Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

There have been rumors of a secretive group of people that are trying to take over the town. The town has to do everything it can to seek out these people and kill them, or else the town will be taken over by scum.


Here are the RULES you must abide by.
1) You do not talk about your role outside this thread.

2) You do not talk about your role outside this thread.

3) If you post at night I will modkill you. (And you guys thought aman was bad)

4) If you edit your post I will modkill you (This includes editing for spelling mistakes)

5) If your role allows you to communicate with others during the night, feel free to do so via PM, instant messaging or any other form you choose. Only those roles expressly allowed to communicate privately with each other at night are allowed to. If you have any questions, contact me privately.

6) Once you're dead, stay that way. Dead people tell no tales, or in this case, dead people make no posts. Suck up your death and keep watching and rooting for your team. There's always next round.

7) Votes and unvotes need to be bolded . If your unvote isn't bold, it doesn't count. Put votes on its own separate line, just for ease of seeing the vote.

8) The required number of votes to seal a lynch for the day is equal to one half the remaining number of people alive (rounded up) plus 1. Once someone reaches this number of votes, they will be lynched no matter what; however, the day will still continue to its scheduled conclusion.

9) Never post anything in the thread that shouldn't be known to the town. Don't flame in the thread. If you have a problem with anything in the thread, please PM me and I'll do my best to handle it.

10) Any player may claim any role.

11) Do not post any information sent to you in a pm. If you're a townsfolk, the only person you should be pm'ing (no private aim or msn conversations between each other) is me. Mafia can pm between themselves (or talk on msn or aim) only during the night.

12) I won't be telling you the starting roles, upon lynch that persons role will be revealed, people that get nk'd their roles will only be known to the mafia

13) Read the rules once more. Have Fun!

14) Day lasts 48 hours and night lasts 24 hours.

15) If you have a night ability, it is your responsibility to get ahold of me. If my PM box is full, you can email me at mbird8518 (at) yahoo (dot) com.

I have included some new roles that haven't been used here before, so this should allow for some good role claims.

All the PMs have been sent out. If you are on the list and did not receive one, let me know ASAP.


It is now Night 1. Anyone with a night ability should be using them now. Night will last around 23 hours tonight, and Day 1 will begin at 12:00 EST (GMT -5).
 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

From now on, anything I write in italics is just for fun. It is just story as I write it.

As the day broke, the people of Gangland peacefully awoke. As they congregated in the middle of the town, it soon became apparent that someone was missing. Governor Ray ran to the missing person's house. As he opened the door, it became evident that evil has indeed entered the town.

The body was found with a keyboard brutally lodged in its abdomen, blood still trickling out of the wound. The word "BANNED" was carved into the body's forehead.

Thyiad has been killed

As the town members slowly returned to their houses, a new face approached Governor Ray. He introduced himself as an FBI Agent, investigating Thy's murder. The agent requested that a member of the town be brought in for questioning.

Aman is imprisoned. He cannot interact with the game whatsoever until the start of the next day.

With 16 people voting, it takes 9 to lynch and 10 to lock the person for lynching.

Good luck. Day will last for 48 hours.
 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

Am I first to post?
Glad to be alive on this fine day. Quick prayer for Thyiad's immortal soul.
Interesting that Aman is being held for questioning. I would think that means we can't lynch him either unless we storm FBI headquarters.
 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

I want to clarify the vote procedure. In the rules, it says:
The Rules said:
The required number of votes to seal a lynch for the day is equal to one half the remaining number of people alive (rounded up) plus 1. Once someone reaches this number of votes, they will be lynched no matter what; however, the day will still continue to its scheduled conclusion.

This has been changed. Votes from half the remaining players (rounded up) + 1 is what is needed for a lynch. Half (rounded up) + 2 locks the lynch in.
 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

Would be cool to get some kind of clarification whether Aman is votable or not. However, since we do not know who he is really being held by, it's really questionable whether he should be voted for or or not...

Ray said that everything in italic is just for fun, and the FBI bit was in italics. *ponder*

No italics on this part, my interpretation is that till next day he can't be lynched, nk by mafia or use any abilities (if he has them)...notice that it's 16 people voting with Aman subtracted, do you think he's still up for lynching while unable to vote?


 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

Govenor Ray? Didin't you get impeached from the fiasco you pulled last game? I hope you don't screw us again and prematurely stop the lynch of a mafia member. :tongue:

I'm going to assume that the FBI agent is synonymous with the traditional Crooked Detective (pro-mafia). Aman will be imprisoned on both Day 1 and Night 2. He won’t be able to post or vote or be voted on for Day 1 and he cannot be night killed on Night 1. In past games the Crooked Detective could not detain himself, so Aman is not the FBI agent.

We probably have 1 mafia faction since there was only 1 night kill.

So Dashy, I was out drinking yesterday and I saw you wonder around at night? What were you doing?
 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

Anyone who is imprisoned cannot post, vote, use abilities, be nightkilled or be voted against until they are released from prison the following morning.

This is very interesting, and it can be very helpful to at least know one of the roles being played. Could you point me to an example of that role being played in a previous game? And of course, is there a counterrole for that, one that is aligned with us? An honest detective? I couldn't find this role in the mafiawiki you see.


 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

:shocked: I guess Thyiad couldn't get her will through with the game rules.

I guess the "FBI agent" is the crooked detective, a pro-mafia role, as it has been in the SPF games. Although, it could be a pro-town role, too. (I'm just not seeing it being pro-town, though, since the role-block feature helps mafia more)

It's weird that it's not there, I guess it was an invention of Skoolbus in the first SPF Mafia game. I'm not sure, but I think the Crooked Detective role has been used in the first 4 or 5 Mafia games hosted in the Single Player Forum. After that it was dropped for more unorthodox roles.



 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

Soylentred was #2 to post last time I believe, #1 this time. Clearly watches the thread like a hawk. :grin:

Ray seems to be out-posting everyone at the moment. I don't think a mafia would have started this so early so I'm not getting an anti-town vibe off him at this time.

Unsure if Ankeli knew the answer to that question or not. It could be a ruse by him to look curious about how the role operated to try and give off a naive townie impression. Interesting.

Zhao starts off by poking fun at a role previously pro-town, which is an odd tactic. Seems to have drawn similar conclusions to myself however about the FBI agent and number of mafia groups, so hasn't alarmed me yet.

Erwwd seems to have taken the initiative to do some researching on the mafia wiki. Good sign. But not if I have a look later and see a crooked detective role on there.

Jaago brings some good discussion of role-blocking and FBI to the table.

I seem to have missed a poster. Ogogo on ice. Here's looking at you, kid:

I don't like random voting, even on day 1. I don't like it at all. It's too easy for a mafia to roll the dice until they hit a player who isn't on their team then hide behind the randomness of the vote to save them. Why not just skip the rolling altogether and just vote for a townie citing randomness? Perhaps Fred Astaire said it best. "Chance is the fool's name for fate".

Ogogo on ice, you just earned yourself a Mafia Point (TM):

Code: 
+------------+-------------+
|Player      | Mafia Points|
+------------+-------------+
|ogogo on ice|      1      |
+------------+-------------+

This is my new fangled points system to help myself and others keep track in this round.

As to Aman's imprisonment, I'm not sure. I was detained myself on the first day by the Crooked Detective in one of the SPF games, so I know what it's like. But it could be that Aman is mafia and is hoping we lynch Zhao today so that he can live longer than Zhao?



 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

Hmmm
I am so in favour of lynch early lynch often. We go nowhere if we can't get together and lynch someone every single day.

I may be misunderstanding you, but I'm pretty sure that Ray's leading the game, so I'm not sure how he could be mafia.

I've never played before, so I'm just going on what I read from last game, but the general consensus there seemed to be "Well, killing a townie early sucks, but if we don't vote at all, we don't have a chance to hit a mafia at all." Though my origional post was made in partial jest, unfortunately unless someone slips up majorly, we won't really have much to go on besides dumb luck. Though this being my first time playing, I may just be the fool who doesn't see fate in the actions of the game. Though I'd be very sad if everyone bandwagoned and decided I'd be a good person to lynch, at least I'd know that we didn't accidentally kill a power role. Plain old townie here everyone, and boy this post ran on for a lot longer then I origionally meant. Oh well. Not going to cast a vote yet though, going to see how things continue.

Not necessarily. Zhao is claiming to have been out drinking last night and says that he saw Serdash out during the night. The drinking power of townies has helped in the latest SPF game, so it may help us here.

I am going to assume that 'no-lynches' will be a part of this game, meaning if noone receives the required number of votes, no day kill.

With this understanding of the rules I will start,

Vote: Serdash

Unless of course, Dash has a good reason for being out, or if someone else has a better idea.


As for the one NK last night; let's stay cautious to the possibility of 2 anti-town factions.

LOL OMG TEH MOD IZ TEH MAFF!!!!! Yeah. Seriou, slythat part of the post was me being somewhat light-hearted, slash a slight reference to the current SPF game. See one of Zhao's posts for further examples.

The town needs to lynch someone at every chance it gets.
That doesn't mean random choice is a good thing.
It's harder to establish good candidates for lynching at this point in the game - due to lack of information.
However I'd advocate analysing what posts are made in greater detail, rather than abandoning any attempt and throwing the decision to the feet of Lady Luck.
You dig?

A lot of time taken here on essentially saying "I'm a townie".

Good point. From what I've seen, when a serial killer is included in a game, it's typically restricted so that it can't kill on the first night. That could also explain a single kill. There's also the option of there being a cult in the town, or roles involving who the town lynches to bear in mind.

Also... He posts, he votes!!! :tongue:



 
Re: Mafia: The Gangland Massacre

It interests me as to why it was said by Zhao that he saw Serdash out after dark while drinking. I also find it interesting Nolecub was quick to vote for Serdash, with no proof but Zhao posting that he saw him out. Right now, we don't know anything about roles, except for the possible Crooked Fbi Agent.

On another note, I would like to take a look over this MafiaWiki, anyone point me in the right direction?
