Mafia IV: Night of the Living Mafia [Concluded]

***UPDATE: THE GAME HAS NOW STARTED. NO MORE PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.***

That's right, the original Mafia is back and bigger than ever!!! :rifle: :balloon2:

Basic description/rules for those who haven't played before

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The game takes place in the kingdom (village?) of Peace and Love, the Frontroom. Everyone participating is a villager, but two of them are secretly working for the mafia. It is the mafia's goal to kill everyone in the town aside from themselves.

However, the villagers aren't powerless against this threat. They can democratically execute one person every time people are killed. Also, there is a Detective secretly working to expose the mafia. The mafia should be incredibly wary of this person, as he can (and has) singlehandedly ruin the game for the mafia.

Each member of the mafia PMs me after every execution, with the name of the user they want to kill, along with the method of how they are killed. At the same time, the Detective PMs me with the name of a user they wish to "investigate." I tell the Detective whether that person is innocent or not.

After the kills have been posted, the villagers vote for who they think is guilty. After 24 hours (give or take) the person with the most votes is executed.

Be careful, for if you don't vote then certain divine powers shall remove you from the game.

Rules for this version of the game

Same format as usual. Two mafiosi, one Detective. The mafia can kill two people per round, and when one is dead then the remaining gets to kill two a round.

You can vote for a person with any reason you like. Be aware though, that a dumb reason will cast suspicion on you.

Speculation from the dead is allowed. You just can't vote however.

When you vote, it must be done like this:

Vote: General Hankerchief

If you wish to change your vote, a separate post must be made and you must post like this:

Unvote: General Hankerchief

Vote: John Smith

Forwarded PMs/screenshots can be used to help out your case.

Wrath of God will be used, but there won't be a strict rule on using it. Basically, if I don't think you're active enough, you're gone.

Kills will not be in the original form; I will edit them to make them more coherent unless the mafioso prefers that they remain in the original form.

From a role-playing perspective, none of the other games happened. Please try to start fresh, it makes it more fun for everyone.

Post here if interested. I know that Leet Eriksson wants to play, anyone else? And if you've been watching the other games, try this one! It's simple, and extremely fun!

I look forward to another enjoyable game. :2thumbsup:

I accuse the corpse of Zalmoxis as being the mafia. ~;p

I see that 20 people have signed up so far.

How many people are you aiming for, GH?

As many as I can get in a few days.

So spread the word, people!

New system guys. You're all on Reenk's Fan Club to begin, and then you get cut if your do something wrong... :2thumbsup:

Yes! Sign me up please.

He's just jealous we have a better football team and our Aerospace Engineering program is superior. :book:

I'm in.

Oh and unlike last game, if the mafia kill me this time I'll comment with a vengeance so it won't do you any good.

Are you going to going to include all of the roles like is Sasaki's game, GH, or just keep it simple?

Simple is the word here. Two mafiosi and one Detective. No masons, prostitutes, doctors, spies, suspicious characters, or secret masterminds. *looks around shiftily*

I think I'm quite ready for another game. Count me in.

I'll say this: in Mafia, the initial game setup influences the way the game ultimately ends. The main factors are:

1. Proportion of mafiosi/mafia allies to villagers.
2. Whether or not the dead are silenced.

Clearly, item 2 favors the villagers in this game. (Nevertheless I like it when the dead can comment, as it makes the game more lively, and the mafia have to be more careful.) Which side item 1 favors will depend on how many people sign up. It looks like we'll get a lot.

Also, the luckiness, or lack thereof, of the detective should be taken into account.

Crazed Rabbit

I hope that we can have all of the really active posters from Mafia III in this game, I think it would make it much more interesting and fun.

Seconded.

:balloon2:

B_Ray is out of town. Perhaps GH should pm DA and Pannonian.

Just one thing. You all know how I feel about voting for somebody without a really good cause (i.e: in revenge or a strong argument). Now, as I've made clear, there is no List, rather the Fan Club, so I don't plan on being a bad villager, but if I see that there is nobody to vote for (no good reason), can I abstain without consequences?

My finals are over, so I'll have enough time to contribute to this game.
So sign me in pleas!:2thumbsup:

Yeah, just make it clear that you abstain.

If you do so you will escape my wrath, although I can't say for sure if you'll survive the other villagers.

24 hours or so until we start.

I'm going to PM DA, Pannonian, Lemur, and Kage. We'll see if they're interested.

Maybe we could ask people in the Entrance Hall?

Those fancy mafia games were too much for me. I'll sign back up for a straightforward mafia bout, the sort my grandad used to play!

sounds suspicious... I'm voting for Lemur again this game:laugh4:

Ok, count me in!:2thumbsup:

Well, I have sunk to the lowest of the low. I have begun a desperate campaign to get as many people as possible to join before the start of the game.

I suggest for anybody else willing to do the same. Also, DA and Pannonian, plus anyone else who will make a decent contribution to the game, pleeeease join! It will make this game complete.

2 and a half hours left

One more thing: everybody post in this thread as much as possible in the next 2 and a half hours so that it is bumped to the top. Think of it as a spam opportunity.

Sasaki, maybe you could change the title to "2 hours left to sign up" or something?

Topic for discussion while we wait: Who, out of all of us, would make the best detective? I think Dg would benefit the villagers a lot as a detective, his mafia picking ability is very good in GH's games (in my one he didn't quite get it though).

ME, also don't kill me before i cast a vote will you? :wall:

That post could have been the kiss of death for you, Leet.

Sign up. NOW

That's the spirit :2thumbsup:

And yours could have been mine :sweatdrop: ~:)

:balloon2:

Unfortunately, my advertising 'campaign' doesn't appear to be working.

I made a lousy detective, mainly by being terribly unlucky.

CR

It isn't working. I think I'm gonna shut up until the game starts.

i join or else some heads are gonna roll.

alright il join

I would prefer to be lynched on this game. Its an experience i havent had the joy to experience yet in these games.:laugh4:

Ok, Pannonian sadly will be out of town for most of the game so he won't make it; DA is undecided.

Am I forgetting anyone?

1 hour left btw.

Almost time people better join soon :D

Time.

Nobody else will be admitted to the game, sorry.

I will now randomly pick our mafia and Detective. This post will be edited once those people have been contacted.

Edit: Done. If you didn't receive a PM then you're just a normal villager.

The game has officially... begun! :horn:

If the mafia/Detective could PM me with their first choice of who to kill/investigate from this list below.

Wow, big crowd this time. Bad odds for the mafia.

Yes, we have 9 chances of elimination, in case we keep eliminating innocent people. Shouldn't be too hard. :balloon2: :2thumbsup:

remmeber to factor in inactive villagers which would result in less chances to catch the mafia

We lynched 9 in the Godfather right? With 0% accuracy :p

Random lynches are useless.

Vote:GeneralHankerChief

^^ is that allowed?

Well he's not playing and voting hasn't started yet.

Also, he can kill you.

So, probably not :laugh4:
