    Askthepizzaguy Mafia
    17 players





    Game set-up:

    3 Mafia
    14 Town


    RULES/Deviation from vanilla games:


    • Each player begins the game with 100 credits.
    • In order to vote, you must place a bet that a certain player is guilty and must be lynched. ("wager")
    • You're allowed to wager between 1 credit and all your remaining credits.
    • Whoever has the most total credits wagered against them at the end of the round is lynched. (Think of each credit as one "vote")
    • If the person lynched is guilty, those credits are returned to the players who voted for that person.
    • If the person you wager money on is innocent, you lose those credits.
    • If your candidate you wagered on is not lynched, you lose those credits.
    • No Lynch and Abstain are not allowed. (You must wager 1 credit per round, or you lose automatically)
    • There are no mafia roles other than standard mafia.
    • The mafia are collectively allowed to murder once per night. It costs them nothing to do so.
    • There are no townie roles other than standard townie, except:
    • Each townie is allowed to, at night, spend 30 credits defending themselves from murder, or 40 credits defending someone else from murder.
    • This means defensive actions are possible, albeit extremely expensive.
    • You are not allowed to transfer credits to anyone.
    • You are allowed to add credits to your existing wager.
    • You are allowed to remove credits from your existing wager.
    • You're allowed to remove your wager altogether and place a new bet on someone else.

      oh, one more thing:
    • If you are ever reduced to zero credits remaining, at any time, Askthepizzaguy bursts into the room and shoots you with his tommy gun.


    Each vote must be placed carefully, and the amount of credits wagered must be thought about very carefully.
    This makes for some unusual voting dynamics, and different scumtells than usual. People placing small wagers might be thought of as scummy. People who make sure their wagers come out on top might be thought of as scummy. Players who aim for that happy middle ground might be thought of as scummy.... who knows? Scumbags might try to spare themselves at the last minute by adding a lot to their wager. Townies might try to override that at the last minute, too. If this happens to be an innocent being lynched, with high wagers placed against that player, the town can be collectively devastated and unable to defeat the mafia. If the mafia starts off with 300 collective "votes" and the town starts off with 1400 collective "votes" then the town should be able to win, or they will be the ones who shot themselves in the foot. All that needs to happen is the right suspects need to die, and there needs to be enough being wagered to out-bet the mafia if they try to spare themselves.

    Obviously the clock will be very important. And I will be merciless with the clock. The game will be very challenging, for both the town and the mafia.

    Wager X credits: Askthepizzaguy

    • this is how you begin your wager.


    Raise Y credits: Askthepizzaguy

    • this is how you add credits to your wager, which includes the first wager. (X+Y is your total. You may continue to raise, remove, or fold if you wish.)


    Reduce Z credits: Askthepizzaguy

    • this is how you remove credits from your wager. (X+Y-Z is your total. You may raise again, or remove, or fold if you wish.)


    Fold: Askthepizzaguy

    • this is how you REMOVE ALL CREDITS from your wager. Think of it as an "unvote".
    • You may place a new wager on anyone.


    You may not place wagers on two candidates at once. You must fold your first wager to start a new wager.




    • Game will not start until the first week of August, or whenever I have moderator approval. (August 4-7th?)


    Sign-ups can begin now though.

    I wager one cheese-and-tomato pizza that Secura will play this game.

    In fact, so certain am I that I will throw in a garlic bread... and a bottle of coke.

    Askthepizzaguy Mafia




















    Papa Gino's pizzeria. August 3rd, 1983.



    Day One




    Michael wiped the sweat from his brow, as he walked across the hot, freshly paved parking lot to the pizzeria. He was looking forward to a beer and a slice of pepperoni. As soon as he entered the shop, the employees had his pizza ready, and plopped a cold beer onto the counter. The man took his meal to the back of the restaurant, past the "employees only" door, and sat down in the manager's office. Next to his desk was a rather large safe, hidden from view behind a bulletin board. Contained inside the safe was a quarter of a million dollars; precisely the amount the shop had made from pizza sales. Well, not exactly. There was approximately $1,250 in pizza sales, but there was also the house earnings from the high stakes gambling operation running out of the back room of the pizzeria. The cash would be emptied out today, as soon as Sal and Vinnie showed up.

    It wasn't even 3:30 in the afternoon yet, and already the back of the restaurant was packed with businessmen, professional gamblers, corrupt government officials, and others with a desire to wager and live dangerously. They all knew the rules; if they won, they won big. If they didn't win, their best bet was to pack up and go home before the Michael found out they were flat broke. Many of these folks had already won and lost entire fortunes at these tables. Some of them were playing just so they could win enough money to pay off their creditors. Most of them owed money to Michael himself. Mikey was always loaning out generous amounts of money for very little interest. As long as that money got spent at his tables, he was a happy man. But he did demand that the principal be paid off, in full, plus the interest, within a given amount of time. And people usually paid. When someone didn't pay on time, Tony, Sal, and Vinnie made sure they understood the meaning of honoring one's agreements. And when that wasn't enough, Michael had his very dear friend Tommy take care of it.

    Michael took a look at the guest list. Seventeen, this time. It seemed as though there were a lot of deadbeats gambling in his club today. He wondered if they would be able to win big money and be able to pay him off, or if he would have to introduce them to his very dear friend. He also noticed that among the seventeen guests, three of them were his own employees. Well, they knew the rules, too... If they didn't sucker these deadbeats out of every last dime they had, they would be fired. And Michael would make dead certain they never worked in this town, or any other, ever again.

    Day One begins as soon as everyone has their Role PM. I will be sending those out now. Round ends Thursday, August 5th, at 1159 (noon) Eastern Time USA. This gives you slightly over 2 full days to place your wagers. Remember, even if you don't place a wager, you will be charged 1 credit as if you had placed a wager. The house has to make money too, you know.

    Askthepizzaguy Mafia




















    Papa Gino's pizzeria. August 3rd, 1983.



    End of Day One




    Michael watched the betting with great interest. He didn't expect to see such heavy betting so early in the day. The sheer number of bet changes boggled the mind. But he kept careful track, and made corrections with his pencil. By the end of the day, it was time for betting to end. And then, everyone showed their cards. They started with the low bets first, to build the tension.

    Michael: Beskar, what do you got?

    Beskar: *sheepishly* I got nothing. My highest card is a 10. What a mess. Good thing I didn't bet much.

    Greyblades: two, three, three, four, five. Is that a straight?

    Michael: No, that's a pair of threes.

    Diana Abnoba: I got a pair of fives.

    Skooma Addict: MUST.... HAVE.... MORE.... SKOOMA!!! *eats his own cards*

    Michael: Okay, I'm not going to tell you again, if you eat your cards, you're disqualified.

    Secura: Jacks.

    Johnhughthom: Tens and threes!

    Jolt: Okay boys, read 'em and weep. I got a full house, aces over ladies. So, Sasaki, let's see your cards.

    Crazed Rabbit: Oh boy. Maybe I shouldn't have made this wager. Can I take some of it back?

    Michael: No. *raises tommy gun* Leave those chips where they're at, rabbit.

    Sasaki Kojiro: Oh no... why did I wager all of my chips? I'm going to be broke....

    Michael points the gun at Sasaki

    Michael: That's a real shame. I liked you, Sasaki. But it seems your luck has just run out.

    Jolt: I'll just be taking my chips now...

    Sasaki Kojiro: Hey, wait a minute, are aces high or low in this game?

    Michael: Both. It's poker.

    Sasaki Kojiro: POKER??? I thought we were playing Gin Rummy!

    Michael: Gin Rummy has two players. What are you, a maroon?

    Sasaki Kojiro: Well in that case I think I have a straight, or a flush. Whichever is better. I have a King, a queen, a jack, an ace, and a ten, all spades. Does a flush beat a full house?

    Jolt: WHAT YOU SAY???

    Crazed Rabbit: It looks like someone set us up the bomb.

    Michael: Royal Straight Flush. That might explain why he bet his life savings. And we have a winner. Collect your chips, Sasaki.

    Jolt: But.... but.... this is impossible!

    Michael: Shut up, Tony. You just lost me a lot of money. I've had my fill of your incompetence. They're supposed to lose money, NOT the house.

    Jolt: I had a full house!

    Michael: Yeah? Well does a full house beat a royal straight flush, Tony?

    Jolt: ....In Italy it does!

    Romanic: No it doesn't, and I should know. Hand over the chips, Valerio.

