The rules:

 

Set up

As mentioned in the sign ups, the game differs a little from a regular mafia game, but it is still about an uninformed majority versus a informed minority. It's based on haunted mansion games and since this is the first time we play one here, I'll go over all the basics.

 

Three factions:

The following three factions are part of the game:

- Townies: They start the game without any knowledge about other players. They also start the game without any items or knowledge about the map. For this first game, their win condition will be to eliminate the mafia.

- Mafia: As in a regular mafia game, the mafia all know each other. They also know most details about the map and they usually start with at least one item each. The mafia wins when all non mafia players have been eliminated.

- Vigilantes: Vigilantes also know each other. They may have some knowledge about the map, but considerably less than the mafia. They usually start with at least one item each as well. The vigilantes win when all mafia members have been eliminated.

 

Day

Like regular mafia games, the game consists of a day and night phase. However, the mechanics are different. During the day, everyone can move around on a map. Moving can be done by posting one of two commands in this thread: Move to Room X and Follow Player Y. You can move around all day long. For this game, one game day will lasts 5 real life days or until all players have posted in the topic that they want the day phase to end. In addition to moving around, the day can also be used to discuss strategies, suspects, etc.

 

Night

After everyone has settled for a room, the night phase starts. During the night phase every player can submit one command to me in a PM. At the end of the night, every player will get a report of what happened in his room. However, it will be a report from the point of view of the player, so you will not necessarily see everything that goes on in the room. Basically, each action has a certain chance that it will be detected by another player. The following commands are available:

 

 

- Search: Search the room you are currently in. In this way you may be able to find an item or stumble across some room functionality. (For example, when searching the bathroom, you could find a hidden explosive. Your report would then look something like: "Your search of the room exposes a hidden explosive. Hidden explosive: The explosive is linked with a detonator. At night when you are in the bathroom you can submit the action 'use: hidden explosive' to use the detonator. All players in the room will receive 2 dmg"). Every item has a certain chance that it will be found when someone performs a search. Therefore, if you did not find something on N1, it does not necessarily mean it is not there. After someone dies, you may also search their body and recover their items. If more than one player searches a body, the items will be randomly divided between the players.

 

- Use X: Use an item or room functionality. Whenever you obtain an item or find a room functionality, you will receive a short description telling you what happens if you use it.

 

- Watch Y: Watch player Y. This greatly increases the chance that you will observe their night action.

 

- Attack Y: Attack player Y. You can either use your bare hands to attack or use a weapon you have found/were given at the beginning of the game. Attacking has a high chance of being detected by other players.

 

Since writing all these individual night scenes will take some time, the nights may take a few days. You may already start submitting night actions during the day. I will accept conditional night actions, for example: attack X if X is in the room, otherwise search room. Once the day ends, you will have 24 hours to update your night action. At that point I will lock all actions and start writing the individual night scenes.

 

Map

 

This is the map for this game.

I will update everyone's position on the map a few times each day.

 

 

Health

 

All players start with 100% health. Attacking a player will reduce his HP. Once a player's HP drops to zero, he dies. Everyone's health will be updated at the start of each day phase.

 

 

Additional rules

 

(Stolen from Narsis, who stole them mostly from mole, and slightly adapted by me)

 

1. This is game. Play to win; expect to lose. And have fun.

 

2. No editing or deleting posts.

 

3. No talking to other players outside the game thread unless your Role PM states specifically that you can.

 

4. No quoting any PMs from me, including Role PMs. Doing so will get you modkilled. Paraphrasing role PMs is not allowed either. There is nothing in your role PM that you should be sharing with the other players. It is pretty much only flavour + win condition. You are allowed to claim a certain faction, but there will be no hinting about things that might be in your role PM.

 

5. Move to a room by posting Move to Room X. Alternatively, you can also follow another players by posting Follow player X. There is no limit to the number of moves you can make during a day.

 

6. Days will last 5 days or until all players have indicated that they are done for the day. Nights will last at least 24 hours, will most likely take a little longer since I need to write individual night scenes.

 

7. Don't use small / invisible font, don't use coloured text(except for mole who is allowed to use orange if he is acting as the super moderator of the forum), and don't use any form of clever encryption or code in your messages.

 

8. If you haven't posted in 2 days, I'll prod you. If you don't pick up that prod AND post within 48 hours, I'll replace you.

8-1. If you need to be replaced for whatever reason, please PM me, don't flake.

8-2. If you are V/LA, don't rely on me checking the thread / your signature. Please post in the thread notifying me of your V/LA or PM me about it.

8-3. If you replace out, you automatically lose. If you are someone replacing in, whether it counts as a win or loss depends on how long you have been replaced in for.

 

9. Map updates will be made whenever I feel like it(or it is asked) and will be done in the first post.

 

10. I hope it isn't necessary, but any modkills will negatively effect the rule-breaker's faction in some way which I see fit. If you are modkilled, you lose, no matter how the game ends.

 

11. I can change, add, or edit rules as I see fit. I will notify players in-thread if this happens.

 

12. I am not perfect. I may have got something wrong. I may have missed a rule out. Let me know, ask me questions, but don't abuse my mistakes.

 

13-1. To get my attention in-thread, use the MOD: <Your message> format. Or, y'know, you could PM me.

 

If anything is unclear you can either ask here or sent me a message. If I think the answer is relevant to everyone, I will post it here, but at your request I may make it an anonymous question.

There are no vig partnerS, only a vig partner. There are only 2 vig's. If you were the vig, you would A partner. Since you are scum, you have partners, plural.

