Mafia #57: The Great Mafia War
The year is roughly 1981 and the city of Palermo, Sicily is in the midst of a mafia war. Although the Sicilian mafia has historically seen numerous power struggles between opposing clans, this time around the stakes are even higher and the stage is set for more violence and bloodshed. Who will come out on top?
Game Mechanics:
1) 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. If you fail to vote two consecutive night falls you will suffer an untimely death.
b. If you decide to switch your vote, state in bold you are doing so and add the new vote. (I retract my vote on XXXX, and vote to lynch XXX)
c. Do not put your vote in your signature.
2) Whoever has the most votes gets lynched. If you have two and everyone else has one vote… you get lynched.
a. The priority of night time happenings is:
Towns Lynch
Doctors Protection
Mafia Hit
Presidents Turn
Any Investigations
Random Nightly Occurrences
b. If multiple people have the same number of votes, I will use the random generator to decide which of those gets lynched.
3) 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.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT AUTHORIZED PEOPLE COMMUNICATE VIA AN OFF SITE MESSAGING BOARD LIKE MSN/AIM/ICQ.
4) You can say whatever you want in the game, but you can't 'prove it' with my PM to you.
5). A team wins when the numbers of other two teams combined are either even or outnumbered after night four. For example: If there are 4 citizens, 1 SCM, and 2 Corleionesi…the citizens win.
6) If you have any questions, PM me. If it's important to all, I'll post it.
7) No one, unless authorized to do so, are to discuss the game outside of the thread. 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.
8) Do not edit your posts!
9) PLEASE KEEP AFTER DEATH POSTS TO A MINIMUM
Teams:
Citizens- caught in the middle of the mafia’s violence and would like to stop the illegal doings once and for all. Citizens cannot communicate with each other but must fight for their town by lynching the mafia.
Corleonesi clan- the instigators of the war. They are a rural family quickly rising to power in Sicily who hopes to gain complete access to the mafia affairs happening in the area. This team can communicate with each other.
Sicilian Mafia Commission- the commission’s power in the region is threatened by the rebellious Corleonesi and too many of its leading members are being recruited to that side. The SCM wants to restore the balance of power while still controlling the mafia’s underground activities. This team can communicate with each other.
*Mafia teams each send a hit and an investigation per night, but only one of each will go through. That means whoever doesn't have a successful hit that particular night will get the result of the investigation they sent. On the other side, whichever team has the hit put through will not see the result of their investigation.
PRs:
Sicilian president-has power to turn one player to the opposing side during the course of the game. The President can communicate with the doctor.
*If turning an innocent to a mafia, the 50/50 will be decided at random for which team they are placed on. At that point they can communicate with their new team
Doctor- has one protection per night for a hit but cannot protect themselves. The Doc can communicate with the President
Investigative Journalist- has one investigation per night to find the mafia. They may publish the findings of their investigations through the day’s newspaper headlines but cannot name specific mafia members for fear of being killed. Instead they must provide the town clues to lead them towards the mafia. The newspaper is published every day, beginning with day 2.
*For investigations any mafia player will only show as that, not which side they are on.
Luciano Leggio- Don of Corleonesi clan who has gained a lot of power himself, he controls the blackmail which allows one player's vote to be switched for the night. It can be used at any point in the game but only once. This role must send hit and invest for their clan each night unless not currently in the game
*The SMC's nightly hit and invest can be sent in by anyone assuming there is a consensus. The last PM I receive before nightfall will be considered final.
Random occurrences:
“White shotgun” killing– the role of the player hit will not be revealed until the next day and will only happen once during the game.
Kidnapping- a random player will "disappear" and cannot post for the remainder of that day
Snitch list- as the SMC “knows” the members of the rival clan, a list may or may not be revealed during the game containing the name of one Corleonesi clansmen among several other players.
DO NOT POST UNTIL I SAY GAME ON
