Mafia Game #72

Host: @Lambu


The MH specific game rules will be explained below. If you would like to play, please announce your participation in the "Mafia Game Discussion" Thread. This thread is strictly for playing the game. Thank you.​

Game Instructions

Spoiler

Players will be secretly assigned roles. One group will play the "Mafia"; the other group will play the "Townies". The Townies will not know who other Townies or Mafia members are. However the Mafia members will know who their fellow Mafia members are.

During the "day" phase, all of the players debate the identities of the Mafia members and at the end each person will vote to eliminate a suspect. This is carried out in the "game thread". In the game's "night" phase the Mafia will privately discuss who they should kill. They will then send this person’s name to the host, as well as other actions. Play will then continue until all of the Mafia have been eliminated, or until the Mafia reaches the same number as Townies.

A typical game will start with a minimum of 7 players, divided into 5 Townies and 2 Mafia members. The members that will be Mafia and Townies will be chosen through a random list generator. There the participating players' names will be put in and after the randomisation the Mafia roles will go to the names at the top of the list. This is to avoid butthurt and favouritism accusations. :'[

Lastly, the numbers of Mafia members depends on the number of participants!

Spoiler: Indicative guideline

• 7 - 10 = 2 Mafias
• 11 - 13 = 3 Mafias
• 14 - 17 = 4 Mafias
• 18 - 20 = 5 Mafias
• 21 - 24 = 6 Mafias
  etc.

Game Phases

Spoiler

PHASE 1: DAY
This is where you discuss/argue about who is and isn't mafia. As soon as the Day Phase starts, you are allowed to vote. The Day Phase will take place strictly inside the "game" thread. Any discussions regarding the Day Phase outside the thread will be dealt with severely.

The length of a Day Phase is set by the host, usually starting at ~24 hours and getting shorter the less players remain alive.

VOTE KILL [user]
This will be the manner in which you vote. Make sure it is clearly displayed in your post though bold font.
You will be only allowed 1 vote change per phase. So use your vote wisely.



PHASE 2: NIGHT
The host closes the game thread during the Night Phases.
There should be no discussion about the game during the Night Phase, regardless of the player being still in the game or already out.

During the Night Phase, the Mafia members will collaborate and choose who they want to kill. They will not do this in the thread, but via PMs with each other or other alternative communication channels approved by the host, such as PiratePad EtherPad.

At the beginning of the game the Mafia members will be informed of the other members' roles and identities. They must PM the host telling them their choice for the night's murder and the murderer from their team. There can only be one murder in the Night Phase, therefore the Mafia members must come to an agreement.

If the Mafia don't send in their night kill before the Night Phase ends, then their action will not be performed. The Mafia can also send in their night actions during the previous Day Phase, if they think they will not be online during the coming Night Phase.

The length of a Night Phase is set by the host, usually ~12 hours.

MH Specific Game Rules

Spoiler

ACTIVITY RULES

• Be active in every Day Phase and post at least three times. It's a Minor Violation if you don't do that and will result in Penalty Vote(s)/Hostkill and ban from future games (Hall of Shame). If you are going to miss out a period of time due to real life events make sure to inform the host, who is going to judge each situation individually and decide whether or not taking the player out of the game is necessary.
• Place at least one vote every Day Phase. It's a Minor Violation if you forget to place a vote and will result in Penalty Vote(s)/Hostkill and ban from future games (Hall of Shame).
• Don't post more than 100 times per Day Phase. This is to reduce spam and the volume of posts per game. Nobody has time to go through hundreds of one liner posts with the same content over and over again (Imperium Copyright Rule). If you hit the volume restriction, it's a Minor Violation. You will get a Penality Vote per 10 additional posts you make.
• No talking during Night Phases, except for some roles which are explicitly allowed and encouraged to. The Night Phases are only to send in night actions. The scale of punishment for players who are caught discussing game content in the night may vary from Minor Violation to instant Hostkill, depending on the seriousness of the comment and/or warnings given before.
• Dead people can't talk. So don't post once your character is dead; do not help others once you are dead. You can, however, lurk the thread. If you post regardlessly, you will be banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

OUTER THREAD RULES

• Absolutely DO NOT discuss the game outside of the game thread (unless you are Mafia members discussing it with your teammates through PMs/EtherPad). This is so that people do not reveal their roles and ruin the game. Players violating this rule will be instantly Hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
• Do not directly comment on the current game, once you are dead. This is so you don't influence the players that are still playing. Violators of this rule will be banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

