Focus on... Yakuza! (Mafia game) - Concluded

Game is built around Yakuza role.

Basics: The Yakuza is a regular mafia player with an extra power: they may sacrifice themselves from the second night (during the night) and choose an innocent to join the mafia.

Game has open setup (all roles and their number are known):

2x yakuza. They can kill one person per night (unless this person is protected) as a mafia kill. Instead of kill, starting on night 2, one of them can ‘yak’: he kills himself, and targeted player becomes mafia member(there is no mafia kill this night; the only dead person is yakuza player himseif). Everyone can be targeted and there is no way to stop it. The second yakuza can use his ability later, in place of another mafia kill. If yakuza is protected while ‘yaking’, he is alive AND his target becomes mafia! Yakuza can, then, ‘yak’ another player at following night. All townies (including policeman) can be 'yaked'.
Mafia member (none at start): can perform mafia kill (one kill for entire mafia per night)

1x cop. First scan gives results: Innocent (guaranteed Innocent at the moment of a scan); suspicious (can be mafia, but some townies also scan suspicious). Remember that being innocent at, for example, night 3 does not guarantee that this person will be innocent later! Second scan gives 100% accurate info: mafia or town. (with the exeption: if player is scanned for a first time when town, and for a second time AFTER he becomes mafia, the result would be "suspicious")
1x cop assistant. Becomes cop after death of original one (or when original one is 'yaked' - so he WILL know that original cop is now a mafia member). Scans Innocent at first scan.
1x bodyguard. Can protect another character, but if that character is attacked, bodyguard dies. Scan suspicious at first scan. CANNOT protect against being 'yaked'.

11 townies, 5 of them scans suspicious at first scan.

In :bow:

Yes, I remember being a Yakuza once. It would be delightful to be one again...

In ^^

Kin-killers...

In

But uh... I should warn you I've never played internet mafia before, I have however read through some threads and played mafia in real life (Coincidentally I first played mafia at a hostel in Japan... so we called it Yakuza. Which makes this a pretty symbolic place to start my internet mafia career.)

Nice to have you here, SalmonSoil :)
Internet mafia is pretty different from 'normal' one (I have played and hosted both, but a lot more of 'normal').
Especially, it gives two things: time (no rush to answer, can take a couple hours break) and private communication (in 99% of live mafia games, there is no possiblioty for communication between two players in private; and here, it sometimes becomes very important). It takes away one important thing (at least) - reading body language and mimic of other players. It frustrates me to no end sometimes.

Feel free to ask any questions :)

In!

I'll play!

I'm a little anti-cop roles, but as you have made all roles open and transparent it bothers me less. I very much like the idea of 'Yak'ing :D
Please count me in :2thumbsup:

This game is build around chosen role (yakuza). In order for yakuza's abilities to shine, there is need for a scanning role and for a protecting role. After some thoughts about balance, I decided for an exact setup of roles you can all see :bow:

Count me in!

Sounds fun, I'm in.

Count me In.

I will grind you INto dust

Ich bin ein berliner.

3 more players needed. I would also welcome a reserve players, if someone wants to be one

Playing.

Ill be IN! Sounds really fun!

Aye.

Now, only looking for reserves!
Game will start soon (a couple of hours)

I start to send PM's now

Little Rock Town.
Beautiful, peaceful town at the western seashore of United States.
...
peaceful?
not really. At least, no longer.
One of Inagawa-kai clan members decided, that it would be a good place for running overseas busness and becoming oyabun himself. Of course, before major center of operations could be established, local population must be subdued. Oyabun, yearning for glory and honour, decided to take care of this himself. He took with him only one of his most trusted servants, a kobun of him, and moved into Little Rock Town.

Of course, local population does not marvel at it. Especially, crime gangs.
Leaders of different, small crime organizations from Little Rock Town form so called 'Crime Council'. In this council, there is also a place for influential, corrupted members of local authorities. When Council members heard about yakuza plans for their city, they decided to act. Unfortunately, they realized that yakuza members are already among them!
Not knowing who is who in their organization (for better level of conspiracy, they were always wearing masks), they decided to vote and lynch one of their own at the end of every day...


