    Default P.O.W mafia

    Somewhere along the Rhine river 1944,

    It has been a quiet year for the prisoners of Stalag 21. The allied prisoners had been biding their time, seeming to do nothing out of the ordinary. at least that what it looked like to the Nazi Guards. But all throughout the year the prisoners had been digging a long tunnel that lead into the woods beyonf the camp. And after months of preparation, the first prisoners were going to escape. So on the night of March 15th 1944, two men slipped through the tunnel. But soon after they exited the tunnel they were mowed down by MG42 machine guns that were outside the camp. the next day the prisoners were forced to excavate their tunnel and fill it in. Soon the word of 'Snitch' passed through the ranks. The men thought the only way to solve this would be to form a commitee to hunt out the snitch (or snitches). The hunt began on March 27th.


    Rules:

    -Standard Mafia rules
    -person with most votes is lynched
    -no quoting of Pms or any screenshots (violators will be WOGGED)


    Roles:

    Security
    -Standard Detective
    -elected every other day by other members of comitee
    -results will be either innocent, unclear, or guilty


    Barracks chief
    -everyone knows who the Barracks chief is.
    -decides who will try to escape (explained below)
    -if killed, the barracks chief will be chosen at random

    Snitch
    -Mafia
    -2 members=1 snitch
    -snitch=attempt to kill
    -only show up guilty if try to snitch on someone that night

    perhaps secret roles


    Special Rules
    -Every night phase the Barracks chief will send a pm to a member who will be selected to try to escape. Only the Barracks chief and the escapee know.(and obviously me)
    -The escapee cannot refuse
    -The escapee will always be returned to the barracks after sucessful escape for game sake.

    @shlin-obviously in reali life the prisoners could get away but if all the people escape than there are no comitte members left and the snitches would eventually win.

    What's the point in escaping if you're doomed to get caught?

    And if we all stay imprisoned, but kill the mafia, then we win? Or will the surviving townies make a great escape?

    The great escape is yet to be determined. It might happen or it might not. maybe it will depend on a secret role(?)

    But anyways first post updated

    EDIT: only two more slots.

    I'm in, but very new to the game, so I have a few questions.

    1) Will you PM all roles before the start of the game or just the named roles (I.E. assume no PM = you're a townie)

    2) How do mafiosi typically communicate in an online Mafia game? Through PMs? What if there are more than 2.

    3) I know this has been asked, but what exactly is the point of the station chief and escapee roles. Does the escapee get to vote that day? How do you determine if he suceeded?

    1.) I will only pmed to named roles. No townie PM.

    2.) thorugh pm. There will be only two mafia.

    3.) As ive stated the escapee is for the story's sake only.only the escapee and barracks chief no who will try to escape. The determination if they suceed is made by the random choice of the Mafia to snitch on.If they mafia snitches correctly the escapee dies. if not the escapee survives to come back.understand?

    The barracks chief is just a random wrench in the middlw of things.

    So the snitches cannot actually kill anyone per se? Unless the chief is himself a snitch, snitches randomly guess a name, and hope it matches what the chief picked?

    Host, can you answer the last question i asked? Can snitches actually kill someone deterministically, or will the kill only count if the person they snitched on was the one trying to escape?

    srry bout that. the snitch can only kill someone if the person is the escapee. If they guess wrong, it simply doesnt happen.
