Citizens are advised against traveling to ACville, and residents of the community are urged to leave immediately. Those choosing to remain should use extreme caution, and take necessary precautions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unaware as to who, in particular, is at risk, the mayor of ACville has decided that all residents will assume alternate identities until this threat against the town has passed. While this should help to keep the innocent population safe, the mayor's only concern is that with these new identities there's the risk that the local mafia will run unchecked through the town. Without the use of old case files and rap sheets, will the good citizens be able to beat back any mafia threat against their beloved town?
Game Mechanics
1) You may NOT reveal your alternate identity to anyone. Doing so will lead to an untimely death (UD).
a. Hinting at your true identity through any posts, signatures, or avatars is forbidden.
b. Confirming to another player who guesses at your identity is forbidden.
c. Players’ true identities will be revealed at game’s end by game moderator, so even after death please do not reveal your true identity.
2) Each game day, everyone in the town has to vote to lynch someone. You vote by saying (in bold)… I vote to lynch so and so.
a. You must cast a vote for each day/night cycle. You may vote to lynch ‘no one’ or yourself, if desired. If you fail to vote, you will die an untimely death.
b. If you decide to switch your vote, please state in bold you are doing so and the new vote. (I retract my vote on XXXX, and vote to lynch XXX). If you fail to retract your previous vote, the new vote will still count, however, retractions will help make counting votes easier, and are therefore greatly appreciated.
c. Do not put your vote in your signature.
3) Whoever has the most votes gets eliminated. If you have two and everyone else has one vote… you get lynched.
a. The priority of night time happenings is:
Vigilante Hit
Mayor’s Protection
Town Lynching
Doctor’s Protection
Mafia Hit
Untimely Deaths
Investigations
b. If multiple people have the same number of votes, I will use a random number generator to decide which of those gets lynched.
4) Again, if you do not vote daily, then you will die an untimely death (UD).
5) Everything stays in the game, no PMing people and setting up deals or alliances, or discussing issues in this game on other sites. The sole exception to this is the authorization by me for special role players to do so. That's kind of the point. If you are discussing things, then everyone else doesn't get the benefit of your deliberations. Think town hall rather than internet chat room
6) You can claim whatever you want in the game, but you can't 'prove it' by posting any PMs received during the game (role assignment or otherwise).
7) While the use of site moderator ‘special powers’ can’t be controlled by the game moderator, using abilities not available to all players can present an unfair advantage. The use of such powers is strongly discouraged, and posting any information gained through their use is forbidden.
8) The Mafia wins, when they outnumber the Innocents.
9) The Innocents win when they lynch all the Mafia.
10) Do not edit your posts!
11) NO AFTER DEATH POSTS! IF YOU MUST, PLEASE KEEP THEM TO A MINIMUM!!! NO REVEALING ANY ADDITIONAL INFO!!!
I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT AUTHORIZED PEOPLE COMMUNICATE VIA AN OFF SITE MESSAGING BOARD LIKE MSN/AIM/ICQ OR THROUGH EMAIL.
If for any reason you need to leave the game, please PM me, do not post it in the thread. IF YOU POST THAT YOU QUIT YOU DIE AS SOON AS I SEE THE POST. NO EXCEPTIONS. YOUR ROLE WILL BE REVEALED. I don't care if you recant the quit you will still die.
In the game you will get accused, grilled, made to look like an idiot, and a hundred other things. REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A GAME. Do not take anything personally, but please keep posts within reason. Any posts that I feel are out of line could result in a removal from the game.
Roles
The players are the townsfolk in the great city of ACville.
Some are Innocents; the remaining are Mafia; the Mafia know who each other are, and can communicate with one another.
1 player received the following PM
1 player received the following PMMayor
You are the Mayor of ACville. You may use your political power to pardon a person and save them from being lynched. Before night falls in a given day/night cycle, PM/email to me the name of an individual you would like to pardon, and they will be safe from that night’s lynch. You may only pardon each person once, or else the town may revolt against you.
1 player received the following PMDetective
You are the Detective. You use your scum-hunting and investigative skills to deduce who is Mafia and who is innocent. Before night falls in a given day/night cycle, PM/email to me the name of an individual you would like to investigate. You will receive the results of your investigation after the night has been run.
1 player received the following PMDoctor
You are the Doctor of ACville. You may use your healing powers to protect an individual from being killed at night by the Mafia. Before night falls in a given day/night cycle, PM/email to me the name of an individual you would like to protect, and they will be safe from that night’s Mafia hit. You may not protect an individual from being lynched, a vigilante hit, or an untimely death (UD). Due to your selfless nature, you’re often willing to risk your own life in order to save that of others…therefore, you may not protect yourself.
1 player received the following PMLone Mason
You are the Lone Mason. At any time during the game, you may PM/email, to me, the name of one other player that you would like to befriend. That night, I will contact the other player to let them know your intention, and from that point forward, the two of you will be able to communicate with each other outside of the thread. Be careful, though…you could befriend a member of the Mafia! Any investigations done on you will yield a ‘Townie’ result.
8 players received the following PMVigilante
You are the Vigilante. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and you’ve decided to take things into your own hands. One time, in an attempt to rid ACville of this Mafia scum, you may kill any other player by sending me a PM/email with their name, before night falls. Any investigations done on you will yield a ‘Townie’ result.
1 player received the following PMTownie
You are a Townie in the great town of ACville. You have no special powers; only your brain and your vote. To rid your town of the Mafia threat, you will need to use them wisely.
2 players received the following PMDon
You are the Don of the ACville Mafia. You have total control of the ACville Mafia, and may communicate with your ACville Goons outside of the thread. Before night falls in each day/night cycle, you will PM/email to me the name of the individual you would like to kill or ‘hit’. The role of your victim will only be revealed to the Mafia, and not to the town. Upon investigation by the detective, your role will show as ‘Townie’.
1 player received the following PMACville Mafia Goon
You are an ACville Mafia Goon. You’re just a lowly Goon, but may communicate outside of the thread with the Don and other ACville Mafia Goons. Upon the Don’s lynching, each of the remaining Mafia Goons will need to PM/email to me the name of the individual they would like to kill or ‘hit,’ before each nightfall. I will break any ties. The role of your victim will only be revealed to the Mafia, and not to the town. Upon investigation by the detective, your role will show as ‘Mafia’.
Big City Mafia Goon
You are the Big City Mafia Goon. You are a Mafia Goon from the Gambusia crime syndicate, sent to keep an eye on things in ACville. Your goal is to help the ACville Mafia take over the town. Through your excellent investigative skills, you know that the ACville mafia members are Player X, Player Y, and Player Z. They do not know your role, and you may NOT communicate with them outside of the thread. You may use your investigative skills to determine who poses the greatest threat to the Mafia’s plans. Before night falls in a given day/night cycle, PM/email to me the name of an individual you would like to investigate. You will receive the results of your investigation after the night has been run. Upon investigation by the detective, your role will show as ‘Mafia’. In the event that all members of the ACville Mafia are lynched (and you are still alive), you will be responsible for calling in the nightly Mafia hit.
