Zepher Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) The fledgeling sun rises on the infinite Mafialand plane. 23 figures stand in the middle of nowhere, waiting for their host. And suddenly, with a flash of light, he is there. "Hello," growls Zepher. "Oh, I get it, he's a werewolf!" shouts someone. "Now it won't be fun to tease him about it anymore!" shouts someone else. "Yeah, you suck!" shouts a third person. "Where the hell is the scenery?" cries person number four. "Think of the children!" screams person the fifth. "Shut your idiot mouths," says Zepher. "I need to say some exposition." "Okay," says person #3. "Why does person #3 get two lines?" asks person 6. "As you know, the scum have gotten tired of playing mafia after mafia. So, when a new host came here to harvest some roles for a new game, the scum killed him." "Booooooooo," hisses the town and the scum and the SK (the last two trying to cover their tracks). "We love Mafia!" "Don't we all. Here is the skull of your previous host." "Look at that evil smile, clearly he was a Mafia host. Because he was evil," jokes someone. "Down to his very bones!" says someone else. "Where'd all his skin go?" asks a concerned third person. Zepher licks his lips. "No matter." "Since you're all attuned to Mafia, I figured we'd catch the scum by playing Mafia." "That's a kind of lazy explanation." "Anyway, you all know the rules, but they're listed below. The pill cart will come around sooner or later. Have fun." "You never explained the lack of scenery!" someone points out. "I'll explain that later. Need to leave something for the interludes." "There will be interludes?" "Maybe." The Rules 1 Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Town or the Scum. To win the game, the Town must kill off all the Scum and the SK, while the Scum must outnumber the Town. Any Third-Party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined below. 2 Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. The player with the most lynches will be lynched. You may only unvote once a day. 3 A game day will last for about 72 hours. Whoever has the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. After the day has concluded, a night phase will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night phase. 4 The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. 5 You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game host. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage, as they are all exactly the same. 6 You may not quote PMs from or to other players. This will result in a 5-vote penalty the same day, and a 5-vote penalty the next. (What can I say, I liked this rule!) 7 Do not play the game outside the day-thread and PMs. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread; you must always play the role given to you. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. 8 If you are dead, your game is over. You may not comment on the game to any living or dead players in any form. You are considered dead once you are a) confirmed lynched by the host, or b) announced dead in the morning. This includes posting, private messaging, direct chat, email or any other form of online or offline communication. Any information you had becomes void and may not be passed on. The same applies for living players making contact with those who are no longer playing, no matter what the stated purpose. Both situations can appear to be an attempt to gain information or cause influence that would be unfair to the remaining living players. Whether you are still playing or have already died, if you are contacted inappropriately, please notify the host immediately. Violation of this rule will result in instant mod-kill and probably something worse after the game. 9 You may not edit your posts. Editing your post will result in a 2-vote penalty. This is your only warning. 10 You must post in every Day Thread. Failure to do so will result in a 10-vote penalty at the start of the next day. 11 These rules will change during the game as a game mechanic. Pay close attention. Any and all changes will be struck through, with the new rule in bold. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host using your role PM. All other forms of communications will be ignored. THE DESIGN 23 Players 16 Town - 6 Scum - 1 SK The Day 24 Hour Safe Period - 48 Hour Voting Period - 48 Hour Night Period (With a full exciting 24 hour period to submit night actions!) Some time before the 24 Hour Mark, the Pill Cart will be rolled out. The time will be randomized each day, to be fair to timezones. The time will be chosen by Random.org. The Pills will effect that night or the following day. The Pills "God Pill" (Effect the following day, will not be removed from play) - 2 Uppers (Night action may be used twice) - 2 Lifesavers (Will be safe from a kill that night) - 16 Placebos (No Effect) - 2 Downers (Night action may not be performed) -If a person holding a pill is lynched or killed, the pill is removed from play- The Night Actions Town and Scum have NEARLY IDENTICAL ROLES with only a few tweaks to change for their sides. JOAT Town: Investigator/Protector Scum: Framer (2 Shot)/Protector/Janitor (1 Shot) Role Cop Killer Blocker Inventor Can invent a net (blocker), shield (protector), magnifying glass (investigation), or pistol (kill action). Bulletproof. Inscrutable (all investigation attempts including role cop will come up as "unsuccessful"). The inventor may either gift his invention, or create a new one, he may not do both on the same night. Universal Back-Up -When a scum with an action dies, the scum team may choose to drop an action and retain the one they would have lost.- -The Pill Cart will come in the first 24 hours at different times each day, decided by Random.Org. You post IN THREAD which pill you will be taking that day. It is first come, first serve.