Mafia IX - Valentines Day Massacre - Sign up CLOSED!

[Andre Fairchilde]

Sign up for Mafia IX. Same rules as Mafia VIII.

Notes -
Takes place in 1929 in psuedo reality of The City.

RPing is welcome! But please don't overdo it. There's over 30 other players as well.

Post points in RED to make it easy for narrators to tabulate votes.

If you change your vote make a new post with your new vote and then go back to your original post strike out your vote, and get rid of the red.

The Game (and you just lost The Game :smallwink:) has pretty strict autolynch requirements.

Days are 48 hours, Nights are 24 hours. Get your actions in on time, or better yet, send them in early.

If a player doesn't vote two consecutive days, they will be autolynched - UNLESS they have posted in both the game thread and WW Central that they will be absent for (X) number of days.

[The Neoclassic]

I've not played Mafia on the forums before (though I have played online via facebook with friends in the past, so I am familiar with how the game works). If you are accepting new players, I'd love to participate.

[Andre Fairchilde]

You're in! Welcome! This one has two rival mafia factions, each with a night kill. Also, 48 hours of voting, with 24 hours for night actions. I'm pretty strict about it, barring forums going down due to new comic posting.

[Darkcomet]

DC likes rather non-standard games. Since this has two mafias, this would be one of them.

DC is in.

[Ganurath]

My arm is healed, and I'm ready to get involved once again.

[ThePhantom]

I love this game, so much good roleplaying. I'm in.

[Recaiden]

I'm in. Maybe we'll last longer this time around.

[Shadowcaller]

DC likes rather non-standard games. Since this has two mafias, this would be one of them.

DC is in.

Non-standard games? Maffia may be one of the most standard game there is:smallwink:.

Anyway, I'm in.

[Uncle Festy]

In!
Oh, and Andre? The times, they are a changin… (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/announcement.php?f=50&a=41)

[Dallas-Dakota]

As I said to you on msn, I'm in.

[Dr. Bath]

Oh go on then.

[Shades of Gray]

I'm in, with a vengeance!

[Darkcomet]

Non-standard games? Maffia may be one of the most standard game there is:smallwink:.

Anyway, I'm in.

Two mafias is standard? :smallconfused:

[Emperor Demonking]

Sign me up.

[Zar Peter]

And I'm in, too.

[Mordokai]

Yeah, sure, I'll join.

Maybe I'll finally get that mafia role I crave for :smalltongue:

[Alarra]

count me in...of course.

[UncleWolf]

What the heck. I'll play(and likely die).

[Murska]

Survived last time, of course I'm in. :smallwink:

[Deathslayer7]

In again. :smallbiggrin:

Maybe the government might do a good job this time Ganurath.... :smallannoyed:

*Goes to poke BR*

[Hyozo]

I'll join this one.

[Thes Hunter]

Sure, though I run the risk of over extending myself, getting games confused with each other and etc. But you run a good game, and I would hate to pass it up.

[PhantomFox]

Eh, what the heck, I'll give this a shot even though dual wolf groups confuse me.

[Ganurath]

In again. :smallbiggrin:

Maybe the government might do a good job this time Ganurath.... :smallannoyed:

*Goes to poke BR*The police department had kept me out of the loop. You can expect a much more active administration now, though. The enviromental lobby wants to build a new park, but those taxpayer dollars are going toward law enforcement. They'll have to settle for a cleanup of the current city park.

[Fin]

In, with Cake!

[The Bushranger]

*is poked*

I'm always in for Mafia. :smallbiggrin:

[Selrahc]

I'm in.

Is it still the mummies versus the mafia?

[Jontom Xire]

Ooh, definitely in. I got killed night one in the last one (or maybe night two - certainly quick enough that I didn't get to play at all). Please, bad guys, let me live a little while this time round!

In fact I seem to remember that in the previous one I also got killed really early - by both sets of bad guys on the same night!!!

[Amplify]

I'm in for sure.

[Reinholdt]

WW game? In.
*hides from Atreyu*

[Dirk Kris]

SOOOOOO in.

[Helgraf]

They knew I would be there; they all knew that there was no way to keep me out.