OTHER GAME RULES

• You are not allowed to post any screenshots, PMs or anything similar that can reveal your role, or the role of others, nor fake host PMs. If you do, you will be Hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
• You are not allowed to pretend being a Daytime Vigilante, Badass Cowboy, or other roles that have Day Commands. It's a Minor Violation if you do that regardlessly.
• You are not allowed to ignore directions sent in to you by the host, for example a mandatory vote change by the Politician. It's a Minor Violation if you fail to respond accordingly.
• You are not allowed to majorly edit the content of your posts, nor delete any of your own or someone else's posts without the Host's approval. If you do, you may get a Minor Violation punishment or be Hostkilled immediately and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

RULE BREAKING, PUNISHMENT & HALL OF SHAME

Minor Violations are "small rules violations", which do not result in a Hostkill instantly, but are sanctioned with Penalty Votes first. For the first Minor Violation you get 1 Penalty Vote, for the second you get 3 Penalty Votes and the third gets you Hostkilled. Three Minor Violations of any kind are a Major Violation and will lead to a Hostkill.

If you disobey the rules above that are resulting with you being Hostkilled and/or banned from future games, you will get registered in the Hall of Shame.

• One Major Violation bans you from the upcoming game.
• A second Major Violation of the same kind will ban you from the next three games.
• A third Major Violation and you are out from all upcoming games.

No amnesty or prescription until further notice.

MH Specific Hosting Regulations

Spoiler

DAY PHASES & VOTINGS

Each active player has to vote during a day phase. Each player has the chance to change his vote once.

A day phase can be ended earlier, if and only if one player has collected more than a half+1 of the second votes ("locked votes") of all players and each player has voted at least once (Absolute Majority Voting).

If by the end of the the regular time of the day phase two or more players have the same amount of votes, the second votes ("locked votes") are decisive. The player with the most locked votes is being lynched.

If one or more players have the same amount of votes and locked votes, each player is getting the possibility to change his vote one more time. The regular day phase is being extended for the means of further discussions.

If the voting result is the same by the end of the extended day phase, both players are being lynched.



NIGHT PHASES & ACTIONS

During the night phase each player that has a role with a night action may send it in to the host via PM.

The player may or may not make use of his action. If the player misses the deadline and does not submit his action within the given time, it is seen as not used action. It is possible, however, to submit it before the start of the night, if the player already knows he has no time to do it later.

The night actions are listed in Priority groups. The higher the priority ranking, the more likely it is that the night action is being executed successfully. First actions to be performed are those from P1, then P2 and ending with P3.

If two night action roles from the same priority group target the same player at night a coin flip will decide which night action is executed first.

Spoiler: NIGHT ACTION PRIORITY GROUPS

1. PRIORITY - "ROLE BLOCKING"

Prostitute, Bar Keeper, Mafia Escort(when blocking).

Special Mechanic: ALCHEMY

"If one wishes to gain something, one must present something of equal value"

This is the main concept of Alchemy... and so it will be in this game. All players will have the power to bend nature sacrificing something on behalf.

You will be able to make Three types of transmutations:

Ground Transmutation: By reconstructing the ground around you, you may shake another player of your choice at will, inmobilizing them for the night with a Priority 2 Block in exchange for the use of your Night Action. <<< Notice this please.
That means you can render a regular killing-recruiting action completely useless. Other Priority 2 actions as saving-investigating will be decided by coinflip.

Price: Doing so will leave you breathless so you will need to stay recovering for the day, that means to not be able to vote (Not-Voter Disease). Of course, you may participate in the Day discussion normally.
After using this move you will not be able to use any alchemy in the following Night aswell.

Life-force Transmutation: By using your very life span, you can raise the extent of your alchemic capabilities, be it to successfully accomplish your goal or to protect yourself from a foe's transmutation effects.
That means you can raise the Priority of your Night Action by one (From Priority 3 to 2, from 1 to 0...), or you can defend yourself from all powers derived from the Alchemy System for that Night.

Price: For making use of such a risky power and putting yourself in danger, diminishing your life force drastically, you will receive 2 votelocks in the following Day Phase for your foolishness. You will also be unable to use any alchemy for the following Night.

Human Transmutation: In a moment of weakness you can resort to cross the greatest taboo and try to reconstruct a fallen comrade.
Of course it wont work, the dead cannot be revived (did you see that Magi =3=), but by opening the Gate of Truth you will gain knowledge and power unbeknownst to you, something that you might never have reached by yourself. In other words, a powerful move or change will happen.

PRICE:

Spoiler

???