- Serial Killer Bulletproof. Hard to Read (If an investigator investigates him, the result will be "unsuccessful", but a role cop will receive the result of "killer".). Killer Role PM's Town: Character - Town - Night Action(s) Scum: Character - Scum - Night Action(s) - List of Fellow Scum's Names SK: Character - SK - Night Actions Win Conditions Town: Kill the Scum + SK Scum: Outnumber the Town + SK SK: Two other players alive, with no other win conditions met. THE CAST (In the Order I thought them up) (Please remember, with the system being totally random, the characters have nothing to do with affiliation/NA) Zepher/The Host (Zepher) - Your lovely and hungry host. The Night Action Blacked-Out Dude (Bob) - A fiend in the evening. The Role Cop (KielDaMan) - Watches you while you don't sleep. The Godfather (Kadabra) - Doesn't he look like a pretty normal dude? Just wearing a track suit or something. Clearly not a mob boss. The Cult Leader (Rufus) - Rather mysterious. The Cultist (Fred Daniel Yam) - Rather less mysterious. The Serious Roleplayer (Tamamono) - By day he may be a construction worker, but in his heart, he's a pirate. The NPC (Esurient) - Not a player. Seriously, look, he's clearly not supposed to be voted for. Not a player. Maybe we should vote for him. The Doctor (Piratedave84) - Damn it, Jim, I'm not a Doctor! The Jester (CallMePie) - My role never serves any purpose! The Cop (def) - Doesn't mess around. The Goon (fhommess) - Grrrrr. The Male Lover (LegoDad) - Works at a Pizza Shop! Loves his wife. Might die without her. The Female Lover (Hinckley) - Works as a telemarketer. Loves her husband. Might die without him. The Vanilla Townie (Kristel) - His favorite flavor of ice cream is ironically chocolate. The Serial Killer (Walter Kovacs) - I'm murdering them all because they're different than me. The PGO (Purpearljellyblob) - Serving some time for accidentally shooting all of his neighbors. The Witch (Waterbrick Down) - Pretty sure that everyone else is also witches. The Usurper (TrumpetKing) - Only dresses like you because he admires you, not because he wants to be you! The Treestump (Adam) - Has very little to say. Don't stand too closely. He may explode. The Snake Charmer (Darth Potato) - Every town has a snake charmer. Didn't you know that? The Talking Animal (mostlytechnic) - A staple of every normal society. Range from camels to Fabuland critters to this thing. The Virgin (Clanure) - Don't f*ck with him. First Day Lynch (Jamesn) - I'm neW @round h3r3!!!!!!! i hope w3 @LL get along !!!!!!!

Win Conditions Town: Kill the Scum + SK Scum: Outnumber the Town + SK SK: Two other players alive, with no other win conditions met. Ummmm, Mr Werewolf? These win conditiony things don't match. Do we have to kill of the SK or not? Not that I care. I'm the Cult Leader.
Walter Kovacs Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 OK, kill all the scum. Got it. Wait, kill the scum and the Serial Killer. Got it. That Goonie guy hasn't got much to say, does he?
jimmynick Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I'm so happy to be hear guys, lets start finding scum!
Hinckley Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I thought there was going to be a "no dick" rule. I'm kind of happy to not see one since I like dick. My Male Lover, to continue our conversation from earlier, I painted this headset on my face so I won't need lasers. Why don't they call it a face set, I wonder.
Kristel Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Good morning! It's great to be ... Where exactly are we? Ah, who cares, as long as we get to kill some scum! I'll be near the icecream cart if anyone needs me.
Waterbrick Down Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Off we go. Pirate and me will be taking any and all volunteers who wish to undergo the floating test.
TrumpetKing Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Let's kill the scum! Especially the Godfather, he must die! Where is he? Didn't he say he was vanilla? Does that mean the Godfather isn't the one I supposedly have to find? So many questions, all over just one godfather.
LegoDad Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I thought there was going to be a "no dick" rule. I'm kind of happy to not see one since I like dick. My Male Lover, to continue our conversation from earlier, I painted this headset on my face so I won't need lasers. Why don't they call it a face set, I wonder. Oh, well if it's painted on, I can look past that(and have many times apparently). This seems like a weird place to try to find scum, a plain grey floor with a man-eating werewolf, but whatever it takes.
Waterbrick Down Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 This seems like a weird place to try to find scum, a plain grey floor with a man-eating werewolf, but whatever it takes. It's a good thing we women have nothing to worry about then.
LegoDad Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 It's a good thing we women have nothing to worry about then. Good point, I may have to hang close to my lover to keep me safe.
jimmynick Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Yay it started! Soooo who needs protection? I need protection, because I have all of the night actions.
CMP Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Yay it started! Soooo who needs protection? Not me! I embrace death with open arms!! ....As long as it's a lynch, anyway. Actually, yeah, I could use some protection.
Esurient Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Greetingz biologicalz beingz, I amz thez NPC andz I comez inz peace. I am from the DAMSMQ-IAANP69 system and I received a distress call from your planet so I am here to aid these biological beings to find scums. My brain is smaller than yours but my eyes are larger so I will watch you all. Peacez withz uz allzz.
Piratedave84 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I need protection, because I have all of the night actions. I thought you were the day one lynch ... not the JOAT!!
TrumpetKing Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 But... but.... You're an NPC.... Has anybody seen the Godfather? I must kill him!
Kadabra Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Hello there, I'm not a mob boss. You shouldn't kill me.
TrumpetKing Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Clearly, you're a guy in a track suit. But I'm looking for the godfather...... Where is he?!
mostlytechnic Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Um, anyone else notice that the snake charmer appears to be flipping us all off with his red arms/hands? See, these straight-on headshots are NOT flattering. However, I'm sure as can be that it's meant to be a hint and we must lynch him immediately! Only scum would be making obscene gestures in their photos!
TrumpetKing Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Surely, you must realize that they are snakes, correct? Perhaps you are the true Godfather, attempting to get rid of a poor, lowly man who is forced to charm snakes, just because of his occupation? I still don't know what animal you are, though. May I pet you?
