2012 Secret Santa Mafia (Pick Their Poison)

http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

If you are new to something like this, mafia is a psychological game where the uninformed majority is pitted against the informed minority. The majority, town, does not know who is a part of their team. The minority, mafia, knows exactly who they are teamed with. Every day both factions must, together, vote a player out of the game through lynching. At night, the mafia will kill a member of the town. This continues until one faction remains.

2012, December 20th

You're invited to a Christmas party through an impersonal letter getting passed around the office of your job.

Upon arriving, you realize that most of the people in this party you have never even met. It's awkward, while everyone seems to know you by name, you can't seem to remember theirs. After an hour or so of drinking and trying to mingle with co-workers, the founder of the company stands at the top of the room and asks for everyone's attention.

Tapping on his champagne glass, everyone turns their attention over to him.

"I just want to thank you all for coming, and I hope you've having a great time." he says as he holds up his glass. "Let me get this out of the way at the beginning so we can continue to have fun and enjoy the party.".

Clearing his throat, he pulls a small sheet of paper from his front left jacket pocket.

"Unfortunately not all of the co-workers you see around you will be returning with us at the beginning of the year. I've already informed them all privately, and hopefully there are no hard feelings."

Suddenly, the ground begins to tremor and the room starts to shake. Everyone gets into a slight panic as pictures start to fall off the wall, and peoples drinks tip over.

"Don't worry, everything is fine!" the boss says as it appears to lighten up. You hear sounds like a generator shutting down, and the power goes out.

"We're all gonna die!" someone yells at the top of their lungs. "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!"

You start to hear a gargling sound, unable to make out exactly where it's coming from. The generator kicks back in, and slowly the lights in the entire building start to switch back on. The entire room slowly starting to come out of their panicked state, looks around the room.

You see the boss with an serrated knife in his throat, leaking out blood. Behind him on the wall, written in blood, were the numbers.

Every player will be randomly assigned one other player to choose a role for. The roles you can choose from are all roles that can be found here: http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?tit ... gory:Roles. The list of roles you can choose from will not be as expansive as that page -- it's merely a reference for how they function. Because there can be role duplicates, the list each player receives may be slightly different, also at random, for balancing reasons.


This is a semi-open setup. Mafia will be chosen at random. Here are the role PMs for town and mafia:

You are an Employee (Town). You are aligned with the other sane employees.

You must work together with your co-workers and get rid of the murderers... before it's too late. You win when all of the insane employees are dead.

You have received the role ___ from secret santa. -role details here-

You are an Insane Employee (Mafia). You are aligned with the other insane employees, the names of which I've spoilered in case you think not knowing will help distance you Day 1:

SPOILER

nt

Your group wins when you've murdered enough of your co-workers to have a vote majority. You may talk with your partners, at night only, in this quicktopic: -url here-

Your group has no leader. You must decide amongst yourselves which one of you will carry out the kill. If you can't reach a unanimous decision, you may vote in the same way you would vote to lynch someone. If there are both no votes and no decision, I will choose the person who I think is the worst choice.

You have received the role ___ from secret santa. -role details here-

Because the mafia will be chosen at random, you should think very carefully about what role you give to whom. Secret santa assignments and role lists will remain officially hidden, but you are free to share/claim anything yourselves.

Rules

1. No talking out of thread unless allowed by your role PM. This includes PMs, irc, and messengers.

2. Don't quote anything I communicate to you through PM. You can paraphrase, but nothing verbatim.

3. Votes and unvotes must be cast and uncast in bold font to be counted. vote: Two, unvote: Two (going to strictly adhere to this)

4. Days last exactly 72 real-world hours from when I announce the start of the day. Any votes or actions performed after that point, whether I have started the night phase or not, will not be counted. Nights last 32 real-world hours.

5. The day will end prematurely if any player has a majority of votes on them. Reaching vote majority will also make all actions after that point ineffective, as the day is over.

6. Night actions resolve in this fashion: roleblock > nightkill > everything else. If you are killed, you will not perform your action (unless it was a roleblock).

7. A tied vote will go to the player who reached the tie first. Example:
8. If the mafia fails to choose a night kill target, I will choose the least advantageous target possible for them. If for some reason you don't want to night kill anyone that night, state that in a PM.

9. Do not post in the thread during the night phase or while dead.

I'm just writing it I don't know anything more than anyone else, so there wont be any way to examine the story and try and pull together information so don't bother

sry I wanted to play too

what you just said sounds shady as hell btw

Okay, starting to send out secret santa pms. Please don't talk during this, not that it would behoove you anyway since you could end up being mafia.

Confirming before confirm phase derp

confirm

there is no confirm phase

It's now Day 1. You have 72 hours from this post before it's Night 1. It takes 10 votes to lynch.

Confirm

Oh, well.

I'll go make the ISOs now.

jinxyjem trying to seem town by assisting

vote: jinxyjem

Oh lol no confirm stage, ok then.

I had an idea to play D1 a little smarter considering the setup.

If someone seems to be coming up for the lynch, if they decide to roleclaim to attempt to save themselves, we should decide if the role they have would be useful to a mafia member.

If not let them live (assuming it's not obvious they are mafia) and if so go through with the lynch.

It'll keep it from being a huge claim fest and make the lynch a little less random.

I can abide by this.

Yeah, that makes sense. Two would still need some sort of balance so it can't be completely random.

sup niggas

Interesting the role I got wasn't on the list of roles I chose to give out.
Considering what Two and Jinxy said, I've got to think. What if Two preassigned who was Mafia and Town, then gave out a list to another person to decide what role they have?

This implies that the Mafia roles and Town roles will get slightly different lists.

If this were true then all we need is to claim the lists we all received and analyze.
Then find a possible pattern then lynch the targets of those whose lists are different.

Even if the Mafia "changes" the list they receive, we would still have majority of the correct ones that town gave to analyze.

I don't really understand what could be analyzed from a rather large list of roles though. If there wasn't so many options I'd just say you were rolefishing.

.. for the record I received a role different from the ones I was provided to pick from as well.

@MOD: Can you clarify on if you meant Mafia were chosen before or after the roles were picked?

I'm willing to agree with that with the condition that it's not the only thing we rely on in finding Mafia. It's not a bad plan but I can see some potential mistakes and loopholes being made if the Mafia actually DO come up with something...believable.

Are there any third parties?

Hitter something is wrong with that I'm sure Two made different lists for everyone, only even slightly. All we're doing is giving the mafia kills for those people who didn't have "bulletproof" or similar on the list

I didn't mean either of them. I'm not going to give more information than I gave (on that subject) until after the game is over.

and no there are no third parties

I'd assume there are no third parties, just because the player who gave the role would know immediately.

Unless it was just random with whatever role they happened to get. It's possible I guess.

Good point, that didn't even cross my mind.

Two wrote:

Nevermind then.

that took effort

That's what I meant.

There would be different lists, but only slightly different.
For example. a cop would be useless to mafia, so a role list with cop would be most likely town.
But this is assuming mafia was chosen randomly before and lists were distributed were based on that.

Anyway, I won't follow through with the plan if you guys don't want to.

cop can easily become rolecop for mafia.

stop rolefishing hitter
