Mafia VII: Shadows of the Mafia [Concluded]

Lllllllladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, junior members to admins, we here at MafiaCo® proudly present the latest installment in the epic, long-running Mafia series, the Greatest Show in the Gameroom, Mafia VII!!! :horn: :rifle: :argue: :soapbox: https://img258.imageshack.us/img258/...ndwagonqr2.gif :hanged: :smg: :holmes: :gossip: :drama3: :hanged: :smash: :balloon: :balloon2: :balloon3: :logic: :medievalcheers:

While we wait for Seamus's family situation to be resolved (best of luck, mate, we're all pulling for your dad), I hope that my game will serve as a more-than-adequate substitute. This kind of setup was the first Mafia game ever on the .Org and I like it the way it is now, so it will stay simple. There have been some classics from this series already and I hope that this one will go down as the best of 'em all.

Background: That wonderful Kingdom of Peace and Love, the Frontroom, is under attack by the Mafia, who have infiltrated two of their members into the town. Why is this town so important to the Mafia? Who knows? If it is why don't they send more people than just two untested rookies? Who cares? The townies are not without hope, however, for they can invoke the power of democracy and lynch one of their own every day, and they also have a Detective dilligently working to find the identity of these two perps. Will the Frontroom be saved? Only time will tell...

Setup: 2 mafiosi, one Detective. No other roles of any kind. Two townies die per night, which means that if the mafia's numbers are down to one there's no way you'll know. The Detective can reveal at any time so long as he is alive.

Voting procedure: Each "day" phase, you will be putting up someone to lynch, someone who you think is guilty. The proper procedure for doing this is the following:

Vote: GeneralHankerchief

If you wish to change your vote, do so as described below:

Unvote: Reenk Roink
Vote: GeneralHankerchief

Any votes not in this form are not guaranteed to show up. Also, I highly dislike the following:

Unvote

...without any name coming after. This annoys me greatly and you should not do this. If this is rampant I'll remind you in the thread and if it continues enough there will be WoGs.

Finally, you may abstain. Any post in a round not accompanied by a vote counts as an abstention. However, you may not vote No Lynch.

Rules: The dead can and are encouraged to talk, but not vote. They can also not reveal any sensitive information they may have learned while they were alive.

No screenshots. Of anything. Period. I don't care whether it has to do anything with this thread or not.

However, you are allowed to quote PMs, whether fake or real.

The Detective may NOT reveal in private to anyone at any time. If he is to reveal then he must do so publicly. Once he had publicly revealed then he can PM people with further information at his leisure. Failure to abide by this rule, even if you're faking, will result in an immediate WoG and a lifetime ban from my future Mafia games.

The realism system (check the two most recent of my big games) is once again in place.

Inactivity will be dealt with, as is customary, by Wrath of God. There is no time period set in stone; all cases will be judged individually. If you were Wogged then all above rules regarding the dead apply. If you were Wogged and had a role then it may or may not be reassigned, depending on how far along we are.

I, as the host, have the powers of God in this game and am infalliable (however, feel free to correct me on voting tallies). Therefore, I reserve the right to change these rules at a whim depending on what I feel is best for the game. Don't worry, I've hosted quite a few big games in my time and I know what I'm doing.

Finally, the most important rule of all: HAVE FUN!!! :yes:

I'll keep the sign-ups open for a few days. Post here if you want to play, and feel free to PM other people about this game. Andres, would you mind putting something in the Capo thread directing them here? Thanks.

:laugh4:

Good thinking, even though someone at some point is going to hold this against you :laugh4:

:balloon2:

In!

Can't let the mafia win a GH game without having to contend with...

:holmes:

In!

26 is a good start, but I want more people. Recruit! Come on, if you're reading this thread but haven't joined, do so! This is excellent practice for Capo and a pretty fun game in itself. I'll PM you if I have to.

Oh God, Holmes is in.
Best of luck Mafia; you'll need all you can get.

In.

I sent out invite PMs to Sigurd, Omanes, Kage, Don, Pannonian, and Disco, so hopefully we'll be seeing some more people. Can anyone think of anybody else?

Sign-ups will probably last another day or two; I want this to get into the Gahzette.

