    Could someone outline the uses and restrictions of the various forms of communication I've seen mentioned (main thread, IM, PMs between players, quicktopics, etc.)?
    You may post in the main thread but may not post screenshots which prove anything; no screenshots at all, in fact.

    You may not discuss aspects of your role which the game host specifically bars you from discussing.

    You may instant message people, same restrictions as above.

    You may private message people, same restrictions as above.

    When you're dead, you CANNOT reveal what you've been doing; there's some specifics involved here, read the main rules for the exact details.

    Quicktopics, same restrictions.

    All forms of communication are otherwise legal. No loopholes, please.

    Secondly, does each Townie have a single Night action? Is it possible to join multiple groups of 5+ Townies and submit a Night action for each group and join groups of 3+ and submit protection targets? Or are we limited to one group and therefore one action?
    One group, normally one action. I do see some roles can perform a passive and an active action, not everyone can.

    It's role-specific.

    Thirdly, how does a mafia family recruit? The Made can determine who may be recruited but then what?
    This is a good question as I was not mafia in Capo III so I don't know the exact mechanics; I can't find them in the rules but I may be missing it.

    I'll refer your Q to Seamus himself.

    Finally, for now, do Townies know whether they are corruptible or not?
    I believe so, but Seamus should clarify.

    My recollection from Capo II is that mafia families have to recruit simply by feeling out prospective candidates and smooth talking them. It is all done through conversation, there isn't any actual ability that simply converts a wiseguy to a mafioso. To become fully part of the family, I think both the Don and the wiseguy have to confirm with Seamus that the wiseguy is joining. The wiseguy can, of course, claim to be joining but instead lie about it and tell Seamus he is not joining. Wiseguys can do this to infiltrate a mafia family to aid the town or another mafia family, so the entire recruitment process is difficult and risky, though rewarding if successful.

    Could mafia member investigate members of their own family as a counter for infiltration? Or, maybe, investigating is reserved for townies?

    This is the perfect thread for me! I've only ever played one other mafia game here before signing up for Capo!
