Zepher Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) [banner Pending] The Story Once upon a time in the land of Mafia, a new Host was putting together a game! He had all the characters and everything, and was oh-so-excited. Things were looking up for him. But then, as one might suspect, he was murdered. It was a plot device. The murder was done by a bad group of nasty Mafia characters who decided that murdering each other over and over again wasn't really their thing anymore. This nasty group of 6 individuals decided they would break the cycle by breaking out a Mafia Land. But, of course, the loyal townies got in their way. Someone called up a new Host (Zepher) and asked if he couldn't lead a bit of a game to try to catch these scummy murderers in Mafia Land. Zepher arrived on the scene, ready to set up the game. Unfortunately, he found the office of the previous Host ransacked, and a copy of all of his notes missing. Zepher was distraught. Clearly, the scum had stolen the notes on the game and would know all the rules. Now, Zepher didn't want to design a whole new game (he was sort of lazy) and had been planning on simply copying the rules and roles that the old host had made up. Zepher decided that instead of making a new game, he'd just release the rules to everyone, to make it fair. THE DESIGN 23 Players 16 Town - 6 Scum - 1 SK The Day 24 Hour Safe Period - 48 Hour Voting Period - 24 Hour Night Period (With a full exciting 20 hour period to submit night actions!) Some time before the 24 Hour Mark, the Pill Cart will be rolled out. The time will be randomized each day, to be fair to timezones. The time will be chosen by Random.org. The Pills will effect that night or the following day. The Pills "God Pill" (Effect the following day, will not be removed from play) - 2 Uppers (Night action may be used twice) - 2 Lifesavers (Will be safe from a kill that night) - 16 Placebos (No Effect) - 2 Downers (Night action may not be performed) -If a person holding a pill is lynched or killed, the pill is removed from play- The Night Actions Town and Scum have NEARLY IDENTICAL ROLES with only a few tweaks to change for their sides. JOAT Town: Investigator/Protector Scum: Framer (2 Shot)/Protector/Janitor (1 Shot) Role Cop Killer Blocker Inventor Can invent a net (blocker), shield (protector), magnifying glass (investigation), or pistol (kill action). Bulletproof. Inscrutable (all investigation attempts including role cop will come up as "unsuccessful"). The inventor may either gift his invention, or create a new one, he may not do both on the same night. Universal Back-Up -When a scum with an action dies, the scum team may choose to drop an action and retain the one they would have lost.- Serial Killer Bulletproof. Hard to Read (If an investigator investigates him, the result will be "unsuccessful", but a role cop will receive the result of "killer".). Killer Role PM's Town: Character - Town - Night Action(s) Scum: Character - Scum - Night Action(s) - List of Fellow Scum's Names SK: Character - SK - Night Actions Win Conditions Town: Kill the Scum + SK Scum: Outnumber the Town + SK SK: Two other players alive, with no other win conditions met. THE CAST (In the Order I thought them up) (Please remember, with the system being totally random, the characters have nothing to do with affiliation/NA) The Night Action Blacked-Out Dude (Bob) - A fiend in the evening. The Role Cop (KielDaMan) - Watches you while you don't sleep. The Godfather (Kadabra) - Doesn't he look like a pretty normal dude? Just wearing a track suit or something. Clearly not a mob boss. The Cult Leader (Rufus) - Rather mysterious. The Cultist (Fred Daniel Yam) - Rather less mysterious. The Serious Roleplayer (Tamamono) - By day he may be a construction worker, but in his heart, he's a pirate. The NPC (Esurient) - Not a player. Seriously, look, he's clearly not supposed to be voted for. Not a player. Maybe we should vote for him. The Doctor (Piratedave84) - Damn it, Jim, I'm not a Doctor! The Jester (CallMePie) - My role never serves any purpose! The Cop (def) - Doesn't mess around. The Goon (fhommess) - Grrrrr. The Male Lover (LegoDad) - Works at a Pizza Shop! Loves his wife. Might die without her. The Female Lover (Hinckley) - Works as a telemarketer. Loves her husband. Might die without him. The Vanilla Townie (Kristel) - His favorite flavor of ice cream is ironically chocolate. The Serial Killer (Walter Kovacs) - I'm murdering them all because they're different than me. The PGO (Purpearljellyblob) - Serving some time for accidentally shooting all of his neighbors. The Witch (Waterbrick Down) - Pretty sure that everyone else is also witches. The Usurper (TrumpetKing) - Only dresses like you because he admires you, not because he wants to be you! The Treestump (Adam) - Has very little to say. Don't stand too closely. He may explode. The Snake Charmer (Darth Potato) - Every town has a snake charmer. Didn't you know that? The Talking Animal (mostlytechnic) - A staple of every normal society. Range from camels to Fabuland critters to this thing. The Virgin (Clanure) - Don't f*ck with him. First Day Lynch (Jamesn) - I'm neW @round h3r3!!!!!!! i hope w3 @LL get along !!!!!!!

Walter Kovacs Posted May 22, 2013 The Serial Killer is in the house. The Jester here! Somebody kill me, please!! I certainly will. After all, you are different from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CMP Posted May 22, 2013 I certainly will. After all, you are different from me. I was thinking in more of a lynching kind of way. Don't you wanna lynch me? Doesn't my heedless grin make you want to just scream out in fury? Would you feel more fulfilled if you were to simply fry my brains out with a toaster in a bathtub, or have the entire town burn me at the stake as me and my silly hat shrivel up like a burnt french fry? I think you all know the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted May 22, 2013 I am the Female lover. I love my husband. Who the hell is my husband? I'm married to LEGODad, yayz! I have a bro-crush on him anyway. I mean, I'm a lady. I don't know why I'd refer to myself as a bro. Cool. I wonder if his kids are my kids...probably not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will be a long game! Quick question for the host/experienced players: When the pill cart rolls out, do we pick the pills? Is it first come first serve? Can you miss it altogether!? Quick question for the host/experienced players: When the pill cart rolls out, do we pick the pills? Is it first come first serve? Can you miss it altogether!? I went and read a day of Prison Riot; will this be similar where each pill will be randomly assigned to a name and then a preset order will determine who picks what?
