Mafia
By: nitrox116 Date: March 21, 2014, 1:31 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
So, I was thinking of adding some kind of forum game, and I
thought of mafia. For those unfamiliar with the game, basically
there's a large 'village' and a small 'mafia.' The mafia know
who the other mafia are, but the villagers are uninformed. The
mafia kills villagers at nighttime, while the villagers (and
mafia) vote to 'lynch' someone during the day. Hopefully this
person is a member of the mafia, because otherwise the village
will have a problem...
Some players, mafia or village, will receive roles with 'night
actions.' A night action is a special ability of a character
that can be performed during the night by sending a PM to the
game host.
Excuse me if this should go in the RP thread, but I classified
it as more of a forum game so I put it here.
If you want to sign up for this mafia game, just say so here.
After a few days, I'll send everyone who has signed up a PM with
their role. Hopefully enough people sign up... It's not very
much of a time commitment, you basically converse/question/vote
in the thread and PM me your actions.
Commitments
The 'day' portion of mafia (discussions and lynches) lasts until
a >50% majority has been hit in lynching. If an incredible
stalemate has been reached and no one will change their votes, I
might call it after a few days. Note that while it's not
mandatory to post in this thread during the day period (except
if a majority can't be reached otherwise), it's awfully
suspicious to be avoiding attention like that.
The 'night' portion of mafia (PMs sent to me about more secret
actions like abilities or mafia deaths) will last for 24 hours
after the 'day' portion ends, unless everyone gets in their PMs
earlier. Otherwise, you will not perform an action.
If, for some reason, you can't get on/can get on very little for
a day or so, please say so in this thread. If you have to go on
an internet-less vacation for two weeks starting the day after
tomorrow (for example), please reconsider signing up. Thank
you.
Voting
You can vote for someone to lynch in this thread during the day
period, accompanied by comments. You can also vote to lynch
nobody. Votes can be changed as many times as you want: simply
state "Changing vote from [user] to [user]." I'd appreciate if
you colored/bolded/enlarged your votes to make them stand out
more. If a majority greater than 50% is reached, no more votes
can be changed. For example:
8 players, 3 votes for Player A, 2 for Player B, and 1 each for
Players C, D, and E
Even though there is a majority, it is not greater than
50%. The votes will continue until there is a >50% majority or
an impasse is reached.
8 players, 5 votes for Player A, 3 for Player B
This is a greater than 50% majority. No more votes can be
changed and Player A will be lynched.
Communication
Living players can communicate however they want: by
spreadsheet, PM, whatever. Only the mafia players will actually
know who's village/mafia, though. Dead players cannot talk to
living players about the game: I can't monitor your
conversations, so I'm just going to trust you guys on this.
Feel free to appoint village leaders, share your roles,
whatever: but not if you're dead! Keep in mind that not
everything someone says to you may be true...
Theme
No theme unfortunately, since there aren't enough players.
Current Players
I'm looking for 12 people! Please sign up!

RANDOM ADDITIONAL RULES:
1) After a majority has been reached, you may not change your
vote.
2) You cannot talk about Mafia in the forum after you are dead.
You can talk a little bit in chat (because that's unavoidable),
but please do not try to make arguments about who is mafia or
recommend the proper course of action. Use your best judgement.
You may write a will and send it to me before you die, which
will be read upon your death.
3) The only way that you can share PMs is by quoting.
Screenshots, looking over shoulders, sharing account passwords,
etc. is not allowed.
4) Don't use mod-powers to forge stuff, as it creates an uneven
playing field.
5) Play to win. Don't randomly switch sides. This will be on a
case-by-case basis: obviously the mafia can do something to try
to fool the village, or the neutral can do whatever he wants, or
you can make a simple mistake.
6) Players may not edit their posts without noting the edit.
Any infringement of the above rules will result in a penalty
decided by the current game host.

May I suggest a little more turn order, I'm signing up, but
these rounds will take a long time as everyone has to report in
for each game day, so when you sign up, make sure you report
back for each day of the game, as you will have stuff to do,
especially if you have a roll, nitrox, you may need to deatil
out the rules more on the main post

More stuff is being added to the OP to explain various things
better. Thank you for the recommendation.

BTW, I'd preferably like 12 people, although a little bit less
is fine. 8 villagers, 4 mafia.
