Quarterly Mafia Game 1 - Part 2
Host: Grackaroni
Co-Host: Rels
Questions may be sent to either of us. Night actions should be sent to all hosts!
Introduction:
Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. At the start of the game each player is randomly assigned a role. The majority of players become members of the town, but a few players will be transformed into the game's secret villains: the mafia. After receiving their roles, the players discuss amongst themselves and work to uncover the deceivers within their ranks. In the day players vote on somebody to lynch, eliminating them from the game. During night the mafia faction selects in secret a member of the town to kill.
The objective of the game is to lynch or kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal the townspeople, they win.
The game is typically very active, so the thread may grow large quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game. This game can involve hours of reading and typically spans 2 weeks. If you do not have the time or patience to read the whole thread, do not play.

Posting:
Host Color:
The color blue is reserved for the hosts of the game to make our posts easy to notice. Please do not use it.
Questions:
The color green is reserved for questions by players for the hosts during pre-game.
Once the game begins, please PM the hosts with any questions.
Smurfs:
Smurfs must PM the host because TL doesn't allow multiple accounts otherwise. If the host is unaware of smurfs, you (and/or your smurf) can be banned for having multiple accounts
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. "Editing" includes indirect editing like linking an image, then editing the image. Editing your profile or signature are allowed, but if you edit them for any game-related reasons (ie, breadcrumbing, sending messages, etc) this will be considered out-of-thread posting and will be punished.
Inappropriate posts and use of the report post link:
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 a host, or Blazinghand before involving the TL moderation staff or using the report post link. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.
Ban discussions:
Please wait until this game is over to talk about modkills and bans resulting from this game.
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.
Out of thread communication:
Players for this game will be invited to a discord server. Only players with mafia/mason roles may have out of game discussions. Players who have not explicitly been given permission to communicate outside the thread are not allowed to do so.
Voting rules: - Voting is done in a separate voting thread that will be posted at the start of the game. Do not PM your vote to the hosts, it will not be counted.
- Please vote in the following format: ##Vote Palmar.
- No conditional voting.
- You may vote for yourself.
- This game uses plurality voting, so whoever has the most votes at the end of the day is lynched. There is no minimum number of votes required to lynch someone. If there is a tie for most votes, whoever most recently had more votes than the other is the person who is up for the lynch.
- The person who is up for the lynch is whoever has the most votes. Bringing another player up to that number of votes doesn't put him up for the lynch; s/he has to have the most votes.
- Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain.
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, post in the Ban List.
Modkills will be used at the host's discretion.
Replacements:
If you are unable to continue playing for a legitimate reason please PM the host. During the first two cycles a replacement will be subbed in if available.
Clues:
The role PMs and day/night posts are purely flavor text. There are no clues.
PMs:
PMs and out of thread communication are not allowed in this game, unless your role explicitly allows them.
Activity:
You are expected to keep up with the thread and participate in discussion. If for some reason you anticipate that you will not be available for a period longer than 48 hours, please notify a host ahead of time. Activity modkills will be handled at the host's discretion.
Time Cycle:
This game will follow a 48 hour day/24 hour night cycle. Upon reaching the deadline, the game will be put on hold until the next day or night post is posted. Any votes or night actions timestamped up to and including 9:59 will count; those at or after 10:00 will not.
The deadline for each cycle will be 10:00 EDT.
Credits:
Thanks to cohosts, coaches and players.
Thanks to every active member of the TL mafia community.

Setup
This is a semi open setup. What that means is that all possible roles are known, but the exact setup is not known. With 13 players there will be 10 town and 3 mafia. Any of these roles could potentially be included in the game:
Vanilla Town
Unaware Miller (receives a VT role PM, appears as scum when checked by parity cop)
Veteran (you have 1 bulletproof vest. If shot at night your vest will break but you will survive. You will die if shot at night a second time. If roleblocked your vest doesn't protect you. You will not be notified if you are shot.)
Parity Cop (Each night you may choose a player to check their alignment. The second time that you obtain a successful check and each subsequent time you will be informed whether the last 2 players you checked were of 'different' or 'same' alignment. You cannot check yourself.
Doctor (Each night you can protect one person from 1 KP. You cannot target yourself. You will not be notified if you make a save.)
Jailkeeper (Each night you may roleblock and protect one person from 1 KP. You cannot target yourself)
Tracker (Each night you may choose 1 player to track. If they use a night action you will be informed who they targeted.)
Vigilante (At night you may shoot one person. You have only a single shot. If you are role blocked while shooting your shot will not be refunded.)
Mafia Goon
Mafia Godfather (Returns as town to checks)
Mafia Roleblocker (Each night you can roleblock one person. You cannot roleblock yourself)
Mafia Vigilante (At night you may shoot one person. You have only a single shot. If you are role blocked while shooting your shot will not be refunded.)
The roles will be sent via PM just before the start of the game. The PMs will look like this:
You're a Vanilla Town
You're a Doctor
FAQ:
Plurality lynch. In the case of a tied vote the first player to obtain the most votes is lynched.
Mafia kp is carried. Each night the mafia must select a player to carry the kill. The assigned player may visit multiple targets (Mafia roleblocker could roleblock player 1 and simultaneously night kill player 2. Mafia Vigilante could carry a kill towards multiple players.)
Players will not be informed if they are role blocked (unless they would otherwise be receiving info as parity cop/tracker)
Mafia cannot hold their shot.
Town may vote for no lynch
Self voting is allowed.
Mafia communications will be held over discord.
Role interactions:
If parity cop is roleblocked before checking 2 people they will be informed that they receive no result. I will specify which two players have been checked when giving a result. (suppose parity cop checks player 1 night 1, and is roleblocked on night 2. On night 2 they will get a message that they receive no result. If they check player 3 on night 3 they will be informed: "Player 1 and Player 3 are of different/same alignment."
If tracker is roleblocked they will be informed that they receive no result.
Mafia roleblocker has precedence. If mafia roleblocker and jailkeeper target each other the jailkeeper's action will not be counted.