"I can't wait to see what you will be offering"

The price will depend on the player, so there's no "truth" for the answer you seek. You will have to try it yourself, but I warn you it wont be cheap... I mean its pretty high, you may regret it the rest of your short life.

You cannot use more than one Alchemy technique at Night.

This mechanic is risky, but thats why there's the possibility to get your hands on something that will let you ignore the Law of Equivalent Exchange.

Thats right, Im talking about Philosopher Stones

What they do:

They will allow the player that possesses one to perform the first two Alchemy Methods without paying any cost.
You can also use it heal the effects of any Price inflicted upon you with inmediate effect.

------o------

How to use:

A player can only get 1 Philosopher Stone in the game.
The Stone can be used twice following the previous paragraph rules, in other words, each stone has two uses. However, performing Human Transmutation will automatically destroy the stone, it will still protect you from the counter-effects as it should.
You can only make use of a Stone in the Night Phase.

------o------

How to obtain:

Simple, you will have to sacrifice players of the opposite allegiance. If you help your team destroy its enemies you will be rewarded.

To create a complete stone will take 5 steps (of 20% each). This counter is individual to each player and secret to them, though they can reveal it to others if they will.
You will fulfill the steps depending on your allegiance:

All Players:

- They will raise their counter by one step when they Votelock a Player in any DayPhase.
- Using Alchemy at Night will result on raising one step aswell.
- Lynching a Non-Townie with a votelock will result in three steps. So look forward to that.

Additionally, Non-Townies can also raise their counter:

- By performing a Kill at Night they will raise one step.
- By Lynching a Townie with their vote they will raise two steps.


If a holder of a Philosopher Stone is killed, the item is destroyed.

New Roles Testing

\/

At least one of the following roles is being tested, that means from just one... to all of them.
​

Spoiler: Super Mason

Super Mason (Secondary Role/Townie)
A townie with a role at the start of the game. When he/she got recruited by the Mason Recruiter, he/she will not lose his/her original role. (e.g. Super Mason Doctor, Super Mason Detective)

Spoiler: Substitute Teacher

Substitute Teacher (Townie)
The Substitute Teacher can only win with third party Mentor/Mentee. He has one guess per day to guess who the Mentor is. If he guesses correctly he joins the Mentor/Mentee group. If the Mentor dies at any point after the Substitute Teacher joined his group, the Substitute Teacher changes his role into Mentor. If both Mentor and Mentee die before he joins them he commits suicide the following night.

Spoiler: Spirit Medium

Spirit Medium (Townie)
The Spirit Medium can target a dead Townie player. He gets to know which players that Townie targeted every Day/Night, in chronological order. But he doesn't find out any action results.

Spoiler: Mafia Apprentice

Mafia Apprentice (Mafia)
At the start of the game, the host presents the Mafia Apprentice with up to three mafia roles of the host's choosing. If the Mafia Apprentice successfully kills twice, he can pick one of those roles to become his primary role for the rest of the game.

Story

Amestris is in a critical situation, a series of murders within the army have been happening in the past two weeks. Latest reports prove that they are being caused by a mysterious association related with Homunculus.

It seems they are taking human sacrifices in order to create Philosopher Stones and expand their life span. The Army has decided to send their best State Alchemists and soldiers to put an end to the disturbance, but this might prove harder than expected. This homunculus group, just like Envy, possess the ability to change shape and blend in the ranks to kill their victims without being noticed.

How will they manage to end this invisible threat? There's something unavoidable though, and its that if they fail, no one will survive...


Day 1 begins

Ends in 24 hours​

 

[Lambu]

Alright, Game starts Now!​

 

[Holt]

Been a while since I played MG. These rules and mechanic though. Chaos in a bit I'm sure

 

[Lawl Po Bia]

holtish-kun /wave

i take it i am the MC?

 

[uberfayt]

First, thx Lambu for hosting the game and for the avis. Speaking of which, hey @Belserion wanna swap avis?

Jk^^ at least Riza's one of my favourites.

 

[Belserion]

From the little I watched of FMA, Roy was one of my favs so this is a nice coincidence

 

[Demonspeed]

Avatar changed! I am going out in a few minutes but I'll be able to follow the discussions from my phone .

 

[Crescent Jinx]

Before reading the opening post....
Before checking my pm....
Before changing my avatar.....

There is one thing that must be done first....

Votelock Vandred

For the Christmas game, too sleepy or lazy to hunt the big post I made back then that explained why.

#priorities

And thanks for the game and the avatars @Lambu, if not for you there would be no game this summer (August doesn’t count).

