SUIKODEN MAFIA [GAME ON, PEEPS]

Posts

This mafia game will be a bit different to past games on the site. There are two ways to win - with the death of the assassin or the death of the target. Town is to protect the target and hunt down the assassin. The assassin is to hunt down the target and escape unscathed.

Those are the basics - there will be a little more to it but we'll get to that when the game is on~

Standard Rules:

-Plurality lynching. Someone has to die (though you are free to vote no-lynch). Ties will be handled as they occur.
-No quoting mod PMs. Or else. You won't like 'or else'.
-NO FUCKING SUICIDES! Please and thank you.
-Day phases will be 1-3 days IRL
-Night phases will be about 12-24 hours, depending on how fast people PM their power uses.
-Try not to post or talk after the hammer.
-Format votes and day actions thusly: #lynch target #action target #cancel
-Non-talking will be punished.
-Dead stay dead unless otherwise asked to haunt the thread.
-If you cannot or no longer wish to play, PM me so I can find a replacement.
- DO NOT EDIT POSTS (Do as I say, not as I do)
- Fake power usage confuses people. Don't do it please.

Game Specific Rules:
-After the desired number of players has been reached I will PM you a character role and your Star. Please do not share your Star for no good reason. Stars will be what your power is based on, and should be kept as secret as your powers or roles. Indeed, Stars will be what the assassin is aiming for so unless you want to make a target of yourself... :/

-Character roles will more than likely NOT match up with Star roles. This is to save people from Google lynching. ;p

Special Events
Some powers allow for a special event to occur after a lynch. These will be announced by myself in the thread and allow for some extra interaction after a lynch. Keep an eye out for these events.

You may find items that can be used during night phases. These will not override your abilities, if you have any. That is, you may use an item (only one per night) and your ability at the same time. To use an item send me this tag in a PM during the Night Phase you wish to use it:
##Use <item>


What is Mafia again (edited from the previous thread which was stolen from the thread before it)

At the start of the game, every player will receive a PM from me personally, stating their role. (This PM may be not be screenshotted or otherwise shared.)

Player roles in this game will be divided into teams - Town and Assassin. There may or may not be other teams aside from these two.

Town
Town players are in the majority. It's their objective to find and kill the assassin among them before the protected is killed. When you are Town, you don't know the alignment of any of the other players, and you'll have to find out yourself who is the assassin, and kill them by vote or night power, if you have one. Some town may know the roles of others.

Assassin
There is only one assassin. They can kill one player of their choosing every night and may have another power at their disposal. As an assassin player, your plan is to stay incognito, and act like a regular townie, while killing the target you were given. You win when your target is eliminated and you survive.

In addition to this, there may also independent players. These players are not aligned with the assassin or the town, although their goals may coincide with either faction.

The game is divided in two turns:
- Day phase:

The game starts off with a day phase. During the day Everyone can talk in this very thread. Additionally, Everyone has the option of voting (publicly) for who they think should be killed that day- that includes the assassin. Once a certain amount of time has passed (usually 2-3 real life days), the Day phase will end and Night phase will start. At the end of the allotted time, whoever has the most votes on them will be lynched. We're not playing majority this time around.

- Night phase:

During Night phase, Nobody is allowed to talk in this thread. However, there may be some who can talk in their own separate thread. The assassin can decide upon a player to kill to that night. Certain Town players may also have actions that they use during the night, which will be explained in more detail in their role PM's. After about 1 real life day, the night will end, all night actions will take effect, and another day will start.

Dead
When you have died (for instance by vote, or night kill) you will receive a PM stating your death and cause of death. From then on, you are never allowed to type in this thread anymore, and neither can you vote - unless otherwise noted by the mod. When a player dies, their role and identity will be revealed as well.




If you think this sounds like fun or you want to try something a bit different, feel free to sign up. We'll start with 12 slots but can go larger if needed.

I am Very IN THis Game
...why did I just have a shiver down my spine just as I've finished signing up :/
No suicide allowed? sorry no can do Libs :P

Seriously tho, if someone purposefully quotes a PM to get killed, what happens? Suicide like that isn't allowed, but technically you have to mod-kill 'em, don't ya? How're you gonna deal with that if it comes up?
Blacklist them from future games. Honestly that's just fucking rude to the one who've put so much effort in setting up the game.

the way it is usually dealt with, is, if someone is just doing that to be a jerk, i wouldnt let them play in my games anymore. but they gotta be modkilled yes. it's rude to the other players, too!

so it's a case by case basis.

Ivory has joined! This could potentially be good or really really bad in an entertaining way. Either way, I shall sign up.

do you have a death wish???
I was thinking more a non-talking role where they're forced to play anyway but cannot talk. I was also thinking giving them important information for town so that the agony of not being able to share really, really HURTS. The agony of having something important to share that could help win but without the ability to say it.

And yeah, blacklisted from future games. Because if you don't want to play anymore PM me so I can find a replacement instead of fucking over the other players.

Honestly though, if someone did that I'd find another player to take their place and give em a new role. I actually started planning this game about a year ago so I've a few roles to spare. (I originally concepted a 108-role game but that was just a 'lawl' thing. Chances of getting that many players is a bit ridiculous. XD )

I've never done a mafia game before. I think I'll give it a try. Sign me up.
The one and only piano man has joined. How exciting!

@ivory Please, lord, do not make ivory mafia... (Or however this is going to work. I guess it'd be more accurate to wish not to be ivory's target?)

I'm not signing up for this one. But would you mind linking me to the deadchat when this starts so I can watch with you?
Sure, why not? Just not chatting if you're not part of the play. ^.^

The game would take half a year to be finished and certain someone will complain about mafia spam again xD

I am now certain that you are not scum and are just town trying to play scum as hard as possible.

Assassin role sounds cool! You also made the rules sound a little clearer, so I'll probably copy & edit them from this thread for my next game.

Then I'll be using rules which I stole from you, cave and myself xD
