Karie's Cosplay Mafia: Sign-Ups and Prologue

[Kintobor]

Prologue

Kintobor gingerly carried his luggage out to the trunk of his car, watching his step as he made his way out of his house. His trip to the Far Far Away BrickCon had been a long time coming, and he was visibly excited for the road trip accompanying his time at one of the world's largest Lego conventions.

"No, wait, stop! You can't just leave me alone for who knows how long?" Karie rushed out of the house, following closely behind Kintobor. She was dressed in clothing more appropriate for a comic book convention than a normal Friday afternoon. "Look, can't you take a plane or something? Take me along with you or something?"

Kintobor turned around, trying to be as cordial as he could with his new housemate. 

"Look, Karie," Kinto explained, "I've had this trip planned for months, and you've known about me leaving to go to this convention for months. I know things haven't been great for you since Heroica ended, but I need time to focus on things other than planning more mafia games and occasionally finding myself playing in one. You need to find yourself a hobby, Karie, that doesn't involve you streaming yourself playing video games or being the deliverer of death in my mafia games. Perhaps if you need some help looking for one I can help you out during my trip."

"Yeah... whatever. Have fun on your trip, Kinto. Leaving me all alone in a house. By myself." Karie complained.

"You'll be fine. You have my cellphone number. If something comes up, give me a call. Feel free to invite people over, just..." Kinto paused himself, trying to find the words. "Don't make any big messes, okay?"

Kintobor got into his car after finishing loading his luggage. Waving goodbye to Karie, his vehicle sputtered down the road, leaving a trail of dust behind him. Karie was left watching her housemate drive away, left with her own thoughts. She was left with no real human interaction for who knows how long, in a rather cramped house. She could go back to playing video games on Twitch for cash, she thought. It was then, with the speed of a strike of lightning, that an idea entered Karie's brain. 

"No big messes? Hmm... Maybe I can do something fun while Kinto's away..."

Welcome to Karie's Cosplay Mafia: The House Party!  If you don't know who Karie is, don't worry. All you need to know is she's bored, and has free reign of a house for an undetermined amount of time. Sign ups will close next Friday, or until we get fifteen people. If we have more than fifteen I can accommodate. Here are your three questions you need to answer to be signed up:

1. Have you ever played Mafia before? If you answered yes, when was the last time you played on Eurobricks?

2. Do you have time to commit to a game of mafia? The game is expected to last roughly one month.

3. "Why should I invite you to my cosplay house party?" -Karie

Rules: (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 any of the above rules will result in a 5 vote penalty for the first offence, and death on your second offence.

12. There are no hints or clues in the day/night images.

[Chromeknight]

One month or so is ok.

Because I’m Shiny! (And I think you’ll get all three references)

1. Have you ever played Mafia before? If you answered yes, when was the last time you played on Eurobricks?

Yes, most recent was Forest 3 by the fantastic Hinckley.

That's not all you stole 

But good luck with the game   Real life commitments will keep me from playing, no matter how fun cosplay mafia is!

1. Yes, in Forest 3.

2. Yes, if I don't get distracted by watching other people play games on twitch or youtube, get preoccupied with refreshing facebook or just watch my dog, ehem, clean himself. In other words: Yes, I have time on my side.

3. Because I am the Prophet of Honesty. No I'm not, just kidding. I am the Lord of Chaos. And I make killer Bloody Marys.

[Kintobor]

We are one third of the way there!

Uh oh, I've been found out! 

Thank you! Cosplay mafia was my first game on Eurobricks, and I've got fond memories of it, def. 

[Trekkie99]

Bruh this party's gonna be a banger, but like, bruh, where is everyone bruh?

[Sandy]

1. I have indeed.  Last time was a year ago in Imperial Officers Mafia.

2. I have time to post at least once a day, no problem.

3. Why wouldn't you invite me?! We gays bring the fun where-ever we go! 

[Bob]

I’ll sign up! 

1) I recently played in The Forest

2) Certainly 

3) I don’t know if you should. I’m kind of a square.

[Kintobor]

We're at 9 players right now, and although I could run a game with 9 players, the more people I get the more roles I get to include.  I'll keep the sign ups open until we get at least 13, but 15 would be preferable.

[fhomess]

I'd love to join but I really can't commit to posting daily for the next month due to plans I have.  The rest of you need to sign up!

[Kintobor]

We're at nine people, and after two weeks I doubt we're getting anyone else.  I can run a nine person mafia game, but that's a little over half the people I was hoping for. Do we want to keep the sign ups open for another week, or just get the game started with what we have?

[Trekkie99]

Not sure what another week could give us that we don't already have so I say we start now. 

[Kintobor]

With the nine people we have, I'll start Karie's Cosplay Mafia. 

Expect confirmation to go out tomorrow as well as roles. 

[Hinckley]

You can count me in if you expect super low activity from me during the first two game days.
