Hooahguy is new, so he told me, so anyone who would like to get him acclimated to mafia games, please do so. If not, I'll point him in the direction of some basic info:

In the original poster's first post, (otherwise known as the original post ) it will describe the particulars of this specific game, which has a story and a plot but a basic structure (apparently) of mafia and townies, maybe a detective but honestly, probably not.
