The Underground aims to be as accessible to newcomers as possible without diluting the mafia experience for our more experienced players. With this in mind, we will be regularly hosting stripped-down games that use fairly common roles/night actions and no alternative mechanics called "basic" or "vanilla" games. These games will be run as constantly as possible with a new game starting not long after one finishes.
For the GMs, these games do NOT count towards the one-at-a-time and cooldown rules.
Basic Game Guidelines:
A basic game must adhere to the following:

For the GMs, these games do NOT count towards the one-at-a-time and cooldown rules.
Basic Game Guidelines:
A basic game must adhere to the following:
- The game thread must contain a short explanation of how mafia works, a clear and concise rules section and a link to the detailed guide.
- The game must adhere to the standard 48 hour day/24 hour night phase cycle.
- The game should have no more than three factions (a maximum of one innocents faction, one mafia and one cult). There should also be no more than two third party/survivor roles (ie. the fool).
- These games can be themed but this is not a requirement. Any theme should play no role in the game itself. Similarly any narrative in phase posts should be extremely limited.
- No alternative mechanics or heavily customized roles may be used.
- The game should be easily identifiable by having the words "basic", "vanilla" or "beginners" in the title.