    Michael: This is the last straw Tony.

    Jolt: Wait, I still gots some chips left, I can win it back! I can win it back!




    *Michael pointed the gun at Tony, and opened fire, filling his body with hot, searing lead, and knocking him out of his chair.*







    Michael: You're fired.




    With that, Michael slid the chips back over to the winner, Sasaki. Feeling generous, he also let Romanic and Crazed Rabbit keep their chips. Then, he pocketed the rest. "Cover charge" he muttered. Since Michael was the man with the gun, no one protested the surcharge....

    Oh, sorry:

    Tie procedure is that those who are involved in the tie (if 2) throw rock, paper, or scissors. Standard for all my games in the past year, methinks. The writeup will show them fighting to the death with knives. The credits will be removed from everyone unless a mafia got stabbed to death, same as usual.

    If there are three or more tied, no one gets lynched because I don't reward indecisiveness. That means everyone's credits are lost that round.

    Papa Gino's pizzeria. August 3rd, 1983.



    Night One




    Secura hailed a taxi, ready to go home and give up this entire gambling thing. While she had been excited by the thrill of high stakes betting, there was just too much bloodshed down at Papa Gino's. One thing was for sure, she wouldn't be heading back there anytime soon...

    The cab pulled up to the curb and she hopped in. The interior of the vehicle smelled wrong.... but she was too upset to notice.

    Secura: 23rd and Maple, please.

    The cab driver nodded, and sped off. Just in time, it started to rain. She was pleased not to be standing outside in that. She rested her head against the window and looked out into the darkness, listening to the sound of the windshield wipers and the radio. She felt light-headed, and noticed that the back of the cab was filling with some kind of gas. She tried to roll down her window, and open the door, but it was locked and wouldn't budge. She beat on the window with her fists, but she couldn't break the glass. She was feeling weak, and screamed for the cab driver to pull over. Then everything went black.


    ______________



    The cab drove for many miles, until it reached the bridge. As expected, there was a police blockade, but they waved the cab through after the driver flashed his ID. The cab drove halfway across the bridge and stopped. The cabbie got out, and opened the back door, and lifted Secura out as gently as possible.

    Vincenzo: I hate to have to do this to you, doll, but I've got no choice... Boss wants you dead. He's getting tired of waiting for his payment.


    The man lifted his silenced weapon, and pointed it directly at Secura's face. He hesitated for a moment.... a long moment. And then he squeezed the trigger.


    Vincenzo: Looks like I missed. That's a real shame. But I'm going to pretend I shot you in the face. Let's pretend you don't come back, understand?


    The man wrote something down on a card, and shoved the Queen of Hearts card in Secura's jacket pocket. Then he tied a cement block to her foot, quite loosely, and tossed both her and the cement block over the bridge. Secura fell over 150 feet and landed in the water with a very audible thud. Vincenzo looked over the side of the bridge and waited.


    Vincenzo: Come on, I didn't tie it that tight. It was all for appearances. Where'd you go?


    Disappointed, Vincenzo waited for several long minutes, but didn't see anyone swim back up to the surface. He shook his head, sadly.


    Vincenzo: arrivederci, mi amore...


    He removed his fedora, and dropped a single rose down into the river. Then he stepped back into his cab, but not before removing the cab sign and replacing it with a Gino's Pizzeria sign.


    Vincenzo: It's not personal, it's just business....


    Vincenzo muttered to himself, not really believing it for a second. When he reached the police blockade, he tossed them a bag filled with cash, and sped off into the night.

    Nah, they won't.

    I admit that I signed up to this game hoping that I might be one of the mafia for once, because as someone recently pointed out to me, I'm coasting along as a middle-of-the-road townie currently; I'm not too prominent or skilled enough to coast through the game as lynchbait like Pizza or Beskar, nor am I too low-key/lurky to be kept alive by mafia on the off-chance I may not vote or read their posts in any sort of depth.

    Essentially, I have no staying power as a townie whatsoever, which makes for increasingly boring games for me and will probably go some way to explaining my dwindling presence outside of The Aeducan Succession.

    So, when it didn't transpire, I resigned myself to dying early as per, so I voted with every credit I had in a 'suicide' bid; I later deemed this to be immensely unsporting and retracted with a sorta 'just kill me tonight' plea to the mafia... better to first night me when I've got no enthusiasm for the game whatsoever than for me to get immersed and then be killed.

