Okay, so I'm hereby starting the first game of Beginner Mafia. I've noticed a lot of newer players joining Mafia, not really knowing how to play and/or getting discouraged from playing against more experienced people. Those who don't know what Mafia is yet, check out the Original Game's sign-up thread where the rules are at, and you might want to check out the Beginner's Guide as well, though the point of this game is to help players learn so you don't necessarily need to (though the rules and guide will likely be referenced).
Basically how this game differs from the usual games of Mafia is while the beginners play I (being the game's mod), will continuously post advice in the thread here for the players. Additionally, I will occasionally PM the players and accept questions in PMs from them to give them private advice to help acquaint the players to the game.
I won't be the only person giving advice and mentoring in this way, but I haven't found all the "mentors" yet so when the game actually starts I will post the list of them. This whole setup is intended so that the players stop joining and them not having fun or getting discouraged. This way we can preserve the nature of the game while preventing frustrations and making the game more fun for all the players.
In the mean time, post "I'm in" if you want to play. But if you've played this game before enough times that you feel experienced, please wait for the next normal Mafia game, as this one is intended to teach the players the game. You can still join if you've played, though, just not if you're really familiar and experienced with the game.
