Mafia started as a party game, which is not being played online in many different ways. The core aspect of the game is always generally the same. There are two main sides-the "Town" and the "Mafia". The Mafia all know who one another are, and they get a nightly kill. They hide among the other players. The game is divided into two phases-Day and Night. During the day, everyone votes to lynch someone. During the Night, the Mafia kills. Every player has a role, most of which have unique abilities attached to it. For example, the Detective role can commonly investigate a player and find out if they are innocent or guilty. The Framer-a Mafia role-can make it so another player looks guilty when investigated. All these roles have win conditions. For the Town, it's usually to kill all the Mafia. For the Mafia, it's usually to outnumber the Town. There can also be roles with unique win conditions. The Serial Killer commonly strives to be the last one left alive and can kill off other players. The Lovers are two players who strive to end the game alive together.
Themed versions have also become popular. For example, my Ghost Trick Mafia is one such themed game. It takes the core aspects and gives them a Ghost Trick twist. Dead players can now be revived more frequently, and Ghosts play more of a role.
Does anyone else like Mafia?

However, the community is still alive and kicking (I'm one of the admins, as a matter of fact), and we're always looking for new members. There's a link to the website in my signature, if you care to have a look around.

Also, while I must concede that we are relatively low on activity at the moment, the "I'm not joining because there aren't any people" mentality is really detrimental, don't you think? Plus, when the games get going, there's a lot more activity.
P.S. I'm not even sure if you're allowed to play forum games here anymore, since they removed the Berry Big Circus.

It would be sad if no forum games were allowed...

You might want to ask a staffer about running your round. I'd hate to see more Mafia games get kicked out, too.

I've looked at the rules, and I see nothing about forum games not being allowed. We just don't seem to have a section for them anymore.

Also it's totally stopped getting activity just because I'm not making rounds. :3
The last game actually hosted on CR itself can be found in this thread. That was a long time ago though.

If the staff have one rule for everyone, why do you think they're going to change their minds just for you O_o

It's actually right here. You're not looking very hard, bro.
In any case, if forum games are brought back to CR, that's all well and good. Not that it's really a big deal to me, though.
