Music Mafia [Concluded]

Music Mafia
A small mafia game by Diamondeye

Prologue: The Setting
"Hello, and welcome back to Radio Gameroom with our regular host, Diamondeye the DJ!"
"Thank you, JB, and welcome back to all of the listeners who didn't want to stay for the ads - I have to tell you, it's your own fault if you miss any of the exciting mafia games that are running ads on our station at the moment! Anyway, we're about to wrap up today's program so you can all have a good and quiet night of sleeping, or of performing villaineous acts under the cover of night! The last track I've got for you today is one of my personal favourites, so lean back and enjoy!"
*Click*
"... And we're off the mike. Thanks for today, JB, let's get going! I've got a few games to read up on at home!"
*Flicker*
*Slam*
*Rustle*
*Click!*

Few, if any, of the inhabitants of the Gameroom, many of them regular listeners of the Gameroom Radio, realize exactly how the station maintains its quality programme. Many of them have wondered about it, about the strange quality of the sound, the unique touch that the tracks seem to always have, and the exquisite selection of artists that are chosen to be aired. None would be able to guess the secret that is the formula of success for the fameous station. No, it is a secret known only by the DJ, Diamondeye, and his assistant, JB.

And the artists, of course.

*Creeeeeeak*
"They've left for the night! Time to get working on tomorrow's programme! Come on out of the cabinet, everyone!"
"Chill, man, it's not like we're in a hurry or something! We've got all night - let's party!"

A skittering sound gave away the miniscule artists as they paced across the floor of the small kitchen and into the studio...

Welcome to Music Mafia!

This game takes place in a strange universe which the above prologue will gist at - don't worry, there will be more exposition and explanation in the opening post of the game itself, and in your role PMs, should you choose to play!

To get the basics out; Each player will be playing one of the artists - many of them will be commonly known musical artists, and all of them will be names taken from the real-world musical scene. It is your job - if you're a "townie" role - to make sure that Radio Gameroom makes it past the impending crisis (which will kickstart the game it-self, story-wise) and still have its reputation intact!

There will be a single untraditional, special element in the game; Each role will have two 'alignments': One which determines the opinion that the listeners have of you, and one which determines the opinion that the DJ has (or had?) of you. 'Townie' roles will have an alignment of "good" on at least one of these axises, whereas 'mafia' will have an alignment of "bad" on at least one of these axises.

I am looking for 18 players for the game, preferably. The game will probably start in a couple of days or so, providing a decent turn-up.

Sign-ups are filled!

Clarifications on this please: It seems that if someone has

Listeners alignement : Good
DJ alignment: Bad

He will be both Town and Mafia. :shrug:

I'm glad you asked because I've gotten further with the design since that was written. The original idea was that just one "bad" was enough to be scum...

Clarification (Will also be posted in rules when game starts):
Your popularity determines your victory condition.
Your favor with the DJ determines your secondary goal (depending on your VC).
Each player will also have a "flourish", sort of like a personal goal.

Each of these require the fulfilment of the former goals. Which means there are four scores available: Loss, VC fulfilled, VC + SG fulfilled, and VC, SG and flourish fulfilled (impressive!).

It is my hope that people will aim for their SGs and so on and consider this structure from the start, as some of the roles will require some planning if you're to have a good shot at the higher scores.

I hope that didn't scare anyone away :beam:

When I take you out In my surrey with fringe on top!

I just want to be one of the Beastie Boys...

I'm hoping to get Britney Spears, she's been DE's avatar for a while on CFC. :grin:

I DEMAND the Pixies.

I'll accept Joy Division.

I'll grudgingly take The Libertines.

"Weird" Al Yankovic.

If that's not available, I will also accept "Wierd" Al Yankovic.

Any idea when this will start? I'm a bit swamped with work these days (gotta make myself look good if I'm going to keep my position past the two month period!), so any inkling of when I can spare time to hit the thread would be awesome.

Much love, fellow mons†er! :3

No idea. As soon as possible, ie when sign-ups are filled, approximately. I'm hoping it'll end before my large game :sweatdrop:

I should change my user title to "mons†er" :laugh4:. I think I'll do. Glad to see I'm not the only one :tongue:

Gah, I hope those last spots fill up soon; it feels like months since I last played mafia!

And I'm gonna change my user title/location too... cos I was born this way, of course. :laugh4:

EDIT: I need to wake up, I changed my username rather than my usertitle... major fail points. :P

:laugh4: Good location, I had trouble coming up with one befitting!

If this starts before Tuesday I may have trouble participating. Please don't kill me before I get to say anything.

Since when has death stopped you from saying anything?

You wound me.

I'm in it to win it.^TM
