Mafia

[Onecanofsprite]

It's that classic forum game which is pretty much a staple. Hopefully a lot of you will have played it, but just incase you haven't:

RULES
At the beginning of the game, all players are sent a PM containing their in-game role. There are two 'phases' in this game, each lasting 24 hours so everybody can play. DO NOT REVEAL WHAT YOUR ROLE IS IN THREAD.

Day Phase - Everybody votes for someone to lynch. A player is lynched by majority vote. If everybody votes for a 'No Lynch', nobody will be lynched. It is recommended you give reasons to your votes, apart from Day 1 where everything is random.

Night Phase - All the night action roles perform their actions. Please do not discuss strategy during night phases. Actions are performed by PMing me what you are doing.

To win, all village-sided players must lynch the mafia. For the mafia, they must even the playing field.

Roles:

Cop - Checks a player's alliance each night. They can get 2 reports: 'Innocent' means they are sided with the village. 'Guilty' means they are sided with the Mafia.

Doc - Protects somebody each night. If that player is attacked, then they will be saved and notified.

Mafia - Kills somebody each night. Wins if they equal the village (1 mafia to 1 villager).

If you have any more questions, please ask them.

Signups - Copy and paste from the person above.
1. EricSmarties
2.TheAquapunk
3. Wildwill002 (or windmill )
4. Iron_Fang - Villager. Thought he was bulletproof Night 2. He wasn't.
5.
6. Skunkeh
7. Sir_Luke - Cop. A victim of chance Day 3.

There can be more then 7 people playing, just increase the number on the list. Roles are designated randomnly, so don't worry about bias. If there are 9 players, an extra mafia member will be added for balance.

Some of the guys on here I know IRL (Specifically TyreseEngineer) has requested I post examples of how the game works:

Day EXAMPLE
"Player X has died list night. He was a (ROLE). It is now the Day Phase."
Player Y: I vote for Player Z
Player A: I also vote for Player Z
Player Z: *rage*

[End of day]
"Player Z has been lynched. He was a (ROLE). It is now the Night Phase. All roles please communicate their actions via PMs."
[In Private Messages]
Player A (Mafia): Kill Player Y
Player B (Doc): Protect Player Y
Player C (Cop): Investigate Player B

RESULT: Player Y was saved last night by the doctor, and is duly notified. Player C gets an 'innocent' report from Player B.

"Nobody died last night. It is now the Day Phase."
---------------------------------------

Also, the trick for finding out who seems more suspicious lies in looking at what they've said, it's not entirely random.

Don't increase the player cap unless we have more then 7 people interested, please. 1 slot left!

[Skunk_Giant]

Final person! Y U NO JOIN?!??

[Onecanofsprite]

If another person doesn't join in the next 48 hours, we'll start on the day phase, with 6 people.

[Sir_Luke]

Make me number 5 then? Because that's half of my favorite number.

Sending out role PMs. Since we only have 6 players, it starts on Day Phase.

[Onecanofsprite]

Roles have been sent out.

Day Phase
The village wakes up to discover that Jimbo was killed last night! Shocked at the death of their 7th player, they decide to sort this problem out the one way they know how:

Lynching.

Jimbob, the absent 7th player, has died a bloody death. He was a villager.

It is now the Day Phase! Vote for somebody to lynch. If the majority chooses to Not Lynch, then nobody will die. You have 24 hours to vote for people. Good luck. Please bold in votes so it's easier for me to tally.

[Iron_Fang]

wouldn't it be easier to pm you so it is done in secret?

[Onecanofsprite]

Generally, it's easier to 'read' people if you post in thread, so I don't accept PM votes.

[Wildwill002]

How about we be rational? I choose to not lynch after some thought

[Iron_Fang]

not lynch yet

[EricSmarties]

not lynch

[TheAquapunk]

not lynch *sigh*

[Iron_Fang]

you could lynch if you want

[Skunk_Giant]

Well, I don't wanna be the odd one out, so... Not Lynch.

[Onecanofsprite]

Night Phase
Nobody was lynched!
All roles, please send me your actions in PMs. DO NOT POST THEM IN THREAD (hurf a durf)

[Onecanofsprite]

Day Phase
Nobody died last night! Discuss.

[TheAquapunk]

Well I guess I'm not gonna lynch anyone then.

[Sir_Luke]

No lynch!

[Skunk_Giant]

I don't wanna start being cruel, but it's gonna get boring if we don't lynch...
I'll make my decision soon...

[Iron_Fang]

Sir luke did not decide so to see if he still is playing i may lynch him but i am still undecided if i havent decided when day over it is a no lynch

[Onecanofsprite]

Night phase

Nobody was lynched. Again.

(Yeah, starting tomorrow I'm probably going to remove the No Lynch option.)
