Mafia VIII: Return of the Recommencement of the Revenge of the Mafia [Concluded]

[GeneralHankerchief]

(can you tell I'm running out of title ideas?)

Welcome to Mafia VIII!

Before there was Midgard...

Before there was the Netherworld...

Before there was Capo...

...there was the Frontroom.

Introduction:

Mafia VIII, like the rest of the series that began the noble .Org experiment, takes place in the Frontroom, where the games were originally held before this subforum was created. It is Mafia at its most basic, with only two roles: Mafia and Detective. There are no serial killers, no vigilantes, no doctors, no third-party roles or extra victory conditions of any kind. It is simply Mafia vs. Town.

Roles:

Mafiosi (2):
The bad guys. It is the town's job to find them and lynch them. Each mafioso gets one kill per night, and when there's only one left, the survivor gets two kills per night.

For the slow, this means that there will be two kills every night phase. And if you're targeted, well... sorry. At least there was a good reason for it.

The mafia have some say in how little/much they write in their kill descriptions. It's up to the town to figure out how much is their work and how much is mine.

Detective (1):
The town's ace in the hole. The Detective investigates one townie per night and gets detailed, un-opaque (is that even a word?) results. The Detective is advised to send in his investigations early in the night phase, for if the mafia decide to kill him that night and he already has his results in, I will give him a chance to reveal in the thread before he is whacked. If not, you die without results.

The Detective cannot reveal once dead and can only reveal publicly - i.e. no private reveals to the innocents. Don't try to get around this loophole either by posting code in your signature or editing an earlier, obscure post for five minutes or however. That's not part of the spirit of the game.

Game procedure:

The game starts with a night phase. Here, the power roles send me their actions. This means two people will die before they even get the chance to cast one vote. Sorry, but it works better for the story that way. After that, it's day, where the alive townies can vote and try to lynch the mafia. Voting procedure is the usual, i.e.:

Vote: GeneralHankerchief

If you wish to unvote, then do so as follows:

Unvote: TosaInu
Vote: GeneralHankerchief

Unvoting without saying who exactly is being unvoted (i.e. Unvote) is highly discouraged and if it ticks me off enough I might start handing out WoGs.

Voting abstain (you are present for the round and have no lynch preference) is allowed, but "No Lynch" is not. Additionally, after a certain amount of rounds, usually when I deem it to be endgame, "Abstain" will no longer be allowed, meaning you must vote to lynch someone. I will let you know in the thread once this threshold has been crossed.

Rules:

I try to run a tight ship. This style of game is very low-maintenance for the host and I'd rather spend my time writing descriptions and tallying votes than dealing with violations.

First of all, inactivity will be dealt with by the customary Wrath of God. There is no set amount of inactivity that will get you Wogged, but if you don't post in the thread at all for a long period of time, you're gone.

Screenshots are not allowed, I don't care if it's incriminating or not. Anything else that can be faked, including but not limited to: PMs, .Org chat logs, off-site chat logs, etc. are fair game, so go crazy. Note: Once dead, none of this applies and you cannot quote anything not said in the public thread at all.

I have very little tolerance for rule-breakers. It's pretty hard to mess things up in this game and I hope it stays that way. Violators will be dealt with ruthlessly, in the style of the game's Chief of Police.

Other:

There may or may not be a twist, depending on the amount of players I get. All will be revealed in due time.

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

I'm hoping to get as many people as I can in sign-ups. They'll be open for a few days as I have a busy week.
