Mafia School- Mad Monster Mansion: Day One

[Kintobor]

Day One: The Ghost and Mr. Kintobor

Guests arrived in a mass to the Mad Monster Mansion, ready for a night of food, dance, and music. The location was desolate and out of the way in a old, gnarled forest just south of the interstate. When they arrived after what felt like hours following an old, narrow trail, they found the old, derelict manor devoid of light, life or free food. The partygoers became distressed as they milled about in their costumes. Was this a trick? Was Kintobor lying about the party? Was this even the right house? It'd take hours to get back to their vehicles from which they got here.

A figure emerged into the crowd, his face featureless and his suit well tailored. He looked a little taller than the rest of the partygoers, but it might've been the light. He spoke in a strange voice.


"Mfphom pho phy phewly phurchased-"

"Take off that ridiculous mask, you look completely silly and we can't hear you!" Someone shouted from the crowd. The mask came off with a "shlurp" as the partygoers gracious host revealed himself.


"Sorry about that! Trying something a little new, is all. Welcome to my newly purchased mansion! I'm your host, Kintobor. Don't ask how I acquired this piece of property, just know that I bought it cheap enough that I managed to get this and several other really nifty costumes! Now then, I hate to say this, but I have some bad news. I just got off the phone with the local police chief. Apparently my mansion and the gold supposedly hidden inside are being targeted by a local mafia. After the tip off, the mafia killed the informant and drove here with invites they stole. They're probably with us right now. Violent criminals are here amongst us, dressed as monsters, and they want us, innocent townies dead. I know some of you are probably more familiar with such situations, but I feel now would be an excellent time to weed through ourselves and start finding out who amongst us is actually here with the intent to party."
Kintobor looks over his party guests, unsure over who he had given invites to and who was a mafia infiltrator.
"Well, it's a spooky costume party, so keep your costumes on. We can still have some amount of fun, even if there's criminals about."

Rules (These are 95% the same as the EB standard; deviations from the normal EB rules are struck-through) (Also, thanks Def. I'm stealing your rules.)

1. Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Town or the Scum. To win the game, the Town must kill off all the Scum, while the Scum needs to outnumber the Town.  Third-party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles.

2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player.  Voting is mandatory. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player).  No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to lynch a player. Failure to vote will incur a vote penalty the following game day.

3. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end when a majority vote has been reached after 72 hours. After the day has been concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 20 hours of the night stage.

3.5. Players may not target the same player two nights in a row, and may not target themselves.

4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day.

5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game host, or in PM with any other players. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage.

6. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game.

7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on.

8. You may not edit your posts.

9. You must post in every day thread. 

10. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host via PM

11. Violation of the above rules will result in a 5 vote penalty vote penalty per every 4 living players against you, and death on your second offence.

Hello, boys and girls! I see we have some new players with us. Gather around and your new friend Kintobor will give you some advice.

Should you lynch the first person who votes? No. This person is being productive by getting the town started in its day, and voting should be seen as pro-town. People who withhold their vote tend to do so for a reason. The first day lynch is almost always a townie, so don't feel too upset about it. Voting will help you later on, as it shows who voted for who, when they voted for who, and if they switched their vote. <Mafia members, consider voting for a teammate during the early game if possible. If they get lynched, you look good to the town, and if you get lynched, your teammate looks good to the town.>

Who should I vote for on Day One? Whoever gives you bad vibes. Are they being nonsensical? If you had to vote off someone today, knowing they might be town, who wouldn't make a big difference? Voting off scum is preferable, and always should be your goal, but sometimes you have to err on the side of safety. <Mafia, you're more or less safe as long as it isn't you. Don't go defending townies too strongly, though. It might look like a good idea, as you might think it'll make you look pro-town when the previous day's lynch turns up town. As Mafia members, you know who the other townies are, and this will backfire on you.>

How much role-play is too much? Look at it like this: roleplaying is the salad dressing on the salad. Go ahead and do so, just don't over do it, as that's not the focus of the game. The focus of the game is to outwit other humans. It's the focus and draw of Mafia as a game. Why did someone say this? Why did someone vote this way? What are people doing? These are questions you should be asking, not focusing on roleplaying.

I've got one last thing to say, and it was said by the great Def. Day One is building your fire, and Night One is lighting said fire. From there, everything will hopefully take shape. Send PMs to people you suspect and say you trust them, don't reveal too much, and most importantly, don't blab your role. DON'T BLAB YOUR ROLE. DO NOT BLAB YOUR ROLE DAY ONE. Kintobor will fail you from Mafia School.

As a note, all Roles used in this Mafia School game fall under the banner of Roles considered Explicit Normal from the MafiaScum Wiki: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Normal_Game If you haven't played Mafia in a while, it might be wise to check up on the site, as some roles have been removed from the list.

Other than that, have fun!
