Mafia Game 115 - Inscryption

Host:

@GrySun

If you would like to play next time, please announce your participation in the Mafia Game "Discussion" Thread​

Mafia Rules

Spoiler: MH Mafia Game Rules

Spoiler: General rules

Players will be secretly assigned roles. One group will play the "Mafia"; the other group will play the "Townies". The Townies will not know who other Townies or Mafia members are. However the Mafia members will know who their fellow Mafia members are.

During the "day" phase, all of the players debate the identities of the Mafia members and at the end each person will vote to eliminate a suspect. This is carried out in the "game thread". In the game's "night" phase the Mafia will privately discuss who they should kill. They will then send this person’s name to the host, as well as other actions. The goal of the Town is to eliminate every single Non-Town Faction. The goal of the Non-Town Factions is not only to have an equal number of members as remaining Townies, but also to completely kill off all the other Non-Town Factions, except explicitly stated otherwise.

A typical game will start with a minimum of 7 players, 5 Townies and 2 Mafia members. The members that will be Mafia and Townies will be chosen through a random list generator. There the participating players' names will be put in and after the randomisation the Mafia roles will go to the names at the top of the list. This is to avoid butthurt and favouritism accusations. :'[

Lastly, the numbers of Mafia Members depends on the number of participants!

• 7 - 10 = 2 Mafias
• 11 - 13 = 3 Mafias
• 14 - 17 = 4 Mafias
• 18 - 20 = 5 Mafias
• 21 - 24 = 6 Mafias
  etc.

This number is only for guidance, there can be more/less mafias than written here depending on the other roles in the game like two mafia groups, recruitable roles etc.

Spoiler: Game phases

The game will be split up into two phases: Day and Night.

PHASE 1: DAY
This is where you discuss/argue about who is and isn't mafia. As soon as the day phase starts, you are allowed to vote. The day phase will take place strictly inside the “game” thread. Any discussions regarding the day phase outside the thread will be dealt with severely.
The length of a Day phase is set by the host, usually starting at ~24 hours and getting shorter the less players remain alive.
VOTE KILL [user]
This will be the manner in which you vote. Make sure it is clearly displayed in your post though caps/coloured or bold font.
You will be only allowed 1 vote change per phase. So use your vote wisely.
PHASE 2: NIGHT
The host closes the game thread during the night phases.
There should be no discussion about the game during the night phase, regardless of the player being still in the game or already out.

During the night phase, the mafia members will collaborate and choose who they want to kill. They will not do this in the thread, but via PM's with each other/other alternative communication channels approved by the host, such as piratepad.

At the beginning of the game the Mafia members will be informed of the other members. They must PM the host telling them their choice for the night's murder and the murderer from their team. There can only be one murder in the night phase therefore the mafia members must come to an agreement.

If the Mafia don't send in their night kill before the night phase ends, then their action will not be performed. The Mafia can also send in their night actions during the previous day phase, if they think they will not be online during the coming night.

The length of a Night phase is set by the host, usually ~12 hours.

Spoiler: Specific MH Mafia rules

ACTIVITY RULES

• Be active in every day phase and post at least three times. It's a Minor Violation if you don't do that and will result in Penalty Vote(s)/Hostkill and ban from future games (Hall of Shame). If you are going to miss out a period of time due to real life events make sure to inform the host, who is going to judge each situation individually and decide whether or not taking the player out of the game is necessary.
• Place at least one vote every day phase. It's a Minor Violation if you forget to place a vote and will result in Penalty Vote(s)/Hostkill and ban from future games (Hall of Shame).
• Don't post more than 100 times per day phase. This is to reduce spam and the volume of posts per game. Nobody has time to go through hundreds of one liner posts with the same content over and over again (Imperium Copyright Rule). If you hit the volume restriction, it's a Minor Violation. You will get a Penality Vote per 10 additional posts you make.
• No talking during Night Phases, except for some roles that it is explicitly allowed and encouraged to. The Night phases are only to send in Night Actions. The scale of punishment for players who are caught discussing game content in the night may vary from Minor Violation to instant Hostkill, depending on the seriousness of the comment and/or warnings given before.
• Dead people can't talk, so don't post once your character is dead. You are not allowed to help or influence others in any way if you are dead, including liking posts in the game thread or discussing game content in the Discussion thread. You can, however, lurk the game thread. If you post or influence the game regardlessly, you will be banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

