Social Geeks

Let's play Mafia together!
Locations: Oodi library, Group room #8 (2nd floor).

Mafia is a role playing social deduction game. People sit around the table, and are secretly assigned a role. The role divides them in two teams:
- Mafia (minority)
- Citizens (uninformed majority).

Members in the Mafia team know each other, but the citizens don't. You are not allowed to reveal your role in any way.

Each turn consists of a night time and day time.
During the night:
The Mafia team secretly "kills" one member of the Citizens.
Players with special roles (detailed below) secretly use their ability.
During the day:
Everyone presents their opinions on who they think are in the Mafia team, or present arguments as to why they are not in the Mafia team if they have been accused.
Vote for those players you think are in the Mafia team - those who get a majority vote (>= 50%) will get a chance to present their defense.
Vote to "eliminate" 1 person in the defense - the accused will not be eliminated if there are no votes or gets <50% of the votes.

The game continues until either the Citizens eliminate all Mafia members, or the Mafia becomes the majority.

Special roles at our game party:
Doctor (Citizen team):
At each night, you can save a player who you think the Mafia team has killed. That player cannot be killed by the Mafia team that night, and the Mafia do not know who you saved. You can save yourself once.

Detective (Citizen team):
At each night, you can point to a player you think is in the Mafia and the narrator will show thumbs up if they are in the Mafia team. You can not detect the Godfather.

Sniper/Professional (Citizen team):
Each night, you could either choose to kill someone you think is in the Mafia, or not shoot. You have only two bullets. If you select a citizen to shoot, you go out of the game yourself, but that citizen is still in the game.

Constantine (Citizen team):
During the night, you can bring back one dead person to life. This can be used only once per game.

Matador (Mafia team):
Each night, you can diffuse someone's special ability. You can not diffuse the same person two nights in a row.

Godfather (Mafia team):
You're the head of the Mafia. The detective can not detect you.

Terrorist (Mafia team):
During the day, you can reveal your character, and choose to kill yourself and another player. The latest time you can do this is during when someone (e.g. you) are presenting their defense. The person you kill with yourself cannot be resurrected by Constantine
