Mafia Academy - First year [Temporarily on hold]

[Jarema]

First Year

Mafia game for 13 or more (preferably 16 or more, up to 20) players. This game is part of intended cycle of Mafia Academy

http://jayanthkumar.xtgem.com/images/269671672_640_thumb.jpg

It will be a series of small mafia games (if there would be enough willing participants, of course). They will share weak theme connection. Last game in the row will have some small elements of the setting depending on results of previous games. Mafia Academy will consist of six games: First Year, Second Year, Summer School, Third Year, Internship, and Diploma Exam.

During their stay at Academy, players will collect points for faction victories and for fulfilling personal goals. In order to get professional recognition, and Mafia Academy Diploma, one needs to collect at least 15 points across six games.



At the first year of the Academy the main focus will be on teaching you about mechanics and power of the lynch and sacrifice. Second, focus will be also put on the communication. Rules you will have to obey are made in such way, that they should facilitate cooperation and highlight meaning of lynch. Every student will also have secondary goals to fulfill. They will have impact on your grade.

There will be two or more factions: town, mafia, and possibility of third party (cult, SK, second mafia team, or something else), depending on the number of players.
Mafia victory: half or more remaining players are mafia, all anti-town players other than mafia are eliminated
Town victory: all anti-town players are eliminated
Third party victory: secret
Town will have one power role. It could be policeman/roleblocker/tracker/doctor or weakened version of one of these roles. If there will be policeman, there will be possibility of millers and/or godfather. Exact setup depends on number of players. Mafia, as informed minority, will know more details about the setup.

Special rule: in this setup mafia does not have regular factional kill. In order to get ability to kill, mafia players must predict at night who will be lynched during following day. No lynch could also be correct guess.

Players will get 3 points for obtaining victory. Players will also have personal goal (typically 2 of them). Obtaining personal goal will typically yield 1 point. The goals will not be innovative in this game. Grades:
A – 4 or 5 points
B – 3 points
C – 2 points
D – 1 point
E – 0 points

No communication at night outside of host-sanctioned QT. Full reveal on death.

[Sooh]

Getting ready for school!!

[Winston Hughes]

We don't need no educatin.

[GeneralHankerchief]

In, but I won't be around much from June 1-5. If this is a problem then let me know. :yes:

[El Barto]

We have to postings in Polen style?

[Jarema]

We have to postings in Polen style?
only if you really want to suck up to the teacher

[El Barto]

[Double A]

dibs on a different team than tak

[BSmith]

In. I will be traveling to India June 10-16, so my access may be spotty during that time - especially when I am stuck on airplanes. If that is a problem let me know. :)

[Jarema]

In, but I won't be around much from June 1-5. If this is a problem then let me know. :yes:
probably it will be very begining of the game (day 1, or even not). Therefore, low activity at this moment will not be a problem


In. I will be traveling to India June 10-16, so my access may be spotty during that time - especially when I am stuck on airplanes. If that is a problem let me know. :)

well
probably we will start by then. It will be a problem if you would not be able to log once in a 48 hours period, more then once in a row (i.e. if you expect to miss 2 full days of game time, it will be a problem). But I dont know your exact schedule, and how much time you would have.
So, in other words, joining or not - its a decision only you can make

[Punisher]

My activity would be minimal up to the first of June, but considering that shouldn't be a problem, sure.

As long as there is no damn exams.

[atheotes]

Count me In. :bow:

I don’t anticipate being absent for more than 48 hours – 24 is a possibility though depending on the timing of it all. I’ll make a go of it.


please bring me curry

I’ll see what I can do!


Welcome to India! ~:wave:

Thanks – I had no idea you were in India… First trip for me. Will be a quick one, in Gurgaon/Delhi for a total of 4 days for work. What part of the country are you in?

[Jarema]

I forgot to tell you about ties. In case of tie, no matter how many players are tied, lynch will occur at random.

[El Barto]

What? Cannot into tiebreaking rounds?

[Ignoramus]

Vote: autolycus - This flags too much on my scum radar as plumping for an easy lynch target.

[Double A]

Vote: Double A
well you definitely aren't Beefy

[Punisher]

vote: Cowhead418

The random gods compel me. I shall obey.

[Jarema]

What? Cannot into tiebreaking rounds?
I want it to be harsh on town.

Just dont do it if you dont want randomness.

[Zack]

Vote: autolycus - This flags too much on my scum radar as plumping for an easy lynch target.

how is auto's vote different from anyone else's, besides it being on you?

[El Barto]

well you definitely aren't Beefy
Isn't different weirdnumbers at end of name?

I want it to be harsh on town.

Just dont do it if you dont want randomness.
How evilness!

[atheotes]

how is auto's vote different from anyone else's, besides it being on you?

I dont think anyone is being serious with their reasons so far. Perhaps it is in his interests to vote this way.
He said he is playing after a long time. So maybe he felt compelled to post something semi-serious.

[El Barto]

Yuo is of verge in metagaming.

Ah. What a class.
So, its up to me, as your teacher, to decide which one of the chosen four will get expelled.
Lets throw a dice...

Autolycus. That is it. Poor boy, that is end for you for now.
Class, please dont mock him. You know what? He can still get better grade than rest of you. First, his team may be victorious. Second, maybe he has some personal goals that can still be fulfilled. Who knows?

And I would forget.
Autolycus was a mafia goon

Night 1 begins.
Remember to send me night actions, and - in case of some of you - something else.

[Jarema]

After quiet night, another day starts.
No one died.

:crazy:

Vote: Winston Hughes

Yes, I know its day two.

[johnhughthom]

I think you're going to have to start handing out tardy slips, teach.

[El Barto]

Kurwa! No one of dyings. Is of near-certainty that GH and Ignoramus not of mafia tema.

Consequences, voting of johnhughthom who is of voting absentee player with no connectionings.

[Zack]

generalhankerchief and ignoramus lynched auto (auto also voted ignoramus)

when auto/double a were tied 2-2, punisher and atheotes both tied other candidates (cowhead and zack) rather than break the tie. That either indicates they're town and didn't care about saving auto, or that double a was also mafia.

[Zack]

Vote: Double A

[Ignoramus]

Your analysis tells us nothingZack, and smells of WIFOM (trying to confuse the town rather than doing anything constructive), and conveniently trys to cast suspicion over three other players, while conveniently clearing yourself (by implying that you and cowhead were innocent townies voted on to save auto).


how is auto's vote different from anyone else's, besides it being on you?

Rather, I think your actions on the first day are much more suspicious, leaping to auto's defence and challenging my reasons as soon as I voted for him. Since we now know that autocylus was mafia, this strongly incriminates you.

Vote: Zack

[Zack]

I was voting off-wagon. tell me more about how I was hard-defending auto

[Punisher]

Zacks logic is sound, I'm not seeing what the problem with it or his posts today (or even yesterday) is. The reasoning used is dodgy at best, outright wrong at worst (i.e. hes not clearing himself).

Although, even if Double A is mafia and Cowhead isn't, I wouldn't put atheotes as clear for his vote, he would be trading a 50:50 lost teammate for a much easier to defend vote later on.

[atheotes]

I can understand what Ignoramus is saying. But I think it can be as simple as what John said.

[El Barto]

Of srsly, atheotes and johnhughthom postings no justifications and puttings Winston into bandwaggon! And atheotes can post into cellphone! Of highly suspicious! Votings jht or atheotes, everyone!

[Zack]

Am of sorry, wat?

I don't understand it either

[Sooh]

I dunno. I think BSmith's vote here is rather flimsy.

Vote: BSmith

[Zack]

I dunno. I think BSmith's vote here is rather flimsy.

Vote: BSmith

worth noting bsmith did not vote auto, which for him is towny considering he's a serial busser

though he probably wasn't around to do so anyways, and there were only 2 votes

[El Barto]

So who of should lynchings?

[Jarema]

tally, eleven hours before day ends:

Winston (2): Johnhughthom, Atheotes
Double A (2): Zack, BSmith
Zack: Visorslash
Johnhughthom: El Barto
BSmith: Sooh

[Sooh]

Not sure if Atheotes changing his target shortly before the lynch is worth noting, making the rand chance of Auto being lynched smaller. It was just something I noticed as well.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Vote: Winston

No activity so far.

[Jarema]

day will end as planned, but update may be late because of euro 2016. Night starts according to schedule, so feel free to send me your orders and other stuff when it happens.

tally, 3 hours (and 20 minutes) before day ends:

Winston (3): Johnhughthom, Atheotes, Generalhankerchief
Double A (2): Zack, BSmith
Zack: Visorslash
Johnhughthom: El Barto
BSmith: Sooh

[Jarema]

Winston Hughes has been lynched.
He was town member

The real question that should be asked now is: Had mafia members predicted that Winston will be lynched? Had they staged that lynch? Will there be a kill tonight?

Night 2 begins

[El Barto]

Vote: Winston

No activity so far.
Is of announced that his computer was of breakings! He could into post #26! Yuo is all of silly voters!

Day 3 has started

[GeneralHankerchief]

Being out of town doesn't mean you couldn't be mafia, aren't they working as a team anyway?

[El Barto]

Yuo of scummy for voting me when am into questionings of stupid voters of townie Winston.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'd just like to apologize for not contributing more - most of my mafia time is currently being taken up by the champions game on the different forum. More than that I'm not at liberty to say.

After not very involved analysis of previous events, class decided to eliminate El Barto.
I wonder, if this lych was orchestrated by mafia too.

El Barto was member of town

Night 3 begins

[GeneralHankerchief]

Jarema?

[Jarema]

Sorry guys for the lag.

I am now at the hospital and I will be unable to continue with this game any time soon. If you will like to return to it after some time, then I can put it into hiatus for now. I should be home 10 days from now

[johnhughthom]

Hope everything goes well Jarrema.

[atheotes]

I am ok with anything you decide. Take Care!

[GeneralHankerchief]

Best wishes, Jarema, hope your recovery goes smoothly. :yes:

Does anybody have any objection to me temporarily suspending the queue and putting together a mini-mafia (7-11 players or something along those lines) to help fill the time gap? Furthermore, would there be interest in joining it? I'd prefer not to be the person running it.

[Double A]

Good luck, Jarema.

We'll see you when you get back. Well wishes, friend.

May Polen's progress in European of Cup help speedings of recovery, jarrema!

I'm running a mini on CFC, but we could play a mini here, all the players from this game?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Jarema? How are you, buddy?

[El Barto]

If you want him to get a notification, send him a PM.

[GeneralHankerchief]

No activity since his most recent post on June 22nd, which is now nearly three weeks ago.

We all wish Jarema a speedy and painless recovery, but in the meantime the show must go on. I'm declaring this game on hiatus but Jarema has the option of picking it back up anytime if and when he returns to us. :yes:
