TL Mafia XXVI
*BloodyC0bbler is helping me co-host this game. Any questions or night actions can be directed towards him or me.
+ Show Spoiler [Game Over!] +
Important Posts: Day 1 Start Night 1 Start Day 2 Start Night 2 Start Day 3 Start Night 3 Start Day 4 Start
Intro: 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.
This mafia game works slightly different than the normal one (read: Mafia), so I'll explain it a bit more. During the night mafia will collectively decide on and send in their hits to me, who they want dead (it's a good idea to discuss them during day so you know ahead of time). Any player with a special role that can act during the night must PM me their actions each and every night.
If the mafia at any time outnumber or equal the townspeople, they win the game. The goal for the townspeople is to lynch all the members of the mafia by whatever analysis, teamwork, or guile they have. The goal of the mafia, of course, is to kill the townspeople with murderous precision.
The game is typically very active and there are usually numerous walls of text to wade through. If you are not a person who likes reading then I highly suggest you don't play the game because it is essential to being informed within the game. I will not compensate for ignorance.
Rules: (subject to change)
Posting Etiquette: In the past, many players have complained or quit because of the excessive badmouthing and pointless flaming. If you are posting aggressively and know you couldn't get away with it anywhere else on this site, it probably definitely isn't okay here. Besides, contrary to what you may think, yelling at someone is a great way to convince people to disagree with your arguments. Please do not post inappropriately, or it will earn you a warning based on mod discretion. If you choose to ignore the warning, you will be modkilled and banned from future games. Examples of inappropriate posts include excessive cursing and vulgarity, among other things. BloodyC0bbler and I have the final say on whether or not a post is inappropriate or not. Be warned, I will be extremely intolerant of flaming this game. You get one warning to cool down, and if it continues actions will be taken. This is supposed to be an objective game, folks. Let's keep it that way.
Cheating: Cheating includes (but is not limited to) the following and will get you banned from future games: 1. Posting after death. You may have one goodbye post, but it may not contain any potential game-changing information. 2. Betraying your role and ruining the game for everyone by doing something like hand out your mafia's member list to the town. 3. Logging on to someone else's account / checking their PMs / looking over someone's shoulder to get their role. 4. Comparing role PM times to determine roles. 5. Posting screenshots of your inbox. This is not a photoshop competition. 6. Posting any PM you receive from a host. 7. Editing posts. Editing posts is not allowed for any reason. The mods can see your edits, and if you are caught, you will look suspicious. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be owned. Please do not edit; 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.
Voting rules: 1. Voting is done in a separate thread, located here. Please keep votes there, and only votes. The third post of this thread will contain the vote count. 2. Please vote in the following format, to make it easier for everyone to read: ##Vote Qatol. While the bolding in itself is not necessarily needed, it makes it easier on everybody's eyes. Please bold. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update votes whenever I get the chance. 3. You cannot autochange your vote to the losing or winning bandwagon. 4. You may vote for yourself if you're crazy. You may not vote for anyone dead or outside the game. 5. In the event of a tie the person with the most votes first wins (or loses ) over the other person. 6. Voting is mandatory. You may NOT abstain. 7. If you miss a vote or fail to post during one day cycle, you will receive a warning. The next time it happens it results in a modkill.
Modkills: Inactivity has been a problem in every mafia game so far. Inactivity is most easily defined as failure to vote. If you do miss a vote, you will be modkilled. Special consideration will be exercised if a player in danger of being modkilled by this manner has been an active contributor in the thread. If something comes up and you know you will miss the vote, PM me in advance about it to let me know and you will be spared. Remember again: abstaining votes are NOT allowed. And once again, flaming is not tolerated. Keep it civil, or else you will receive a quick lightning bolt to the back of the head. Furthermore, you must post at least once in this thread per game cycle (from the start of the night to the end of the next day) to avoid being modkilled. Simply voting doesn't work. This is to prevent lurkers. Anyone who is modkilled may not play in one of my games until they have proven themselves to be active players in another game. I am hoping I never have to modkill anyone. I enjoy modkills, please, let me use lightning. Please remain active so I do not have to. However, do not just simply spam one-liners or worthless posts. Strategic modkills are NOT allowed, either. A strategic modkill is defined as anything that will better the position of your team. You cannot threaten with the words "well if you kill X and he's not mafia I'll get myself modkilled" or anything in that vein. Essentially, you may not use your non-majority-decided death as a bargaining chip. If you do happen to be modkilled, you will be put on Qatol's ban list, and cannot play in an "official" game till you have served your sentence.
You have been warned. + Show Spoiler +Something burning-hot and life-ending this way comes.
Signups: This game is open to all with preference for completely new players, and if the roster can't be filled up then the game will be open to people who have played at most up to two other TL mafia games. Signups will close once the targeted 30 people have been reached.
This signup is posted in the general forum, but after signups are done the thread and game shall be moved to the TL Mafia forum, which is a forum that you must have access to to enter. Normally, you would get access by posting in the TL Mafia Access Request forum, but please do not do so in this case. After signups are complete, I will send Plexa a list of people that will need access.
Clues: Every day post will tell a story describing the deaths of your murdered neighbors. These stories will leave behind clues pointing towards the mafia members. Clues can be taken from anywhere, so long as I see it relating to the person they are intended for. This means names, sigs, profiles, things related to names, etc.
Important (read): For this game, please put information in your profile so that if you are chosen as mafia, we will have stuff to write clues for you. Please include, if you have not already done so, a profile photo, a signature, and information in your "public profile." I will only accept you if you have all the following information in your profile when you register to sign up. However, please not that after the game starts, you may not edit your information in any way. I will be taking screenshots and if I catch you editing your profile at all modkills will fly through the sky at the speed of lightning.
Time Cycle: This game will follow a strict 24 hour night/48 hour day cycle. In case BloodyC0bbler or myself will not be there, 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 tentative time deadline is 02:00 GMT (+00:00), but that is subject to change.
The Election: I would ask that potential candidates do NOT begin their campaigns before the game starts. I believe doing so interferes with the atmosphere of the game and provides a level of sincerity that should not be part of the game. With this in mind, I would ask the voters not to consider running before the game begins as a perk to a player's candidacy.
Credits: Chuiu, Ace, Tracil, Caller, BloodyC0bbler, Qatol, Ver, LTT, Plexa, Pyrrhuloxia, Incognito, Zona, and Bill Murray for taking the time to run mafia games for us.
The balance crew (you know who you are) for helping us to make this setup reasonably balanced.
If you have not read all the rules, please go back and do so. I do not compensate for ignorance!
Please, please have your profile filled out (signature, profile picture, and public text) before signing up as well.

Roles
This is a semi-open setup. Roles will be disclosed, but role counts will remain hidden. Read this section carefully, it may be subject to change.
Please note: all roles with night actions please send a PM detailing your action to both myself and BloodyC0bbler. The results of all night actions will be returned with the posting of the next day post.
Townie You may just be a normal player but you are the backbone of the town. Your goal, with the special roles of the town, is to help bring the Mafia to justice. You get no special powers but the ability to vote during day. Blue Roles may look pretty but the real power lies with you!
Detective You have the ability to make night investigations. Once per night phase, you may PM me to ask one of the following, which I will answer: 1. Does X contain a clue? (Where X is part of a Day post) (called a "Clue Check") 2. Does X contain a clue that points to Y? (Where X is part of a Day post and Y is a player's name) (called a "Clue Check") 3. What is Y's role? (Where Y is a player's role) (called a "Role Check")
X can be no larger than one sentence.
Only 3 Role Checks may be performed per DT per game. You may not use more than 2 Role Checks in a row. Clue checks have unlimited uses.
Medic You have the ability to prevent one hit on a player of your choice during the night. You may not protect yourself. Each paramedic can only stop one hit and as such if the number of mafia is greater than the number of paramedics on a player then that player will die. You will know if you saved the person. The person will know if he was saved. If you are protecting a veteran, and they are hit, your ability supercedes theirs. You cannot protect yourself. A medic can protect someone the night she/he gets killed. They won't be notified of their save though, since they are dead.
Vigilante You may, only once during the game, kill a player of your choice during the night. A clue will be left behind just like a mafia killing pointing to you. If your hit overlaps with mafia or another vigilante then I will cancel it and they will kill the person instead. In the case of overlapping vigilantes, the hit that was sent first is the one that goes through. In both cases you will not know who caused your hit to be canceled and you will be able to use your hit anytime after that during the game. Medic protection may block your hit, and, if it does, you will have used your killing ability. A vigilante can kill someone the during a night where she/he gets killed. You may not use your ability on night 1.
Veteran You get two night lives instead of one! This means it takes at least two successful hits in one night to kill you, or one hit on each of two separate nights. A veteran will be told when they lose one of their night lives. If you get lynched, you die, regardless of whether you have an extra night life remaining.
