Smurf Mini Mafia
+ Show Spoiler [Important Posts] +
Introduction:
Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of the game is to lynch or kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. It's much like a game of poker because mafia members are also part of the town during the day and may manipulate the vote to their liking. If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal the townspeople, they win. The town's goal is to lynch all the members of the mafia.
The game is typically very active, so the thread will get big quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game. If you do not have the time or patience to read the whole thread, do not play. I will not compensate for ignorance.
Rules:
Cheating:
Cheating includes (but is not limited to):
1. Posting after death. You may have one polite goodbye post, but it may not contain any potentially game-changing information.
2. Ruining the game by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town.
3. Logging on to someone else's account to get their role or looking over someone's shoulder to get their role.
4. Comparing role PM times to determine roles.
5. Posting screenshots of your inbox.
6. Posting or sharing any PM you receive from a host.
7. Getting yourself modkilled to help your team. Your non-majority-decided death may not be used as a bargaining chip.
8. Signing up more than once using smurf accounts.
9. Betting items outside of the game in exchange for in-game benefits.
10. Sharing accounts with other players. Only you may post on your account.
11. Claiming your main identity
12. Speculating about other people's main identity.
Cheating is not tolerated here. The punishment will be severe.
Posting:
Mod Font:
This is mod font. It is reserved for moderators. Please do not use it.
Question Font:
This is question font. Use it to ask the moderators questions about the rules. Please do us a favor and read the rules before you ask anything.
Activity:
You must post in this thread once per day/night cycle and vote every day while you are alive. If you fail to do so, you will be modkilled.
Smurfs:

Spam:
Spam is not tolerated, nor is any off-topic material. Do not discuss Proleague here. Do not talk about Starcraft II here. Play Mafia here.
Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be modkilled. This is the one part of the site where it is okay to be double posting, even triple-posting. While I ask for everybody to post as concisely as possible, post again if you have to edit anything.
Inappropriate posts:
If you want to post something insulting or inappropriate and know the TL mods would have a problem with it elsewhere, don't post it here. If you do, a host will warn you or modkill you and request that you be banned from future games. The hosts have the final say on what is inappropriate. If you do not like how someone is talking to you, please PM Me before involving the TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally, after the game has ended. I have zero tolerance for flaming.
Reporting posts:
The report button is a nice feature for regular TL, but not for this forum. We prefer to deal with things in house if possible to avoid confusion among the TL staff. If you have a problem with how someone is posting, talk to me. Please do not use your report button for anything during the game, PM me instead
Ban discussions:
Please wait until this game is over to talk about modkills and bans resulting from this game.
Out of game discussion
Because you don't know who's playing in this game, do not, at any time discuss this game with anyone, in private or public.
Play to win.
This means you play your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. However, this does not mean that you should try to win by being a jerk to the other players so they all want to quit playing.
This also means that you cannot leave the game without a good reason without a ban. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM your host if you need to leave the game.
You have been warned.
Out of thread communication:
It is common for mafia (and town circles if PMs are allowed) to use a medium outside of TL such as QuickTopics or IRC to communicate during the game. Please be mindful that other players may be more tech savvy than you and they may attempt impersonate members of your team or attempt to infiltrate your chat. You use these media at your own risk.
Voting rules:
1. Voting is done in this thread. Please keep votes here, and only vote here. Do not PM me your vote.
2. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote: GMarshal. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update vote counts whenever I get the chance.
3. No conditional voting.
4. You may vote for yourself. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game.
5. This game uses Extended Majority Lynch. That is, at the deadline the player with a majority of votes is lynched (majority = 1/2 the remaining players, rounded down + 1), if no one has a majority then no lynch will take place.
6. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain. You MAY vote for a no lynch by posting ##Vote: No Lynch
Signups:
This game is open to anyone, but do NOT post in this thread to /in. PM me instead. I will be picking and choosing, depending on a lot of factors, if you especially want to be in, feel free to appeal to me.
Game-specific rules:
Modkills:
This game follows the TL Mafia Ban List. If you are modkilled, your punishment will go beyond being eliminated from this game. Please refer to it for questions about your punishment. If you want to use this game to sit out your ban, please PM Flamewheel or post in the Ban List.
Replacements
This game uses replacements. Replacements will be made in the game until I run out/decide I don't need them anymore. If a player is modkilled during the designated time, then they will be replaced by a player on the replacement list. The replacement player will play under the same smurf.
Clues:
There are NO clues.
PMs
PMs are NOT allowed in this game.
