The seas were silent, no vessels in sight. The sun was slowly rising. But then…

"Hello!"

It was a Bear! What a rare sight! It had been over four years since a bear had been spotted in the rowdy seas of Mafiera. What does he have to say?

"It's horrible! These seas have been so peaceful for so long, but now… the Loveless have returned! And they want to destroy love! This simply cannot be!"

Soon enough everyone knew what had to be done. Only way to defeat the Loveless would be to gather an armada of Love Boats, ready to battle against the Loveless.

But this time, something was quite different. The battle for love was going to become much more difficult in…

Sample Role PM:

Welcome to the Love Boat Spin-Off Mafia!

You and another anonymous player have invaded the body of a costume account Placeholder. You both will post in the game using this same account.

You are aligned with THE BOATS which means Town.

Your shared role is Vanilla Town. You have no special powers, but may vote.

If your shared costume account dies during the game, both of you leave the game in the process.

You do not know who the other player controlling the account is. But you both share the same alignment and role.

You may talk with the other player in the special Partner Chat during the game. You both must use the singular costume account to post in that chat.

You win the game, when all threats to THE BOATS have been defeated.

Generic Lovers Chat OP:

The thread titles for these chats follow the template of THE LOVE BOAT OF... OF X! (So for example: THE LOVE BOAT... OF ROWING BOAT!)

Welcome to your very own SPECIAL LOVEBOAT!

The two souls controlling this costume account may communicate here privately.

Normal thread rules apply.

It is up to your discretion, if you want to reveal your identities to each other.

You can only use the costume account to post here.

What Is Mafia?

Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a famous social deduction game that puts two teams against each other: Town and Mafia. Mafia players know who everyone in their team is, while Town players only know their own alignment. Cut into two 'Phases', Day and Night, the game entails Town trying to eliminate the Mafia via discussion and voting while the Mafia are trying to not get caught in order to match or outnumber the Town in order to win.

Interested in joining or learning more? Check out our MafiERA OT!

Fundamentals:
1. All site-wide rules apply here.
2. Do not use slurs or bigoted language.
3. Please do not put active players on an ignore list during a game.
4. Unless explicitly told otherwise, players may not discuss this game outside of this thread.
5. Unless the gamerunner explicitly states otherwise, players may not quote or repost conversations or posts from outside of this thread. Players may NOT quote a majority of their role PMs.
6. Players are allowed to lie, within reason, about any game-related material such as the content of a role PM.
7. Please do not refer to, or discuss, player activity outside of this thread, for the sake of the game's integrity. This includes discussing circumstances around player replacement. Players (including the replacing player) should not refer to reasons for or behavior around replacements.
8. Please respect all of your fellow community members in terms of personhood and accessibility. In this community we require that you respect person's pronouns and be aware of accessibility when using non-default text (do not change text color unnecessarily and be mindful of small and large fonts' impact on readability). [Era has a public pronoun feature. It is not required to play in our games but we encourage its use.]
9. Failure to adhere to a player's personal pronoun will result in a private warning. On the second offense that player will be removed from the game.

Game Behavior:
10. While mafia can be an intense and stressful game, with play becoming heated at times, please try to keep discussion as respectful and congenial as possible. Take a break if you feel heated. If someone is breaking a rule you are encouraged to alert your gamerunner and game watchers. Reports about in-game action and behavior will be handled by them, and the gamerunner will issue final rulings in the event of disagreements. If you need any support or assistance, reach out to a gamerunner or watcher.
11. Being overly hostile towards your fellow players is not allowed. If the gamerunner and game watchers find a player has been overly aggressive, action will be taken. First a private warning via PM will be given. Failure to stop the behavior will then result in another private warning and the offender will be given a priority penalty. If these behaviors still continue then that player will be removed from the game.
12. Treat players, gamerunners, and game watchers with respect. Players who are bothered by behavior they perceive as uncomfortable or as targeted aggression should make their positions clear in game as everyone has a different threshold. If a player feels someone has crossed a line they should contact the gamerunner and game watchers, listed in the first post, about the issue.
13. Players should not perform moderator actions in game, including using highlight text outside of voting, using highlight text to submit false or restricted commands, issuing day-end/start commands, or calling for the modkill or replacement of another player. Encouraging others to break these rules is also not allowed. While we understand mafia can be an intense experience, and players may wish to discuss in-game moderation decisions with the gamerunner, once a gamerunner makes a decision, please respect it as final.

