Mafia Games I: Just Business

[Musical-Mettaur 41]

MAFIA GAMES I: JUST BUSINESS

Rules are, during the day, people send a PM to me as their vote for who should be lynched. The one with most votes, is executed! During the night, you can kill or protect others, if you are able to! Those without night powers, just hope you survive!

There will be narrations, where in the day the damned person will be killed and role revealed, and the night narrations will have kills and such, yes, but your night actions will leave clues as to who you are! The other players will attempt to decode these clues, to find out who killed whatshisname.

Roles are randomized, and will be sent to the players who have them only. Except the mafia, they gets to know who is in their team.


Roles:
PRO TOWN:
1 Paramedic
1 Vigilante
1 Paranoid
3 Townie

Criminals:
Mafia:
1 Godfather
1 Hitman


ELECTED/GRANTED POSITIONS
These are additional roles and powers that can be granted to some of the players, via election or random selection. Use them wisely.

Mayor
The Mayor is elected at the start of the game and has numerous roles. His special abilities are:
Seal of the Mayor: Increased vote count of 2 during lynching.
Did you ever know that you're my hero...: The mayor cannot be killed during the night while the bodyguard remains alive. The mayor will be informed of the identity of the bodyguard.
Time for serious action!: You can, once in the game, call for a double lynch! Players get two seperate votes to vote on two seperate people.


Pardoner
As a check and balance to the Mayor, the pardoner is the runner up to the Mayor. The pardoner has the ability to cancel a lynch. The pardoner will have to notify me within one hour of lynch vote results before the lynch is actually posted. The pardoner will also receive protection from the bodyguard but will not be informed of his/her identity. You can only use this ability twice in the game.


Bodyguard
Some random Townie will receive the role of bodyguard once the mayor has been elected. The bodyguard and the mayor will be informed of his.her identity. As long as the bodyguard is alive, the Mayor and the Pardoner cannot be killed via night hits.

PRO TOWN!
Lynch a bad guy during the day. Survive the night. Rinse and repeat. Players who are Pro Town are in business to save Townston from corruption.


Vigilante
You are the caped crusader of Townston, the vigilante who prowls the darkened streets for the vermin of crime and vengeance. It is your self-imposed duty to protect the weak and meek, for you are the Vigilante! Strike forth, noble paladin!
I am the law!: You have the ability to kill once a night, private message me a target for you to attack. But beware, for you are unable to discern friend from foe! Perhaps this is due to your vision obscuring mask you are so determined on wearing?

Paramedic
You are the lawful assistance to the town, he who heals not burns. You are the paramedic! Bustling around town in your paramedic van, you seek a charge to protect for the night. You are the angelic guardian of this town, and for your years of medical training you seek to heal the burn.
Don't worry, I'm a doctor: Once per night, you can pick a player to protect for the night. This will essentially give them one extra night life for the night. But if they are attacked by say, two people, they will die. If a player is attacked and survives, a clue is given for both you and the attacker.


Paranoid
The paranoid is a wee bit unhinged by his experiences in some horrible and bloody war. During days, he's perfectly normal but during the night he keeps to himself and relives the horrors of his past. The Paranoid will kill whoever was the first person to target him in any way during the night, whether it be mafia or townie (such as a hero opting to protect him). The Paranoid is unable to NOT kill, but will only kill one person a night. Should two persons interact with him during the night, the first person will die but the second will not. Also, the paranoid is not aware that he's insane and thus believes himself to be a normal townie. That means you get sent a townie role.


Townie
As a townie, you stand to loose big, should the mafia ever manage to take control of the town. Be critical! Be suspicious! Most importantly, be on time to vote for a lynch or you won't have any fun at all.


CRIMINALS!

MAFIA
The mafia's win condition is to kill all the townies and rival opposition. Unlike townies, all mafia members know who each other are. All mafia members can kill once per night cycle. A mafia member cannot kill fellow mafia.

