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.

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 is a very cool modifier which can be used in many varieties of ways. It could be as simple as revealing a role that exists, or doesn't, within a closed setup and can go as far as you like! If you followed [[Team Mafia]] this year, you may have noticed the game by [[Isis]] in which a scum role was informed of the entire setup!
 
When you include this, make sure to consider how it will effect the game and balance around it!

This [[Micro Setup]] by [[Guardian]] is for 6 players. It is a simple setup, containing 4 [[Vanilla Townies]] and 2 Mafia-aligned players. What makes it unique is that the two mafia are [[Lover|Lovers]], meaning that if one of the two die the other goes with him. You would think that a setup such as this would be town-sided, and the predicted 60% town win-probability seems to support this claim. Yet in reality, it is not so easy to win this setup as town. Due to the fact there are 6 players, all 4 of the town have to be on a [[Wagon]] to lynch the mafia. This requires a lot of coordination, which can easily be disturbed through the mafia's plots and manipulation. As such, the setup currently has a 70% mafia win-rate as off now. This leads many to believe that the setup may actually be tipped in the mafia's favour, despite the predicted numbers. This setup usualy lasts a single day, so if you are looking for a shorter setup to run this may be an option to consider if you seek something simple.

Either they can win by achieving [[parity]], as in a normal game, or they can win by guessing the colours of each Merlin properly. The catch is that only [[alignment]], not [[role]], are revealed at flip!
 
To make things a little more interesting, the Merlins know the identities of both the other Merlins and the Mafia player who shares their colour. Of course, revealing any of this gives that secondary scum [[wincon]] a greater chance of being achieved.
