How to Play Mafia

Most of you probably already know how to play this game, but if you don't or if you need a refresher, there are a lot of helpful guides out there. Time and time again, the first thing I always find myself pointing new players to is this old-as-fuck flash that outlines the very basics of the game. Beyond that, you may wish to check out the Mafia Wiki, as it contains many articles of advice and lists of roles.

And of course, if you have questions about how the game works, you can ask any of the rest of us. In fact, I'm leaving this thread unlocked specifically so it can be a place for any such questions.