OUTER THREAD RULES

• Absolutely DO NOT discuss the game outside of the game thread (unless you are Mafia members discussing it with other mafia through pms/piratepad). This is so that people do not reveal their roles and ruin the game. Players violating this rule will be instantly hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
• Do not directly comment on the current game, once you are dead. This is so you don't influence the players that are still playing. Violator of this rule will be banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

OTHER GAME RULES

• Post at least 3 times and Vote at least once every Day Phase.
• Don't post more than 100 times per day phase.
• No talking during the Night Phases, no talking about the game outside the game thread and no talking if you are dead.
• You are not allowed to quote or screenshot PMs relating to the game, this includes quoting your Host, your role PM, or any private communication with other players. (You may, however, paraphrase in a way that leaves room for reasonable doubt). This also includes describing unimportant PM-details(color/font of text, fluff pics etc.) with intent to confirm your PM contents. If you do, you will be hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame). Fake screenshots and quotes will be treated the same as genuine ones.
• Daytime-specific commands cannot be used in the last hour of the day phase.
• Following the basic forum rules and the Fun Forum guideline, players are not allowed to insult nor bash each other, this will not be tolerated and will be punished. The infraction will follow the standard host approach for minor violations, favouring the host's discretion.
• You are not allowed to ignore directions sent in to you by the host. It's a Minor Violation if you fail to respond accordingly.
• You are not allowed to majorly edit the content of your posts, nor delete any of your own or someone else's post without the Host's approval. If you do, you may get a Minor Violation punishment or hostkilled immediately and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
• You are expected to play to your win condition(s). Intentionally undermining your team or joining a game with the sole intent to troll is not allowed. ("Bad" or "alternative" plays, however, are allowed, if you sincerely believe in their merit.) Remember that while you are playing for fun, others take the game seriously. Please do not play against your win condition or play in a manner that is deliberately harmful to your side, regardless of how small your chances are. (This infraction will follow the host's judgment or, if needed a second opinion, the Council's. It's recommended that the hosts don't do anything with the infractor during the game and only do so once the game is over.)

RULE BREAKING, PUNISHMENT & HALL OF SHAME

• Minor Violations are "small rules violations", which do not result in a hostkill instantly, but are sanctioned with Penalty Votes first. For the first Minor Violation you get 1 Penalty Vote, for the second you get 3 Penalty Votes and the third gets you hostkilled. Three Minor Violations of any kind are a Major Violation and will lead to a hostkill.
• If you disobey the rules above that are resulting with you being host killed and/or banned from future games, you will get registered in the Hall of Shame.
• One Major Violation bans you from the upcoming game.
• A second Major Violation of the same kind will ban you from the next three games.
• A third Major Violation and you are out from all upcoming games.
• No amnesty or prescription until further notice.

Spoiler: Specific MH hosting regulations

DAY PHASES & VOTINGS

• Each active player has to vote during a day phase. Each player has the chance to change his vote once.
• A day phase can be ended earlier, if and only if one player has collected more than a half+1 of the second votes ("locked votes") of all players and each player has voted at least once (Absolute Majority Voting).
• If by the end of the regular time of the day phase two or more players have the same amount of votes, the second votes ("locked votes") are decisive. The player with the most locked votes is being lynched.
• If one or more players have the same amount of votes and locked votes, the time of the regular day phase won't be extended. The lynch will be randomised among these top voted players.

NIGHT PHASES & ACTIONS

• During the night phase each player that has a role with a night action may send it in to the host via PM.
• The player may or may not make use of his action. If the player misses the deadline and does not submit his action within the given time, it is seen as not used action. It is possible, however, to submit it before the start of the night, if the player already knows he has no time to do it later.
• The night actions are listed in Priority groups. The higher the priority ranking, the more likely it is that the night action is being executed successfully. First actions to be performed are those from P1, then P2 and ending with P3.
• If two night action roles from the same priority group target the same player at night a coin flip will decide which night action is executed first.

