Mafia
« on: March 21, 2014, 01:31:06 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.