You could try Mr. Leet Eriksson aka Fizz, Redleg, Tribesman, Banquo, Dev Dave, Ser Clegane, Tosa Inu, etc. Guess most of them don't want, but you could still try.

Add me.

Tosa Inu

Be careful! If you vote him, he could ban you!

I'm only going to bother fishing in lakes where they'll bite, get my drift? I'll take a closer look though.

And glad to see that we're already seeing some progress.

Never done these games before, but it seems like fun! So count me in!! :2thumbsup:

Well, you won't know whether they bite until you have thrown the bait. :beam:

Yes, but Tosa?

Sign me up GH.

So, any of you guys go to University of Michigan at Ann Arbor?

He wants to use the disco vote as cover for his mafioso activities. Not that it worked in M4, when it got him killed precisely because it was predictable and irritating.

FYI, in previous editions the disco vote was always on Ice, thus allowing Discovery1 to escape serious discussion. As with Reenk Roink's list in M3, this annoyed other players, who felt this allowed Disco to place his vote without taking part in discussions. So they lynched him in round 2. It turned out he was scum.

I'm assuming he goes to the university of Illinois. Disco, I'll join in on any bandwagons against wolverines. GO BADGERS!!!!

I'll go with a prelimary vote:disco

I will start with Vote:sapi.

Thank you for getting me lynched in another mafia game. revenge will came on you.

Bam sucka! I am so in!

Count me in, if there is room.

Check the playerlist from CDTC II and pm everybody who is on it and didn't join this one yet.

I have received lots of invitations lately.
If I were to join them all I would do nothing but play mafia.

I am sorry guys... but I need to prioritise. The General hosts THE original mafia and I am going to favour his game all though he was not the first to invite me.

Sign me up.

I had to quit playing mafia because it was starting to distract me at work. But how can I say no. I figure only one every once in a while won't hurt. So, I guess I'm in! Can I get a link to the most up to date rules? And please don't be disappointed if I'm not as active in the game as I have been in the past... work has been a real pill lately.

Ok, I wanna give it try.

2 mafia with 2 kills a night, no matter how many mafia left. 1 detective who isn't allowed to reveal privately in any form, but must do so publicly. Roles aren't revealed on death. Dead can talk but can't vote. No group actions. Everything else is up to the players and their discussion.

With the exception of M4, where Kommo and his profiling machine caught an unsuspecting Masy, the last 4 GH games have been won by the town in the last possible round. Perhaps GH can provide an explanation for this.

im in

Wow, 36 is a nice number. I'll close it soon and get started. :yes:

-edit- Two people still haven't read my invite, so they're guaranteed spots if they wish to sign up. That leaves two more spots open total.

Wow, the mafia are going to have their work cut out for them. Will take ~10 rounds for them to win if there are no WoG.

What does WoG stand for? 'Wives or Girlfriends'?

Wrath Of God. Basically, when I kill off players that are inactive.

Tut tut tut. I did the same thing in mafia 1, and was a townie. And its not like I'll participate in a discussion anyway(BANDWAGON SMILIE!). How you people find the time for such long drawn out arguements I'll never understand.

Indeed I do. You go to Wisconson at Madison right? I looked at that place, but not aero program.

I'm still in high school but I hope to go there when I graduate. I live in the area though.

iN!

I was going to advice that.

Alright, I can't keep this thing open forever. If Kage and Omanes aren't in by tomorrow afternoon EST, too bad for them.

We start tomorrow, come hell or high water!

Imagine if you get the Detective and mafioso role!

Mafia VII? I'm in- assuming there's an available slot.

I want in. If there's space, let a brother join.

And that's it folks, sign-ups are officially closed aside from the two people that I already invited (and the clock is ticking on them). As previously stated, we'll start tomorrow (this?) afternoon EST. See you there!

Wow, some turn out. Scanning the player list, there doesn't seem to be many obvious people signed up that will get WoGed.

:2thumbsup:

This should be an excellent game. :shifty: Watch out.

Let the games begin

Who shall be lynched first, Beefy or Lemur?
I bet 100 forum dollars on Beefy.

Too bad no Ultrawar. We cant be sure of the first night kill now! :laugh4:
