So... Is anyone still interested in this game? I would've posted in the revival thread but there hasn't been a new post for six months.
Anyway... Here are the rules. I didn't quote the notes and roles because the post in the other thread is quite lengthy.
I'd be willing to host but again, I dunno if anyone even wants to play this.
End of this message.

When your not confused by all the different roles, the actual gameplay of Mafia is simple enough.
The game is composed of two main teams: The Town and The Mafia. The town's goal is to remove all the Mafia players from the game, while the Mafia must outnumber the town players to "take over" and win the game.
Each game is composed of "Days" split into two parts called "rounds".
During the Night Round, certain roles PM the host with an action. The most important part of this round though, is that the Mafia secretly make their kill during the round, killing another citizen.
During the Day Round, every player has the option to vote for a player to kill. The town's goal is to vote out every Mafia member out during this round.
Asides from the core gameplay, a lot of toggleable rules exist. When the game starts, the Host will tell you which rules are on or off.
No-Kill: This rule should almost always be on, and gives players the option to vote to kill nobody. If more No-Kills exist than any other vote, nobody will be Lynched. Keep in mind this is different from simply not voting, as you are voting for nobody to be killed.
Night-Talk: The ability to post in the thread during the night. If it's on, you can talk. If it's off, discussing things at night will earn you a penalty. However, game questions are still allowed. This is usually off.
Dead-Talk: The ability to talk after death as a ghost. This should almost always be off, as dead players can reveal information. Keep in mind revealing information after death will result in a penalty or ban. However, most hosts should allow a "closing statement", as long as it doesn't reveal information.
Hammer Votes: An optional rule where if the majority of players vote for someone, the voted player is "locked in" to death. The usual method is just to count up the votes when the round time is up.
Blind Games: Blind games come in three flavours. Half blind, Blind and Double blind.
A half blind game contains a list of roles, but no details on how they work.
A blind game uses random or new roles, with no list.
A Double blind game is the same as a blind game, but no group ratio is shown and the town is completely in the dark.
Role PM Quoting:
Despite being something of little consequence some people freak the fuck out when you quote your role PM. That includes screenshots. If they do (why? they're easily faked), they should say that role PM quoting is off.
Everything following here is not core gameplay, just notes and reference for players on optional roles and gameplay elements.
