OT: SPF Mafia Game
In the peaceful Sicilian village of Salem, a dark presence is about to make itself known. For years, the family based crime organization known as the Mafia has been establishing itself in the foundation of the community. Until now, the naive citizens have been unaware of the evil among them. Tonight, however, the Mafia makes its move. Tonight, someone will die, and until the Mafia has eliminated all opposition, the innocent will continue to die. Unless, of course, the Mafia is destroyed first...
I'm sure some of you have heard of the game called 'Mafia' and some of you have played it before (either in real life or online). Mafia is a very simple and fun game full of backstabbing and betrayal. The objective of the game is simple: if you're a member of the mafia, get all of the townies killed, if you're a townie, get all of the mafia killed.
Requirements-
I put this first, because I feel it is imperative for the game to function and therefore allow everyone to have the most fun possible. There are a limited number of slots available. If you have the time to play, simply post here saying you want to play, the first 12 people to sign up, get to play. The time commitment: you WILL have to be active in this thread and you WILL have to be able post at least once every 24 hours. If you cannot meet this requirement for whatever reason, I ask that you do not sign up (as you will be taking the space of someone who could put the appropriate amount of time into this). This game should not take more than ~5 minutes of your time each day (much less than we spend on d2 anyway). You must have space in your PM box, to begin with you'll just need ~2. You must be able to lose graciously, this game is not fair and if you're a sore loser, I ask you do not sign up. Don't get me confused, it might not be fair, but it is fun.
Gameplay-
Once we have 12 participants, I will randomly assign everyone a role and PM each of you you're roll in the game. DO NOT tell anybody (your wife, Hrus, your dog, anyone) your roll, ever, even after you're dead. You will either be in the mafia, or a townsfolk. The game has two phases, day and night. During the night, the mafia will pick one person to murder. They will pm the person to the moderator, me, I'll post it in the thread and the day phase will begin. During the day phase, everyone votes for one person to be lynched. If you're a townsfolk, you're trying to get the mafia lynched, if you're the mafia, you don't want to be lynched. Once someone recieves a majority of votes, they will be lynched by the town and are dead. I'll then reveal whether they were a mafia member or not. This ends the current day, and begins another night phase.
Roles-
Townsfolk- Have no special abilities, your job is to vote during the day for someone to be lynched. There will be seven townies.
Doctor- A townsfolk with a special ability. Once during every night, pm me the name of someone alive. If the mafia planned on murdering the person you pm me, then you can keep them alive. You cannot name yourself, nor save anyone from being lynched. There will only be one doctor.
Cop- A townsfolk with a special ability. Once during every night, pm me the name of someone alive. I will pm you and reveal that persons role. During the day, you may wish to reveal you are the cop in order to persuade others to lynch a mafia member, though this will certainly make you the next target of the mafia. There will only be one cop.
Mafia- During each night, they conspire to murder one person. During the day, they vote and act normal so as not to arose suspicion. There will be three mafia members.
Timeline-
Once we have 12 people signed up, I'll go ahead and announce when the first night will be, most likely within a day or two. The game will start with a night, and a murder by the mafia. Yes this means someone will die before they even get a chance to play, I'm sorry. Once I get the mafia's decision and a pm from the doctor and cop, I'll post who's dead and signal the beginning of the next day. The day will last for 48 hours after I post. This gives everyone in different timezones ample time for discussion and to cast their vote. During the day, do not pm anyone, unless it is to me. All conversation during the day must be public and posted in the thread. Once the day is up, I'll post, and the mafia will go to work. Night will last until the doctor, cop, and mafia pm me (if someone doesn't within 48 hours, then they lose their ability and it will be daytime regardless).
Rules-
1. Do not post anything at night! Doesn't matter who you are, if you have to do business during night, use pm's. If you have a question about the rules, pm me. Townsfolk are NOT to communicate between themselves during the night.
2. Do not post anything game related once you are dead, even "I think it was so and so" you're dead, deal with it.
3. Votes and unvotes for the lynching need to be in bold, ex. vote: skoolbus or unvote, vote: Baal. Use an unvote to change who you vote to be lynched and switch to someone else.
4. Read this thread, post questions now, not after the game starts. In your signup post, include the word 'happy' somewhere so I know you actually read this.
5. Never post anything in the thread that shouldn't be known to the town. Do not start flame wars in the thread. If you have a problem with someone or something, pm me. If you have a problem with a decision I make, pm me.
6. 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.
7. Read the rules once more. Have Fun!!
