MAFIA GAME 100

Spoiler: How to Play Mafia Game!

Game instructions

Spoiler

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.

Spoiler

Players will be secretly assigned two roles. One group will play the "Mafia" role; the other group will play the "townspeople" role. The townspeople will not know who other townspeople or Mafia members are. However the Mafia members will know who is a Mafia member and who isn't.

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 discuss through PM’s (which will be sent to the host when it’s over) on who they should kill. They will then send the unlucky person’s name onto to the host. Play will then continue until all of the Mafia have been eliminated, or until the Mafia reaches the same number as the townspeople.

A typical game will start with a minimum of 7 players, 5 Townspeople and 2 Mafia members. The members that will be Mafia and Townspeople will be chosen through a random list generator . Whereby the participating player’s 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! (the numbers are indicative)

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.
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. Day phase will last about 24 hours, or until the host gets a majority on votes for one person (majority = half +1)
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. The Mastermind (Boss) must PM the host telling them their choice for the night's murder and the murderer from his team. They should also pm the PM discussions separately. 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 time for the Night phases are set by the host.

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 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 instand Hostkill, depending on the seriousness of the comment and/or warnings given before. NEW
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 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 pretend being a Daytime Vigilant, 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. NEW
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 Violation of any kind will lead to a hostkill. NEW
If you disobey the roles 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 violation bans you from the upcoming game.
A second violation of the same kind will ban you from the next three game.
A third 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 expanded for the means of further discussions.
If the voting result is the same by the end of the expanded 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.

NIGHT ACTIONS PRIORITY GROUPS

PRIORITY - "ROLE BLOCKING"
(Prostitute, Hypnotist, Mafia Escort, etc.)
PRIORITY - "SAVING & INVESTIGATING" (& more)
(Doctor, Detective, Spy, Sickly Townie, Hider, etc.)
PRIORITY - "KILLING & RECRUITING"
(Mafia Member, Mafia Boss, Third Party, Time Bomb, Insane Doctor, Maison Recruiter, Pirate's Robbing, etc.)

Lore
Some of our players or hosts this time around have been around since the beginning. Others started playing around the time mechanics were introduced. Some are so high tier they've been playing since before I was born. This game is a call back to those simpler days. No special rules or ambiguity. A straight-up battle of wits. We hope it's a welcome distraction from your other activities. Have fun playing with each other, familia.

[Riku]

Yes! I love the open list and the fact that I don't need to once again read all about a myriad of roles I've never encountered in my prime.

Also love the throwback avatars. Good bless archivist @Evil3ye

C grade though. Probably realistic, but still feels bad man

 

[Farfalla]

Legit love the avies, the representation, idea behind them and the fact Germs were dedicated enough to even pick different paper and pin images for every single one of us Quite epic. Liking the game proposal as well, tho wish we had more players for such a milestone, you other people suck u.u
Also, eat it you all U.U being remarked often as a lifeless hag with 70 games at least got me to achieve a high grade score totally game number related but who cares amiright!

 

[GrySun]

This started at an inconvenient hour for me, will play properly tomorrow.

 

[Marmalade]

Hello, let’s make this a 100th game to remember!
Absolutely adore the idea of the avatars, really cute and fun to go down in memory lane like this~

 

[James Rye]

Real small game, still a bit sad about it. But it fits the simpler time theme, I guess. I was surprised at my avatar, like isn't that an actor? Real wild avatar mix at least. XD

Interesting that we get told the roles beforehand. No detective is weird but with no escort to block it kinda makes sense. The pirate kinda acts as a one-time detective though if he hits a mafia. Big if with only three targets though.

Anyway, not much else to analyze, have fun everyone. Happy 100th Mafia game!!!

 

[Riku]

But yeah, I share the sentiments with Gry, it's practically already the 21st for me and I need to get to bed because I have work tomorrow, but I'll try to over compensate tomorrow evening.

 

[digitaldude]

We are voting in a pol?? OH NO OH NO

--- Double Post Merged, Feb 20, 2022, Original Post Date: Feb 20, 2022 ---

There is only 13 players? oh thats sad for game 100, call this game 99.5.

