What is Mafia? Sometimes called Werewolf, it's a fun party game of accusations and conspiracy. If you haven't had the pleasure of playing this charmingly devious game at a convention or on another web forum, there's a fun Flash animation here to help you understand the rules.

I'll be moderating a Dr. Who-themed Mafia game here on the GeekDad Community. If you're interested in joining in, all you have to do is sign up below.

Some rules to read before you sign up:

  1. First and foremost: this is just a game. It can sometimes be a tense and dirty game, yes, but you should be doing it for fun.
  2. Each daytime phase will last 1 week maximum. The night phase will last 48 hours.
  3. If a player hasn't posted in 72 hours, I'll prod them publicly in the thread. If they don't respond to the prod within 24 hours, I'll look for an alternate. 5 prods and it's an automatic replacement.
  4. If you're going on vacation, just post it to the thread in bold, or PM me.
  5. If you have any other questions, please consult the MafiaScum Newbie Guide and FAQ. If those don't answer your question, feel free to message me.

I like the logic. Vote Russell as night begins

Vote Count 3.3:

Gene Davis: 1 / T Kelly
Russell Collins: 3 / Gene Davis, Bob Sandlan, Joe Earnest
Not Voting: 3 / Russell Collins, Chris Earnest, Daniel Donahoo


With 7 players, it takes 4 votes to convict. The deadline is Monday, June 18, at 11:59p MDT (GMT-6:00, approx. 3.75 hours)

I'm worried that as the hour grows late here on the east coast we may have some folks that have gone to bed and we may lose a shot at a lynch. I made clear from the beginning of day 3 that russell was a close 2nd to gene for me based on prior votes and posts so I

Unvote Gene

Vote Russell

Day 3 Final Vote Count:

Russell Collins: 4 / Gene Davis, Bob Sandlan, Joe Earnest, T Kelly
Not Voting: 3 / Russell Collins, Chris Earnest, Daniel Donahoo


With 7 players, it takes 4 votes to convict.

The Shadows of the Dalek

“Yes, I should have expected you would be here, Davros. Too bad for you your precious Daleks are not here to save you...Destroying you will be one of the greatest pleasures of my life.”

With a sense of deep satisfaction, River pressed the buttons on the control box. A swirl of light and color surrounded the shell of a man seated in the chair...and then disappeared.

“You fool. Did you honestly think you could harm me? I did a scan of everyone myself when you brought me here. You have no weapons that can penetrate my shield. Your primitive scanner failed to even detect the gun I gave to that brooding Silent, and your transporter is just as ineffective. I chose to remain here, just so I could watch you destroy yourselves. Thank you all for the entertainment. And now, if you will excuse me, I have an old enemy to kill.”

“You’re right, of course,” River said. “I have no weapons that are a match for the great and powerful Davros...well, except for maybe this.”

River reached into her bag and slowly withdrew a long metal cylinder. Smiling broadly, she aimed the device at The Doctor’s oldest enemy and flipped the switch.

“Have you lost all reason, human? You think to threaten me with a torch?!”

“Oh, no. I just think you make a wonderful shadow puppet. Actually, you make two wonderful shadow puppets.”

Davros looked over his shoulder and saw two distinct shadows creeping up the library wall.

“What have you done to me? I can’t see. Who turned out the lights?”

“What have you done to me? I can’t see. Who turned out the lights?”

“What have you done to me? I can’t see. Who turned out the lights?”


Day 3 has ended with Davros (Russell Collins) Anti-Town Godfather, removed from the library. Night has fallen once again in The Library. If you have a night ability, use it or lose it. Day 4 will begin Wednesday, June 20, 10:30p MDT (GMT-6:00), approx. 48 hours from now.

FYI I did vote Russell on Monday.  I keep showing up as a non vote.  I do not want people to think I did not vote.

Confirming that, yes, Chris did indeed vote for Russel first. I missed it on the post.

River sighed heavily. “And so, Mickey’s sacrifice was for naught. Whatever information Martha might have gleaned during the night has died with her.”

As for the other member of the group lost that evening, the pain and guilt was still too raw for her to talk about. River feared that no matter what the final result was here in the Library, her decision to bring her own mother here would haunt her for the rest of her days, which, given the current state of events, might be a pain she would not have to suffer long.


Night 3 has ended with Martha Jones (Bob Sandlan), Town-Aligned Investigator, ripped to pieces and Amy Pond (Chris Earnest), Town-Aligned Lover, vanished in the night. Day 4 has begun and will end Wednesday, June 27, 10:30p MDT (GMT-6:00). With 4 players remaining, it takes 2 votes to convict (no, this is not a typo).

Well...seems I need to find myself an ally now...silence works a treat for staying around in this game...the talkers all get it :)

So - T Kelly. What you thinking?

Ouch, that was one rough night after such a big win for us getting rid of Davros/Russell.  Things are definitely getting interesting.  

As for what I'm thinking now - we have to ask the obvious question - Daniel - why did you sit the Russell vote out?  

I know a lot of the role powers might be passive or might be taking place during night phases so we may not see them play out through our posts - but we are getting down to the wire here - so if anyone has any edge that might be able to swing things pro-Town, now might be a good time to whip it out 

OK so reading up quickly on Lovers, it seems that they are attached to another character so that if the one character goes, the other one does as well.  So I guess we can presume that because Bob's character died, Chris' did also, explaining the multiple deaths.  

With only two votes needed to lynch, a lynch could happen quickly.  But we must be more careful than ever.  Therefore I highly suggest we avoid any hasty decisions!  Let's analyze the facts and choose carefully.

Since Bob was an Investigator we can assume he knew some things even if he didn't let on too obviously.  So we should analyze his words closely.

Continuing on that thought, if we look at Bob's "gut", the one he was most unsure of that is still left is Daniel.

Also, Daniel, as T Kelly pointed out, you "hid" most of the last turn.

Anything you'd like to share with the rest of us?