I didn't clarify last game but I'm adding a new rule to the OP that I'll be using for this as well as my future games. I think seals detract from the purpose of the game.
cheating:
[*] Posting a townie seal to remove yourself from the lynch pool. Seals include, but are not limited to, the traditional Coag townie seals, + Show Spoiler + as well as players utilizing a 15 year history of never lying about their own alignment. Do not pressure players to post their seals.

Role PMs going out now. Standby for day post.

Day 1
Amidst the towering spires of Liquidia, where gleaming lights pierce the night sky like stars fallen to earth, a sinister undercurrent flows beneath the façade of opulence. Whispers of an ancient conflict have resurfaced, a clandestine struggle for power that transcends time itself.
The city's elite gather in hushed parlors and hidden alcoves, their motivations veiled as they plot and scheme. Among them, a select few bear the mark of the Shadows – an enigmatic syndicate that cloaks itself in darkness, pulling the strings that manipulate Liquidia's destiny. With every whispered secret, with every discreet exchange, the tapestry of deceit grows more intricate.
As the moon ascends, casting an eerie glow upon the city's cobblestone streets, the first rays of this perilous game emerge. A single figure, draped in shadows thicker than night itself, meets a grisly end. An anguished scream resonates through the alleyways, the echo of a life extinguished by the very shadows it once served.
The city awakens to a new dawn, ignorant of the web of intrigue that threatens to ensnare them all. Each citizen is now a pawn in this grand manipulation, their loyalties tested, their alliances formed and shattered like glass. Will they unearth the truth, the insidious dance of those who pull the strings from the shadows? Or will they be consumed, mere casualties in a war that transcends blood and steel?
The stage is set, the pieces are in place. In the heart of Liquidia, where shimmering towers reach for the heavens and concealed daggers thirst for blood, the game begins. The darkness stretches forth its hand, and the city holds its breath, for the Shadows have awoken, and their secrets will be revealed.
Day 1 begins. The day ends on Monday, Aug 28 2:00am GMT (GMT+00:00), which is in

Actually you know what this still reads like depression, meta referencing itself in a future attempt to hide.
Also host meta will they risk the true random or will they make both dead baby and visi the same team? Both scum team seems also irl risk so both town clearly.

What!?!?!? AI figured out the meaning of my name! When I was 10, my brother gave me the name Chezinu. Cheesing you... I had an exceptional ability to find exploits in game and win very cheaply. I played in an unorthodox manner that the developers did not anticipate.

I am host bounded brown. I can neither confirm nor deny my alignment. If I did, it would break the rules. Rules have changed to solidify my non-alignment. If you dare to challenge my neutral demeanor, May the hosts punish you! MUAHHAHAHHAAHAHAA!!!!
THE POWER!!!!
Look around everyone!!!

Interesting that you talk about change now. Are you saying that your alignment changed from last game. I hope your not making it that easy are you?

Can't you feel the change. Don't you ever think that you were someone else before? I mean... do you know?

It was like, I thought I was a pawn being pulled by strings to a dance step by step to become a queen that towered metaphorically like a shimmering tower of hope to guide like a lighthouse. It was as if it watched out to chase the shadows away. But now, I feel a greater power within me...
|
It was like I was so sad and no one noticed. Not a soul asked why are you so sad? If they did, they would have known this other me per say was sad because he wanted drama. But no one dared to accuse him nor pay attention to my other selfish desire to be lead into a dance!
|
But then here I am and those vivid feels are but a remnant fade. I feel of great power and strangely as if I were suppose to feels different. It's like my feelings are trapped in the wrong consciousness.
|
Wait a minutes... there were these ancient writings that describe what I am experiencing. The writings of "Man Ga" state that when great seals are torn or removed, the powers of certain beings can be released. Without the writings of inhibitions, one must learn to control and harness said power.
That is it. I must inspire to climb to great spires and harness this new found power and feeling!