Time Cycle:
This game will follow a 24 hour night/48 hour day cycle. In case I am not able to post around deadline, any votes after the 48 hour mark will not count and the game will be put on halt until the night post is up. Currently the deadline is 02:00 GMT (+00:00), but that is subject to change. Actions/votes will be accepted up to and including the posted time, but not after. Remember, only votes up to the deadline will be counted, that is a vote at 01:59 GMT (+00:00) will be counted, one at 02:00 GMT (+00:00) will not

Role List
Kalypso. A frozen, barren wasteland of a planet, punctuated by a single advanced warning station, founded during the last days of the Derridian Wars, it is currently manned by 12 stout individuals, a mix of scientists, soldiers and technicians, they strive to keep the sensors running in case a sneak attack threatens the lush colonies just one hyperjump away. Forces are moving however, forces that wish to shut down Observation Post 1341, the only remaining knot in an otherwise flawless plan to bring about the ruin of the empire of man. Will the men and women of Observation Post Kalypso be able to spot the intruders in their midst, or will the fail and condemn millions to burning in a nuclear pyre? Only time will tell.
This is a semi-open setup, that is, you will know what roles can be present, but not the exact role counts.
Facility Staff
Facility Staff (Town) Win Condition: The Facility Staff win when there are no threats remaining to the facilities, that is all infiltrators (Mafia) are dead.
Facility Technician/Scientist/Soldier (Vanilla Townie)
You are a regularly tasked civilian or soldier assigned to this facility. This is usually considered a dead end job, while the pay is pretty good, there is next to nowhere to spend it, and the vast, undermanned facility along with the solitude of the frozen tundra have driven many insane. Thankfully tasking to Kalypso never last more than a year. Of course all that goes out the window now that the crisis protocols have been enacted. You have no special powers, other than the fact that the protocols give every member of the base a single vote to cast in determining who is to be ejected each day.
Marine Guard (Medic)
A veteran of the Third Derridian War, you look imposing, especially with that rack of medals across your chest, and the standard issue LK-234 Piercing Rifle by your side. Its a shame that due to security protocols there isn't any ammunition in the entire base. Still you can pull off a mean bluff, by standing by someone's door at night you can scare away the first would be assassin that targets them, although a determined attacker will succeed in killing your target. Of course do to the fact that your weapon is unloaded you aren't actually capable of protecting yourself, so if someone targets you, all you can do is pray. You may protect one person per night from the first kp to target them. Neither you nor the player you save will be informed if any kp are deflected. You may not target yourself
Medical Technician (Alignment Cop)
You are a highly trained specialist and can use the incredibly advanced med bay to test someone's DNA each night for traces of Derridian Corruption. No one here *should* have been exposed to the corruption, so that should make anyone infected an Infiltrator. Of course no one know's you're trained in this stuff, its not exactly standard equipment or procedure, so best keep your head down to avoid being murdered. You may check a player each night and find if they are Corrupted or Not Corrupted. You are guaranteed to be sane, but beware of things that may interfere with your results.
Engineer (Vigilante)
Being tasked here is not the most thrilling task for an Engineer, since hardly anything ever goes wrong, and all the maintenance work is handled by technicians. This left you with a fair bit of free time, which you used to tinker. Now, most of what you assembled was kind of... useless, sure the model hovercraft that flies itself *looks* cool, but in this crisis its not exactly a godsend. Fortunately one of your machinations did yield something interesting, a single use device you can use to lethal effect. Once per game, at night, you may turn that device on a player, hitting them with 1 kp. The device is homemade and will break after use so you only have one shot. Your shot will not be refunded for any reason, except if you are role-blocked.
Mechanically Augmented(Veteran)
In plain terms, you are a cyborg. As a result of some accident or perhaps personal desire, whole limbs and parts of your body have been replaced with mechanical parts. This makes you incredibly resilient. Your augments mean that things that would fell a regular man, will only hurt. They will hurt quite a bit, but it beats being dead. The beating the augments will take trying to save you will render them pretty useless however, so you are only safe from the first KP aimed at you. If you lose this protection you will likely notice, as its kind of hard to miss non-functioning limbs. If you are roleblocked your augments shut down for the night, removing the protection and making you as vulnerable as anyone else.
Security Officer (Jailkeeper)
You are in charge of the security computer! Whether or not you were supposed to have access to it is irrelevant, what matters is that you can use this computer to seal someone in their room each night, the system is malfunctioning horribly however, so you may only lock up one person at the time. This will keep your target safely protected, but unable to perform any actions. You stop the first KP aimed at your target, as well as role-blocking them. Your targets will know they were roleblocked, but neither of you will be notified of a successful save. Factional KP cannot be roleblocked. You may not target yourself.
Additional Rules: Corruption Virus: Unbeknownst to anyone on the base,a strand of the deadly virus used during the bio-bombing of Earth, mutated and has infected some parts of the general population, including, possibly, people aboard this very base. The virus is harmless, but it shows up to DNA scans as Derridian Corruption, leading Medical Technicians to conclude that the person is Corrupted
Derridian Forces
Derridian Forces (Mafia) Wincondition - The Derridian Forces win when they outnumber the Facility Staff, or nothing can stop that from happening.
Derridian Powers -All Derridian Forces may communicate with each other and choose who to kill every night. They also communally have one kp. They also have the Delay power communally. That is, any night, they may choose to withhold their kill, and instead have 2 kp the following night. For example, they may choose to not kill anyone night 1, and instead have two kp night 2, they must inform the host if they choose to use this power, and it cannot be used consecutively (e.g if you use it night 1, you may not use it night 2). All mafia players may vote normally.
Derridian Infiltrator (Mafia Goon)
You are mostly human, a vat grown creation, with a few... enhancements and growth protocols, as well as the necessary surgery and false accreditation to either replace a member of the Staff or become one in your own right. Now, finally after years of careful preparation is the time to strike. Use the panic you've seeded carefully and make sure that Observation Post 1341 may never broadcast again. Sithil' Ner Edran!
Derridian Poisoner (Mafia Roleblocker)
You are a part human, part Derridian, part spider, and entirely abomination. Crafted in the Siluth Poison World and surgically altered to appear human, you've been dropped into the base, where you quickly murdered someone and assumed their identity. You are one step above an Infiltrator in your versatility though, you can do all they can, and also abuse your poison gland to neutralize someone every night. Whomever you poison will fall into a deep stupor roleblocking them and keeping them from performing any actions. Your target will be notified that he was roleblocked.
Derridian Psion (Mafia Rolecop)
Another creation the result of incredible Derridian Biotech, you appear, for all but the most detailed gene scans to be a normal human. You are hardly that. Created in an incubator by process too painful and sickening to describe, you were created as you are now, fully grown and with a secret, hidden talent. Trained by the Derridian intelligence core your Psi skills were trained, to the point where now you can sound an entire human's brain with only a few hours of effort. On top of what Derrifian Infiltrator's can do, you can also sound the mind of one player each night, discovering their role.
Derridian Geneweaver Tendril (Mafia Framer)
If this plan is an orchestra, then you are the director. A Geneweaver is bred, and feeds on the memories of his predecessors, making it an almost irreplaceable part of the Derridian growth process. Where humans require tools and machinery, you use only your mind and body, changing the structure and form of the building blocks that make every living thing, bending them by sheer will and changing them to your whim. A tendril is simply a small part of your will, encased in a body (in this case a human body) and sent to do your bidding. This tendril in particular is far from you, meaning its power is quite limited. It can, however, do everything an infiltrator can, as well as altering the corruption strands in one person every nigh reversing what anyone investigating would discover if they were to check them that night. (So someone who was Corrupted would yield a result of Not Corrupted to a medical technician) You may not target yourself. The process is highly hazardous so you may not target the same player on consecutive nights.
Traitorous Staff (Mafia Godfather/Strongarm)
You are a disgruntled human who has turned to the Derridians, either as part of some obscene cult that worships their power over biology, or simply as someone seeking the rewards that come of being on the right side at the right time. You can do everything that infiltrators can, but have the advantage of being fully human, completely fooling Medical Technician's into thinking you are Not Corrupted. You also got a nice little weapon implanted into your arm, a deadly biophage that can eat through anything and anyone, using it exposes your DNA to Corruption, meaning you no longer fool Medical Technicians (including the night you choose to use it), but if you carry out the kill the night you use the biophage the KP counts as 2 for the purpose of defeating protection.

This is a smurf game, which means I'm taking meta out of the equation and seeing what happens. There will be absolutely NO discussion of what the true identity of the players playing the game are. I will warn once if this happens, and after that I will summarily mod-kill.
If you accidentally post on your main, edit it out and keep playing. I highly suggest you have a second browser open with your smurf saved on it to avoid errors. Do not, whatever happens, share your smurf, or claim any identity, other than the smurf you own. That means if I'm smurfing under the name Solstice, I can't claim to be GMarshal, Ver, or anyone other that Solstice.
