player having a plurality of the votes, then the game will proceed to the next night phase with nobody lynched ("no-lynch").
16. If a replacement is needed, they may PM the game-runner once to request the Night Phase in which they join is extended by up to 2 days, to allow catch-up time.
17. Game-runners may change the length of Phases at their discretion. However, they will inform players at the start of the equivalent Phase before (i.e., if Day 7 is set to be shortened, players will be no later than the start of Day 6).

Voting, Lynching, and Death:
18. For your vote to count, it must be presented in the following format: VOTE: playername, via use of the highlight tag. It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text.
19. To remove a vote from a player, you must present in the following format: UNVOTE: playername, via use of the highlight tag. It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text. It is not necessary to unvote before casting new vote for a different player; unvoting is simply to remove a vote without casting a new one.
20. Players may use VOTE: No Lynch to end the Day Phase without a lynch ("No Lynch"). It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text.
21. Misspelt votes will be accepted within reason; if the game-runner is unsure they will notify you and in the meanwhile discount the vote. Votes in broken tags will not count.
22. Once someone has received a strict majority (>50%) of the available votes, the day ends with the Lynch of that player or a No Lynch (whichever applies). Once this has happened, any further votes or unvotes that Phase will not be counted, and the Night Phase will begin shortly.
23. Some roles take place between the end of the Day Phase and the start of the Night Phase, so game-runners may allow a short period of time for this "Twilight Phase". Unless your role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, do not post during the Twilight Phase.
24. Once you are dead, you are dead: you may no longer discuss the game in ANY manner with ANY of the remaining players. Dead players may PM the game-runner one last message for the other players (a "Will"), which the game-runner will post on their behalf in the thread. The sole condition is that it contains NO game-relevant information, e.g. "Thanks guys for an excellent game!" is allowed, "My partner was John!" is not.

The Dead Thread:
25. To allow dead players to freely discuss the game with other dead players, a secret thread will be created.
27. The Dead Thread will also be made available to non-players, provided they have played in at least one GAF mafia game before in which they did not go inactive. These non-players will also be disbarred from the replacement list.

Other:
28. Outside of votes and explicit allowances made by role PMs, the use of the highlight tag is strictly the game-runner's prerogative. Do not use it.
29. You may not put any active players in this game on your ignore list. If you have an active player on your ignore list, please remove them. Obviously this is on the honor system, but please don't do it, or joke about doing it.
30. Do not edit your posts. If you are a repeat offender, a replacement will be sought.
31. Do not use the email tags to hide extra content in your posts.
32. A list of the votes so far (a "Vote Count") can be requested by contacting any game-runner or game-tutor.
33. Game-runners reserve the right to add, remove, or modify existing any rules at any point, and enforcement may be applied retroactively. However, all players will be informed of changes, and changes will be consistent across games.
34. In general, do not try and exploit loop-holes in the rules.
35. Completed GAF games are often read by people thinking of signing up in the future. As such, please keep your avatar spoiler free - it should not allude to your role or alignment.

-This game is a role madness game. There are no vanilla townies or mafia goons.

-This is not a bastard game. The moderator will never lie to a player.

-This is your only warning. Flavor is just flavor. I play hard and fast with what I write and it is not indicative of any mechanics that may or may not be present. If you want to look like a fool reading into it, be my guest.

-The choosing of which heroes were scum was done completely at random. Preconceptions of who is good or bad does not transfer over to this game.

-This game will run at a 48/24 pace the entire way through. This means that day phases are 48 hours and night phases are 24 hours. I reserve the right to extend or shorten either of those due to scheduling or extreme circumstances but warning will always be given.

-Night actions are due to me 3 hours before day start. I will personally confirm all night actions back to you via PM, if you have not heard from me and you sent in your action, assume that I did not receive it. If no PM has been received, I will assume that you are taking No Action

-Vote counts will be done manually and can be found here

Day 1 End
Day 2 Start
Day 2 End
Day 3 Start
Day 3 End
Day 4 Start
Day 4 End

Day 6 ends in:

All my knowledge of Overwatch is that:

1. It's a Blizzard's game.
2. It's a FPS.
3. People like to make a lot of fan art of it.

I knew I forgot something when I was typing out the game specific rules. Added this and highlighting it since people probably read or skipped my opening posts already.

Role PMs are going out now, if you don't know what you are in the next hour or so then I've probably done something horribly wrong.
