|-
| style="color:#000;" | <div id="mp-tfa" style="padding:2px 5px">{{MP-Image}}<blockquote>"''In the peaceful Sicilian village of Salem, a dark presence is about to make itself known. For years, the family based crime organization known as the Mafia has been establishing itself in the foundation of the community. Until now, the naive citizens have been unaware of the evil among them. Tonight, however, the Mafia makes its move. Tonight, someone will die, and until the Mafia has eliminated all opposition, the innocent will continue to die. Unless, of course, the Mafia is destroyed first...''"</blockquote>
 
The above is a typical opening for the game called ''[[Game of Mafia|Mafia]]'' (Also known as "Werewolves of Miller's Hollow" or "Town of Salem"). The game can be played by an indeterminate group of people, each playing the role of either a murdering [[Mafia]] member or an innocent [[townie|townsperson]], along with a [[game moderator]]. At the beginning of the game, [[Night]] falls, and the Mafia family members become aware of each other (by communication from the moderator). They then choose a victim, and the moderator announces the [[death scene]]. When [[Day]] breaks, the town must try to weed out the evil by [[lynch]]ing someone they suspect to be mafia.
 
The game of Mafia (in [[Meat World]]) is usually run with playing cards representing the possible [[roles]] in the game. The moderator secretly distributes the cards to the players, then has everyone put their head down/close their eyes. During the Night, the moderator "wakes up" the mafia, and they silently choose a victim. During the Day, everyone discusses, argues, swears, and eventually [[vote]]s for someone to lynch. The cycle repeats until the [[endgame]].
 
'''MafiaScum''', however, is devoted to the online version of the game. As far as anyone knows, this version was first attempted in August 2000 on the [[Grey Labyrinth]] website.  It was so successful that [[mith]] (a regular GL-er) felt it warranted its own site. [[Online Mafia]] has the potential for more strategy and subtlety because it removes most of the possibility for cheating and provides players with a chance to form suspicion based on logic and [[voting patterns]] instead of facial expression. It also has the potential for just as many (if not more) laughs, because the players can act however they like, no matter how shy they might be in real life.

You need to register an account with us in order to do almost anything, the link to register is in the top right corner of the index-page. Please be aware that to register an account you will need a valid e-mail address, as it is required to try and filter out a few of those darn Chinese bots. <br/>All of our sign-up threads for games are found in the Queue subforum. To join a game, post something along the lines of "/in" in its signup thread. You will be assigned to a player list, and when the list is full, you will be instructed further on where to go and what to do. If you're new to the site, we don't recommend joining a lot of games at once in case you lose interest and flake out of all of them later on. If you decide that you want to abandon a sign-up list before you are assigned to a game, post "/out".

| style="color:#000; padding:2px 5px;" | <div id="mp-itn">{{MP-Image3}}This month's featured role is the [[Ninja]]!<br/>
Ninja is a [[Role modifier|Role-Modifier]] that can work as a standalone role that prevents roles such as [[Tracker|Trackers]] or [[Watcher|Watchers]] from seeing who they targeted during a [[Night]]. Most commonly seen as a standalone role used by the [[Mafia]], as it allows them to kill people without fearing getting caught by said [[:Category:Investigative Roles|Investigative Roles]]. Technically it can also be used as a modifier for either alignment to hide important an [[Power Role]] from their opposing faction, this isn't commonly found in games however.

This unique setup by [[BBmolla]] is a [[Multiball]] based off the idea of an increasing amount of lynches each [[Day]] dependant off the amount of [[Town]] aligned players that die. It is a 15-Player [[:Category:Large Setups|Large]] Open game that is eligble to be run in the [[Open Queue]] by more experienced mods as well as being the winner of the [[:Category:Design Contest Winning Setups|2015 Setup Design Contest]]. Filled to the brim with various power roles and the inclusion of an uncommon mechanic make this a setup worth playing if you feel like something fresh.