Activity:
14. Players are required to post a minimum of 10 posts per day phase. Failure to adhere to this will result in a private warning. On the second offense that player will be removed from the game.
15. If a player posts fewer than 5 posts in a day phase without alerting the gamerunner to their absence, they will be removed from the game without a warning.
16. If you are unable to continue playing for whatever reason, please contact your gamerunner.
17. If a replacement is added to the game, they may request the current/upcoming night phase to be extended up-to 48 hours to allow time to catch up.
18. Please do not theorize or discuss the reasons behind a player's replacement during a game.
19. Do not talk about replacing out of the game. Please contact the gamerunner.

Voting:
20. In order to vote for another player to be voted out, you must present it on its own line and in the following format with no spaces: [ HIGHLIGHT ]VOTE: playername[ /HIGHLIGHT ]. Any other format will not be accepted.
21. To remove a vote from a player, you may simply vote for another player, or you may present it on its own line and in the following format with no spaces: [ HIGHLIGHT ]UNVOTE[ /HIGHLIGHT ].
22. Players may vote for a "No Vote" to end the day phase without a player being voted out. This is done by using the formatting above and typing: [ HIGHLIGHT ]VOTE: No Vote[ /HIGHLIGHT ].
23. When a player has received a strict majority of available votes (>50%), the day phase ends with the removal of that player. Once a day phase has ended any in-game discussion stops and votes cast after that will not be counted.

Death and the Spectator Thread:
24. Once you are dead, you may no longer discuss the game in any manner with any of the remaining players.

Other:
25. Do not edit your posts or hide content in the formatting. Repeat offenders will be removed from the game.
26. If a player is replaced or modkilled due to any rule-breaking or being under the minimum post count limit, they will have end-game priority when signing up for a spot in their next game.
27. Gamerunners reserve the right to add, remove, or modify existing any rules at any point, and enforcement may be applied retrospectively. However, all players will be informed of changes beforehand.
28. Players may not be replaced during the last third of an ongoing phase; replacements at that point may be held until end-of-phase. This will be up to the gamerunner and the player's discretion. (This rule is in testing phase.)

---

Game Specific Rules:
1. Every player is a member of a Lovers pair with another player. Once one pair member is eliminated, the other leaves the game as well.
2. This is also a costume game. All players play using costume accounts. You may not post in the game thread with your regular account.
3. In combination of the rules above, both players of the same Lovers pair only have access to a shared, singular costume account. This means they both post using the same account. Players can only use the Costume account while posting to any game-specific chats outside this Game Thread as well.
4. Each costume account has only one vote each, players behind the accounts cannot have individual votes.

Is this secretly James Bond mafia? Because most of these watercraft Bond has been on in at least one movie.

I didn't know Bond has been on a Beluga Whale, Giant Rubber Duck and a Skiff.

I guess I should start watching those movies...

Players, attention please.

It's come to my attention that, since you are sharing accounts and drafts are saved every 60 seconds, some of you are running into drafts of messages that the other player is writing. Would you like the draft option disabled for the duration of this game?
 
Beluga Whale

I would be ok with disabling drafts for that reason, as worst case you could just use Notepad or similar to write drafts there

I think that the draft option should be disabled for this game. It being enabled can mess with the integrity of the game, should the worst come to pass.

The Bear looks at all of the boats and the anonymous people around him in middle of the ocean

.

“Welcome! It is time… for the ultimate decisive battle between love and the loveless!”

“Uhh… if this is a decisive battle, why is this gathering called The Spin-off?”

Bear promptly ignored the question, and instead started the engines of his little bear boat.

“We only have so much time before the loveless devour everything! We must protect love at all costs”

“Ahem…”

A strange noise echoed in the ocean. Bear wasn’t sure who was talking. “Yeah?”

All the other boaters looked around, until they noticed… a bird.
