The Brothel - Large Mafia Game [Concluded]

Note: This was going to be called Teletubby Mafia, but I couldn't think of any ideas for a decent storyline. Sorry to anybody that was looking forward to game of that title ~:(

A Brothel, in the year 1555. A place of secrets, whispers and truths, all contained within a large wooden house in a tiny backstreet ally of Old London Town.

Recently, a band of Puritan men have infiltrated the brothel with the aim of ending the "heretical and immoral" practices occurring between it's walls. They have concluded that there is no other way of doing this other than by killing all the clients and the women within the house to remove the scourge from the streets. In vengeance, the Brothel owners have secured the exits and have declared a daily lynch vote with the aim of locating and removing the killers.

Roles:
Clients (the equivalent of an ordinary townie)
Prostitutes (ordinary townies with a twist)
Various pro-prostitute roles (e.g. role-blocker, detective e.c.t)
Puritans (mafia)
Secret roles

The clients are ordinary townies. They can no nothing other than vote and post their thoughts.

The prostitutes are like the ordinary townies, but they are in sorted into a set of small groups of fellow prostitutes (three or four people). These groups are comparable to those of "The Brotherhood - Part II", a mafia game I hosted a while back, only without the infiltrators.

Essentially, the prostitutes know the identity of other people in their group and can protect or kill targets with others in their group on night phases assigned to them. All choices made by the group must be unanimously made and all members must send me a PM.

The prostitute groups also have a defence mechanism provided to them. If any members of a prostitute group have attempts made on their life, they have a chance of survival due to the protection provided by other group members. There is a 50% chance of survival when all three group members are alive and 25% when two group members are alive. This does not apply if the group is performing actions on that night however.

If the group is reduced to one member through any method, the surviving member is powerless and, like a client, can do nothing but vote. The defence mechanism is also removed.

There will be at least of two of these groups, but depending upon how many sign up, this may be increased to three.

The number and type of pro-client roles are going to remain secret, unless the role holder reveals, till the end of the game.

The Puritans are this games version of the mafia. There are at most three of them in total. Each Puritan can choose to kill one person every two nights by sending me a PM.

The Secret Roles, as indicated by the term secret, remain unknown until the end of the game.

Bear in mind that none of the above will be stuck to as if it were law - although the basic model will remain the same, some variations may exist to confuse players and add a bit of interest here and there.

General Rules:
Night phases will end after approximately twenty four hours, while day phases will last approximately forty eight hours in total.

Unsuccessful kills will not be reported publicly, although the participants will be informed that they were attacked/their attack failed.

This game will use the WoG (wrath of god) function. This will used to kill of players who are inactive (fail to post through two successive day phases without good reason) and break the player-side rules (stated below).

Screenshots are strictly forbidden.

To sign up simply post "In" below. I'll start when I feel that I'm unlikely to receive any more players (forty-eight hours without any sign-ups). I would like at least twenty players, although a larger number of players are welcome.

In for me!!!

In. :bow:

Will try to be active.

What the heck, I'll join

I'm Inn! :yes:

Sign me up... :drama1:

:charge:
However, I will be inactive for a few days to start the game.

In.

Ok, I'll join. :beam:

Well, I've ended drinking in one game, so now its time to end prostitution! In!

CR

sounds interesting, IN!

In. :2thumbsup:

I am in (if still room).

One question...

I do not understand this "no screen shots" rule? What kind of screen shots would you be inclinded to send?

Please excuse my ignorance...

ED

Welcome aboard El Diablo ~:wave:
At the beginning of the game, I send out role PMs. People may choose to screenshot them and post the shot in the thread. Since screenshots are hard(er) to fake they are, effectivly, total proof that an individual has that role henceforth ruining the game.

~:)

We also vote the newcomers...

Except me, I vote for Caius...

Ha ha - I feel like the guys in the red shirts in Star Trek.
They have one of the shortest life expectancies of anyone in TV.

I'm really sorry Omanes, I'm going to have to pull out. Issues connecting to the internet and the fact that I'm ridiculously busy at work mean that I won't be able to contribute. I'm sorry...

In.

Bump.

How many do you need before you will start the game Omanes?

I would like twenty people or more, although slightly fewer is acceptable.

I'm going to close down sign ups this evening at around about 17:00 (GMT+1). It seems that sign-ups have slowed down fairly dramatically and I'm not expecting any more users to consider joining. If there's anybody out there considering participating, but is unsure, then you have approximately eight and a half hours from this posting time to sign-up.

~:)

Sign-ups are now closed and role PMs are undergoing distribution.

Cool.
Oh, and I forgot to say this but I might not be as active as before in another games (2)
I'm running Assyria Total War and it's getting pretty buisy.

Day I Prologue
Before starting in it's entirety, there have been small tweaks to the rules to improve gameplay and balance overall. The number of puritans have been reduced, role PM quoting is now permitted and the prostitutes have a handy defence mechanism. This is reflected in the revised initial post. For reference, the prostitute and client PM are posted below:

Quote:

---

The Client PM
You are a client. You have come to the Brothel for what most men come to a brothel for, although have instead found yourself at risk from a gang of murderous puritans, eager to end prostitution in London town.

