Welcome to Cop Central, a bustling police academy - or it used to be one, before one of the cops, who was apparently a secret mafia spy, started killing the others and carving the mark of the mafia into their corpses. The detectives would investigate, except that the detective training facility was burned to the ground, with the teachers and trainees still inside. Now only five cops in various stages of training remain. One of them is the killer. So the remaining five cops trained themselves to become detectives. A few detective movies later, and our new detectives are ready to investigate. Interrogate the other detectives, depicher their true identities and intents, and solve the murder mystery before it's too late - just like a real hard-boiled detective!

The players are divided into two teams: citizens and mafia. The last team standing wins. (If a team is assured a victory, then the game is ended early.) There are two phases: day and night. During the day phase, everybody, both good and bad, publicly discusses and chooses one person to lynch. During the night, there is no discussion, and the mafia kill one person of their choosing. In public discussion, just about anything goes. You may lie, cheat, and make assertions. Players can communicate using private messages or PMs. However, when an admin contacts you, you must tell the truth, for the admins know all. You cannot post screenshots of any PMs (administrator or otherwise), quote an admin's PMs (although you can quote another player's PMs), or post or PM any material that proves your role, although you can claim any role you choose. If you have a night ability, you will tell me who to target during the night phase through PMs. The following day phase, I will post the names of the dead and reveal their roles. Once you are dead, you may not participate in the game in any way. If you have any unanswered questions, post them in the forum so I can clear up any gray areas. If you plan to join, you should be online at least once a week (and ideally more often than that), and willing to participate no matter what role you receive. When there are at least 7 players alive, night phases last 4 days, and day phases last 10 days. When there are 6 or less players alive, night phases alternate between lasting 3 and 4 days, and day phases last 7 days. Players are ousted for inactivity for an entire in-game day unless prior notice is publicly provided. All roles are determined using a true random number generator (RANDOM.org). Don't forget to track the forums of the games you are playing in! Clarifications: Groups are defined pre-game. Group members know each other. Group members cannot target any person in their group. The mafia have an internal ranking system. The highest-ranked mafia (the boss) in a group chooses the target, while the lowest-ranked mafia (the hitman) actually performs the kill. The hitman is vulnerable to grannies, and if the hitman is blocked, the kill does not go through. Groups that do not have an internal ranking systen choose each night who performs the action and who is the target. That person will be vulnerable to grannies, and if that person is blocked, the action does not go through. Order of operation: Block, Protect, Kill, Inspect. (Jailers fall under "block".) All jails happen simultaneously; all blocks happen simultaneously; all protects happen simultaneously; all kills happen simultaneously; all inspects happen simultaneously. Details of each role will vary from game to game, and will be detailed in the role messages sent out pre-game. In open games (where all roles are known), the role message templates will be posted publicly. The admins have the final say on any game-related issue. If not explicitly stated, assume the following: No role may target themselves. Group members have one collective action. If two roleblockers target each other, both roleblockers are roleblocked. Sheriffs receive the alignment of the person they investigate (citizen or mafia). Doctors protect their target(s) from any and all kills from anyone and everyone. Grannies cannot control their night action. Grannies can be roleblocked and jailed. If a player targets a granny at night, the action still goes through (so if a mafia or vigilante targets a granny, both the mafia/vigilante and the granny die). If a jailer and a roleblocker target each other, the jailer jails the roleblocker. If two jailers target each other, both jailers are held in captivity. If a jailer is killed, his target still remains in captivity for the remainder of the night. A jailer cannot jail the same person two nights in a row, but any other role can target the same person two nights in a row. A jailer will not learn the role of his target, and his target will not learn anything about his jailer or even know that he has been jailed.

It's all fun and forum games until somebody gets hacked. ShiViChess was reminiscing about the old Corrupt-a-wish, back when the group was thriving. He decided to pay his respects at the final forum of Mafia 8. But when he tried to find the group, he noticed it wasn't there. Not that the group was a ghost town, but that it was gone. In fact, falling-upwards was completely gone: his profile page returned a 404 error, every chess game he had played was gone, Corrupt-a-wish had disappeared. falling-upwards had been obliterated from chess.com. But it didn't stop there. Other accounts were also missing. FatalFox, oinquarki, Behemoth1, D_Plew, even RedSoxpawn: all of them were gone. Something sinister was occurring: every player from every Mafia game was being systematically expunged from chess.com. What was going on? Thankfully B_Cuzican's account was still active: he had stopped playing mafia, but he hadn't stopped playing on chess.com. But then the page refreshed itself, and his account was gone, just like the others'. His profile page, his chess games, his every post, all gone. The last mafia game had just finished, and ShiViChess was about to start the next, but that would have to wait. The safety of the members is more important. Suddenly, the mafia games seem much more sinister. What happened to our peaceful pastime? But there no time to think about that. There's no time, not even for a subtitle, because mafia just got real.

