Game Instructions

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.

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, 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!

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

Game Phases

The game will be split up into two phases: Day and Night.

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 caps/coloured or 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 PM's with each other/other alternative communication channels approved by the host, such as piratepad.

At the beginning of the game the Mafia members will be informed of the other members. 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.

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

MH Specific Game Rules

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 that it is 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. You are not allowed to help or influence others in any way if you are dead, including liking posts in the game thread or discussing game content in the Discussion thread. You can, however, lurk the game thread. If you post or influence the game 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 other mafia through pms/piratepad). 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. Violator 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, neither fake host PMs. If you do, you will be hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
You are not allowed to do a Daytime-specific command if you don't have a role that can use that command. If you do, you will be hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
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 post without the Host's approval. If you do, you may get a Minor Violation punishment or 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 host killed 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

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.

1. PRIORITY - "ROLE BLOCKING"

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

2. PRIORITY - "SAVING & INVESTIGATING" (& more)

Detective(all sanities), Investigator, Spy(and paranoid), Mortician, Spirit Medium, Doctor(all sanities, Insane Doctor only when protecting), Bodyguard, Hider, Sickly Townie, Bomb Defusing Townie, Apprentice(both sanities), Mafia Detective(when investigating), Bomb Defuser(when defusing), Santa Claus, Shapeshifter, Unlimited Voter Disease, Not Voter Disease.

3. PRIORITY - "KILLING & RECRUITING"

It was supposed to be a normal late night for Leonardo Da Vinci.

Sitting inside her workshop full of magical items and books, she was alone swallowed deep in thought. She was pondering about her next move, a bit frustrated at the lack of progress. Lately, she has been bombarded with nothing but work as Chaldea prepares for meeting with King Solomon, though she knows deep inside that a genius like her will be able to do such tasks. Then, when she’s done and everyone safe, she might even do something that makes her smile.

As she stood up however, she suddenly heard a noise.
It was the subtle sound of a servant entering the room. Instantly on guard....

... but it was already too late...

Someone killed your leader

Da Vinci murdered by one of you.

Copy Panda · Apr 12, 2020

Crescent Jinx · Apr 12, 2020

Moriarty was waiting for me outside Da Vinci’s workshop. Normally, a person would give a clue from their posture of what to expect, but the professor was a different breed. I couldn’t get a clear read from him of what lay beyond the door. The two of us are a study in contrasts - one devoted to truth and the other to lies.

“You’re late.” He said with a matter-of-fact tone.

“You’re early.” I replied, speculating whether he was connected to the incident. Fighting back a yawn, I asked “What do we have here?” He pushed the door open for me.

If the body had been human, the stench of rot would have been overpowering. Since the victim was a servant, those normal signs of death were hidden except for the visual carnage. Da Vinci lay sprawled on her back on the floor beside her desk. Blood pooled around her. A heavy wound through her stern was the most likely cause of her demise. Most likely a blow from another servant. Nothing in the room seemed to be disturbed from my memory of how it looked yesterday. The chair wasn’t even overturned, despite her odd position next to it. Almost like she died as soon as she stood from sitting. She didn’t put up a defense. That didn’t rule out the possibility of the scene being staged. Had the attacker or attackers had cleaned up after the incident?

“She knew her attacker. The attacker then surprised her, leaving no time for thought since she’s a pretty quick read on situations.”

“No doubt a servant.”

“Elementary my dear Moriarty.”

“Holmes, never say those words to me again.”

I smiled, wanting to ruffle his feathers more. Passing on the moment, “It will be hard to find a clue here. Although it seems less like a Berserker would do something like this. There are a couple of class servants who would be perfect for a kill like this, but the majority of the servants here and their masters here will have to be suspected. Nobody is safe.”

“Motives aside, the kill isn’t a singularity. Leonardo was not our only victim in the night. It seems that people were very busy last night.”

Moriarty took his leave, and I followed. Down the hall we traveled. Unsurprisingly, the second murder was much more brutal.