MG115 Rule Notice

Some months ago the following roles were voted to be changed by majority but nobody added it to the rules thread. Consider it changed for this game, and rules thread will be adjusted later.

• Bomb Defuser (Townie): The Bomb Defuser can every night target a player to attempt to defuse any Bomb the player has and the Bomb's ability will be gone. If he successfully defuses a Bomb his ability cannot be used anymore and is notified by the host. UPDATED
• Mafia Bomb Defuser (Mafia): The Mafia Bomb Defuser can every night target a player to attempt to defuse any Bomb the player has and the Bomb's ability will be gone. If he successfully defuses a Bomb his ability cannot be used anymore and is notified by the host. Other than that the Mafia Bomb Defuser is a normal Mafia Member. UPDATED

Paths

​

• Every Day phase each player chooses a Path that they want to traverse by PMing the host. You have time to choose a path until the Day ends. If no path is chosen one is picked at random.​
• When Night starts, everyone is PMed by the host what Event their path lead to. Events can have various positive or negative effects, affect the player or allow the player to affect others. Some could be temporary roles, permanent roles or not role related effects. Some are minor, others stronger. Possible Event effects are generally the same for everyone, with few exceptions.​
• Events sometimes involve a Choice the player must make during the Night. If no choice is made one is picked at random.​
• The paths available to you always depend on which path you took the day before. Everyone starts with the same options at the beginning, but different choices branch out into different paths.​
• At the start of each Day from Day 2 onwards, each player is shown in their PM what paths they can choose from. The path's Event is described but not in full detail. Events may reappear on a later Day on the same or different path.​
• Events can aid in winning if used properly, but it won't replace having to play Mafia Game as usual.​

Story

Ah, another challenger! Hm... usually there is only one player at a time.

But no matter, we can play differently for once. I will turn you all into cards, including some of my subordinates.

Do you know Mafia Game? Find out who among you are my subordinates and remove them from the deck. If you remove them all before they remove you, you win.

If you succeed I will turn you back into your normal forms. If you fail you will join my collection.

...

Stop shaking. The only thing you have to fear is your own inadequacy.

Behold me. I am Leshy, The Scrybe of Beasts.

Day 1 ends in 24 hours.

Day 1 End countdown​

Day 1 paths

The sun rose over the sleepy firs... Birds fluttered across the paths of wolves and elk... You were embarking upon... the Woodlands.

These are your 4 choices to start with.

Card choice	Choose an effect that only lasts the same Night and the following Day.
Trapper	Take a gamble for a permanent benefit. The strongest effect has a low chance to happen, the weaker one is the most likely.
Prospector boulder	Take a gamble for a permanent effect. The strongest effect has better chances to be obtained, but all other possible effects are not beneficial.
Woodcarver	Start building a totem. No effect until the totem is complete, but a strong effect once complete.

​

​

 

[Shad]

lol love the ideas, will need to reread but i think this is right.

Events can aid in winning if used properly, but it won't replace having to play Mafia Game as usual.

I'm a vanilla town, since the mechanic doesn't change this fact, no point not saying it as it is.

 

[Xadyu]

First post immediately claiming vanilla. Oh joy.

Permanent benefit maybe means roles or role like effects, temp/perma roles

When Night starts, everyone is PMed by the host what Event their path lead to. Events can have various positive or negative effects, affect the player or allow the player to affect others. Some could be temporary roles, permanent roles or not role related effects. Some are minor, others stronger. Possible Event effects are generally the same for everyone, with few exceptions.

2, 3 and 4 all get you these roles, 4 guarantees a strong one, 3 is very confusing, not beneficial for who?

• The paths available to you always depend on which path you took the day before. Everyone starts with the same options at the beginning, but different choices branch out into different paths.​
• At the start of each Day from Day 2 onwards, each player is shown in their PM what paths they can choose from. The path's Event is described but not in full detail. Events may reappear on a later Day on the same or different path.​

I like this idea, curious to see the path tree at the end of the game.

My opinion is all take the 4th path if you are not in rush.

1st and 2nd, if you have a role that needs to secure few days to gather info.

3rd path, is very scary, the only negative effect I can think of is freeman and deathimiller, way to risky, could back fire horribly, option 4 sounds better.

Assuming no host shenanigans.

First post immediately claiming vanilla. Oh joy.

New meta, I'm looking forward to seeing how you do it

 

[SirSamuel016]

Aw fuck yeah I'm a fuckin STOAT

I am also a Vanilla Townie which makes sense given the mechanic seems to be earning roles through the Day paths

 

[wojak]

Kingfisher it is.

I like the mechanics

--- Double Post Merged, Sep 16, 2023, Original Post Date: Sep 16, 2023 ---

Too many vanilla latte.....straigjht from the beginning

 

[Shad]

Aw fuck yeah I'm a fuckin STOAT

I don't think the setup is a bunch of townies.

It makes more sense for players to have roles and complement them with the mechanic.

Like getting a bullet proof temp and secondary for 1 night for a investigative role.

No way we are all vanilla and detective/spy/doc are gonna drop night 3 onward.

--- Double Post Merged, Sep 16, 2023, Original Post Date: Sep 16, 2023 ---

@SirSamuel016 me no like your claim, let see if you are right about everybody being vanilla.

 

[Evil3ye]

Hi all. I have the Bomb Defuser role, not a vanilla, but this shit so weak so is definitely upgradeable. But don't kill me pls.

VOTE KILL SHAD

Best D1 choice as always.

 

[Shad]

VOTE KILL SHAD

Best D1 choice as always.

Upgradable to what? Bomb planter xD

Very good claim if not counter claimed, I want to believe you because your vote makes sense to me ^^

This mechanic looks similar to civ game, but instead of gradually getting stronger, it based on a mix of picking a path and rolling the right effect.l (luck).

What do you think?

 

[Evil3ye]

Think is bit similar albeit less transparent. From tomorrow on anyone can claim anything and get away with it. Which is why you must die now.

Low key wanting to start building that totem thing but knowling my typically short lifespam, I will have some few more thoughts on it before day rollover.

For setup, being Town am sorta not sure what the Bomb would be. Would they put an other Town Bomb, or rather Mafia Bomb. Sorta wasn't very keen on even using my role when I read PM as Town Bomb often kills Mafias at night, but Mafia Bomb would benefit Town from being Defused, so... Maybe just try my look and look a bit for it.

But I like that the Bomb threat will most likely now make some last second blitzes hesitant, so maybe I just don't. Mhh choices

 

[Xadyu]

I kept re-reading Gry's post, because it all sounds so simple, yet I have no idea what the fuck is going on or what this theme is.

Of course, I'm a vanilla town, since the mechanics do something or nothing.


VOTE KILL SIRSAMUEL016

 

[Evil3ye]

Ok, so we have claims 4/13

-Shad Vanilla
-Sam Vanilla
-Evil Bomb Defuser
-Xadyu Vanilla

9 to go weeeh

Seem kinda fake, think most likely we'll just keep having a Vanilla claim train, which makes first claimers maybe bit less sus.

 

[Xadyu]

If we're doing a train, can I be the caboose.

I'm just going with the flow now, it's been a while since I played an MG ( ).
The theme kind of throws me off as well, since I'm unfamiliar with it.

So I'm spreading the love and going for Sammy instead of Shaddy.

--- Double Post Merged, Sep 16, 2023, Original Post Date: Sep 16, 2023 ---

Some of these character pics don't make sense, but I can definitely understand the Opossum.

Why the fuck am I an egg tho.

If you actually lynch me, then take the 4th option, nobody would night kill a bomb defuser that lynched a town D1..

You are casually saying, let make it about shad and sam xD how about you search for others reasons to vote



3 vanilla changes things, I will rethink this later and vote who ever is faking.



Night.

 

[Xadyu]

You are casually saying, let make it about shad and sam xD how about you search for others reasons to vote

Okay. Let's make it about Shad, Sam and Evil.
Or me, if you're feeling lucky, punk.

There's nothing else going on yet.

 

[Evil3ye]

So, no opinion on the wojerk guy who came and said nothing? Interesting.

 

[Xadyu]

Yes, so sus. I don't even know who that is though, but sure, add him to your list.

 

[Evil3ye]

How about I add you to my list?

 

[Xadyu]

I would love to be on your list!

You know I love to be included.
