Welcome to FM1 - a new beginning for CDFM.
For our first game of our first season, we have decided to soft-reboot our community. Therefore, we are happy to introduce Chief Delphi Forum Mafia, or CDFM for short. All games will follow a new naming convention from this point forward - please look forward to more information on that front soon! However, that does mean that we will be retiring the “FRC Mafia” moniker, and so this game will be known as FM1.
Rules
1: Follow the Chief Delphi forum rules.
2: Be respectful to the hosts and your fellow players. Attacking other players in a personal manner is strictly forbidden.
3: Don’t throw the game. Always play with the intent of helping your faction win.
4: Don’t be inactive. If you do not post meaningfully within 24 hours or at least five times in any given phase, you will be prodded. Receiving two prods or failing to respond to a prod within 12 hours will result in your removal from the game. Attempts to “prod dodge” by barely meeting this limit are discouraged.
5: Do not discuss the game outside of the game. Anywhere. It’s not worth it.
6: No editing or deleting posts for any reason without express moderator permission.
7: No posting after the majority is reached or at night. I can’t lock the thread, so I’m relying on you all to just follow this rule and not post. Repeated or egregious failure to comply will result in your removal from the game.
8: Do not quote/screenshot private host messages. They’re private for a reason.
9: Angleshooting is strictly prohibited. This involves any and all methods outside of the game thread that may help determine a player’s alignment, including your own. If this occurs accidentally, PM the hosts. If this occurs intentionally, it may be considered cheating.
10: Keep the thread clean of outside influence. Dead players cannot interact with those alive in any way, including liking posts in the game thread. Living players, likewise, should direct all questions to the hosts through PMs, rather than just pinging them in the thread.
11: Do not edit the OP for any reason without host permission. If you believe you can make a positive contribution, PM the hosts first.
12: It’s a game - have fun!

F.A.Q.
What is Forum Mafia?
Here is a short guide from Mafia Universe describing the basics of Forum Mafia. In short, it is a variation of the party game Mafia (also known as Werewolf) that has been adapted to be played on internet forums.
How do I join?
You can reply to this post with “## /join”, or simply express an interest to play, until the game fills.
What does _______ mean?
There is a great glossary of various Mafia terms that may be used on the Mafia Universe Wiki.
I’m still confused.
Feel free to ask me any and all questions you may have via PM.
I see the game is full, can I still play somehow?
I’d love to have some backups in case anybody drops out or is inactive. Backup players might be called upon at any time to fill the shoes of a player that needs to be replaced. You may join as a backup at any time by saying “## /backup” in this thread.