Arjuna seemed to have put up a fight before he died. The difference in attack also made it obvious that the killers were not the same person as the first. It wasn’t not obvious if the second one was planned or not. Were the two murders connected?

Second victim

“Ishtar.” I mentally called. She appeared with an irritated shrug. “What do you want?”

“Lockdown Chaldea, nobody in or out until this mystery is solved. The site is officially shutdown as ordered by Sherlock, Interim Head of Chaldea.”

“Why me????? omo...”

“Because you’re a goddess and I doubt you had anything to do with this.”

“That sounds like an insult.”

“You can shoot the aggressive ones if they causes a fuss.”

“Really?? Ok!” She vanished in a chaotic cloud of excitement.

!!!!

Laughing at how easy that was, I turned to the man beside me.“Suppose it’s time to interview suspects.”

“We will start with Abigail.”

“Williams? She’s not usually here. I was more thinking you.” I yawned again. Coffee was brewing somewhere. The search for it was almost as important as searching for the suspect.

Moriarty’s smug grin appeared right before he explained, “You can interrogare me, but Abigail appeared last night. Her sudden appearance does beg questioning. Why would a foreigner appear around the time this assassination happens?”

“It could all be a coincidence.”

“You don’t believe in coincidence, stating that is just unreasonable at this point.”

“True.” I said with smile of my own.

“I had Gozen restrain her while we summoned you.”

“That was very noble of you to make that decision.”

“Doing my part in this case to help my fellow servants.”

“And we both know about that nice streak of yours. Now riddle me this, James. How did you know about the murders so quickly? Depending on your answer determines my belief in your innocence. And shall we head toward the cafeteria? I need some stimulant so early in the morning.”

“That’s shameful behavior, Holmes. As a servant, you have no need of food, alcohol, or caffeinated beverages. You should be a barkeeper. As for whether I should be a suspect. Events were leading up to this. Surprised you have not seen them. And it’s only the beginning. I suspect things will get worse before it gets better.”

“Why don’t you start from the beginning then?”

So it starts in EU friendly hours, interesting.

Didn‘t get the chance yet to read all that plot text, will get to it at some point.

Door‘s on the left, leave your role and teammates at the exit :heh

Lady pompom said:
Thanks guys for the game!

Will drop to check more later.

They always want to kill him fast

About the killing parties, I assume it’s possible there are 2 mafias at least and a 3rd party (maybe even insane doc or so for town, to have as many kills as possible), or in another scenario, we have bombs, third parties (I wouldn’t be surprised with either mentor or at least 2 third parties), townie killing roles, and 2 mafias. All for the maximum chaos and kill I

Btw, Votekill Vandred, welcome back, long lost rival.

Raven said:
Vote kill James Rye

Gajeel said:
votekill Seraph
come out, come out, wherever you are

Seraph said:
Votekill Takuan

James Rye said:
votekill Zasz

Takuan said:
You're breaking my heart

But with my incredibly fucked up sleep schedule due to quarantine, i probably won't even be here for the end of the phase... So much for me wanting to participate more.
I'll follow you with a random vote. Nothing personal my dude

Votekill Seraph

Brandish said:
Might as well feed into Seraph's cringe.

Votekill Seraph

goodboy_lawlett said:
Vote kill grysun <3

gnut said:
votekill Gry

Erinyes said:
Votekill James rye -> nothing particular, just that i promised i ll cast my 1st vote on him next game (payback from last game no offense )

shinobi said:
Votekill bel

Zasz said:
Votekill law because traps are trash

GrySun said:
!votekill James Rye

Lambu said:
Votekill Beno

It was the way of speaking tho, the point on Seraph isn't wrong actually. The lynch train's foundation feels weird on itself, the real reasons were brought later.

In the case I was Mason Recruiter... yes I suppose

Demonspeed said:
Vote kill Juviii for now.

Said nothing about herself but seems to be following the game very closely. She even told Erin that Lambu had hinted.

