Capo di Tutti Capi IV [Sign up sheet]

[El Barto]

He meant to say, there may be some players who attempt to silence the spam through lynches or other means.

Spam cannot be silenced. It cannot be defeated. It can neither be destroyed, nor eternally banished. It can only be tamed and its strength harnessed for a purpose, and for a given value of 'tamed'.

Gah! Where did you find that? I thought we locked it up in a cardboard box under my bed!

Now the Anti-Spamrals will never relent in their annoying genocidal crusade!

[Hamata]

A high five to JHT and Beskar

Yeah, she's getting on like we bullied her into it, she pmed me about why she wasn't going to sign up. Typical woman wanting to be talked into it...

[B-Wing]

I'm quite excited about this!

I'm quite excited about playing Mafia with an EB2 team member!

Me too! Night Kill #1 down, 99 to go ^^

If Moros grants the Mafia access to the EB dev-forum, he will be spared until the endgame.

I got a lot of people to talk me into it, they talked about abilities, and kittens, and backstabbing, and awesome team maneouvres, and awesome players (of which I see a few), and kittens…

unfortunately they have all grown into cats trained to rip off people's faces, including, unfortunately, you.

[El Barto]

Not 'they'. 'We'.

[Secura]

Yeah, she's getting on like we bullied her into it, she pmed me about why she wasn't going to sign up.

I did that because it didn't seem appropriate to discuss my reasons in a public thread designed to attract people to the game. :P

This [goon] squad also prevents active night actions of any kind, which may be limiting or fatal to some players.

So as long the position of director is filled, no night actions can be performed?

What if multiple (distinct) groups or individuals attempt to kill a player in the same night phase? Does a single instance of protection negate all of them?

Three independent wiseguys and a townie can do a kill, but three townies and an independent wiseguy cannot perform a nightkill together, right? And in the first case: do three or more wiseguys have to declare themselves a new family in a PM?

In addition, a group of mades may provide protection for another Mafioso.

So three mades? Does this need to be sanctioned? Must all the mades be from the same family?

If a trio of mafiosi attempt to kill their don while a Luca is free, will the don find out? Will any of the attackers have a chance of dying? How will this be depicted in the writeup?

The Director herself may not perform any active night actions while director. Some passive actions are also impossible.

Protection works by protectee, not by attack, SO, successful protection will defend a target against any and all attacks (unless specified otherwise by role).

The minimums required for a successful kill attempt must be met. Up to 2 to additional participants can also be brought along. Mafia families and other groups have, in the past, done just that in order to train up townies and wiseguys.

Three mades can make kills together, or defend another mafioso together. They need not be of the same family to coordinate efforts, though cross family coordination has been infrequent in the past. Mades can kill without the kills being sanctioned, but the sanction credit is required for promotion to consigliari or to get wiseguys on the fast track, since their promotion using unsanctioned kills is slower.

Three mafiosi could certainly attempt to kill a don, even their own. If the Don's Luca is available, those attacks will almost certainly fail. If the Luca is not available, then the chances of all of them being identified are small. Remember, though, that a Made who participates in the killing of her don cannot succeed to the position of don herself.

[Montmorency]

Thanks for that, but there's a couple points I'm still not clear on.

It say's in there that the Director's goon squad prevents all active night actions from being carried out. So, as long as that position is filled, no active night actions are possible?

How do wiseguys form a new family? Is it automatic once a kill threshold has been reached, or must they announce it in PM?

[TinCow]

The good squad prevents the Director from making any night actions, not the rest of the players. Essentially, the Director is unkillable, but also cannot use any abilities he or she may have as part of their normal role. That makes the role a double-edged sword for both pro-town roles and mafia roles.

[Montmorency]

Now that makes sense. Thank goodness.

[Askthepizzaguy]

In the previous game for example, I had a night action to investigate or kill, but I was briefly (and gloriously) the Director.

I had to abstain from my commie-hunting while I had that position.

[slashandburn]

In previous iterations you could investigate while director which allowed me to throughout capo 3's mid and endgame orchestrate and use my fbi investigator skills

I'd never miss a capo di tutti capi!

Though I hope I'll be able to follow the game decently as my good old computer died on me. I now have to rely on my parent's laptop as I will only be able to buy a new one in a month or so :(

[Backwards Logic]

I've heard good things about the Capo series. I'll play this.

[B-Wing]

I've read a little over half the summary thread for Capo 1 now, and I have a question. What were all the suicides about? I was assuming these descriptions were just WoGs, but I just noticed there's a separate category for WoGs in the "butcher's bill" section at the end of each write-up. Were these players who voluntarily dropped out of the game, or was there some other element behind their deaths?

[Double A]

I hope someone will get my TBlade jokes this game.

This isn't actually important, but what's with the female pronouns?

[robbiecon]

I've been reading over some of the last game, and I'm looking forward to this one. I expect great things, after all Capo III did great things, terrible, yes, but great.

[El Barto]

Ah, Robbieus. How nice to see you again… Oak, sixteen inches, rather bendy, wasn't it?

[thefluffyone93]

Wait....
