Holiday Madness Mafia: Sign Ups

[KotZ]

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why: Mafia is coming to town! Do you have a favorite gift? Do you have a gift you don't want to ever lose? Well, looks like there's some mafia members looking to mess up the holidays here! Are you one of them? Or are you part of the town trying to stop them?

I'm looking for (hopefully) eight or nine excited players for a Holiday themed Mafia game; this won't be too crazy of a game, but don't be surprised if it goes off the rails like all of our games seems to do.

1) Have you ever played Mafia before, and what's your experience? If not, have you read some of the games we've had on here?
2) Can you commit to the game timewise?
3) What is your preferred holiday present?
4) For dead threads/scum threads, do you have a preference to use old boards like we did before, or Discord?

For your convenience, the rules (modified and stolen from Kintobor, who in turn stole from def) have been attached below, so everyone knows what they're getting into.

The Rules

1. Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Nice List (Town) or the Naughty List (Scum). To win the game, the Town must kill off all the Scum, while the Scum needs to outnumber the Town. Third-party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles.

2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player.  Voting is mandatory. 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. A majority vote is required to lynch a player. Failure to vote will incur a 2-vote penalty the following game day.

3. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end when a majority vote has been reached after 72 hours. After the day has been concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 20 hours of the night stage.

3.5. Players may not target the same player two nights in a row, and may not target themselves.

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, or in PM with any other players. 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.

6. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. 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.

7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on.

8. You may not edit your posts.

9. You must post in every day thread. 

10. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host via PM.

11. Violation of any of the above rules will result in a 5 vote penalty for the first offence, and death on your second offence.

12. There are no hints or clues in the day/night images.

Woo, a mafia game! I'm in!

1) Have you ever played Mafia before, and what's your experience? If not, have you read some of the games we've had on here?

I think so, once or twice.... in fact, I think my avatar is still my character from the last one :) 

2) Can you commit to the game timewise?

Yup. 

3) What is your preferred holiday present?

My family hates getting presents for me because I tend to just get stuff for myself when I want it, so they can't find anything new for me.

4) For dead threads/scum threads, do you have a preference to use old boards like we did before, or Discord?

Boards. I'm not a fan of discord, but I can figure it out enough if needed.

1.) Yes - Main Street Mafia here on Eurobricks! 
2.) Yes. 
3.) LEGO, obviously! 
4.) I do not have a preference.

Mafia is back!

1. Played a few games here and there.

2. Yes

3. UCS Millenium Falcon (If anyone has £750 to spare please PM me)

4. Prefer boards but I’m happy to use Discord too. 

[KotZ]

Yay, a third of the way there!

In full transparency regarding boards vs Discord, I too prefer boards so any of us can easily go back through old threads and reread rather than having to re ask for private servers and such. Just wanting to gauge interest either way.

[Bob]

I'll participate! I'd suggest staying with writeboards, only because guests can have easy access to them after the game is completed whereas with Discord it can be a bit trickier, for transparency purposes. 

[KotZ]

Halfway there!

[KotZ]

Still halfway there!

[Trekkie99]

Let's gooooo!!!

1. Yes. I'm a chaotic gremlin.
2. Yes. Winter is coming... 
3. More Mafia!!!
4. Either's fine, but old MBs are cooler IMO.

[KotZ]

Yay more people! We're over halfway there, but since there aren't a ton of people still, I'll give this until Sunday/Monday and then close sign ups and start the game.

[KotZ]

Alright, I guess I'll close sign ups and get the game started. Look out for those PMs in the next day!
