Mafia 78- The Gunslinger Returns...
Once again the mafia has invaded ACville. In their attempt to run the town, the mafia has even gone so far as to rig the election for local sheriff. Fortunately, for the town, the newly elected sheriff's favors can't be bought. As usual, the town wants the mafia out...
SETUP
This is a nightless setup, meaning there are NO mafia night-kills.
12 players: 8
vanilla townies vs. 4
mafia goons. In the event that more than 12 players want to play, the ratio of townies to mafia will stay the same, meaning we would need 15 players (10 townies to 5 goons) or 18 players (12 townies to 6 goons).
GAME PLAY
- The mafia select a townie to serve as the first Gunslinger.
- Members of the town discuss amongst themselves, and the Gunslinger picks someone to target by posting ‘Shoot So-and-so’ or similar.
- If their target is a mafia goon, the target dies and the Gunslinger keeps the gun.
- If their target is a vanillia townie, the Gunslinger dies and the target becomes the new Gunslinger.
- Repeat until all mafia are dead, or the mafia's numbers equal the non-gunslinging townies.
- An investigation may be granted to any player, randomly. The gunslinger will not be granted an investigation. It is the player's decision on how to use/disclose the information granted from the investigation. Remember, a mafia goon may be the one granted the investigation rights. There may be more than one investigation in the game, though there will not be more than one investigation per nightfall.

2. To target/shoot another player, the Gunslinger must post ‘
Shoot so-and-so’ and BOLD the statement. A targeting statement that is not bolded will NOT be counted.

4. The Gunslinger will be given a deadline of 48 hours in which to take their shot. They may shoot earlier, if desired. If they fail to take a shot before the deadline passes, the Gunslinger will die, and the mafia will select another vanilla townie to act as Gunslinger for the town.