I guess, maybe we should have some more games here... make this group like the abandoned "Corrupt-a-wish" group. So, you guys probably know how this works; you look at the word posted by the last person, and then post the first word you think of, that has to do with the previous word. So I'll start: Purple

The citizens of the original island had survived. Thanks to the mafia, the citizens of the other two islands are now all sleeping with the fishes, but where the others had failed, the citizens succeeded in saving the first island from the fate of the other two. The two survivors of the struggle had begun a reconstruction: burnt-down houses were rebuilt, blood stains on the ground were covered by new gravel roads, and four more people had moved to the island - with a great deal of persuasion, of course. The original island seemed well on course to return to its former state of glory, back before three of the islanders had gone rogue. But that all changed when one of the islanders was found dead in a pool of his own blood. One bullet had gone clean through his head, another had nicked his ear. Two bullets, two mafia. The mafia were clearly running out of skilled members: only one of them could even aim, and they were both stupid enough to announce their presence. But even so, the mafia would be difficult to beat. All it took was two deaths, and the mafia would have control of the first and last island. But the citizens were tired of playing by the rules the mafia set. This time, they weren't the only ones with guns: all the citizens had them too, and if a citizen was lynched, you can bet they wouldn't go down without taking another life with them. The mafia may have been able to kill one person overnight, but the citizens weren't going to give them another chance to kill again. This time, the mafia aren't the only ones out for blood.

I'm sure you know how to play. If twenty questions are reached and no one guessed it right, you can either keep going or just tell the answer. Rules: Your question must be a yes-no question. Don't do anything too specific. Multiple questions in a single post ARE allowed. Guesses count as questions. Don't try to cheat. Other common sense rules.

The mafia have finally done it. They had failed five times, but they finally killed every last inhabitant on the island. None remained, and the island would remain that way. But you forget one thing... that island wasn't the first. The third island was finally devoid of human life, but there were two other islands. The second was wiped clean before the rebellion really got anywhere, but the first island is still inhabited by its citizens. It's funny: the other islands had been razed, but the original - the birthplace of the mafia, and the site of the First Mafia War - it still stands. And the island has survived for a long time - too long for the mafia's taste. But soon... that will all change. The mafia have dispatched their two best agents to exterminate the remaining people and end what they have started once and for all. But the citizens aren't completely helpless. Quite the opposite, actually: they have been preparing for the mafia's return, and the battle-hardened citizens are armed - with guns, with lock picks, with medkits, but above all, with their voice, their vote, and their will. Both sides are prepared, and both are determined to win. But who will? It's up to you.

The inner city has always been rife with crime. Multiple crime rings and gangs jostled for control of the city. Serial killers and suicide bombers racked up the body count. The corrupt police detained people on a whim, and kept them around indefinitely. But recently, the conflict just stepped up a notch. The crime bosses and gang leaderss have formed tentative alliances, becoming centers of organized crime. The police has ordered all the citizens to do their bidding, using them as meatshields and cannon fodder. The two sides have obliterated each other in their struggle to gain ground, and now only seven remain. Two of them are on the side of order and crime, four on the side of justice and corruption, and the other guy, well, nobody knows about him. The two sides, seeing how drastically their numbers have been reduced, have switched tactics, opting for a more stealthy approach. During the day, eveybody acts innocent, but during the night, everybody stealthily performs their job: investigating, detaining, killing. With two killers on the loose, the conflict won't last long, but it remains to see who will win, and who will join the dead masses.

Twenty years after the Seventh Mafia War: The island has bounced off Antarctica and returned to its original location in the Caribbean Sea. The houses have been swept away by the wind, the blood of the dead hidden behind a fresh layer of lush, green grass, the lifeless bodies decomposed, returning nutrients to the now fertile soil. And crawling out from the abyss is a man, ragged and unkempt. He lies on the edge of the cliff, catching his breath, and silently reveling in the fact that he finally made it out of that endless pit. But first he goes to the river and takes a nice, long bath - the first he's had in what seems like forever. And with that bath, the last traces of the Seventh Mafia War were washed away. After another decade: Finally, a trip to the Caribbean! It's been your lifelong dream to visit the Caribbean islands, and now it's finally coming true! You chose Mafia Island after you heard the story of the guy running the place. Of course, the story seems ridiculously blown out of proportion, but if there's even an ounce of truth in the story you found on the Internet on that guy, this trip will be worth every penny. As your boat docks in the port and you take the tour of Mafia Island, you marvel at how beautiful the place is. The ground is covered with blooming flowers among waves of lush grass, the sun shines brightly, adding a slight sparkle to the sea of color, and a gentle breeze rolls across the island. It's hard to think that this place of purity and perfection could ever have been plagued with war, and nearly impossible to believe that there were four Mafia Wars on this island, and three more elsewhere. But if the story of the island's only permanent resident is to be believed, then that is exactly what had happened. As you move towards the town in the center of the island, you overhear the other tourists talking about the story of the island. You let out a sigh of relief, glad to know you aren't the only one who has the heard the story with doubts about its authenticity. Just then you catch a glimpse of a hole in the ground on the other side of the island. It looks like there could be a cave there. You climb up a nearby rock to get a better view of the area, and see that the hole is actually an entrance for a network of tunnels. Opening your calendar, you set aside a day for exploring the area, and then return to walking to the town. You reach the town and continue to the lodging. You reserve a room for yourself, and the guy at the counter gives you your room key and a tourist guide, noticing that your guide is blue while the rest of the tourist guides are green. Hmmm... why is your guide different? Ah, forget it. You decide to read the guide later - after you've unpacked and gotten a good night's sleep. The next day: You wake up to a blood red sky. Weird. You've never seen the sky like that before. But then again, you've never been on Mafia Island before. Certain that blood red skies are common here, you get out of bed and prepare for a day of sightseeing and exploration. The Man From The Abyss will be hosting a welcome festival at eleven, and you do not want to miss it! After changing and eating breakfast, you walk to the Town Square and find a good spot. You notice that the people standing next to you also have blue tourist guides, and, remembering that you haven't opened your guide, take this moment to do so. You open your guide, and don't notice anything that makes it different. The guide has everything you expected: the story of Mafia Island and the Man From The Abyss, a map of the island, and a schedule of events. However, your guide feels thicker than a normal tourist guide. Why? What could this guide be concealing? Then you get an idea. What if there are two layers to the tourist guide because something is between them? From your backpack you take out a pocket knife, and you separate the two layers of the guide, very carefully and discreetly - you wouldn't have received a hidden message if others were meant to know about it. You slide you hand inside, and, feeling a piece of paper, pull it out. The paper reads: "This is a message from the Man From The Abyss. I have sent this message to you because the island is once again threatened by Mafia. During the Seventh Mafia War, the mafia killed all the citizens - except for me. They thought I died when I jumped into the abyss, but I survived and revived the island. So they're coming back to finish the job. The mafia want me dead and the island permanently vacant, and they are already among us, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The morning they strike, there will be a blood red sky. They will kill me, destroy the boats, and pick off every person one by one until there are no more people left.That's why I need you. Even if I die, you can still kill the mafia and save the island. In the same spot you found this letter are a pair of handcuffs and a keychain. In the event that I should die, you will retrieve a scrap of paper from my shirt pocket and read its contents to the people remaining on the island. You will then assume the role of jailer. As jailer, you can handcuff one person and send him to jail for one night. Nobody will be able to visit people in jail, and nobody in jail can leave to do other things. Choose your target wisely, though: jailing a mafia could save a life, but jailing a doctor could allow the Mafia to kill another innocent. During the day, you and the other people on the island (including the mafia) will hang one person. Don't let the mafia trick you into believing that they are not! If you do, then you guarantee the death of every innocent on the island. Memorize these instructions, and destroy this message. Good luck, citizen. You're going to need it." You read the paper a couple of times, then, since there is no fire, swallow the paper. After making sure that the handcuffs and keychain are in the tourist guide, you fold up the guide and put it in your backpack. You check your watch, and you see it change from 10:59 to 11:00. Right on schedule, the Man From The Abyss comes out! The audience claps and cheers for the man who recreated Mafia Island for tourists to see. Once the crowd quiets down, the man starts speaking: "Hello, and welcome to Mafia Island! This island is a historical landmark for the Mafia Wars. Four times the mafia have come to kill the citizens of Mafia Island, and every time they have failed. The mafia had me cornered, but I decided to jump into the abyss instead of letting them kill me. The mafia left me for dead, but I miraculously survived!" Then you hear hear two loud bangs, and the Man falls off the stage. From here, you can clearly see two bullet holes embedded in his skull. "Two mafia," you think to yourself. But you don't get any more time to think: the panicked crowd rushes towards the escape boats, and before you can even turn around, the crowd sweeps you up, along with one of the mafia. But the other mafia escapes the retreating crowd and fires five more bullets into the crowd, and one of the bullets finds your knee. Crippled, you fall to the ground, sprawled across the grass, your wounded knee bleeding profusely, your eyes struggling to keep open, your body trampled by the crowd running to escape this Vacation from Hell. Across the hall, the Man From The Abyss goes into a flying tackle and pins the mafia to the ground. With a burst of strength, he lifts the mafia into the air and throws him into the abyss. Then the old man collapses onto the ground. It took three decades, but the mafia finally killed the last citizen from the Seventh Mafia War. For you to continue...