OOC:

Role PM's sent.

Vanilla townies will NOT get any role PM. If you did not get any role pm, thern you are vanilla townie.

Can someone change the name of this topic into "in play" instead of "signups"?

Wait...

Is there a special lynch mechanic I'm missing here?

Or was Day 1 just deliberately a no-lynch no matter what?

I didn't figure we'd actually lynch BSmith here, but dang these day ones are so boring when the votes don't even really count.

I am not sure if I well understand tribe/tenses etc. I am not english speaker.
To be sure that I will be understood I want to post this:

No one was lynched.
It was due to a fact, that on day one absolute nmajority of votes (i. e. more than half of living players) must be reached in order for a lynch to happen.

When council members gathered, they found that one of them was lacking.
Soon, they found body of BSmith with sliced throat.

Quote:

BSmith was innocent

A little bit nervous, they started second day of they meeting.

Death:
BSmith, killed night one

vote: Askthepizzaguy

Lovely!

Oh ****, not that again! :P

Vote: Zack

Well at least that solves our problem from yesterday...

I say on to the next candidate Vote: Visorslash i call it a vendetta :P

Well. This means BSmith was mafia and transferred his guilt since he knew we were going to lynch him.

Also, by Day 2 literally anyone could be mafia. Realistically, this means that ATPG has about a 90% chance of being mafia as well as a 90% chance of being scanned innocent last night.

So Vote: ATPG

One problem with that hypothesis:

Quote:

---

starting on night 2, one of them can ‘yak’: he kills himself, and targeted player becomes mafia member(there is no mafia kill this night; the only dead person is yakuza player himseif).

---

But BSmith was found innocent? Or maybe I am confusing the rules?

So Vote: ATPG

That's an awfully confident statement. Vote: Chaotix

Don't want to edit above post, but referring to BSmith mafia statement, not ATPG being guilty or innocent.

Vote: Chaotix

I am disappointed that I have to bus you this early Chaotix. :sad:

Wouldn't BSmith come up as mafia if he really was Yakuza? Nothing about them showing up as innocent in the description of the Yakuza, unless I'm missing something:

2x yakuza. They can kill one person per night (unless this person is protected) as a mafia kill. Instead of kill, starting on night 2, one of them can ‘yak’: he kills himself, and targeted player becomes mafia member(there is no mafia kill this night; the only dead person is yakuza player himseif). Everyone can be targeted and there is no way to stop it. The second yakuza can use his ability later, in place of another mafia kill. If yakuza is protected while ‘yaking’, he is alive AND his target becomes mafia! Yakuza can, then, ‘yak’ another player at following night. All townies (including policeman) can be 'yaked'.

Nothing about alignment, unless I'm misreading something. Given that,
Vote: Chaotix
is as good a lead as any.

Vote: Yaropolk

For starting this silly bandwagon.

Sheez. When did you guys start taking me seriously?

Good point, however. Very true. ATPG is not likely to be mafia yet. I will vote for him tomorrow when he is certain to be mafia.

Unvote, Vote: landlubber

For the stupid bandwagon vote and the obvious trolling. Who said anything about alignment being revealed upon death? Usually it isn't.

You're next cop. :stare:

Who's a cop?

Atheotes.

Oh yeah! He is? Cool, thanks.

But he will be yaked by Chaotix (if he survives). As punishment.

Jeez, and here I thought your plan was to bluff the Mafia into yakking atheotes so we could lynch him tomorrow. What was the point of even saying that then? You can't possibly know whether he's a cop anyway.

Because I'm a filthy scumbag and I say filthy scumbag things.

Vote: Chaotix

No real need for an explanation here.

Vote: DaveShack As good as everyone else.

Vote: Yaropolk

You're no fun anymore! XD

BTW strategy fans.

This is a variable alignment game. Your objective should be to want to be picked by the Yakuza as their eventual Yak.... yak-ee? Yank? York?

Basically you want to be yakked.

The other objective is to not be lynched. Which is why I'm voting Chaotix for his silly pro-town mutterings and all that nonsense about voting Pizzaguy.

Oh also, this is not WIFOM. Mafia I am not the cop and even if I were, pick me. Later, not now.
