Mafia [Forum Game]

[TehBbqdPizza]

This forum game is based off of the original Mafia party game.

Rules of the Game:

1. There are three factions in this game: Town, Mafia, and Third-party. In order for the Town to win, all Mafia members and Arsonists must be lynched or killed. In order for the Mafia to win, all Town faction members must be killed, or the number of Mafia members outnumber the number of Town members. Third-Party members have differing goals, depending on the person's role. The game is tied when one Mafia member/Arsonist and one Town or Third-Party member is left, with the exception of the Mayor's voting ability. If one member is a Survivor, however, both Survivor and the other member wins.
   
2. Mafia faction members can know other Mafia faction members' roles. Town and Third-Party faction members' roles are anonymous to others- only the person him/herself who has the role knows which role he/she is in.
   
3. Each page counts as one day.
   
4. In the day all the players will vote to lynch a person. If one person receives the majority of the vote by the end of the day, he/she will be executed.
   
5. Everyone must PM me your "night" ability (ex: kill a person) for it to take effect on the NEXT day. All actions taken during the "night" will be listed on the top of each page. If a person was killed, their role is revealed, with the exception of the Janitor's night ability. (There is no night cycle in this game; it is a substituted name for all PM actions.)
   

Roles:

Town Faction:

Bodyguard: Can choose to defend another person for the night. If the person that the Bodyguard defended was attacked, both the Bodyguard and attacker will die. If the Bodyguard is attacked himself, the attacker does NOT die.

Doctor: Can choose to heal someone else for the night. If the doctor targets a person to heal, that person is immune from being killed.

Vigilante: Can choose to kill a person each night.

Investigator: Can choose to investigate a person at night. The investigated person will reveal a clue, which will limit the person to two or more special roles. (ex: Your target owns weapons; he/she is a Vigilante or Mafiaso.)

Cop: Can choose to investigate a person; he or she will receive a message saying whether they are sided with the town, mafia, or third-party.

Bus Driver: Can choose to swap the positions of two players; any night action that targets one player will be swapped to the other.

Mayor: Has higher voting power; his/her vote counts as 3.

Mafia Faction:

Mafiaso: Are aware of other Mafia faction members' roles, and can decide within the Mafia faction to kill someone.

Consigliere: Like an Investigator, the Consigliere can investigate a person at night, revealing a clue.

Godfather: Can kill without decision from other Mafia members.

Framer: Can visit a person during the night; that person will appear as a mafia member when investigated by a cop.

Third-Party:

Jester: Wins by being lynched.

Arsonist: Can douse a target or burn all doused targets (has no effect if no one is doused). The Arsonist wins by killing all other members. They will know which people has he/she doused, even if the target was swapped by a Bus Driver.

Executioner: Wins by having his/her target lynched. His/Her target is always a Town member, and if that Town member was killed, he/she automatically becomes a Jester.

Survivor. Wins by surviving until the end of the game. He/She can use a bulletproof vest two times to avoid being killed.

(Note: There will be no blood or gore in this topic. The game requires 8-16 players at the start. When the minimum is reached, I will continue accepting for 3 days. No more players will be accepted when the game starts.)

This game does seem interesting...

Though, doesn't the Jester seem a bit overpowered? ^^;

No, in reality, he isn't that overpowered. It's not simple to play him and you can't simply yell out "LYNCH ME!" in the whole topic; people will immediately deduct you're a Jester. You have to play the game and force yourself to be lynched (ex: Making fake claims or reports.) before the mafia or arsonist kills you.

And you don't win, by the way, if the town wins.

Hm... maybe I'm not understanding it properly. ^^;

Can a doctor technically prevent the Jester from winning if he is revealed?

Depends if the doctor isn't killed and he assumes that he is the Jester.

And actually, a Jester can work with the Mafia if he choose to so they can kill of all the town members (or one member extra equaling the number of mafia members'), then kill the Jester, making the Jester and the Mafia win.

And I'm just saying the Jester can be easily revealed if he says that he wants to be lynched. Basically, it's not that easy, because the town won't want to lynch him and waste a day, giving the Mafia a chance for another kill.

I'm not playing. Otherwise that's cheating.

[HarringtonSleuth]

Who said it was dead? I've edited it a few times.
