I've played Mafia before, but never on the IRON forums and was interested in getting involved. However, the rounds you people have going are INSANELY complicated, and I realized I would never be able to roll with you lot without some kind of basic, easygoing warm-up. So here it is - Hades' Kindergarten Mafia Game. The scenario is below (as I don't believe in being a tease) and then the obligatory sign up box.
--------------
Hades' Kindergarten Mafia Game.... on a journey to the Battlestar Galactica.
Join Commander Obama and his merry crew as they prepare for the retirement of their creaky old Battlestar. Once the pride of the twelve colonies, this ship has since been flying around aimlessly during forty years of peace and is scheduled to be mothballed. What's that? Cylon attack? Must be a joke!
But it isn't.
Suddenly humanity has been wiped out, and there is precious little left. Galactica is the last of her kind, and suddenly humanity's best (and only) hope. Their rag-tag fleet of civilian ships are like children cowering under their mommy's skirt, and the cylons are approaching...
Just when you thought things couldn't get worse, they do. Obama and his XO - Colonel Tiny - have run out of whiskey (and if you've ever seen the way these two knock it back, that's very bad indeed). These men cannot function without their booze, and they start making irrational decisions. The next three things happen so quickly, you would be hard pressed to believe this was anything less than a 'recap montage' accompanied with the soundbyte "previously on battlestar galactica:"
1/ The whiskey runs out
2/ They find a planet covered in an alien version of barley
3/ They empty out Water Tank 3 and turn it into a still
4/ They dispatch a surveying party to go check out the grain
5/ A cylon battlefleet appears - possibly because they too are out of booze
Doing it's usual thing, Battlestar and her civilian minions jump to the next star system, leaving the surveying party to fend for themselves. The good news is, they have a jump drive and are now on their way towards Battlestar (of course, taking an unusually long round-about route so the episode can play out). The bad news is, by now we (the audience) have realized that some of the people on board are cylon assassins (human lookalike robots) and have decided to be as bold as possible when it comes to offing the party. How long will it be before the characters realize this, and realize this is a kill-or-be-killed situation?
RULES
1/ Have fun
2/ This will be a simpler version of Mafia then the others on this board, but don't assume this will be stripped down. We will have some characters with abilities etc - so don't freak out, this isn't going to be boring.
3/ No talking to other players outside the game thread unless your Role PM states specifically that you can.
4/ Vote for a player to be lynched by using the Vote: molestargazer format. You must unvote before voting again.
5/ Days/Nights will last probably less than 2 weeks/ 72 hours. I need to get a feel for the online activity, but I would like this to move quicker then slower (if possible).
6/ If there are 2 players with the same amount of at least half-majority votes at deadline, then I will lynch the one who reached that number of votes first.
7/ I can change, add, or edit rules as I see fit - I am awesome, after all. Jokes aside, this is a work in progress journey, so play nice with me okay?
8/ This is a set location scenario. You're on a transport in transit - we have a bathroom that I'm not going to use in the scenario, as I don't deem it necessary, but apart from that assume the ship is a one room seating/sleeping area and connected cockpit.
9/ Questions or suggestions, ask!