    My thanks to Jolt and his cohorts, my apologies to Pizza, my best wishes to the town. Have fun! :3

    Papa Gino's pizzeria. August 4th, 1983.



    Night Two




    Romanic got into his car and counted the money he had left. It was time to go home. He wondered whether winning money at Papa Gino's was worth it, considering the death toll so far, but lost his train of thought and started re-counting his money. Then he noticed that there was another vehicle at the far end of the parking lot. Everyone else had left.

    Suddenly the lights of that vehicle turned on, and it slowly moved closer to Romanic's car. At this point, Romanic tossed his chips into his glove box and turned the ignition key, and pulled out of his parking space as fast as he could. He felt the other car slam into his, and his face bounced off of the steering wheel.



    Romanic: Oh ... Time to buckle up...


    Romanic pushed the pedal to the metal and his car exited the parking lot and went careening into midnight traffic. The vehicle behind him was in close pursuit. Romanic swerved his car in and out of traffic, trying to shake his pursuer. He looked around frantically for a police patrol car, but could not find any. He focused on formulating a plan which could save him....


    Vincenzo: Where do you think you're going? Boss wants his payment. Don't make this harder than it has to be...


    Romanic of course could not hear his attacker, but spotted a small alley up ahead and to the left. Without warning, Romanic cut his wheel sharply, and swerved across three lanes of traffic, over the solid yellow line, and across 4 lanes of oncoming traffic, without getting so much as a scratch. The oncoming traffic, however, was forced to brake and swerve sharply to avoid him, causing a multi-car accident. He could hear horns blaring, but continued down the alley.


    Romanic: That was too close...


    It seemed like the accident negated any possibility of his pursuer following him down the alley. He looked up ahead and saw a chain link fence blocking his path, and it looked like a dead end. But Romanic just went faster, and crashed right through the fence, busting up his windshield in the process. He continued down the alley, to the avenue up ahead. When he got there, he waited for traffic to give him space, and then turned right.


    Vincenzo: You'll have to do better than that, my Italian friend.


    Romanic spotted the Papa Gino's delivery vehicle waiting for him in the next alley over. The car roared into traffic and impacted Romanic's vehicle on the passenger side, knocking Romanic's car into the van driving on his left. Horns blared and traffic slowed, and Romanic sped off. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted two patrol cars parked at a Dunkin' Donuts and honked his horn repeatedly, but the police officers taking a break inside didn't even look up.


    Vincenzo: Pull over, Romanic, I just want to talk to you.....


    Vincenzo's delivery car slammed into the passenger rear tire, executing a perfect pit maneuver. Romanic's car twisted sharply to the right, and slammed through a street lamp and into a closed coffee shop. The front end was smashed up, and the engine ground to a halt.


    Vincenzo: I just want my money. Get out of the car.



    Vincenzo shouted at Romanic to exit his vehicle with the money. Slowly but surely, Romanic pulled himself from the twisted wreckage, carrying the case filled with his remaining cash.



    Vincenzo: Hold it right there. Don't get cute, just slide it toward me, and then get down on the ground with your arms behind your head, face down.



    Vincenzo counted up the money. There was only $87,015.25 in the case, far short of the $150,000 that Romanic owed Michael.



    Vincenzo: Romanic, I'm disappointed in you. You know the boss don't like having to send me to collect. With the damage to my car, I'm going to have to charge you another 10 grand to replace it. And you don't have nearly enough money here.


    Romanic: I'll win enough tomorrow, I swear!


    Vincenzo: No, I don't think so. Nobody wins at Michael's tables. It's all rigged, didn't you know? We played you for a sucker. You needed to go take out a second mortgage or something... rob a bank, whatever. Now, it's time to collect.....







    Vincenzo shot Romanic in the back, firing 20 rounds, until he was satisfied that Romanic would be dead in moments.



    Vincenzo: I'll take the $87,015 as payment, and then we'll loot your place for what's left. Blackmail relatives. Whatever. But, since I'm in an especially generous mood.....


    Vincenzo took the quarter from the case, and flipped it onto Romanic's dying body.


    Vincenzo: Keep the change, ya filthy animal.
