Game Mechanics:
The game will run on 24 hour rounds. Start time is 8am BST Monday (when i open thread). Night will fall at 9pm each night (per discussion on sign up)


Roles will be randomly assigned. Roles will be passed to participant by the forum conversation system. Be ready to get a PM, be sure to check before 9am Monday... and keep checking, everyone gets a PM. If you didn't get one PM me.

Mafia PM will read: you are mafia (role)

Vampire PM will read: you are the vampire

Town detective PM will read: You are the detective

Town vampire hunter PM will read: You are the vampire hunter

Town Jailer will read: you are the jailer

Vanilla PM will read: you are TOWN


ONLY those on assigned teams can communicate privately, no other private communication between participants is allowed. Mafia and vampire can strategise via QT board as much as they wish and communicate findings

Role specific actions are communicated to games master by PM up to 9pm each night, you miss the time you don’t get you action.

No PMs of any type are allowed to be published. If you get one you cannot use it as proof or you will be removed from game, If you make up a total lie that’s ok but if you are found to have published any screen shots or copy and pastes or even close paraphrasing of your role to prove how you are you will be removed. The point of the game is deception and figuring out who is who.

The point of telling you all text of the role PMs is that everyone knows. I am not stopping anyone bleating out a role and i am not stopping anyone lying to save themselves. there will be wriggle room to lie.

Public forum is used to vote IN BOLD for who the town will lynch. Accusations, discussions and all sorts are permitted. Vote changing and re-changing is perfectly fine. You can claim anything you want at any time. Assume bad guys will be doing this as strategy. A simple majority vote is required to lynch. Someone must be lynched each day

Once a participant is lynched they get ONE free eulogy post where they can say I told you so and no more. Do not post any game related comments to influence the play. Comments and tags will be deleted

Messing about will make you sick, there is ebola going about. If you catch ebola you lose your vote in the following round but luckily the drugs in the US can cure you after 24 hours. Be warned. Decisions of why you got it are the games master’s decision and final.

Posts that hurt the game will be deleted, this includes ghosts and non playing persons. Do not take offence as I will be trying to delete EVERYTHING irrespective of who. Do not make a big thing of one being deleted or not deleted I will be trying to delete all.


Win conditions are:
Mafia win when they outnumber town players and vampires are eliminated
Vampires win they outnumber town players and mafia are eliminated.
Townspeople win when all bad guys are wiped out


Order of actions:


1. Lynching occurs
2. Jailer acts
3. Vampire acts
4. Mafia acts
5. Vampire hunter acts
6. Other killers act.
7. Investigations occur

Other random roles in general will occur After jailer, i could end up with a list a mile long if i tried put all here.


THE ROLES: There will be 18 roles in the game, one for each player. I have already USED the allowance for an 18th player so if anyone else signs up i'm ****ed. But seriously if someone turns up there's prob space before the roles are assigned. There will be more than 18 roles described below and this will be to give hiding room for people to lie.


The Mafia Team: (1,2,3,4) (these numbers merely act to count numbers of people in group)

The mafia act as a team, there will be FOUR mafia. The mafia will have a kill each night and two other power. They can use all powers on the same night

Godfather: The godfather will have final say on the target. If he does not say anyone then the mafioso can pick his own target.

The god father is immune to vampire bites, due to the extreme amount of garlic he eats on his pasta. He will also be able to hide from the sheriff role (if in game) and appear not suspicious.


The godfather should note that if the mafioso dies he will go out at night and do the killing.


The Mafioso: The mafioso is a goon. He will be the one who carries out the night kill, he can select a target but if godfather selects someone else he will kill the godfather's target.. If the godfather dies the mafioso will become the godfather will assume his role (immunity) but continues to do the kill. Killing is a risky business


Random mafia: There are 5 POSSIBLE roles for the final 2 mafia. this adds some confusion about what is happening. It will be one of the following:

a) The Framer: The framer can act each night and changes peoples wills. The framer will pick someone before nightfall to frame. (it can be anyone) If the person dies then the last will of that person will be deleted and replaced by a will written by the Mafia for them. (knowing their role). Wills will be published for everyone at 10am and details will be below. this gives mafia some time to write a new will but they will be NOT get the original will. it will be an insertion of a whole new document. The framer must visit at night to frame.


b) The Cleaner: The cleaner can act each night. They may target any player and the results of all reports will come up blank. This could be investigations or last wills and my day report so If cleaned someone's role will not be published. The cleaner will be told it however.


