“Hey, wait up, you guys! Mom let me go with you, but she wanted an adult to watch us so we wouldn’t get hurt!” A boy ran up to a group of children, all of them about ten years old.

“Ehh, I get that she means well, but the forest isn’t that big! I’ve walked around here a million times, and I’ve always been able to get back home easily. She shouldn’t be worrying so much!” a girl replied, carrying a large picnic basket stuffed with treats and snacks.

“I... I don’t know the forest that well, so Mom might be right...” The boy shivered in fright.

The girl rolled her eyes. “Well, if you don’t wanna come, don’t. We’re telling spooky stories in a spooky forest, so don’t come if you get scared easy.”

The boy nervously looked around, then sighed. “I’ll come, if an adult comes too.” The girl frowned in response.

“I dunno who could watch us...” She scanned the town for any older people to accompany them.

“Hey, wait! Do you see that older girl over there? Hmm, maybe she’d be our adult, so your mom doesn’t keep you home.” Another boy pointed at a girl standing outside the forest.

“Oh, I see her. Let me go up to her, maybe she could join us for our campfire storytelling!” The basket-carrying girl skipped over to the teenager, who stared out into the town. “Hello! Do you wanna come with us? We’re going into the forest, and telling ghost stories. It’s a contest to see who’s the scariest!”

The teen blinked at her in confusion, and the girl felt her hopes fall. But after a second to think, the other girl smiled at her and nodded. “Sure. I didn’t really have much to do, so I could come with you guys.”

“Oh, oh! If you’re going to come with us, what’s your name?” The younger girl bounced up and down in excitement. A new friend?

“Well, you can call me... Sky.” The long pause was proof that ‘Sky’ wasn’t her real name.

“Hi, Sky. I’m...” The girl frowned, her face screwing up. “You’re not telling me your name, so I’m Owl!”

Sky smiled faintly. “Fair enough. Should we get going, then?”

Owl bobbed her head energetically. “Yeah!”

1. This game will run on a 48/24 cycle, meaning that days will be 48 hours and nights will be 24 hours long, with lockdown happening during 19:00 FRT.
2. This game is non-b*stard, meaning that I will not intentionally lie to you. However, there may be roles which alter investigation results. When a player dies, they will show up as the alignment they would appear as if they were investigated that night.
3. The game is non-rp, meaning that roleplaying is neither required nor encouraged.
4. This game is role-madness! Everyone will get a role so it’ll be fun and maybe chaotic :)
5. Lynch votes are to be submitted before EoTD. Night actions are to be submitted before EoTN.
6. Town wins when all mafia are eliminated and there is at least one town player alive.
7. Mafia wins when all town members are dead, or when nothing can stop this, and there is at least one mafia member alive.

1. All FR rules apply to this game as well~ Don't break 'em.
2. Be courteous to each other! This is a mafia game and there will be accusations, but do not offend the player personally. If anyone feels offended (even if it's by me!), do not hesitate to PM me on FR or Discord.
3. Don't copy and paste/ screenshot anything the mod tells you privately. This includes rolecards and anything the mod tells you in your QT.
   Agrina and I have put a lot of effort into putting this game together! Please respect me and your fellow players, and don't gamethrow (go against your wincon).
4. You are required to post at least two times per day cycle (day/night). I’m not a cruel, heartless monster though, so I'll make exceptions to this if needed.
5. Mod is not lynchable.
6. Do not edit or delete posts. Double-posts are the only exception to this rule.
7. No out of thread communication allowed unless it is in mod-created quicktopics, whether it is with other players or subs. You may talk to specs about the game but they must not reply.
8. Respect the spirit of the rules and don't try to find loopholes through them. Or I will smite you with angry lightning eyes.

The twilight shadows painted the trees with unsettling shapes, but the fire crackling merrily in the pit of wood and stones was the center of attention. The smell of toasting marshmallows wafted through the air, and laughter echoed in the dark forest.

“Stop, stop,” Owl giggled out. “So you got scared when those long balloons fell on you because you thought it was a snake?”

The boy next to her pouted. “Yes... Don’t make fun of me, okay!? It- it was a lot scarier in person!”

Owl clamped a hand over her mouth to stop her snickering, before smiling crookedly at the boy. “Okay then. So, who wants to go next?” she asked, pitching her voice louder. “Make it scarier than his, I don’t think all of us are so easy to spook.”

Sky chuckled lightly. “You want scary?” The other kids nodded eagerly. “Okay, then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“Let me tell you a story about a strange little town, built deep within these woods...”

“...The town was a sleepy place, even though humans, magical beings and mythical creatures lived together.”

Mythical creatures? I’ve heard of those before! Like unicorns, and sphinxes, and platypuseses...

Platypodes aren’t mythical creatures. Now let me tell my story, please.

“The humans were unaware of the existence of the unusual beings living with them, because they used illusions that concealed their true forms, and stopped using magic in the open. Most of the creatures had hoped to reveal themselves peacefully to the humans after years of coexisting without causing fear or hatred, but all good things must end. The peaceful town fell apart once the townsfolk found the broken body of a human resident lying in the fountain. The human’s body bore huge scratches and bites that didn’t look like knife or sword wounds, sending the town into a panic with ideas of bloodthirsty monsters.”

Yeah, but hadn’t the people in the town lived in peace for a long time? Why would they think there were monsters trying to kill them?

Well, the town was peaceful, but a sudden attack would be jarring for people accustomed to peace. So the residents were afraid, because they weren’t expecting anything like that.

“Anyway, because of the murder, the mayor, in their cowled cloak, called for silence and issued a decree- no one could leave the town before they caught the killer. The residents protested, scared and fearful, but the mayor kept an eye on the borders and herded back anyone trying to leave. They had sworn to find the ones responsible, even if their life was taken in the process. So they also decided to make the residents talk amongst each other, to root out the killers from the innocent. Little did they know what they were getting into...”

Stormdreamer has died. They were Human Townsperson.
Day 1 has begun! You may start posting now.
Day 1 will end at 19:00 FRT, Wednesday 13 November. Remember to submit votes on the lynch thread by then!

Wait, so death right out the gate? Um... oops? Well, I'm Dragonclaw101. Call me what you wish, any pronouns, no D1 lynch, pretty please don't roleclaim

oh eek, a death already? F
uhhh anyways hi i'm cattington or claw, you can call me either one! she/her!
i have anxiety and am kind of nervous about talking; i'll try to be as talkative as i can but my lack of discussion has gotten me quickly lynched in other mafia games before

aight I've started the game a bit early so that you guys get more time familiarising with each other <3 Remember to read the rules if you haven't, especially if you're new to forum mafia!

I've linked the lynch thread at the top of the page, that's where you submit votes!

If you have any questions about the game, ping me in the thread or ask in your quicktopic. If it's anything specific about your role, you must ask it in your quicktopic :3 You can ask hypotheticals ("if I roleblock a player who is killing me, do I die?") about game mechanics in the thread if you want.

I can refuse to answer any questions you ask within reason :P
