Mafia 4

The following information is correct but not complete. There are a couple of twists in addition to what is here. These are dangerous times - there may be consequences to what you say and do, and don't assume things are exactly the same as previous games or threads

Welcome to the island of Knosujii. Here live town people and mafia. The town people want to get rid of the mafia and are willing to kill to achieve it. The mafia want to eliminate as many town people as necessary to guarantee their survival. Try to work out who is on your side and who isn't. Every day you can vote for a person to be lynched by writing their name in bold. Try to give a reason why you chose them (it helps with the guilt). Or vote for no lynch if you think that means there won't be blood on your hands. Votes are counted at 8pm GMT (going by the forum clock). If multiple options are tied for votes then fate decides. When players die there is a special place they can visit to talk about things and cry. It's like the ending to Lost (spoilers).


Town roles:


JOURNALIST - Can perform investigations and writes for the town newspaper which is delivered after 10am.


DETECTIVE - Can perform investigations.


INVESTIGATIONS - An investigator can follow their target for the day to discover their activities. If recruited by the mafia they retain their abilities.


COP - Can put a player in custody for the night. The prisoner is released just after 10am the next day. The same player cannot be arrested two nights in a row. While in custody a player cannot use their powers. The cop's identity is known at the start of the game: Skylarker* is a dedicated public servant who cannot be recruited by the mafia or initiated by the freemasons. He can resist assassination with a shootout.


VIGILANTE - Has a rifle called Charlene and 2 bullets. Can take Charlene out to paint the town red any night. He is dedicated to the town and if the mafia try to assassinate or recruit him he will resist. If he has ammunition left this means a shootout. If he has no ammunition left this means he dies.


SHOOTOUTS - The cop and vigilante can defend themselves against the mafia. A shootout consists of a coinflip for whether the target is killed, and a coinflip for whether the mafia is killed.


FREEMASONS - There are initially 2 freemasons who have a private board to communicate on. They can initiate a 3rd member (not the cop). Freemason membership or initiation is invisible to investigations.


Mafia roles:


MAFIA ASSASSIN - Professional murderer.


MAFIA RECRUITER - Can make an offer most people cannot refuse.


MAFIA HACKER - Can replace the journalist's article with their own one. This only works once and then the journalist updates their security.


MAFIA HEAVY - Each day can force any player to vote for a specific person (or for no lynch). If the player does not have the correct vote made at 8pm they die.



PMs for player roles must be sent before 8pm to have effect that night. The exceptions are the journalist (and hacker) who has a 10am deadline for the newspaper article to be published, and the heavy who has until 10am to name his target. Try to PM your decisions early to avoid problems.


Players may not communicate with each other through PMs. Make sure you have space in your PM inbox to receive my updates. There are quicktopic.com boards set up for the mafia, freemasons, and for dead players. Obviously do not share the links to these boards.

1. Lynch mob acts
2. Cop makes an arrest
3. Vigilante acts

No lynch

 

So....

 

Pussy

 

We have nothing to go on on the first day, no lynch is the only voting option #sensible

 

Except if everyone did that, the mafia heavy can force one of us to vote for another innocent and get rid of one easily.

 

Fair point, hadn't thought of that

 

Or you were hoping we'd all fall for it and then get your mafia chums to use that trick!

 

Won't the mafia just pick us off if we do that?? As they have 2 people who can kill us (I think, Heavy & Assassin) & 1 who can convert while we only have 1 vigilante??

Plus it says in the op "The following information is correct but not complete" so could there be a twist as in if we vote for no lynch everyone will be put to a coin toss? Which could put Skylarker (our mvp) at risk.

 

Well, the idea would be that he they picked us off just before nightfall we'd know who one of them was straight away. However, as Biscan just rightly pointed out, they could use their heavy to do their dirty work so it doesn't work.

Good question about all voting no lynch though. Can't see it happening but would be nice to know what would happen.

 

Plus:

Makes it sound as if something like that would happen...

(The think part specifically)

 

RULE CLARIFICATION

"No lynch" means you actively don't want someone lynched, e.g. a single person cannot form a lynch mob when the rest of the town don't want to.

The rules are the same as if "no lynch" were a person, e.g. 6 votes for Tobes and 6 votes for No lynch means a coinflip of Tobes dead or no one dead.

 

Hi Guys, and so it begins!! How long before afcftw start accusing everyone?

 

I'm assuming if the heavy tells you to vote for someone, you can't post "I vote for xxx because the Heavy told me to"?

 

I'd assume not, but nothing in the rules saying you can't? But then, people could start using that as a bluff

 

Ok so in that instance, if 8 of us voted no lynch, the heavy wouldn't have any influence anyway so could do as Gerrez suggested.

Only problem is, by not lynching people (or at least getting people accused) we don't really work much out...

 

Astro, can you post all the players in the OP so we know who is playing?

 

the maths are still the same

get 3 peopel up for vote and if you like a 4th no lynch option. I don't mind.

if you put 3 poeple up theres a very low chance you've missed the mafia given there are 4 of them out of 15. just saying I'd rather see a situation where 3 or 4 people actually have tho defend themselves than 6/7 no lynch votes making it easy for the mafia to enter day 2 having all thier tools at work.

For me no lynch is a good voting option when you just don't know on day 3. not day 1. you still have to fish for info somehow.


finally... game on.. lets enjoy.

Oh and I'll be helping astro by posting a voting table during the day but he will count votes so if you see an error just say so and we'll keep things straight.