During the day phase you may, like all other players, vote who you think is against the client's/prostitute's interests.

At night you are not able to perform any actions.

Your victory is achieved should all anti-prostitute/client players be killed. You loose if any anti-client/prostitute group gain a majority over the clients/prostitutes.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a PM

---

Quote:

---

The Prostitute PM
You are a member of a group of prostitutes in the Brothel.

You win if all anti-client/prostitute players are killed - either murdered or lynched.

During the day you can, like other players, vote for whom you want to lynch. Your aim is to lynch who you think has objectives against that of the town.

On a night, if any members of your group have attempts made on their life, they have a chance of survival due to the protection provided by other group members. There is a 50% chance of survival when all three group members are alive and 25% when two group members are alive.

Also on a night you may, as a group, work together to kill or protect one player. The decision of who is to be targeted and with which action must be unanimously decided by the entire group. All members must PM me to confirm their choice. If one person fails to PM me the action will not be performed. Bear in mind though, when you act all the protection provided by being in a group is lost, making all players as vulnerable as an ordinary client.

When a single group member is left alive, they cannot perform any actions beyond voting in the day lynch. The group protection also is lost making them vulnerable to acts against their life.

Your group consists of [people's names go here].

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a PM ~:)

---

With that out of the way, day I begins! This day phase will conclude at about 19:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday the 9th of July. This is a total of 48 hours.

Good luck to all participants ~:)

So....another start without a kill to at least try to get some clues from.

Agreed that is tough. So I will start and obviously get the first FoS - but..

Vote Tratorix

Sorry no reason just trying to get the banter flowing.

vote: El Diablo
Bad habbit.

Way to start the night before I'm going on holiday :clown:

I wont have any internet access for a week so don't expect to see me post here...

If you think I'm saying this to excuse inactivity, then check the Throne Room, I announced it there yesterday.

Vote : Elite Ferret

Already seeking excuses for his suspicious lurking :inquisitive: And he posted a clown smiley :mean:

Edit - vote:El Daiablo. I guess Andres wasn't actully playing.....

Andres, I'm sorry to point this out, but you didn't actually sign up to play. I can fit you into a role if you want though, and it's assignment won't be affected by the fact that game has started. Just post your "In" here or drop me a PM.

~:)

Edited last post....

Switching pressure votes so quickly and so early in the game huh?

Vote:anelious phyros

Oh, and by the way, you misspelled Andres

Yea, I know. But it turns out he's not playing anyway.

:laugh4:

This happened before in Capo I. What were you in that one after you joined late, Andres? A Wiseguy?

Vote: Sigurd

I also signed up Omanes, but don't worry if it's too much trouble.

It seems like Omanes is right... :embarassed:

Worried that you might get lynched before actually doing your dirty work, bible basher?
vote: TevashSzat

vote: Andres
Green and all.

I don't think Andres should be having this many votes, guys. Omanes specifically said that he could fit Andres's role in and it wouldn't really affect things. I think adding an extra mafioso to the game would affect things.

Unvote: Sigurd
Vote: FH

Plus, we're not even sure if he's playing yet. :laugh4:

For your evil vote I shall post a :clown:

Vote: anelious phyros

Being on the top of the list :beam:

You seem much less serious than usual.

You should have noticed that I have been this way in most games recently. ~:)
Until I get an idea who is guilty that is, then I get serious.

Not in Mafia VIII. There you were pretty focused.

What about the smaller games? Can anyone verify?

Well my fist 2 games (this is my third) i've played with factionHeir. I'd say there's truth in what he says. Even though he's not way out there when he's not focused.

Well FacthionHeir....We've lived togther and now we've died togther.......odd.

After they ending of Docter Mafia, were shilin (the killed mafia from the Druken lawyors) rips my face off and kills FachtionHeir in a way i just totally forgot. :yes:

I'm sorry AP, your vote seems to be invalid. There is no one by the name of peverpink in this game.

If you had of voted pever, that would have been ok.

HoS: Andres

Capo memories coming back in waves.

:brood:
Happy now?

Not quite, a vote should only include the persons name, as well as the correct spelling or abbreviation.

Vote: pever/Vote: pevergreen

Just making the tally here, guys please update it.

Well, not necessarily. Their roles were randomly assigned and I would hope Omanes had enough foresight to give them a chance of being mafia

There are also two groups of prostitutes as well as mafia.

They may have been assigned to one of those.

It makes it tough that is for sure....

Vote: pevergreen

Just 'cuz.

Considering we were fewer players than Omanes anticipated, it is unlikely he had 4 puritans. So with these new additions, one of them likely is.

Vote: makaikhaan

Hmm, seems doubtful to me. More likely, a secret role.

vote: Craterus

Because he's Dutch :beam:

CR

MY hunch says that

Vote:Beefy187

Just cus?

Thats hardly a reason. Even for a random.

Unvote: Rythmic

Vote: Caius

Reason: as stated in post #66

Cronos, please bold your votes, so they stand out.

I am unaware of Omanes' stance on voting, but many hosts in the post have refused to count unbolded votes as valid, and it has become commonplace to ignore them.

:bow:
