leggy edited time force go!

IF YOU ARE INACTIVE FOR A WEEK AND DO NOT TELL ME A GOOD REASON YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE GAME


THE RULES OF MAFIA

The basis behind the game is that there are two sides, the Mafia and the Bystanders. All (however many people are playing) have been trapped inside a (place of your choice) and in order to get out, one team must become the victor. The catch? The Public do not know who the Mafia are, but the Mafia know who the other Mafia are.

Each person will have a role in the game. That role will be randomly assigned, without preference. A list of example roles :


1: Bystander (Village) - Basically, you have nothing to do at night but hope you don't die. During the day you try to nail mafia members. A.K.A. Blue, Vanilla, Townie

2: Doctor (Village) - Basically, you can save one player a night. Whoever you choose will be unable to be killed that night. During the day you do what Bystanders do. (PM me the person you want to save)

3: Sheriff (Village/Mafia) - During the night, you investigate one person of your choice. You can see whether or not the person is mafia (PM me the person you want to investigate) A.K.A. Cop, Detective

4: Mafia (Mafia) - The first somewhat complicated role. Your job is to kill people at night. YOU get to choose the order you do the killings, and as a group you choose who to kill. During the day you try to avoid being killed. You know who each other and the godfather are. A.K.A. Vanilla Mafia

5: Thug (Third) - Even though you're just a fall guy to the other Mafia members, your decision on when to take the bullet can change the course of the entire game. Although you don't know who your superiors are, it's your job to die for them during the day round if you think the Bystanders are going to vote one of them off. You actually count as a bystander, so don't think that your death will be in vain! (PM me during the day round who you take the bullet for... unless you don't want to )

6: Anarchist Leader (Cult) - Otherwise known as Leader. This role is the only Anarchist at the start of the game. Every Night Round they will choose one player to make an Anarchist. None of the sides will be aware of it. The only people who will know will be the Anarchist Leader and the new Anarchist. The Anarchist loses any role he had previously and joins the state of Anarchy. This is the only way to increase numbers for the Anarchists, so once the Anarchist Leader dies, they will just try to drag on the game. This role will be given any extra explanation as is needed.

7: Godfather (Mafia) - Basically, you are undetectable mafia. No one can tell if you are mafia aside from other mafia. The Bystanders will want to get rid of you ASAP. You are just like the other mafia members... except the sheriff can't find out if you are mafia.

8: Insomniac (Village/Mafia) - You are awake at night. You can hear action in the rooms next to you, but you won't know who is doing the action. You will also witness actions that occur in your room. Every night you will get a PM of any actions that happened in the rooms adjacent to you, as well as your own.

9. Loose Cannon (Village/Mafia) - This role is basically an offensive bystander. Every night round they can choose one person to kill. Period. It can be either side so it's advised to only kill if you don't think they are a role like Doctor. You are on the bystanders (or mafia's!) side. You are the Bystander's (or mafia's secondary) offense at night. In games with less than 25 people, you are limited to 3 kills. Period. In games of 25+ you get an extra kill for every 4 people.

10. Tree (Village/Mafia) - You don't get to vote, but you are able to contribute to the game thread. You also can't be killed. So there's that. If "attacked", the role will be revealed, but NOT the alignment.

11. Bad Cop (Village/Mafia) - You work like the sheriff... but you get the opposite results. Not only that, but you are told you are the sheriff to start the game. You have no idea of knowing you are the bad cop until everyone knows basically. Otherwise, you function like a sheriff.

12. Border Patrol (Village/Mafia) - You can choose any player to watch. You see where they go that night. It's pretty simple. A.K.A. Tracker

13. Watcher (Village/Mafia) - You can choose one player to watch. You see who visites them, but not what they do.

14. Forger (Mafia) - This functions in an odd way. You are on the mafia side, and you eliminate the need for two thugs. Why? Because you choose a person a night. If they die, you get to change the role that is shown on death. For example, if the mafia chose to kill a sheriff, you could make that person appear to be a bystander, a thug, mafia, or anything.

15. Gun Launderer (Village) - You are a night role. You are a town sided role exclusively. You give a player a gun at night. The player you give the gun to will be notified before the day round begins. They can use this gun to shoot ANYONE at ANYTIME during the day round, and kill them instantly. This does NOT count as the Day Round Lynch, so you can kill multiple people in the day.

16. Leggyist (Third) - You are neither town sided or mafia sided... nor anarchist sided. You function like the Survivor from EM... sort of. You have no night role, nor day powers. You can vote like a bystander, but no matter which side wins, you win if you survive to the end of the game. Your only goal is survival. A.K.A. Survivor. Note - You cannot win if the Assassin is still alive. Also, if an Anarchist tries to convert you, they die.