[Mustiado]

In! Oh hey Reinholdt! Let's RP something fun in thi-- *is mercilessly beaten with sticks for suggesting something he failed at before*

[PhantomFox]

I'm wondering about RPing as Jade again, since I lost track of what was happening the last time I played. She fits the atmosphere, but is not that nice a person...

[evnafets]

Sign me up please.

[Andre Fairchilde]

RPing is fine - we all know that characters have nothing to do with the assigned roles (right? right? :-) ) Just don't get carried away and iterfere with the voting.

However, a clever wolf will use *anything* to cloud the role.

[Kwarkpudding]

Alright, I'm in.

[Shishnarfne]

Mafia?
I'll be there.

[Reinholdt]

In! Oh hey Reinholdt! Let's RP something fun in thi-- *is mercilessly beaten with sticks for suggesting something he failed at before*
I'd be fine with reprising my role as Jonathan Carnahan, the twin. The pretty one at that. :smalltongue:
Besides we both lived. :smallcool:

[Boo]

In with blue paint.

[Istari]

In and I promise not to get autoed that time

[Lex-Kat]

In, just to try it. Out.

[Aemoh]

In, says I.

[UncleWolf]

So is it just the two wolf groups?

[ThePhantom]

Helgraf for mayor! Or I am a little early?:smallbiggrin:
So, who are the two groups of Mafia?

[Ganurath]

Helgraf for mayor! Or I am a little early?:smallbiggrin:A little late, actually. :smallamused:

[Deathslayer7]

You lost a supporter here! :smallannoyed:

Locking up an innocent women! Shame on you!

[The Bushranger]

Yeah! :smallannoyed::smalltongue:

[KerfuffleMach2]

If there's still room, I'm in. I had fun last time. Though, I still haven't gotten my trophy yet...*whistles innocently*

[Ganurath]

You lost a supporter here! :smallannoyed:

Locking up an innocent women! Shame on you!Who? I don't recall personally signing any documents to that effect. Forced out of the loop, remember?

[SweetLikeLemons]

Ooh, me! I want to play!

[Trixie]

If there's still room please count me in :P

[UncleWolf]

Hmm, I think more people will sign up if I bump this up a bit.

*bump*

[androgial]

in

maybe actually win one and survive this time around

[Mountain_Faerie]

I'd love to play. Do we know the starting date for the game??

[Mordokai]

I'd like to withdraw please? Thank you.

[Andre Fairchilde]

I'd like to withdraw please? Thank you.

Done! :smallwink:

[Supagoof]

In like Fin.


However, a clever wolf will use *anything* to cloud the role.
Shhhhhhhhhh! :smallamused:

Now I suppose I should go read the first post and see what the setting is for this round. :smallwink:

Edit: Ah, there is no setting. Okay, gonna play this one like in SIN CITY (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/). The champ is back, Marv style....

"This is blood for blood and by the gallon. These are the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days. They're back! There's no choice left. And I'm ready for war. "

[TRM]

In, if I can.

[Reinholdt]

*looks*
Bah! I gotta cut back.

I choose to get out of this one to keep the seer win from last time unblemished.
>>
<<
So, best of luck everyone.
*withdraws*

[Andre Fairchilde]

Bummer! No problem!

[Fostire]

Can I still join this? if so, IN.

[Numberfourteen]

/In!!

My message is too short, I must add more characters!

[Cynan Machae]

Sign me in :smallsmile:

[Ranna]

why not, i'll come back and play :smallwink:

[Deathslayer7]

so does recruitment go on till feburary? :smallconfused:

[The Bushranger]

Mafia recruitment usually runs for quite a while, yeah.

[Noir_Cat]

I would like to play, if there is still room that is.

Would anyone happen to have a link to the Mafia game mentioned in the OP?

[Wreckingrocc]

In with cookies.

[PhantomFox]

I would like to play, if there is still room that is.

Would anyone happen to have a link to the Mafia game mentioned in the OP?

Check the first page of Werewolf Central. Shadow is generous and keeps archive links to all the old games of yore.

[Noir_Cat]

Found it, thank you!

[Lex-Kat]

In with cookies.