 

[Seraph]

The Special Mechanic looks intriguing,i'm not quite sure about it yet but if past games are any indicator for how things go then some of us will chew it out throughly for everybody else so i'm looking forward to that.

Thanks to Lambu for hosting,the avatar as well of course! I like mine,since Ling is one of the badasses in FMA and one of my favorites as well. Time to do the Character justice i suppose. I already know that i can go toe to toe with @Demonspeed so that's a start.

Let's have a fun game guys,i'm looking forward to it.

 

[Holt]

This brings back some memories. Bradley was quite badass, roy and ling too

 

[GrySun]

Guten Tag I did always like Alphonse more than Edward, am happy with getting him.

Was looking forward to another MG, been a bit since the last one. Here‘s hoping for some nice fun.

[Asako]

Its is time, finally after so long and look at that, @Takuan having also having an ishbal character, too bad that won't save you form my grudes
Votekill takuan

i must say scar is the perfect character for me this game, happy I got him, both in a quest of revenge

So thanks for the avy @Lambu

 

[GrySun]

I hope that for once Sub Teacher and Spirit Medium( @Vandred @Crescent Jinx ) get tested, and that it‘s not just m apprentice again.

The special system seems interesting for now, but not sure what human transmutation does or has as a price. I‘d guess role changes and other temporary things depending on the player‘s role, like double role use but them losing it afterwards hm.

--- Double Post Merged, Jun 27, 2019, Original Post Date: Jun 27, 2019 ---

These „lemme get rid of my vote“ votes are iffy but eh

 

[Crescent Jinx]

Obligatory 2003 > Brotherhood comment btw.

Well as a child, did all of FMA because it aired on tv and loved it. Brotherhood I only did the first portion of and never finished. So... not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.

I hope that for once Sub Teacher and Spirit Medium( @Vandred @Crescent Jinx ) get tested, and that it‘s not just m apprentice again.

Not sure if my reaction should be this ->

Or this ->

... for the comment...

--- Double Post Merged, Jun 27, 2019, Original Post Date: Jun 27, 2019 ---

So for the life-force one, passives can’t use it? Or is the “or defend” part for passives? Or did I just read it wrong?

It should be this but whatever

Asako doesn‘t strike me as a revenge-driven person and I don‘t recall her ever doing silly day 1 revenge votes.

[Crescent Jinx]

Asako doesn‘t strike me as a revenge-driven person and I don‘t recall her ever doing silly day 1 revenge votes.

Wtf does that make me????

Also @Lambu, did I read the intro right for that question in my previous post?

 

[uberfayt]

For the Christmas game, too sleepy or lazy to hunt the big post I made back then that explained why.

Ahh sweet revenge....but could you still provide a link to that post of yours?

Obligatory 2003 > Brotherhood comment btw.

 

[Vandred]

Everything looks pretty cool, @Lambu, just as expected
I wonder if it is surprising for anyone that pretty much everything in the first post gets my wholehearted seal of approval

Before reading the opening post....
Before checking my pm....
Before changing my avatar.....

There is one thing that must be done first....

Votelock Vandred

For the Christmas game, too sleepy or lazy to hunt the big post I made back then that explained why.

#priorities

I'm not sure if the game lore implies you're suggesting turning me into a human sacrifice so you can essentially feed off my youth and beauty...

You did say you would though, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope that for once Sub Teacher and Spirit Medium( @Vandred @Crescent Jinx ) get tested, and that it‘s not just m apprentice again.

*cough*

Must be starting to lose my youth and beauty... *cough* *cough*

 

[Crescent Jinx]

Ahh sweet revenge....but could you still provide a link to that post of yours?

Here is the first

Someone killed Vandred?! My mood just went from like a 20 to a 90! Nice shot in to whoever did that. You have my Jammin-Lambu level gratitude. Fantasized all day of a Vandred lynch and knew it wasn’t going to happen. Especially after reading wiki “Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix (ジルクニフ・ルーン・ファーロード・エル＝ニクス) is the current Emperor of the Baharuth Empire, also known as the "Bloody Emperor" for purging much of the Nobility after his coronation,” and realized I had been cursed from the start of this game.

Now I don’t have to wait until the end of the game to say..... my next game will start by votelocking Vandred as first post. I believe he did that to Demon . time to return the favor .

--- Double Post Merged, Dec 20, 2018, Original Post Date: Dec 20, 2018 ---

<-Me right now

Here is another

And this is why I plan to votelock Van asap.

He hosted the past two games so couldn’t do it then.