17. Fool (Third) - You are the role people will learn to hate. You win if you are every killed via day round accusations (not if you are shot). If you die at night, you just die. No win for you. The game will continue no matter if you have already won or not, just to be fair to everyone. Again, your only job is to DIE. You are the OPPOSITE of the Leggyist!

18. Governor (Village/Mafia) - Has the power to change the lynch, either changing who is lynched or not killing anyone at all. Using their power also ends the current Day round. If the power is used, you will be revealed as governor, but your allignment will be kept secret.

19. Researcher (Village/Mafia) - Has the power to claim check ONCE per day round. However, doing so will reveal them as the researcher. There is a limit of ONE Researcher per day. The power can be used only TWICE per game.

20. Assassin (Third) - Kills one person a night. No exceptions. They also cannot be seen by the Border Patrol, Watcher, and will not be heard or seen ever by the Insomniac. They win by being either the last left or the second to last left.

21. Potato (Village/Mafia) - You have a new power... the ability to learn the potato rule. However... to learn it, you must survive for three night rounds (first night round counts). On the day following the third night, you will be told the Potato Rule. You may use this to help your team win. And contrary to logic, you do get a vote.

22. Haunted Tree (Village/Mafia) - Just like the normal tree, except that if you visit it at night, you will die. If shot/lynched, appears as "tree". Alignment kept secret.

23. Bounty Hunter (Village) - Essentially, your role is to "trap" rooms. If you visit the same room as someone who kills others (Assassin/Mafia/etc.) then you will kill the person who attempted to kill, while saving the person who was being killed from being killed. Cannot kill Mafia by visiting the room of a Mafia Member.

24. Locksmith (Village/Mafia) - They have the power to close doors for an entire night round. At night, they choose a player to visit, whoever they visit will have their door locked for the entire night round, and cannot get in or out. This will not affect the Watcher or Sheriff/Bad Cop. This can be good or bad, as it may prevent a Mafia member from killing someone, but it may also prevent the doctor from getting out to save anyone.

The game consists of multiple "Night" and "Day" rounds.

During Night rounds :

1: Anyone who was given the role MAFIA or GODFATHER will talk (Not the forger though, No cheating). You will choose to kill a single player. If there is a tie, the godfather will be the deciding vote. You may talk via PM for as many as 2 days to get a clear vote. Alternatively, you may choose to forgo killing a player, and instead, learn the identity of either the Forger or Thug. You must have a clear majority to do this however.

2: The DOCTOR will PM me one person that they are trying to save. If its the same person that the Mafia wants dead, then the life is saved and the bystanders get another chance.

3: The SHERIFF and BAD COP will PM me the name of one person in the game. They will learn EITHER the full role (or non role) OR the Alignment of the player they investigated. Varies on specific role.

4: The INSOMNIAC will be informed of the name and position of anybody that visited the Insomniac's room and/or any activity in the adjacent rooms, if the situation permits.

5: After the night passes, the name anybody who was killed as well as their role(s), will be announced. When you are killed, you aren't allowed to contribute any information whatsoever that reveals the nature of any persons.


After a Night turn, a Day round comes around. The following will happen :

1: Anybody who is dead or saved will be announced. (Only the dead have their position announced.)

2: For 24-48 hours some amount of time, everyone will be allowed to converse and voice their theories. PLEASE INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE PERSON YOU THINK IS IN THE MAFIA, IN BOLD. Failure to do so may result in your vote not being counted.

3: In event of a tie, the round will end with a No Kill.

4: At this point, a Thug can step in and take the bullet if he or she believes the person up for killing to be in the Mafia. (He or she can also PM me beforehand stating the conditions which need to apply if he or she is to take the bullet.)

5: If enough people vote to Not Kill, then nobody will be killed for that day. Nighttime will follow the voting round like normal.

The process then goes into a night round once more, and repeats until there are as many or more Mafia members as bystanders, or until all of the Mafia is killed.


Keep in mind:

1: Many "rules" here are just guidelines. Actual rules will vary by game. There may also be roles used that are not listed here, or roles listed here used with an alternate name. This is the Host's choice.

2: You MAY target yourself with a power unless you are one of the following: Gun Launderer, Anarchist Leader, Doctor.

3: The Mafia can still function without a Godfather. And there is no guarantee there will BE a Godfather.

4: The Insomniac can only sense activity in the adjacent rooms, so no names or positions are revealed unless they visit the Insomniac's own room. (He or she will be able to tell which room(s) the activity is from, though.)

