Welcome to your new home for the next O(5) days. However much adventure you decide to have gathering clues for your favorite murder mysteries (or perhaps reenacting them), you’ll have to get tired and come here to check on your friends at some point. Here is where you’ll discuss whatever you want to discuss to your heart’s content, as long as you’re alive. Just make sure not to say things that can get you in trouble with the masses...
Go ahead and say hello to your fellow townspeople. We heard they got some neat new toys too, but you can find out about those on the webapp (in the Game Log).

http://mafia-app.mit.eduThe biggest change in this iteration of Live-action mafia is the shiny new webapp. What you previously had to do by contacting the moderators, you can now do online instantaneously. Here is where you vote, report kills, report item usage/transfer, ask for investigation results, and so forth. Here is also where most announcements will be. When logged in, all pertinent information will be either in the “actions” drop-down in the top bar, or in the “you are logged in as” dropdown in the top bar. Your role information will be on the “your role” page. If you have any trouble with this at any point or suspect you have found a bug, let us know. We will be happy to do any moderator action the web app does not currently implement.
There are at most 2 mafia among you, and the other roles are selected approximately evenly from those described in the docs. There are no more than 3 of any given role. If there is only one mafia, they will be allowed one conscription.
All game actions you know about (your kills, investigations, changes to your lists, initial item distribution, lynches, etc.) can be found in the “Game Log” tab at the top of the webapp.
We expect you’ll want to post kills and talk about them in the forum, but we’ll only be announcing them via webapp.
Click on the “rules” button at the top of the webapp to see the rules. You can look at the git history of the rules document (see the link at the bottom) to see the new changes.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM our joint forum account (jammy) or email us at