Godfather
You have a nice suit, laundered city income, and a pudgy cat to stroke. Classic and cliche, but who cares, you are loaded! So, in charge of the mafia, you get some special powers.
Behind the Curtains: As long as you have your hitmen alive, you cannot die via night attacks. This power is revoked if you use the "Now it's personal!" power.
Money Talks, in many languages: You can cancel a lynch in the game, however, you cannot cancel your own lynching.
Now it's personal!: Time to take it into your own hands. Brandishing your pistol, you take to the streets. Now you can kill once a night, but you lose all benefits of the Behind the Curtains power. The "Now it's personal!" ability is automatically activated if all hitmen are dead.

Hitman
You are the mafia hitman. Each night you get to stab somebody in the face. Don't forget to have fun.

DAY ONE- Start of the End.

The bus shot down the road like Ork Fighta-Bommer. Thick, oily smoke streamed out of the engine hood and the occupants were screaming loudly, while the driver was drinking straight from a bottle of Jack Daniels. A concerned and completely normal citizen leaned forward in their seat and shouted over the din that drinking an driving doesn't wo- but the driver turned his eyes from the road to assure the passenger he drives better drunk than sober any day. A more unhinged citizen was clutching their knees to their chest, and rocking back and forth, wailing that the bus would crash.

Surprisingly, the bus did not crash. It exploded. Scrap metal and brown-trousers flew all about the place, and although injured and in need of new shorts, most of the occupants were just fine at the new town gates. The driver however, was still strapped in his seat and flying toward an active volcano in the distance, mumbling that something just might be wrong with the bus. The eight victims of transport looked up to the new town gates. They looked shabby indeed, but a man was there all the same. A man in a blue silk suit, with a Mettena helmet and a rusted pickaxe. His face was obscured, but his eyes shined from under the helm's brim.

"Welcome my friends, welcome to Townston! This is the town you have been waiting for, oh yes! No more the corruption and lies of Villagevale, this is a town free of the mob, free of organized crime. Step through these gates into a town without fear of a blade in the night or a blood craving lunatic." The eight settlers eagerly stepped through the gates and found nothing but a Town Hall, active volcano, lake, and billboard. The man then stepped through the gates as they collapsed into timber and scrap metal. "And now, I cannot call this town mob free."

A settler in fatigues looked about nervously,"What was that? Enemy has breached the gates! Get to your posts!" until a settler dressed in a doctor's coat handed the nervous settler a bottle of pills. The mysterious benefactor continued."Yes, I'm sorry, but this was a lie. Townston is empty of all former participants, excluding myself. My clever and well designed property advertisements were just a trap for the Villagevale Mafia. You see, six of you are nothing but good, honest settlers, but two of you want blood. As I speak, they are plotting your very downfall. There were many applications, but I only accepted a few. A skilled surgeon, a war veteran, and a private detective. And some of you are just average men and women, I did need to make some money. But two of you, are both the infamous Godfather of Villagevale and their right hand made-man, the Lieutenant. It is the job of you six to root out these ne'er-do-wells and bring them to justice. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to disassemble that billboard. 'Ole Harkovast stopped paying the fee years ago."

The mysterious man went over to the billboard and started unscrewing bolts and using a hammer to loosen rusted bolts. The eight players huddled together nervously and suspiciously, and finally agreed that the only way to determine the guilty and bring justice would be to elect an authority figure. As the combined group approached the benefactor cheerfully, the billboard creaked, leaned forward, and apparently smashed him flat.

Musical-Mettaur the Veteran is dead.

Left with no real leader, the eight men and women were left with one thing- to vote.

Votes!:

Jubilee van Neikos: 2 In second.
NeverNeverland
Junilee van Neikos (Self Vote)

NeverNeverland: 4 In the lead!
Valiant
Nevermore and Arya

[Guest]

I step forward and vote for Neverneverland as the mayor.

[Trixies Apprentice L 493]

a self vote seems suspicious and risking one of the bad guys becoming a mayor is a very bad thing.

