Mafia II: The sequel to the best-selling forum game [Concluded]
***UPDATE: GAME IS NOW CLOSED TO ANYONE WHO DID NOT POST. SORRY.***
If anybody new would like to see the original Mafia thread it is here.
Here are the rules taken from the original post in the first thread (with some changes).
Description:The Frontroom is a peaceful village (kingdom?) that has recently been terrorized by the local mafia, who are killing more townspeople every day. Distraught, the townspeople try to find out which nasty people are doing the deed, and name several people who they think did the crime. If a majority of the townspeople agree, those people go off to be executed. The game wins when the mafia manage to kill everyone in the village (Mafia victory) or if the townspeople successfully execute all the mafia members (Townspeople victory).
-Post if interested/willing to participate. If you don't post within the first couple of days, you don't get to play. Trust me, it's more fun if you play.Once I determine the number of mafia members (probably 2) I shall start the game, and not accept any new players. This is done for my sanity, mind.
-I will then randomly PM two posters and say that they are the mafia. I will also provide these lucky, lucky people with the name of their counterpart in order to ensure that no people in the mafia kill each other. Their job is to PM me every session and give me the name of one user that they wish to "kill."
-Once both mafia members have PM'd me I shall announce the kills to the villagers. It is now their job to name the people who they think did it. The most-named people over a span of roughly 24 hours will be executed.
-Mafia members get more powerful as their numbers dwindle. Forinstance, if the game started out with two mafia members and only one remains, that person will still kill two people in one session. That way you do not know how many mafia people are left.
-If both mafia members select the same person to kill, that stinks for that one person. However, it can also be a good judge to see how well the townspeople are doing: If only one guy dies then it's a good chance that both mafia picked the same person and are hence, still out there.
-When you are dead, either having been killed or executed, you no longer can play. You can speculate about who killed you, but that's it. Your vote no longer counts. Also, if you never played in the first place, your vote doesn't count either.
-Keep in mind that this is the Frontroom. Just because you were killed/executed is no excuse for going on a flaming rampage. If you feel compelled to do so, I suggest heading on over to the Babe Thread, which will surely calm you down.
-New: In their PMs, the mafia must also provide me with the method of killing someone. For example, in the final round last game Kagemusha requested that Divine Wind be beheaded with a katana.
-Suggestion: As far as role-playing goes, the last game doesn't exist. While I can't do anything about people being killed/executed based solely on revenge for the previous game, it's strongly discouraged.
-Also new: In addition to there being two mafiosi, there will also be one Detective who is working on the side of the villagers. Every session the Detective will PM me "investigating" whether a person is in the mafia or not. I will tell him whether that person is or isn't a mafia. The detective's identity is secret to everybody except for me. He can choose to reveal his identity when naming a mafioso, but be advised unless your advice is heeded and that mafioso was the only one left, it's probably a suicidal move.
-Tie votes will be handled on a session-by-session basis at my discretion. If there's a tie in the beginning of the game with a lot of votes thrown around, I'll call for a general revote. But if there's one near the end of the game and the votes are pretty solid, I'll probably just do a "next vote decides it."
Timeline of a typical session:
I post the updated status list (who's alive, who was killed, who was executed)
Mafia PM me with their selections
Detective PMs me with investigation
I tell Detective whether he's right or not
I post kills
Villagers vote
I post execution/updated status list.
Please post if interested. Thanks, and have fun! I hope this game will be even better than the last.
