PHOENIX MAFIA: ONLINE TURNABOUT
Posts
=====================================
Phoenix Wright Mafia
Aka: Red-Tape Mafia
A game for 10 - 20 players.
=====================================
RULES
Each game consists of multiple town-aligned Citizens. Several mafioso Killers. And two unique roles: The Prosecuting Attorney and the Defense Attorney, who have unique abilities both shared and separate. It is the job of the attorneys to use their privileged status and guide the town in catching the mafia. They must convince the citizens of a docile poster's guilt, or dissuade them from lynching an innocent. If the killers are caught, the town wins. If the killers murder the whole town, or a situation arises where they cannot lose, the mafia wins.
+ + + + + + + +
Citizens are the regular town players. The decision to lynch or not to lynch is left in their hands. A citizen may have a unique role that gives them an edge over the other players, randomly determined at the beginning of the game.
==Citizen Roles==
+ + + + + + + +
Each game begins with 1-4 Killers who slowly kill off the citizens and create mischief night by night. Killers are chosen from among the citizens after the other roles are determined. For nightkills, one among the mafia must be chosen to carry out the deed.
==Killer Roles==
+ + + + + + + +
Attorney Abilities
The Attorneys are immune to all effects. Neither can be killed. Nor are they allowed to vote conventionally. Despite being town-aligned, they do not count toward total town members for win-condition purposes.
At any time, either attorney may #object to a citizen's statement and officially accuse them of being the Killer. This adds 2 to the total vote count toward majority, to a total of 4 if both push the same lynch. However once declared, it cannot be removed until the day ends. If an attorney mislynches a citizen via his objection, a penalty is applied and he cannot use bolded powers for the next night-day cycle.
+ + + + + + + +
Prosecution
The prosecution may privately convene with the Detective at any time, working together to catch the killer. Once and only once, he may #convict a citizen of being mafia, effectively acting as an instant hammer vote. The standard penalty applies if incorrect.
In the event of a tie, the prosecution determines the tie breaker at his discretion.
+ + + + + + + +
Defense
The defense must, before the end of day 1, choose a client from among the citizens. This client's identity is not revealed and is protected from night actions. The defense may privately talk with him at any time. If the client is lynched, the defense may not select a new one.
In addition, the defense may #investigate a citizen once per night, scanning them for their role and who they targeted that night.

Citizens are the regular town players. The decision to lynch or not to lynch is left in their hands. A citizen may have a unique role that gives them an edge over the other players, randomly determined at the beginning of the game.
==Citizen Roles==
Citizen - A plain old citizen. All you have is your wits.
Detective - There can only be one of these at a time. Once per night, the detective may scan a citizen for their role and alignment, but he cannot reveal his information during the day. Detectives are aware of all Officers in play.
Officer - An officer passively boosts the abilities of a Detective in play, allowing an extra scan per night. If a detective is dead or non-existent, the prosecutor may promote an Officer to a Detective. There can be no more than two at a time.
Vigilante - A vigilante can shoot one and only one citizen as a night action. Once the shot is fired she is treated as a regular citizen.
Reporter - May scan one citizen for their role and alignment, but may reveal their information publicly.
Photographer - Each night, the photographer picks a citizen, who must vote for another citizen of her choosing the next day.
Doctor - Each night, the doctor chooses a citizen to protect from nightkills and conversions.
Assassin- When killed, the person who dealt the killing blow, via lynch or nightkill, will die themselves. A programmer's mark provides no boost.
Acrobat - Unable to be targeted by any abilities save for nightkills or attorney powers.
Bailiff - Can roleblock another person's ability.
Channeler - The channeler may place two votes. One made public, the other in secret. Both are visibly tallied.
Scientist - The scientist selects someone to learn who they targeted that same night.
Guitarist - Takes an attorney's vote to lynch.
Magician - Can survive one mislynch or nightkill.
Businessman - If killed, they are able to leave behind a page number of the thread as a clue to the killer's identity. They are also immune to conversions.
Thief - A thief's alignment cannot be scanned by a Detective or Reporter. A thief can also misdirect another citizen's night action to another player of their choosing.
Programmer - A programmer may mark a citizen. +1 is added to that citizen's role ability where applicable. The mark exists as long as the citizen and programmer remain alive, and may be renewed if the citizen dies. If a Killer is marked, the killer's unique abilities are not boosted. There can only be one programmer at a time. You cannot mark yourself.
Detective - There can only be one of these at a time. Once per night, the detective may scan a citizen for their role and alignment, but he cannot reveal his information during the day. Detectives are aware of all Officers in play.

==Killer Roles==
Mafia Killer - The standard killer role. He kills people. :0
Mafia Framer - A framer may mark one citizen as a night action so that they appear as a Mafia Killer when scanned. The mark exists as long as that citizen remains alive, and may be renewed if they are lynched.
Mafia Mastermind - Appears as a Citizen when scanned. A Mafia Mastermind can choose to forgo the mafia's nightkill to convert a player into a Mafia Killer instead. If a Mastermind dies, the mafia instantly loses.

- The game runs on 72 hour days and 24 hour nights, EST. Give or take a few dozen, depending.
- Votes are decided by majority, not plurality.
- Use the #lynch Isrieri format to lynch a fool.
- No posting after I bring the hammer down. Posting before I bring the hammer down is fine and dandy.
- No quoting mod PMs.
- When you're dead, don't post in the thread.
- No sending PMs to other players. YOUR ENTRAILS WILL BECOME YOUR EXTRAILS. SO MUCH PAIN.

I know I said I'll never do a Mafia game again... But I can't deny a mafia of probably one of the best games I ever played!
I even came prepared with a new avatar for the occasion! :D

And then post remarks on other forum games when you don't find any. Not complaining.
This post is also me NOT signing up for this. Just wanted to say the roles look very interesting and I like to think you've implemented a dynamic with the Defense and the prosecution so that they must work together to win. Looking forward to being a spectator.

Let me know if you change your mind. More players = more better. And you're a fun guy to play mafia with.
I wish I could, if for no other reason than to get better at the game, but my computer is dead, and using the Playstation Net totally sucks. Maybe if signups are still going when I manage to get a computer online.
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.