 

Not only did you slip up once, you slipped up twice. Tsk tsk.

 

 

as stated the chandelier was an unforseen event. and not something that i or any of my partners caused.

 

 

precisely my point. CH most definitely wasnt one of my vig partners.

 

What say ye to that?

now how could you know that my good friend hmm? what makes you think that there aren't 3 vigs? also isn't it convenient that AKC/Theo only claimed there's the two of them? with CH dead it makes a lot of sense that there'd only be two scum left alive...

Narsis is right. There are two scum alive. Him and possibly Kazio.

Out of curiosity, who isn't going to be following Narsis tonight?

Who asked for this? on what page?

 

A summary of the game by selected quotes ...

 

I say we beat Narsis to death just for the lulz .

In literary terms, this is foreshadowing.

 

Rather than let the scum know what we are doing, I think each player should choose to either search or watch but not let anybody know the choice beforehand.

I hope it was not vigilantes that did damage last night.

We didn't know who was scum and who was not.

If we move and something similar happens again, we can create a list of good suspects.

The vigilantes should know not to randomly attack.

 

I found a med kit and then used it successfully.

I think the town will have a better chance of winning if we take that approach (most of us, anyway).

If somebody has another med kit, I could use a little help here ...

 

Then, on night 2, either Kevin or Narsis attacked Kazio. Kevin, what was your night action then?

I healed Curu.

 

2) why whack Kevin? well it has to do with the combination of items that us vigs started with and found during the night that makes KevinH finding a medkit night 1 highly suspect.

A desperate attempt by Narsis. The real answer is that if I had lost one more HP and nobody had watched, he would have successfully attacked me and gotten away with it.

 

So if KevinH is mafia, then why did he heal Curu, who is obviously not?

A wise statement.

 

There is absolutely no reasonable explanation why a vig would attack me. Narsis is scum and I will attack him while I have my one remaining HP.

Who's in favor of ending the day early?

 

I am.

NARSIS IS GUILTY BECAUSE......

 

He attacked KevinH, a beloved and veteran class mate who proved his "townieness" by coming to the aid of his fellow man.

 

He was miraculously the only one uninjured by the falling chandelier.

 

He claims he's a vig but for some strange reason no one else is backing up his story, in fact, everyone else wants him dead. Who needs enemies when you've got friends like these 'eh Narsis?

 

Claims he was saving his med pack for his partners or a trust worthy townie. Funny, I don't remember him coming to help after two of us were attacked on N1.

I also would not mind if we ended the day early.

 

This looks like a pretty open and shut case to me. The sooner we end the day the less of a chance we have of Narsis moving to another room to ambush us.

EM, you're following Narsis, eh?

I'm still in the kitchen

I suppose that if Narsis can't handle the heat, he should get out of the kitchen, LOL....

BTW, there is a huge wind storm in my area. I may not be able to access the internet for a stretch of time in the next few days. We'll see what happens.

I suppose that if Narsis can't handle the heat, he should get out of the kitchen, LOL....

 

 

I LOL'd

Thanks, EM...

 

To update my weather story, I'm seriously looking at listening to 60-90 km/h winds all night.

Im here,

 

Well, i'll post something later on specifly but from what i've Narsis is just making stuff up to save him from getting killed, is like i think you narsis told me in the previous game when i was a townie but any of you didn't believe me, if you are a townie, you'll do us a favor to sacrifice for us, EM told you that, so why are you making stuff up like now you'r the vig,another thing CH was a scum, everyone in the same room was following him but you, seems pretty suspicious to me.

 

From my searchs in the bedroom i haven't find anything btw.

Narsis is right. There are two scum alive. Him and possibly Kazio.

 

While I agree that Narsis could be likely the scum, I disagree that I'm the scum.

Your theory could be right but instead of me who did it, it's Nerau.

 

You believe AKCPLUTO that Narsis was attacked on D1?

Remember on day 1 there were three people in the entrance...

 

Entrance: Nerau, Narsis, Kaziocore

 

Now what if you're theory is right that Narsis was attacked (-3 hp)?

My theory is that Nerau and Narsis went to the entrance to turn off all the lights.

They need two people so only one or two at most can search in the entrance.

Since Narsis would already switch the lights off, what Nerau could do is attack Narsis.

 

This could be the reason Narsis needed to justify that he has an item...

 

ok from the looks of it three people took damage last night. me, Persephone, and Curufinwe. and all three of us were in different rooms.

 

@ curufinwe and persephone: what did your night flavour stuff say about you getting hurt? does it say anything about getting hurt?

 

as for myself...it has to do with the item i found, but i dont want to reveal that until a bit later today.

 

Or if Nerau is not scum, instead of him hitting Narsis,

Narsis got electrocuted switching off the lights just like me when I switched on the lights.

Alright, I'll weight that into consideration.

Ok then who would be kindly enough to reveal that they are the mage? Hmm? I think nerau is the mage, but then again i could be wrong...

What's with the zebra? Is that a red herring?

No it's a costume. Both Vig's have it; one is a gorilla and the other a Zebra.

Move: Bedroom

 

Ok then who would be kindly enough to reveal that they are the mage? Hmm? I think nerau is the mage, but then again i could be wrong...

 

If i may ask what is the importance of this?

I will add that Theo and I picked our costumes. So, guess who picked what and guess who wanted to earn his stripes!

Move: Bedroom

 

 

 

If i may ask what is the importance of this?

Well I figured that person may be a townie or a vig because he did attack chaos before we all did. Just saying. Could there be a third one? Vig. I mean. Idk, just asking. for our info.

tho i still believe he is lying
