Christian Chat Mafia
Ok, I'm going to try and host a little game which is simple yet can be a lot of fun. Here is a short summary of it, later I'll go into the rules in more depth:


"The basic idea of Mafia is that out of all the people playing, there's a small group of betrayers trying to bring everyone else down. The betrayers are the Mafia, sometimes called "scum" or other unpleasant names. Everyone else is in the Town, otherwise called "villagers" or "innocents" or so forth.
The Town's goal is to get rid of all the scum players. They do this by taking a majority vote each game Day for who they want to get rid of. The Mafia's goal is to outlast all of the Townies until they control the majority vote, at which time there's nothing the Town can do to stop the scum from completely taking over. They can do this by avoiding being voted out and killing players during the Night phases following each game Day. The crowd that starts the game gets whittled down until eventually only one faction remains in the game.
So strategically, the game comes down to Townies finding and voting out the Mafia as often as possible. The Mafia tries to avoid getting voted out and kill off the players who threaten them at Night."


Okay, that was a vague idea of how the game works. Now the real rules:


Rules:
At the start of the game I will message all participants a role. Your role will decide your "team" and if you have any special abilities.
The roles in the Town are:

  • Doctor: During the night-phase sends me a message with a name of any player but himself/herself. That player can't be killed by the mafia tonight.
  • Inspector: During the night phase sends me a message of any player but himself/herself. When the next day-phase starts I will message them the role of that player.
  • Towny: Normal guy with no special abilities.

The goal of the town is to find all the Mafia and eliminate them through votes, later explained in the phases section. If all mafia are out; they win!
The inspector is very helpful to them as he can every night check someone of suspicion and see if they are Mafia or not.


The Towns rival team is The Mafia. All players in the Mafia are simply named "Mafia" and they have no extra ability. However during the night-phase any one of them can send me 1 message with a name. That play will be eliminated next day phase unless the doctor also chose them. The mafia know who their fellow mafia are and therefore can discuss who to eliminate via private messages.
The mafia win of the remaining living of them makes up 50% of the town.


The Game is split into 2 phases; The day-phase and night-phase. The game starts with a day-phase.
During the day-phase all players must post a vote by posting in the thread:
Lynch "name"
Or
No Lynch
Once a set time limit passes or two-thirds of the town vote to lynch the same person the day-phase ends. The person with the most votes then is eliminated and his role is revealed. After a day phase a night-phase starts.


During the night-phase the Inspector, Doctor and 1 Mafia member must send me a message containing the name of the person they want to Inspect/Protect/Eliminate depending on the role. When all messages are received by me the next day phase starts and all effects are done.


Example:
A is Inspector
B is Doctor
C is Mafia
D is Towny
E is Towny


During the day-phase 4 people post Lynch E. E is then eliminated and his role is made public. Now the night-phase starts.
The inspector sends me "C", the doctor "D" and the mafia "D". The mafia tried to eliminate "D" but the doctor protected him so nobody dies that night. I will send the inspector the roles of "C" as that's who he wanted to inspect and the next day-phase begins.


If you want to join post "in". To make sure a game doesn't last forever day-phases will automatically end after 3 days and night-phases after 2. If you haven't done your role (vote during day and sending me a message during night for certain roles.) you will be kicked from the game.
There will be 7 people in the Town team and 2 in the Mafia.

I think most ppl here prefer to concentrate on more important things than a cyber-mafia game where they get called "scum" and also possible get cyber-killed..lol.. Just sayin'..

Also, don't keep making multiple threads on this..The mods don't like multiple threads in different (or the same) forum(s)..