Mayor You won the election! You have to PM me before the end of Day 1 with the name of the player you would like lynched on Day 1 if you win. You can't choose the Pardoner as the Day 1 lynch victim. Your votes count as three votes instead of one. You cannot be Role Checked by a DT.
Pardoner You are the secondary elected role of the game; the runner up in the election. You may pardon a person who is to be lynched two times per game. You may use this ability on the mayor's first lynch. If you use this ability during a double lynch, each pardon spares one player (so you must use both pardons to completely stop a double lynch). You may not pardon yourself. You cannot be Role Checked by a DT.
Bodyguard Bodyguards are the protectors of the elected roles. As long as they remain alive the Mayor and Pardoner are both immune to all hits during the night. Bodyguards will not know who each other are, the elected roles will not know who they are, and they will be chosen from Townies after the Mayor chooses who to lynch. You show up as Townie for all Rolechecks.
Miller This player is a townie in every way except that if a DT role checks this player, the DT will be told the Miller is a Mafia. The Miller is told that they are a Townie. The Miller will be revealed as a Miller upon their death. The miller is on the side of the Townies, and wins if they win.
Mafia Your goal is to eliminate everyone else in the town. Your ability, as a group, is killing off whomever you decide on at night and knowing the role of each other player in your mafia. You may kill your own members. Mafia killing power will be determined when the game begins. You also must choose the Godfather from among yourselves. If you do not choose by night 1, I will randomly choose for you.
Mafia Roleblocker Once per night, you may send in a PM detailing a person you would like to block. That person will be notified that they were blocked, and if the person being blocked has a night action, he or she will not be able to use it. Please note that this ability only pertains to active actions. Passive abilities, such as the Veteran's extra lives, cannot be blocked by mafia.
Godfather The Godfather has the ability to decide what role he will appear to be when a Detective role checks him. It may be any role and must be chosen Day 1 or he will default to Townie role. After your role is chosen you may not change it after that; decisions are final for the whole game.
Double Lynch
Usable two times per game, the town lynches two people instead of one. This means on the next day everyone gets two votes to distribute between two different people. The double lynch is activated by voting for it in addition to a player (or players if a double lynch is currently activated). The vote must exceed half the number of players voting that day. IE: If there are 30 players voting then the town needs 16 votes to use a double lynch. Double lynches may be voted on starting Day 2. Double lynches may be used on consecutive days. Players cannot place all of their votes on one player when a double lynch is in effect.

+ Show Spoiler [Past Announcements] +Tuesday, Jun 01 2:48pm GMT (GMT+00:00):+ Show Spoiler +Signups are now complete. For those of you who didn't get in, I'm sorry. There's always next game! Also, if you are still interested in following this game I am now accepting alternates. Please let me know through PM or by posting in this thread if you would like to be a replacement in case one of the players has to bow out for some reason. After thinking carefully about it for a second, I realized there can't be 'alternates' per se in this game since clues are written to detail one person, so swapping people in can't work for this game.
Furthermore, for the remainder of the game I will be using bolded, blue, italicized font. Not sure what BC will do, but he's got his own thing. Important announcements like this one shall be put into the fifth post on the first page.
Please do NOT change your profile now. I am currently going through and taking screenshots of profiles, and if they are altered from what I see in the pictures then there will be trouble.
BC and I will let you know when the game is ready to begin. Now that players have been finalized, we will be choosing roles and writing clues.
Also, please do not bother Plexa for access: after I am done printscreening profiles I will get him a list to add all of you guys to the hidden Mafia sub-forum. The game shall be moved there shortly. Wednesday, Jun 02 7:25pm GMT (GMT+00:00):All role PMs sent. The game will start on Thursday, Jun 03 2:00am GMT (GMT+00:00), or in about 6.5 hours. Remember, you may NOT ever quote PMs to/from hosts. Do not edit your profiles. Read up on mafia guides! Do not flame. Most importantly, have fun!

Fyi, I just noticed that Mad Hatters are listed as a possible role in the second post but there's no description of them in the third post.
The second post also makes no mention of mafia roleblockers.

Boring bodyguard roles Complete guessing game to find! Both elected roles got second in the election? No mad hatter description?
On May 28 2010 05:23 Abenson wrote: I've just served my ban sentence, I would like to play. No, you haven't. Your ban stays until the last game you're sitting out finishes. You can sign up for games after that. Bad luck that 2 games happen to be running at the same time.