Seraph said:
Votelock Beno

Has been playing the exact same way as last game,flipped scum at the time,seems confident that he might get his way again this game.

Farfalla said:
I'm gonna vote Bel for now. She's been online for a while, like 20 min'ish and is prolly trying to catch up but I gotta drive and work soon (office shit to solve today) and wanna leave my vote alrdy, won't wait anymore. Y'day she followed my argument with Seraph and left it like that and also initially replied to me and Lambu but also dropped it after a moment, dunno if she's busy or somewhat hiding.

Jesus, like Satan lmao.

MarmaladeSky said:
So I am not sure how to feel about Seraph’s claim, however I am not sure if lynching him right away is the best choice.

Votekill Brandish random vote, might change later - there is still a bit of time after all

SirSamuel016 said:
Vote Kill Seraph. Not locking it in just yet and will stew over it more before the day phase ends so I may change that, but that's what I'm thinking at the moment.

BD_Beno said:
Done backreading,

Belserion talking about the story does remind me of me talking about the gauntlet, but there was that post from Jinx about the answer. Playing with her last game, I saw her do much better as mafia, so trusting her for now, but something to monitor.

Seraph's reasoning for lurking was bizarre. I don't buy him watching people's behavior day 1, all I know he could used that time to come up with that response. Will be keeping any eye.

I see James has 3 votes. Based on last game, is his behavior really different? From what I learned about him, he does seem active in coming up with theories and talking about new roles a lot.

Also a lot of talk of not much revealing, which includes myself. There's stuff about interview games, someone speaking Shakespeare, and banter. For now, all I'll say is I have a good role.

For now, Votekill DD

Juviii said:
Votekill Gajeel

Belserion said:
Votekill MarmaladeSky. Random vote.

Asako said:
Votekill beno
just in case I forget the timer... here but not really here...

goodboy_lawlett said:
Ok i cant resist to stab my ex mafia boss sorry gry

Votelock Beno

Lambu said:
Votelock Belserion

Gryffindor said:
Don’t have time to finish reading.

Votekill Demonspeed

For stealing my votekill.

Bruh, only jealous people would do something like that.

SirSamuel016 said:
Lock my vote in for Seraph (Votelock Seraph). Can deal with the lurkers next.

James Rye said:
5 minutes left. Ah what the heck! Votekill Gajeel!

Not by me. But I also didn't pay much attention until SirSamuel asked for amount of posts.

Vandred said:
Okay, this was a lot to catch up to in the last 40 minutes, so I'll cut to the chase.

1) In a 29-player game, there are certainly better ways to deal with the Seraph situation than lynching him D1.
2) Technically, my role may fall into that category... though it would hardly be its best use.
3) If I had to vote purely based on gut feeling, then Marmy or Brandy or Belsy. So votekill MarmaladeSky while I still can.

Bel or Beno? Hm..

Well... I get it, I don't want to live in a world without Arju in it, too... But he'd want us to carry on :emocat

Until D3 or so, at least.

--- Double Post Merged, Apr 12, 2020, Original Post Date: Apr 12, 2020 ---

Not completely sure on one thing; are the two spicy murders connected to a game mechanic or simply story flavour?

Farfalla · Apr 12, 2020

Oh so no special mechanics? Interesting.

And well I guess now maybe I'll join the top 10 game with this theme.

--- Double Post Merged, Apr 12, 2020, Original Post Date: Apr 12, 2020 ---

Only now I noticed Pandu isn't playing :/

James Rye · Apr 12, 2020

Well, here I am. No special mechanics? And here I thought we would really look after one culprit like getting hints by killing mafia or so with the townie's role to find the murderer and the mafia role to hide the murderer.

Idk I got the idea from the discussion thread that there would be some mild mechanic, maybe it's something we'll find out later and that's it.

GrySun · Apr 12, 2020

So if there is a hint to who killed the player it‘d either be in the text or related to the Arjuna character. So far didn‘t see anything special in the text apart from the questionable emojis..
