What is this?
Drawfia is a variant on the local forums' version of the game Mafia, known as Phalla.

Tell me about Phalla!
Phalla is pretty cool. Go look at this stuff if you're new to this. It's a guide to the usual game expectations and roles you'll encounter.
Tell me about this Phalla!
In this Phalla, unlike nearly all of them, the only text you are allowed to post once we commence is your vote(s) for each night's kill, which should be someone's name in Bold Red. All other communication that is not exclusively between you and me, the host, must be handled by means of drawings, preferably crude and difficult to figure out the meaning of. Yes, that means PMs and proboards, which latter I suspect people will not be starting. Yes, that includes the mafia when not submitting whatever orders they'll need to. Pop open the spoiler below for some more things you should know about communications, in the order they occur to me:
This phalla will not include novel untested mechanics or unusual roles, and the roles and distribution of them (though not to whom they were distributed) will be presented to everyone in the initial narration in picture format. You'll probably figure that one out pretty quick. Because drawing and interpreting is honestly pretty hard, I recommend you pass on this one if you're short on time over the next week-ish. We're shooting for about 20 players.
Included for completeness' sake:
Sir Fabulous' Definition of "From Scratch":
Start with a blank medium.
If you are on an electronic device, you must be able to create the drawing without exiting the program.
If you are on physical paper, you must be able to create the drawing yourself.
References are allowed because they physically exist, and so you are able to see it without exiting the program.
Photoshopping is not because it is impossible for you to take a piece of another drawing without exiting the program.
Vote Close is 11 pm Eastern time.
Special thanks to Sir Fabulous, who is fabulous, for the idea and permission to run a new Drawfia game. His is here. Take a look!

Pop open the spoiler below for some more things you should know about communications, in the order they occur to me:
1) All drawings should be "from scratch," per Sir Fabulous' definition. No repeat drawings, no copy-pasted elements.
2) Drawings should not include alphabetical or numerical characters. Characters such as + and ! are permitted, because it proved really difficult to get through the last game without any.
3) Do not attempt to use said permitted characters to create substitution ciphers or other code languages. Don't do other things, communication-wise, that don't respect the spirit of the game. Devising clever pictogram codes once the game begins is encouraged, though.
4) Clarifications may be requested in text form prior to the start of the game, and during the game by replying to your role PM.
5) Drawings should not be assembled through Photoshop or other image-editing programs. They should, in fact, be drawings. You can use a mouse, a stylus, a pencil and paper you then scan or photograph, your wang drawing in the sand*... whatever could reasonably be considered a drawing is okay.
6) Do not use drawings to produce animated gifs.
7) Don't draw anything pornographic or otherwise blatantly NSFW. Therefore, if you do elect to draw in the sand with your wang, don't include it in the image.*
* Seriously, this is a joke. Don't draw with your wang for the purposes of this phalla.

I assume that's a question about pms? You guys are allowed to talk until Day 1 starts. :P
I should've said that in pm with the host, hey :S

If it's been a while since you've done that, it might bring you joy.

Yeah, this is my anti-drug re: Terraria.

Yes I think this is a good idea. If nothing else because of those who have any form of colour-blindness.

I assume there's a "not" missing there.
Honestly it's very simple to upload images. Assuming you have access to a computer (a reasonable assumption I would say), you can simply use MS Paint or any equivalent software, which almost every computer comes pre-loaded with (and is free even if it didn't) and upload the images to Imgur or any other free image hosting site.