 

[SirSamuel016]

Woke up early to make the start of this before my Uni classes

Mechanic for this looks fun so looking forward to how things turn out; given we can change votes as often as we like I've thrown a vote at @Shad for now, need to get that Pokemon Master Sex game out of my system

I'm D Rank though? D:

 

[Erinyes]

Ooh my 1st Mg avy
Thxs @Copy Panda @Evil3ye @desin24 for hosting the legendary 100 , love the avs, really nice idea !


Oh wait I'm rank A

 

[Demonspeed]

No Det and one Doc? Interesting.

Yeah, I expected we would go wild and above 30 players, but eh. This is fine as well. Like wow, I just noticed that GrySun started playing Mafia after me! I was so sure he started before me. Same with Erinyes, she started one game earlier than me but somehow I was so sure she started playing after my debut. XD

 

[Shad]

Avies and simple game sounds awesome, You have no idea how happy seeing I will get a second chance at Shadis xD
My hint is that I'm a mere bystander xD

The mafia roles aren't revealed right? Mafia Member is not a role according to the rule book meaning they could have escort.

What do you think?

What do you think?

I remember Mafia Members to be a thing. Though it might be an old and outdated one. See here:
Unskilled Mafia (Mafia) The Unskilled Mafia Member, is like a normal Member, but has only a 50% chance to succeed in killing his victim. The Unskilled Mafia doesn't know he is unskilled, nor do his team mates, and thinks he is a regular Mafia Member. (GAME 41)

The part of "thinks he is a regular Mafia Member" means that once we had Mafia Member as a simple Mafia role. Also this means that either all the three mafias are unskilled thinking they are regular MMs or some of them are regular MMs though there is no such role in the rulebook as you rightly pointed out. This could be a question for our hosts, ya know?

@Copy Panda Are regular Mafia Members an actual role for this game despite not being in the rule book or did you screw the Mafia over by giving them 3 50% kill chance roles? Not that I complain as that might increase the days this game might continue if night kills have an extra fail chance besides a doc stopping their kill. XD
I'd rather had a longer 100th match than a really short one.

 

[Farfalla]

Hm, funny that it ain't written in the rules but there's a plain mafia member role in MG, it has been in games multiple times.
In a 13 people game, 3 plain mafias seem a bit 'weak' tho (with 14 players, they'd have 4 members) so we should expect 'surprises'. They mentioned that secondary roles are hidden, so that could be another indication. On the other hand, town has mostly vanilla members, but still numbers wise I'd be expecting someone to turn sides cause that's what that rule is about, imo following weird interactions or attention seeking gestures could be worthy and I'm saying this from the start to maybe cause some anxiety on said person(s) if that's the case. If we ignore the secondary roles mention tho, then a vanilla being recruitable wouldn't fit what I just mentioned, so hopefully behavior shifts later on would be noticeable. But uh... don't expect those 3 hosts to add some "spice" that is easy to narrow down tho... But yeah, sharing my thoughts on the setup so far.

 

[Marmalade]

Yeah agreed, knowing the hosts things might not be as it seems. Could very well be a bit more complicated than what it looks like at first glance. It's the 100th game after all.
That said, I agree with that 'mafia member' has been a role in previous games - or perhaps I'm just remembering it incorrectly. Going to check older games just in case.

Inb4 mafia is just their 3 sorry plain arses but we have 2 town lovers huh~

 

[Shad]

@Copy Panda sorry to disturb you but:

Does Mafia Member means vanilla mafia (equivalent of townie) or it is just a generic term that refers to any mafia member like it is used in the rules thread?

~~~~~~

I hate lovers and I'm not good at detecting them, onegai take care of it xD

Literally it a panda game, of course there is some crazy somewhere xD

~~~~~~
I'm thinking traitor is the most likely because of the 3 vs 10.

 

[Lambu]

Happy 100th Game everyone!

I like how straightforward this is, roles are there so theres no room for set up interpretation unless it goes crazy with the secondaries.

From the looks of it we have at least one traitor among us, which is in a sense like having another plain scum going around for the lack of dets.

 

[Shad]

I'm not complaining just want to point out that this new pole doesn't allow us to see who changed their vote and when, meaning people can in some cases switch votes and get away with it.