5: The Insomniac can only learn the position of a Mafia member if he or she was both visited that night by the Mafia and saved by the Doctor. (In this case, the Insomniac wouldn't learn who the Doctor is, just like anybody else he or she saves.)

6: The only things that the Insomniac doesn't detect as activity are when players do nothing and when the Sheriff or Watcher investigates.

7: The room order is based off the list of players. For example, in a game with 12 players, player twelve is next to player one and player eleven.

8: If the Mafia is placed in a situation I deem to be impossible to win normally, they will automatically win at the beginning of the following Day Round. (Essentially, the only time this is possible is if a bystander breaks a rule post mortem - See Mafia XV)

9: NO SHARING YOUR PM. NO PROOF OF YOUR ROLE. NO META GAMING. DONT BE A JERK

10. Bad Cops are not accurate. Bystanders will appear to be Mafia, and Mafia will appear to be bystanders. Godfather will appear as "Mafia", Loose Cannon will appear as "Bystander". Results on Thirds will vary. The EXACT role will also vary. IE - If a bad cop targets mafia, they may be told the mafia is a bystander sheriff, whereas later, a second investigation MAY say he is a Border Watch Bystander.

11. Anarchists cannot convert Leggyists or Trees. In the latter case, nothing happens. In the former, the Anarchist dies.

12. There may be a potato rule. Or even a hidden potato rule the potato can't find out about. Or even the dreaded ultra potato role. You know. The kind that has never been used.

13. Sheriff's will get accurate results all the time unless they are investigating an Assassin, the Godfather, or the Fool. If they should investigate ANY of these roles, they will be told the player is a bystander.

14. Regarding what roles count as "visiting" players: Doctor, Mafia, Anarchist Leader, Godfather, Loose Cannon, Gun Launderer, and Bounty Hunter are all visiting roles. Sheriff, Bad Cop, Watcher, and Border Patrol do not actually enter the room of the player in question.

There are some technicalities that this set of rules doesn't cover, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
----------------------

Win Conditions

Note : This conditions may vary by game. However, these are the most common win conditions.

Bystanders - Must be last group standing. (Doesn't take into account thirds, unless Cult)
Mafia - x>=y+z, when x is the Mafia, y is the Bystanders and z is Anarchists/Cult. Also cannot win if Assassin is still around.
Anarchists/Cult - z>x+y, when x is Mafia, y is Bystanders, and z is Anarchists/Cult
Leggyist - Survive to the end of the game, as long as the last remaining side is not the Assassin.
Fool - Dies during the day round via lynching.
Assassin - Wins by being the last left (entering a day round), or second to last left (entering a night round). If an assassin is in the game, the game will not end once bystanders or mafia have won.

More than one side can win a game. A fool win will not end the game. A mafia win will.
----------------------

Being denied from playing or being banned from playing is up to the Host's decision. The Host may choose certain baseline to be able to play at their own discretion.

I want at least 10 players.

Fux yes, I am in. 100%. =|

I can log on every day, but no promises since I'm starting school soon, and my activity might take a vital hit and drastically drop.
Just a warning in advance c:

I'm interested for sure. Not sure if I'll do any good at the game but I'd like a chance at lasting through the first round

Nice legacy!

I am in. I log in everyday, so activity won't be a problem in the slightest. I'm in.

UserMike :

Try to get as many people into it as you can.

I figure we will have a few people get inactive if it's only 10, but if we could somehow press 20, it would make the game more likely to work. The bigger the game, the more fun it will be

Yeah, I'm in! =P Thanks for the summon, haha. 

Count me in I guess. I am on almost every day but on the days I have XC meets I can not really get on. I will tell you in advance or afterwards that it was because of that. Anyway, this has nothing to do with anyone else I wanted to do this. Nothing to do with threats.

I know I was not summoned, but may I please join?

AuraBlaze :

EVERYONE is welcome =)

Please, do play =)

Well, I suppose I can join again. I just hope things don't get all slow and unresponsive like last time.

Im in! I liked it last time, and Im sure I will like it again... Just as long as I don't die early

As long as it didn't go like last time then I'm in.

I have enough to make it work, but try to get more players if possible.

The game will start on the 5th. I'm giving people until THEN to sign up.

Oh, yup, I'm in.

I will be busy so I can't apply

I guess I'll give it a go. I won't fully understand how the game works until I've been involved for a while, but I 'll learn.

Cyro Xero :

Youve played Murder Mystery right?

Think like that except with more than one murderer.

There are just a few extras involved. If I know you like I think I do, you will get the hang of it.