c) The consiglieri: This is the mafia's equivalent of a detective. As a bad guy he has an advantage. He knows most of the other bad guys. However like a detective he will only get an idea of what the person might be, not the exact role. (exact clue please refer to detective role to save space)


d) The consort: The consort can act each night. They may visit any player and block their action for the night…in a steamy night of passion. The person will know they were blocked but not by who. The consort will not find the person’s role as she’s too busy.


e) Disguiser: the disguiser can act each night. They can select one player and disguise themselves as that person so that if an investigator role visits they will get a false read. The risk is knowing who to disguise as.


The Vampire Team: (5)

The vampire starts as a solo team. The vampire team can bite a player every second night. (so night 1, night 3, night 5) There may only be 3 vampires at a time. Once 3 are present the bite is suspended until one dies

The YOUNGEST vampire will be sent out to do the biting. This exposes them to risk

The vampire cannot convert a mafia. A mafia will die rather than be converted BUT the godfather will not die. If this occurs the GF hit is not counted as a convert, so the vampires may bit the following night again.

If youngest vampire visits the vampire hunter then the vampire will be killed.


The TOWN Team: (6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14)

The town will start with 9 players, only a few are known roles. The others have a range of possible roles that are organised into groups as shown below… read on. Do not assume that as there is one that another won’t exist I will be assigning randomly)

The vampire hunter: (town)

He is a loner who decided to end the plague of vampires in the world and moves from town to town seeking them. Each night the vampire hunter may select a player to visit. If he visits a vampire he will kill them.

The order of night states that when he visits a person will have been bitten already. this person will be staked and killed. He will not see the vampire who bit the person so will not kill them as well
This WILL count as a successful conversion, so vampire cannot bite again the following night.
If a vampire visits the hunter he will kill the vampire. (immune to them)

Clearly its in the vampire team’s interest to get this guy some how.


The Jailer: (town)

There can only be ONE Jailer. The jailer has the power to lock one person up at night. This locked up person is then totally immune from the other players that night.

In prior games I tried to give the jailer the ability to question his prisoner, but it really didn't work so this is now gone.

The jailer gets 2 executions but if he kills a good town member he will lose the ability to kill. (second kill is removed)

Jailer can select target to lock and say execute as well. He can do this blind at major risk OR he can wait a while and really think someone is for sure guilty and do it.

The jailer cannot lock himself up.

Players locked up can declare they are locked up this is a fair tactic but it’s a major risk if fake

Town Investigative role:

There will be AT LEAST TWO investigative players for the town. There are a few different types of investigator.


a) The Sheriff:

He is a town cop who watches people looking for suspect activity. Each night the sheriff visits someone and checks them out. The result of this is simple. “suspicious” or “not suspicious”

This means he can only see serial killer (if included) and Mafia

b) The Detective:

The detective is a professional PI. He may visit and investigate one person per night.

Here are the results he will get

Vigilante, Veteran, or Mafioso.
Medium, Cleaner, or Retributionist.
Survivor, Vampire Hunter, or Amnesiac.
Sheriff, Executioner, or Werewolf.
Framer, Vampire, or Jester.
Lookout, Jailer, or Witch.
Escort, switcher, or Consort.
Doctor, Disguiser, or Serial Killer.
Investigator, Consigliere, or Mayor.
Bodyguard, Godfather, or Arsonist.


c) Lookout

The lookout is another cop role. This cop will stake out a targets house and record the comings and goings that night. He doesn’t get information on the target but rather knows everyone who visits that house that night.

If a vampire visits He will not be bitten.


Town Killing role:
There will be AT LEAST ONE further killing player for the town. There are a few different types of killer (one is the vampire hunter).

a) The veteran

The veteran is a hardnosed old coot with a shotgun. He can nominate to be "on guard" 2 times in the game. the rub is he will blast ANYONE visiting his house. good or bad. Nobody will be told if the veteran was on guard or not. He will kill everyone so could take out 5 people or nobody at all for all i know.

b) The Vigilante

The vigilante will be given 2 bullets at the start of the game and can shoot people. The thing is he is a bit unhinged. If he shoots a town player, he will suicide immediately. Take care not to put two own goals in the one night.

The vigilante also visits at night.

Please note that if he visits and the person had already died that night he will shoot the corpse just to be sure.

Town Protection Role:

There will be AT LEAST ONE protective player for the town. There are a few different types

a) The Doctor

The Doctor may select one player each night and visit them. If he finds the person dying he will heal them. Very simple. The doctor can protect himself only once in the game by visiting himself. The person who is healed will be told he was healed and the doctor will be told he successfully healed someone

b) The bodyguard

The bodyguard may select one player each night and visit them. If he finds the person under attack he will throw himself in front of the attack and die protecting his target.

The bodyguard may protect himself once during the game.

Town Support Role:

There will be AT LEAST TWO of these player in the town team. There are a few different types

a) The Mayor

The mayor of the town is in hiding. He can sit in hiding for as long as he likes and never reveal himself. However, if he does reveal himself his vote increases in strength (worth score of 3) To balance this the moment the mayor becomes reveals the town protective roles cannot protect him.

When bitten by a vampire this boosted vote power is lost.

b) The Escort:

The escort may select one player each night and visit them. They may visit any player and block their action for the night…in a steamy night of passion. The person will know they were blocked but not by who. The escort will not find the person’s role as she’s too busy.

The escort and consort can block each other and not realise it.

c) The Retributionist:

The retributionist has a single use power. They can resurrect one town player who has died.

This resurrection will occur AFTER the nightfall of the following day. So if someone gets lynched night 1 they could be brought back on day 3.


d) The Switcher:

The switcher may select two player each night and switch them. This can create chaos in the game for all the other roles. If someone is targeted and are switched whatever person that takes their place will be targeted instead.

Investigators will not know that they get the result from a switched person.


e) The medium:

The medium will have access to the dead board and can read any comments made there. All evil teams beware. This can counter the cleaner if dead choose to give their role.

It is a powerful role as you could have 10 sets of eyes for you to talk to.. but beware the evil forces.

Neutral players:
There will be a range of possible neutral players also each with their own way to win the game. They may align themselves with anyone they see fit to achieve their aims. Again there will be ONE or each type but not sure which.

Neutral Evil: (15)

a) The executioner
The executioner will be assigned a taret at random and their job will be to have that person LYNCHED. If they succeed they will win the game with whatever side wins. If however that person gets killed before lynched there is one more chance, the executioner will become a jester can get themselves lynched to grab the win.

b) The jester
The Jester is a silly twat who wants to trick the town. His aim is to get himself LYNCHED. If they succeed they will win the game with whatever side wins. If they get lynched they can then KILL one of those who voted for them. This is rather fun as the jester must be smart, nobody wants to die after being fooled. Voters also need to beware if the suspect a jester is at play. Lynch him and suffer the consequences.

c) The Witch
The witch can only win if she helps one of the two evil teams win. The witch cannot communicate with the evil teams but she will only win if one of them win.

The witch will select a target each night to control. She will then select a target to send that person to.

For example She will say Control X player to visit Y player.

This will then direct whatever power X person has at Y player.

As this is a hard role to win from the witch gets the advantage that she will be told the role of the person she controls.

The person who was control WILL be told they were controlled by a witch.

d) The plague Carrier:
The plague carrier got a dose off a one night stand and has decided to spread it round. They may visit one person every night and give them the disease. If that person gets visited or visits someone else they will also get the plague.
The plague carriers objective is that ALL players at end of game must have the plague.

Neutral Killer: (16)

a) The arsonist

The arsonist is a nutjob. He can visit a target each night and douse someone in petrol. That person will be told that they were doused.

The arsonist may at a night of his choosing light the match and incinerate all of his victims. nobody will be doused that night.
The sheriff will not see the arsonist. The detective will, subject to rules above.
This is not an easy role.. not at all. As such he will be bite and night kill immune. He can douse the veteran.

He will win only if the mafia and vampires are wiped out.


b) The serial killer
The serial killer is a sadist. He can visit each night and will disembowel his victims with an axe.
If he Is visited by an escort or consort he will kill them.
If he is locked up by the jailor he will kill the jailer unless the jailor has decided to execute him.

This prevents him from being role blocked and rendered useless

c) The werewolf:
Every second night (night 2, 4, 6) one townsperson will become a werewolf and go to a targets house and kill EVERYONE at that house. He could kill 5 people or just one for all I know. He will kill even if a veteran is on guard but will die himself.

If the werewolf is on the rampage and is role blocked or jailed he will kill the role blocker or jailer.

