[PLAY TIME] BULLET BALLOT MAFIA
Posts
Hi there again, yeah, mafia time. This time, (to no one's surprise, I'm sure) we're doing something different. But it's different for me, too! No long-ass games based on RP this time!
What is?
Basically, this was something that just popped into my head. It's probably been done before.
Rapid fire game is go! So, basically, depending on the amount of signees, there will be a few killers, and townies. Only two powers this time around. Killers kill, townies lynch, yadda yadda yadda.
So how is this different? Ballots~
Yup, ballots. Every person has one secret ballot which they will fill in over the course of the day and PM to me. The idea is that no-one knows who is going to be lynching whom. You must vote for someone to be lynched during the day phase. The person (or persons, in the case of a tie... depending on amounts of players) will be lynched. As always, town will be trying to lynch the killers.
Powers:
- Double ballot. This will be doled out at random to one person at the start of the game. They must then pass it on to someone else that night. This makes you choose two different people to vote for.
- Null ballot. This will be doled out at random to one person at the start of the game and they must pass it on to someone else that night. Null ballot forces you to pick one person whose ballot doesn't count - so during the day in which you have the Null Ballot, you pick someone and have their Ballot be nothing. You cannot say who you passed the ballot to until it's no longer in their hands (that is, two days after you passed it) and you can only say who you used it on the next day (when your choice is no longer in effect).
Time:
Aiming for 2 days each Day Phase, at most. People who don't talk at all will get killed and/or replaced because no. Please don't sign up if you don't intend to play and get involved. Going under the radar isn't how this works - talking and interacting is how you play, not staying silent. Make it sweet but fast~
Basic Rules:
- No telling what role you are on the day you have it OR who you passed it to on the day THEY have it. (That is, if on Day 1 you had the Null and passed it on to x on Day 2, on Day 3 onwards you may drop their name, but not on Day 2. On Day 2 you may only say that you had it.)
- No telling who you voted for on that day (special powers only). Discussing your choices of the day before is a-okay.
- I will release ballot amounts each day after the lynching. So Day 1's votes will be released just as Night 1 comes in.
- You may talk about your ballot choices but be aware that mafia may not be the only one to lie.
- No talking if you're dead (though feel free to hang around Dead-chat.)
- Do not edit posts or talk during night phase.
A basic day phase will go like so:
- I tell who was killed at night.
- I give ballot numbers (X for yesterdays lynched. Y for this other person. Z for this person)
- You all discuss and form opinions based on information you each give (previous day role claims and ballot voting, etc)
- You all send in one ballot each. If a ballot is missing by end time that person's vote will default to their own name, which can lead to being lynched insteadis eliminated in place of the one who was to be lynched that day.
- Night phase. Killers kill, powers get used and passed.
I'll get more into the rules when the time comes - they're pretty simple. I'm aiming to get this thing started this Friday (I'm a little busy this week and that will give some time for people to get ready).
Feel free to ask questions for clarification.

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

I'm game.

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.

Send me in, coach.
I'm in, like spam in a spam sandwich
I will read the rules this time I promise.
EDIT: Could you clarify what a Null Ballot does to it's recipient? I'm guessing it means that person's vote does not count when they cast it? Does the recipient realize they have a Null Vote when it's on them?

The person who has the Null Ballot can choose whose ballot does not count for that day. For example:
Say on Day 1 I have the Null Ballot. I can PM Liberty (heh) at any time during that day before the ballots are counted to null someone's vote. If I don't pick someone then my vote would get nulled instead. That night phase they have to pass the Null power along to someone else.
The person who had the Null Ballot on day one cannot talk about who they used it on until day two (that is, the day after the effects of the ballot were put into play).
Hope that makes more sense!

Okay, I see. It sounds pretty similar to the Werewolf party game.
I am interested in trying this out, but, I may or may not be able to come on every day, depending on my schedule. Would that hold the game back in any way? If so, I'll go ahead and stay out of it.

though i wasnt able to grasp the game from the reading alone. but i imagine i will catch on fast once we are playing...
As long as you post once or twice a day phase (48 hours - 2 days) and put in your ballot before day ends (and pass on any powers you might have) then it should be fine.
Don't worry, fearful, I'll add more details about the rules when it goes up. This is just to give people a general idea of what kind of game it will be. If you check out a few of the previous mafia games on the site you might get a decent idea what goes on. Very basically:
- town has to figure out who the mafia members are during the day phase through clues and information figured out by chatting to each other during the day phase.
- after day phase is night phase were special powers get used and the mafia members choose to kill one of the town members.
- rinse, repeat until either there are equal amounts of town as there is mafia (mafia wins) or all mafia are killed off (town wins).
There's various rules like no talking outside the thread to each other about your roles (and in this game, no talking about your roles inside the thread until after the role has been passed on) and having to post every day phase, but they'll be explained a bit more.

Alright, thank you. I'd love to join in on this game~
Now, would it be against the rules if I came in with a custom avatar drawn for the posts I make? I prefer role-playing as a male character, whenever I can.

Hah, thanks ^_^
I guess I'd better get him started, so he can be ready for Friday!
Maybe I'll give him an 'I Am A Gangster' T-Shirt. Nobody lynch him, though. It might be too obvious.