*Steals the cookies*

[Andre Fairchilde]

so does recruitment go on till feburary? :smallconfused:


Recruiting goes right up until the Friday before the game starts. I send out the roles first thing on Saturday morning (here in the U.S.) and the first day of voting lasts through the Monday until the first lynch. Every other day after that (barring real life issues, or comic updates) it will be 48 hour day phase / 24 hour night phase.

[purple gelatinous cube o' Doom]

Seeing as it's been ages since I've played in one, I guess I'll join in.

[Kwarkpudding]

I'd like to withdraw too, please.

[Lex-Kat]

On second thought, I won't be able to play this one. Sorry. :smallfrown:

[Madmal]

[Doseki]

In in in in in

That is all.

[Ganurath]

[PhantomFox]

Ravens are better than both of them. :biggrin:

[UncleWolf]

Ravens are better than both of them. :biggrin:

Whoot!:smallbiggrin:

[KerfuffleMach2]

Wait a minute. I did say I would join last page. I think you might've forgotten to add me to the list, Andre. So, here's a reminder.

[Boo]

Take me off the recruitment list, please. Busy semester starts tomorrow.

[whitehelm]

I'm back, and in.

[Fostire]

In like Al Capone in a speakeasy.

[TRM]

Uhm, if it's possible, I would like to withdraw from this game. I'm dangerously low on time as it is, and I know I won't be able to contribute to any WW right now and will probably just get autolynched, hurting everyone.

[Andre Fairchilde]

This is the third time I've tried to post this!

This is the second time I've tried to post this!
Thanks ZP!

I'm finding it obscenely hard to make postings since the thread problems.

I tried for several weeks to make posts for the various comics, but for some reason they have not been posting.

Even now I can't use the little angry face for this post :-0

So, that all said, I have very high standards for my updates - and I will apologize now if I can't get them online "on time".

[UncleWolf]

If it goes to a screen saying that the signal was interrupted or something like that, hit the Back button and then hit the Forward button. If it says that it needs to resend information, click resend. That is how I get by it.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Yeah, can you be lenient on the autolynch?
Ever since the purge the forums been acting bad for me.
It was better before that since around January 10th orso. But that was apparently only me who stopped having forum troubles.
Now they're back.:smalleek::smallsigh::smallfrown:

[Andre Fairchilde]

We might very well have to be lenient on the autolynch for this game.

(First post attempt.)

[Andre Fairchilde]

Sign up closed.

Roles to come in 12 hours. Thread to be up shortly.

:smallwink:

[Andre Fairchilde]

I've been having a lot o problems posting and pming today, and have two sick family members.

I've posted the game thread - but not everyone has their roles yet. Feel free to post on the game thread, but there is no set time/date for the first lynch yet.

Don't start voting until we say so; the first post will be updated with narration as soon as I can.

[Eldritch Knight]

No! No! NOOOO! Damn my RL issues keeping me from the boards.. Oh well. Have fun everyone.

[Andre Fairchilde]

I'd rather play on a new thread, but here are the rules.

All roles *should* be out - please let me know if you didn't get your role.

The Rules


Rules -
Rule 1 – Don’t sign up unless you’re willing to play any role. You are not allowed to give up your roles.

Rule 2 –Read your PMs. You may receive a message, or be killed, and it won’t be broadcasted to the game. Read your PMs before you check the updates to see if you’ve been killed.

Rule 3 - This is a game based on turns - 48 hour day phases (comic updates notwithstanding) and 24 hour night phases.

Rule 4 - We are using "Helgraf's Interference rule" for multiple scries. If more than one person scries the same person (i.e. Mafia VI when 3 (!) people scried Shadow on Night 1) then the results for all scries is "Undetermined" or something to that effect.

Rule 5 – Due to the Abduction rules, if you’ve been killed in game PLEASE DON’T POST IN THE THREAD UNTIL YOUR BODY IS FOUND.

We reserve the right to add more rules, especially if someone tries to break our game.

