    Default New forum game "Mafia" [Concluded]

    ***UPDATE: THE GAME HAS NOW BEGUN. NO MORE PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. SORRY.***

    I thought the Frontroom would be interested in this game, so I've decided to run one. Mods, if you have any objections then I apologize and feel free to axe me.

    Here are the rules:

    Description:The Frontroom is a peaceful village (kingdom?) that has recently been terrorized by the local mafia, who are killing more townspeople every day. Distraught, the townspeople try to find out which nasty people are doing the deed, and name several people who they think did the crime. If a majority of the townspeople agree, those people go off to be executed. The game wins when the mafia manage to kill everyone in the village (Mafia victory) or if the townspeople successfully execute all the mafia members (Townspeople victory).

    -Post if interested/willing to participate. The number of posters will make me determine the number of mafia members.

    -Once I determine the number of mafia members (probably 4 at most) I shall start the game, and not accept any new players. This is done for my sanity, mind.

    -I will then randomly PM a number of posters and say that they are the mafia. I will also provide these lucky, lucky people with the names of their counterparts in order to ensure that no people in the mafia kill each other. Their job is to PM me every session and give me the name of one user that they wish to "kill."

    -Once all four mafia members have PM'd me I shall announce the kills to the villagers. It is now their job to name the people who they think did it. The most-named people over a span of roughly 24 hours will be executed.

    -Mafia members get more powerful as their numbers dwindle. Forinstance, if the game started out with four mafia members and only one remains, that person will still kill four people in one session. That way you do not know how many mafia people are left.

    -If the mafia members/to be killed ratio does not come out even (for example, four people to be killed but only three mafia members) the remaining mafia members will rotate having two kills, alphabetically based. For example, if Abokasee, GeneralHankerchief, and Zorba were left, Abokasee would get two kills on the first day, then me, then Zorba. I will NOT remind you about this so stay sharp.

    -If two or more mafia members select the same person to kill, that stinks for that one person. So don't be surprised if Beirut is the only one killed on the first day.

    -When you are dead, either having been killed or executed, you no longer can play. You can speculate about who killed you, but that's it. Your vote no longer counts.

    -Keep in mind that this is the Frontroom. Just because you were killed/executed is no excuse for going on a flaming rampage. If you feel compelled to do so, I suggest heading on over to the Babe Thread, which will surely calm you down.

    Please post if interested. Thanks, and have fun!

    Oh great. I'm like the disposable security guard on Star Trek who inevitably gets killed before the first commercial after beamning down to Seti Alpha 6 with Spock and the captain.

    Redshirt! That just came to me.

    That's probably smartest. I was figuring it out, and most likely you'll be killed first round. Even if you survive, people will immediately suspect you're in the mafia and have you axed. I happily endorse your decision, but I suspect a large amount of Frontroomers just went "Aww! "

    To everyone else, I'm glad there's such a reception. I'll keep it open for another day or two and then we can start!
