Forum Mafia (game signups)

[7hawk77]

So I was curious if anyone was interested in playing forum Mafia (also known as werewolf, town of salem etc...).


For those who don't know what this game is, it is a game where the majority of players are trying to figure out who the Mafia are, and the mafia are trying to blend in and not get caught.

The day has two phases, day time and night time.


During the day, players can vote for who they want to die. When a player has majority of votes, they die and reveal their alignment.

During night time, Mafia members discuss and choose who to kill. Town members don't get any night actions unless they have a special role. The cop can investigate a player and find out whether they are part of the mafia. The doctor can choose to protect somebody at night, preventing them from dying.



To play we would need 7 people.


If you are interested respond /in.

That sounds super dope actually, what are the specifics to play?

[CaptainCats]

Oh man, I love mafia/ToS. I'd definitely be interested in playing.

So as far as specifics, I would moderate.

In its simplest form, Mafia consists of two sides: the Mafia, and the Town. The Mafia's goal is to kill the innocents, while the Town's goal is to kill the Mafia.

At the beginning of the game, the Moderator will secretly send everyone their role. The Mafia will know each other, while (in the game) everyone else will only know their own role.

The game has two phases, the first of which is Day. During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when a player gets a majority of the votes, they are lynched. Their role is revealed by the Moderator, and it becomes Night.

During the Night, the thread is locked and no one can talk publicly. The Mafia, however, can speak to each other privately to plot strategy and decide who to murder before the next Day begins. In this way, they can silence members of the Town who are threats to them. At the end of the Night, the murder is carried out and another Day begins. In effect, the Town gets to kill someone, and then the Mafia gets to kill someone.

The game alternates between Day and Night until either the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have killed everyone else (or nothing can prevent the same).

The following setup and roles wouldd be used.

It would involve two Mafia players
1. Mafia
2. Mafia

Two town power roles:
3.) Cop
4.) Doctor

And 3 town players (without any night actions)
5.) Town
6.) Town
7.) Town

After that, I would make a brand new thread and begin day 1.

At that point all of the players could then begin posting and voting on who they think should die. As soon as a player gets the majority of votes, that person will die (as soon as I see it and can make the post revealing their alignment). After that it will be the night phase which will last for either 12 hours, or as soon as everyone gets their night actions in, whatever happens faster. During the night phase, you can't post on the thread. The mafia team will have a way to communicate during the night.
After the night, the mafia will likely kill someone and then the next day resumes. This continues until one side wins.



Here are some general rules for the forum mafia:

* No post editing. If you have something else to say, post again. I will be modkilling for this offense.
* Do not communicate with other players outside of the game about the game unless otherwise specified in your role PM. If you are to communicate with another player, I have provided you the means in which to do so in your role PM. I will be modkilling for this offense.
* Do not discuss this game with other people NOT in this game, especially not in a publicly viewable area.
* If you are not a player in the game, do not post in the game thread.
* Make your vote and unvotes bolded and, if you can, in blue so that I may find them more easily. This rule is optional but preferred.
* Twilight periods will last until I can post the lynch results. Players can still talk during this time.
* The Town's win condition is: Eliminate the Mafia
* The Mafia's win condition is: Eliminate the town
* Be courteous to other players while you're killing them. Try not to be rude.
* Stay within the rules of the forum, have fun, blah blah, etc.



If you have any other specific questions, let me know... and it looks like we only need 5 more players

Does this take place here on the NSFL?

[7hawk77]

Yep. In this Off Topic forum. And the hidden messaging would just be direct messaging members.

Examples: mafia could direct message each other and me during the night phase.
Cop and doctor can direct message me during the night.

Sounds like a great time. /in