SITE ACCESS ALLOWING Autolynches are enforced for every two day phases without a vote. Pointing at yourself doesn't count. If you don't think you can post once every five days, expect to be autolynched. This is after all a turn-based game with winners and losers, which has elements of team work, subterfuge, and a time limit. These time limits are enforced to maintain game balance.
______________________________________________

Roles:
Masons – The Untouchables (Good Guys). Traditional mason role. These are the good guys brought in by the FBI to investigate the shooting of Agent Fairchilde and bring down the mobs responsible. (Scry as Masons)

As the Seer you are allied with the Citizens, J Edgar Hoover and Untouchables, and the Informants. You may make one Scry a night and have 100% accurate results. Your win conditions are: Eliminating both groups of Wolves – Capone Mob and the Northside Mob. (Scries as Seer).

Allied with the Citizens, Commissioner Gordon, J Edgar Hoover and Untouchables, but does not start out knowing who they are

If the Informant is killed by the mob that wants him or her/lynched/or autolynched that mob get’s 1 free scry to be used whenever they’d like.

Example of play – The Informant connected to the Northside Mob is lynched duiring the day phase; the Northside Mob now receive 1 free scry in the night phase. If that informant is killed by the “wrong” mob, the no one get’s a scry..

Citizen (Villagers)
These are the everyday members of society. They usually play by the rules and follow the law; however, that isn't to say that when an opportunity comes along to get a leg up they wouldn't take advantage.

You may vote once per day phase to try to make this city a better place. Allied with the J Edgar Hoover, Elliot Ness, Commissioner Gordon, the Informants, and the Untouchables, but does not start out knowing who they are. (Scry as Citizens)

Winning the Game: The Citizens win if they successfully eliminate both the Capone Moba and the Northside Mob.

The Bad Guys

The Northside Mob- .

Boss Dion O’Bannion - The Northside Boss (Alpha_. Sends in the nightly kills, or designates one of the other Northsiders to do so. (Scries as “Citizen”).

“Bugs” Moran – Northside Consigliore (Devil). 100% scry once per night. If he dies, the Northsiders lose their ability to Scry. (Scries as ““Bugs” Moran – Northside Consigliore”).

Northsiders (Northside Mob - Mafia)
The other members of the Northsiders - standard wolf role, counting towards victory. (Scries as Northside Mob – Wolf)

Northside’s Victory Conditions: Eliminate the Capone Mob and equal or outnumber all other factions at the end of the game.

The Northside Mob have two options for their night kill:
Public killing – The public killing is a message to the citizenry to stay out of the way, and accept things the way they are. Traditional night kill, body left in the street, etc. Usually very messy and a loud statement.

OR - Abduction
The Wolves send in the kill saying they want to abduct and kill a player. If the player is not protected (baned) in the night phase – they disappear. The player will be PM’d they’ve been killed, and the body will turn up two or three day phases later.

I.E. If a player is abducted Night 1, the body will turn up the morning of Day 3-4. This is why it is very very important to NOT SPEAK IN THE GAME IF YOU HAVE BEEN KILLED. Don’t worry, the body will turn up.

The Capone Mob (Capone Mobsters - Mafia):

Al “Scarface” Capone – (Capone Mob Alpha) Calls the hits, runs the city.(Scries as “Citizen”).

Frank “The Enforcer” Nittii The Consigliore - Falcone Mob Devil - 100% scry once per night. If he dies, the Mafia lose their ability to Scry. (Scries as “Frank “The Enforcer” Nittii The Consigliore - Falcone Mob Devil”)

Capone Mob Gangster.
Standard wolf role, counting towards victory.
(Scries as “Mafia – Capone Mob”)

Mafia Victory Conditions: Eliminate the Northside Mob and equal or outnumber all other factions at the end of the game.

Capone's mob has two options for their night kill:
Public killing – The public killing is a message to the citizenry to stay out of the way, and accept things the way they are. Traditional night kill, body left in the street, etc. Usually very messy and a loud statement.

OR – Abduction
The Wolves send in the kill saying they want to abduct and kill a player. If the player is not protected (baned) in the night phase – they disappear. The player will be PM’d they’ve been killed, and the body will turn up two or three day phases later.

I.E. If a player is abducted Night 1, the body will turn up the morning of Day 3-4. This is why it is very very important to NOT SPEAK IN THE GAME IF YOU HAVE BEEN KILLED. Don’t worry, the body will turn up.