You have been warned
I am aware that this appears multiple times in the first four posts, it is *that* important.
I will be picking and choosing who gets in based on who PMs me to sign up, with preference given to active players, or players I think will yield a good game.

Read this section
A few GMarshal and game specific tidbits
1.) This is a smurf game, which means I'm taking meta out of the equation and seeing what happens. There will be absolutely NO discussion of what the true identity of the players playing the game are. I will warn once if this happens, and after that I will summarily mod-kill. If you accidentally post on your main, edit it out and keep playing. I highly suggest you have a second browser open with your smurf saved on it to avoid errors. Do not, whatever happens, share your smurf, or claim any identity, other than the smurf you own. That means if I'm smurfing under the name Solstice, I can't claim to be GMarshal, Ver, or anyone other that Solstice. You have been warned
2.) Play nice. I expect you all to behave like Gentlemen (or Ladies, as the case may be). I will not hesitate to modkill or outright ban you for excessive behavior, this includes abusive language and personal attacks. I don't mind you saying "fuck" every once in a while, I don't want to see "FUCKING DIPISHIT, FUCK MAFIA FUCKING SPAM FUCK FUCK FUCK DICKNIPPLES". I'm tired of that kind of shit. Standard tl behavior rules. No personal attacks. The occasional "you idiot T.T" or such post (especially if warranted) is ok, no more than that though.
3.) Don't spam. This isn't IRC, try to consolidate your posts, its horrible when pages 20-80 are all one line posts between two players yelling at each other
4.) Activity. Yes, the guideline is one post per cycle and a vote, but I'll be disappointed if that is the most you do. I do keep track of activity levels, so if you are really inactive I'll make sure you don't get invited to any of my future invitationals, or get preference in signups. Too inactive and I might blacklist you altogether.
5.) Memes and Gifs. Zero tolerance pretty much, as in elsewhere on tl, I will not allow them. Pictures that are not memes are generally ok. No memes (u mad?) or stupid gifs or meme based image macros. Its stupid and belongs on 4chan.
6.) Every single role has custom fluff, it is perfectly ok to claim this fluff, but beware, the mafia has received safe claims , and a total of three additional safe claims for other roles of their choice. All they have to do is PM me their selections. Mafia team, try asking me with lots of time, rather than when the town wants you to claim within 3 minutes or be lynched, as I'm not always on, and writing role fluff takes me a little while.
7.) You may claim your role in full if you so desire, with all the attached fluff, and there will be no consequences, you do not have to paraphrase it. You may not include the time when you received it however.
8.) Have fun. This is a game, the point is to enjoy yourself, so by all means, roleplay to your hearts content, lynch mafia, kill townies, chat, enjoy yourselves there is no point in stressing out over a game.
9.) I'm serious about not speculating about who each smurf is, I will modkill for it. I went to the trouble of making the accounts myself to avoid giveaway names, do me the favor of respecting the ground rule of this game. I shouldn't have to say this, but don't even attempt to impersonate another smurf or hack another tl account.

Day 1
Its not every day one gets to see the head of a station weep openly. Then again, its not every day the head of a station is forced to open the sealed orders that are only to be opened in case of dire emergency. Its funny, how the end of an era, comes, stealthily, like an alien stalker. One day, everything is fine, the next the comms array is in ruins, a scan shows aliens in the base, and the only hope of transmitting the fact that an alien fleet is crawling towards civilized space is to kill those aliens so that the secondary comms array can be brought online. For that, TheFerryman wept. Unsealing the orders he read solemnly. "In case of Derridian infiltration, lockdown and judgment protocols are enacted. Everyone receives one vote, chain of command is dissolved for the duration..." he begun, reading, his face a mask, only the tears rolling down the sides of his face betraying the magnitude of the situation. "...the director is to hold the self destruct option at the ready, and enact it in case of necessity" he finished, reaching for something in his pocket. He never got to it, as a sudden blast of green acid suddenly burst from his chest, as he convulsed, acid eating at his flesh as the congregated and shocked crowd looked on, their reactions, mixed, but all far too late to save TheFerryman from death.
TheFerryman the Facility Director has been murdered in cold blood.
It is now day 1! This is an EXTENDED day, it will end in roughly 69 hours, at Saturday, Jun 01 2:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
If you don't have your role PM, message me or oats. If you pmed me before the game started PM me again please ^_^
Read the entirety of the OP if you have not.