So instead I will just jump in the bandwagon for now until we have something here to have clues

 

Vote: NeverNeverland

Edited July 27, 2012 by Trixies Apprentice Leona

[Legendary Emerald 622]

I dislike this "mayor" concept. To me, it makes no sense to elect someone as mayor when no one here knows anything about anyone else. It's a total crapshoot, and I don't want to risk giving godlike powers to a frickin' murderer. In the long run, electing a mayor may help us, but for now, I'd rather wait until one of us has been cleared of most, if not all, suspicion. But I'm not about to stop you all from making this potentially lethal decision. Just don't expect me to be part of this particular democratic process.

 

Vote for mayor: No one

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

Should I be worried?

[Pinkie D Pie 1,036]

I'll jump into this and vote NeverNeverland.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

Okay, now I'll start worrying.

[Musical-Mettaur 41]

ELECTION TIME, BEEEEACHES!

 

At first, the little group were in a panic. What would they do? The only apparent figure of authority had just taken a fall for the worse! And worse still, they were all too lazy to lift up the billboard. But NeverNeverland started things off good. "Alright guys..lets vote for someone who can handle power properly. So...not me, agreed?" Valiant dusted himself off, "I don't know Never, you're a modest and noble figure. I think we should vote for you." That was a vote for NeverNeverland.

 

The man in question shook his head no,"No, no, you don't understand! I become a real..hot head, when I get titles. Lets just-" Nevermore spoke up,"And he's so honest! We should certainly vote for this noble figure, yes indeed. The only shame is his lack of mustache.." NeverNeverland stroked his face,"Hm, I would look dashing indeed...and I am very modest, and honest..I would fit out just fine!" Leona sat down and shook her hat free of motor oil and some poor sap's lunch."If I voted for myself, I'd draw attention..can't have that.." And then in a much louder voice,"I VOTE NEVERNEVERLAND!" Luna Sparkle drained his fancy hat of Legendary Emerald's tears of terror to vote for the successful candidate."Sure t'ing Mista Mayah! Ya gots ma votes!" Legendary Emerald stopped rocking back and forth to notice the hubbabalo around himself. He shook his fist."This is all just a trap, a reason to give the murderers more power over us! We'll all play into their hands, fall for the attack! I'm not having that, leave me out of your fancy democracy!"

 

Jubilee van Neikos needed to figure out a way to get into power, and fast. S/he said (I have no clue, and unless you inform me otherwise, I'm referring to all characters as male.) "I nominate myself as Pardoner! And I can...magically grow you a mustache!" Neverland stopped signing autographs for a moment to turn around at the purple girl/boy,"Can you make me a stache-mobile?" "...er, yes, yes I can." "Then you got my vote! Now all I need is an official meat shield..I mean bodyguard..you! You in the crowd!" The new Mayor pointed out a townie standing next to the war veteran, who seemed to have run out of his perscribed medication. "Er...me?" "Yes, you galant citizen! How would you like the honor of becoming my official bodyguard, and better serve the people as such!" "...do I get cool sunglasses and a suit?" The Mayor took Jubilee's reading glasses and a sharpie. "I'll give you a darkened pair of eye glasses and a name tag." The townie jumped atop the podium eagerly,"DEAL!"

 

NeverNeverland is your new Mayor, Jubilee van Neikos is your Pardoner, and a bodyguard has been selected!

 

NIGHT FALLS OVER TOWNSTON.

Edited July 29, 2012 by Musical-Mettaur

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

And that's enough votes and non-votes to determine the winner, one more vote isn't going to make a difference. NeverNeverland is your new Mayor!

 

Fuck.

[SuperTheAwesome 199]

I don't know if I want Never running this city...

 

Are we safe?

[Musical-Mettaur 41]

NIGHT ONE! FRESH BLOOD!