Neutral Benign: (17)

a) The Amnesiac.
You wake up in the hospital and cannot remember who you are. you only get flashbacks and at night you will stumble about the town ending up in the graveyard. Each night you pick one gravestone and look at it.

If you pick the right one you will remember who you are
This role will adopt the power of a someone that has DIED in this game. There are some unique roles that they cannot choose like jailor. If a cleaner has destroyed a players role then it can’t be selected as its unknown.

This will work by the Amnesiac selecting someone form the dead list and the following night reviving as that person. (so earlist is night 2)

The amnesiac cannot win unless he chooses a role. He can pick ANY role from dead list, good or evil.


c) Survivor
The survivor is quite simple. He wants no part in this and will win if he survives to last day. He will be given 2 bullet proof vests and may wear one or not. He thus takes the risk of being killed at night or may protect himself.

If he feels he can survive without one he takes the chance. If he wears one he is then protected that night


The Randomer (18)
The random player role is my out for an extra player. From all of the above roles (minus a couple like the jailor) I will pick ONE extra role. This could mean the mafia go to 5, there might be two serial killers, etc etc etc. The role for this person will be form the above.


Special notes:

1. Last wills:
Last wills are a chance for any dead to pass on a bit of info.
You must write your last will if you want one by 8pm and send it to me. No note, no will.

The framer may change them
The cleaner will delete them

The will may contain insults, truths, downright lies. They should be viewed as an opportunity to pass on something you learned in the game but also as something that might have been touched.

Wills will be published around 10am the following morning.


2. PM boards: Quick topic will be used, any issues getting on them should be communication ASAP in game so some option can be used.


3. This game is set up to have risk. Its not my construct It’s a game you can play online. Every action taken should have some risk attached but to do nothing probably is also a risk.

4. It will be VERY difficult to account for roles in this game so people need to pay very close attention
to the results and who is saying what. Especially if i accidentally post all the roles in order again

My advice is start with a table and fill in detail

Town:
Jailer
Vampire hunter
investigator 1
investigator 2
Killing town role
Town Protector role
Town Support role 1
Town support role 2
Random town player (this is a hint to all btw, i did say 9 town players)

Mafia:
Godfather
Mafioso
random mafia 1
random mafia 2

Vampires:
Vampire lord

Neutrals:
Neutral killer
Neutral Evil
Neutral Benign

The randomer: (could be anything)

Results:

DAY 1 RESULTS:

ademuzzy is LYNCHED. He was the SHERIFF
Solid air is shot by the Mafia. HE was CLEANED
A serial killer attacked IBWT and hacks him to pieces with an axe. He was the FRAMER
WEREWOLF RAMPAGES…. It tears up Tobes house. Stuffs a lightbulb up tobes arse after ripping his head off. It also finds Bodinki visiting and kills him on his ramage (unstoppable) tobes was the LOOKOUT. Bodinki was the BODYGUARD
before any questions: this is actually correct to rules. Werewolf rampage was signalled earlier in day by saying full moon(ok so thats not quite obvious but the idea is roles are not known til they results show them.) Also I know Bod will want to know why his rotect didn't work but the Werewolf is unstoppable when rampaging.

also all is not lost others roles may now be triggered.

final note: several people did not give any action. you know who you are and why I don't but just a reminder.. its about risk. Bod is example of what can happen with action but equally no risk no reward.

Roles in game picked.

People assign.

PMs going out now.

Again sorry form the utter **** up. If you submit your nominations for biggest **** ups in the history of mafia i will create a poll for the awards ceremony.

 

Okay but I still don't think this matches Sir Tennis' or Valley's (it was Valley who killed himself, wasn't it?) efforts in previous games.

 

please log in to view this image

 

I was about to say that.
That was the most spectacular **** up I have ever witnessed

 

What did tennis do again. I cant recall.

Anyway Apologies guys. I know this isn't ideal and will prob now run to weekend so I will cut it at friday and start again monday if thats what happens.

This one is now set up so have at it.

 

Sir T was the one where I, when Mafia Boss, was recruited to be his Police sidekick and fed him false info which he accepted even when at the end the info was clearly wrong but he trusted me and so went along with it and then even lied about having investigated me when he hadn't.

 

Vote ADEMUZZY

Not a clue who to vote for so just copying my choice from yesterday.

 

Chaos

 

and so it begins...

 

Seriously
