Mafia: Vengeance 1930 (Deadline: END OF SEPTEMBER or 12 PLAYERS SIGNED UP) 2/12

Post by SaintKerrigan »

SIGNED UP
1. Krazy
2. Lavarinth
3. Stand by...
MAFIA: VENGEANCE 1930
The great depression continues to ravage the United States, despite the attempts made to placate it. Desperate for a way out, some people have turned to the sinister Mafia for aid. They got help...but at a price. If they wanted the Mafia's help, people place themselves forever in the Mafia's debt. And the Mafiosi find creative ways to leverage that debt against them...without bringing the hammer of the law on top of their heads.

While the Mafia are keeping most people under a tight squeeze, there are those that cannot stand this abusive situation. They've become vigilantes, willing to go beyond the law and strike down the Mafia. These are the only people the Mafia are afraid of...because they are the only people that cannot be controlled.

In a rich Don's mansion, a private party is taking place, with much expensive food and entertainment. Suddenly, a man in a gray trench coat and leather fedora strides up to the Don and shoots him in the heart. Immediately after the bodyguards take him down--but it is too late. The Don is dead.

A note is found on the body of the dead vigilante, and it reads: We know who all of you are. You all are guilty of ruining the lives of innocent people. You may have killed me--but my friends will get you. And they won't stop until every last one of you is dead.

And one more thing: the killing blow may come from the person next to you...right now.


Thoroughly chilled, the Don's guests call for the police. As they wait for the cops to arrive, they eye each other warily. Can they truly trust one another now? Which of them are actually vigilantes? And how many of them would die before this spectacle was over...
RULES
1: SIGN-UP DEADLINE
Since there hasn't been a whole lot biting my Battle Arena game, I'm going to leave this open for an entire month, or until 12 people have signed up. Once at least 12 are on board, I'll wait a couple more days and then close the sign-ups. If the number is less than 12, I'll find a way to adjust.

2: PHASES
There is a day phase and a night phase. The day phase lasts 72 hours, or when all lynch votes have been cast. The night phase lasts 24 hours, or when all night actions have been submitted. Inactive people have 96 hours to respond before they are modkilled.

3: VOTING

Each day, the players will vote on a person to lynch, or for a no-lynch. Procedure goes as follows:

LYNCH "X": Votes to lynch your player of choice.
NO LYNCH: Votes to not lynch anyone. Must have the most votes in order to pass.
ABSTAIN: Counts as a no-vote.

Votes are NOT final until the day is over. In other words, you can change your vote as often as you like until night falls.

4: TEAMS
There are two teams: the Mafia ("Innocents") and the Vigilantes ("Guilty"). The goal for each team is to wipe the other side out. If there is ever a tie between the number of Mafia and the number of Vigilantes left, NEITHER side will win; game will be played to the end. However, if the Vigilantes outnumber the Mafia, they win by default. The roles on each team consist of:

VIGILANTES

VIGILANTE
Decides with his teammates on who to kill each night. Depending on how many people sign up, the number of Vigilantes will range from 2-3. The Vigilantes only get one kill per night.

FALSE WITNESS
One of the members on the Vigilante team is a False Witness. This person can pick a target during the night; if the Policeman also scans that person, the person is identified as a Vigilante.

MAFIA

POLICEMAN
This person is allowed to scan an individual during the night and learn of their true identity (unless mislead by the False Witness). There will only be 1 Policeman in the game.

BODYGUARD
During the night, the Bodyguard can choose to defend another person from attack. However, if the defended person is attacked by the Vigilantes, the Bodyguard is the one who dies instead. Alternatively, he can choose to protect himself, without fear of death. There will be 2-3 Bodyguards, depending on the number of sign-ups.

MAFIOSO
You have no special role, other than voting on a lynch.

5: OTHER NOTES

-All night actions are to be PMed to me and not posted on the forum. Figured it was obvious, but I had to say it out loud.
-I reserve the right to modify anything with regards to putting in things I forgot initially and dealing with unforseen circumstances.

And now, sign-ups are OPEN!!!

Sounds like fun, but I'm going to sit this one out.  I need a break after Murder Mansion.

I'm still recovering from Muder Mansion, but I'd be up for running something.  If you want, SK, I could run Mafia 1930 for you and free you up to be a player in it.

Murder Mansion wipeout.
I have seen the Desler.  I have tasted of his milk and honey.

Thanks for the offer, Thal, but I kinda want another chance to run a Mafia game (if I ever get enough players!). Don't worry, given how much activity has been going on thus far, it should still be open by the end of September if you still wanna sign up by then.

BTW, who won that game? Just curious.

No problem!

Team Innocent won.  Oopy and I were the last two standing at the end.  Mafia Team was GMO/Carlos/Lonewolf.  Oopy, Katerade, Fallen, Lonewolf and I were left after the Day 4 mess.  With no real leads, Oopy and I let rampant paranoid get the better of us and we lynched Fallen on the off chance of a Fallen/Katerade/GMO team.  Lonewolf chose to kill no one that night to avoid getting aekenoned.  It didn't work out though and he got double lynched alongside Katerade in the morning.

Wow. I wondered if LW was going to be able to run away with it.

Well, the deadline is today, and unless there's like some major shift in the cosmic threads of the universe I don't think anyone else intends to sign up. If we don't get some more players by the end of today, I'd like Lavarinth to lock this thread, since two players is definitely not enough for a mafia game. Sorry to those that did sign up, but there's no interest around here right now, so I doubt I'll be trying something like this again anytime soon.
