It's a hidden-identity social-deduction party game, such as Werewolf, Resistance and Avalon.

This should provide some extra info:

sounds good but how do you play it in diplomacy?

or is it another website
A_Tin_Can (2234 D)

It's played via a forum thread.
Claesar (4660 D)
24 Dec 15 UTC
It will be in a forum topic just like this one. The other aspects are managed by a non-playing GM. They give out all the info and roles.
Then we discuss and debate.

@TrPrado, and what does Full Press and Public Press mean exactly ? sorry, new here
Claesar (4660 D)
24 Dec 15 UTC
That's unrelated to Mafia; they're looking to organise a game of Diplomacy on the side.
Full press: You can send private messages to every other player.
Public Press: You can only send Global messages that everyone can read.
No press: You can't.

Some terms new players may get confused by that appear in posts for Mafia.

Tunnel: picking a player for arbitrary reasons and pushing them for a continued duration in game. This could be without much evidenciary support and is a tactic used to look consistent.

WIFOM: Mafia acting too scummy and defeated to be actual Mafia. typically thrown around by many as a way to drive home a case on someone.

OMGUS: making someone who reads you as mafia into your top target often reactionary. Not always scummy but can have consequences.

FOS: your top reads as Mafia. typically any player will have at least 1 top scumread.

Bussing: two mafia throwing suspicion on each other in hopes that if one is lynched the other appears townclear. (very common)

Hedge: when someone attempts to justify their vote by sowing seeds of doubt into their own judgement.

PR: town roles with abilities. The clearest of the clear.

Sheeping: befriending the logic of another player blindly without any thoughts of your own.

Buddying: picking someone for reasons unique to you in game and agreeing with them. statements like "I agree", "I trust you", "I believe you" are all forms of buddying.

Keep in mind undoubtedly someone will say this to you at some point. Or one of those will be thrown at you. Its important to defend yourself but many times scum will use these terms to paint you as the villian.

@brainbomb - You keep using those words, I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

Tunnel: Focusing on a single player to the point where they are the focus of your attention more-so than looking at others and gauging them. A tunneler wants primarily to get some very well-defined and elaborated person lynched, and will stop at nothing to do it. From the phrase "tunnel vision."

WIFOM: Wine in Front of Me. A form of speculation, where a person tries to find the motive of the Mafia in minor/irrelevant details. From the scene in Princess Bride where Vizzini is trying to figure out which wine is poisoned "Therefore, I clearly cannot trust the wine in front of me."

OMGUS: Oh My God U Suck. Accusing someone for accusing you. Being under the assumption that only scum would accuse you of being scum, so the person accusing you HAS to be scum.

FOS: Finger of Suspicion. Accusatory focus either of a player or group of players on someone. We don't use it very often on this site.

Bussing: Mafia helping (or at least trying to) lynch another member of the Mafia so that the prior appears to be more a member of the town.

Hedge: Appearing not entirely sure. Usually appears when people post their reads lists and put "slight town" or "slight scum."

PR: Power Role. Anyone that isn't VT (vanilla town) or Mafioso (member of Mafia who only has a say in who gets NK'd (night-killed)). Everything from cop to roleblocker count as PR's.

Sheeping: Doing whatever a town-cleared player wants to do. Following them because they are town, and they are one of very few (if not the only) people other than yourself that you are 100% certain is town.

Buddying: Brown-nosing, sucking up, trying to stick to another player.

NMR when there are no retreats
In my second game on this site, I was dislodged and had no place to retreat to. The ordering mechanism did not allow me to save or something similar, it did also not allow me to disband. I did get a NMR on this for my reliability, but there was nothing I could do to save the order. Is there a solution for this?