 

 

Night had fallen over Townston, and the Mayor NeverNeverland walked the streets with his protection escort and the Pardoner following carefully behind. The Mayor seemed confident with himself, and smoothed a finger over his grand-sized mustache in gloating. “Ah, the campaign went smoothly indeed. This entire town goes in my favor. Nothing can stop me now.” A cricket hopped in front of them on the sidewalk, and NeverNeverland shoved his bodyguard in the way,”Meat-shield, activate!” The bodyguard picked himself up foully, muttering “Wow, great to know you value us so highly.” The Mayor gave a great boasting laugh,”Haha! With both you and the town’s Paramedic protecting me, I’m as safe as Abe Lincoln’s reputation! Now lets go get ourselves some lasagna. Quickly, to the Stache-Mobile!”

 

As the Vigilante stalked the night, he came upon his target. A man walking the streets in a confident, but at ease manner. The Vigilante swooped down from the roof tops and in the path of the man, who looked appropriately astonished. He gasped,”Wha- wha da fu-” The Vigilante laughed a great booming laugh,”Hahaha! You cannot escape the might of Run Away From Danger Man!” Indeed, his chest icon was a golden shield with R.A.F.D.M. on it. The man frantically gestured to a figure in the shadows, a weedy looking man in a fancy suit. His name tag said: Legal Lee. He rushed forward with a stack of paperwork which he dumped in the Vigilante’s surprised hands. The rest of him was surprised too.”As you can see, Mister Assassination Target here is a fine, grand, gracious, generous, valiant, outstanding member of our community. You can’t accuse him of anything, and is totally undeserving of vigilante justice. Now, the issue of your title..that means you are legally obligated to run away. Sorry, Legal Lee, I state the rules.” The Vigilante shook his gloved fist at the sky in a dramatic fashion,”Arrrgh! Curse you lawyers!” And so, he ran off from his target.

 

Behind the Curtains! Some people you just can’t touch.

 

Oh, quite an important detail I forgot! Two of them! One, no post-humous clue solving or revealing of information! Ruins the whole game! So once you die, no grave speaking ye landlubbers! Two! No alternate accounts, you only use one when playing this game ye grox fetchers! Three! I've takin' ta speaking like 'ole ALESTORM! And four, ye pathetic dirt loving jackals, it's time fer tha lynching! Attacks are happening and the Mafia is at large, do what ye do best ye soft lil' babbies! Demo-craky!

So the resoning behind the two votes to Valiant ?

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

So the resoning behind the two votes to Valiant ?

 

PREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTY obvious. Unfortunately, they're not being smart about their votes.

[Trixies Apprentice L 493]

That where my mind went too Two people both voting the same person without any talk in the thread or reasoning seem pretty suspicious

I will go ahead an say even if he is the pardoner

 

Vote: Jubilee van Neikos

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

That's not even the problem. But whatever.

 

Vote: Legendary Emerald

[Trixies Apprentice L 493]

Then what do you think is wrong ? Sharing opinions is how we find the culprit after all

I'm more concerned about the mafia hitman. Get to him, get the mafia boss, simple. And if I'm at it...

Do I even have to bring up the PM messages? Its obvious who the boss is.

*facehoof*

 

I feel stupid now. Where I played it the game master didn't give details like that it was up to the player to figure out what is going on through talking So i just skipped the whole thing I though it was just for plot thing that he wrote it XD

 

Then again I doubt Musical would make it so obvious putting the persons name into the converstation but yea I see our point

 

Unvote: Jubilee van Neikos

 

for now maybe the Legal Lee is brough up by Jubilee XD

 

I still don't like how he voted himself and jumped right away to the obvious choice maybe musical is toying with us for all we know

You should've paid attention maaaaaan! XD Although if you saw the first PM involving the games you would've seen the first response being "I lynch NeverNeverland" from Valiant himself.

Yea I know and then imiddiatly voted for you when they told him he cant lynch XD

 

I dont know I want to here his opinion in this thread too If he so speaks XD If he doesnt well that will throw all the more suspicion on him except if we had a hidden silencer role though I doubt it XD

I don't think I've voted yet, but do you vote here or in though a PM?

VOTE: Jubilee Van Neikos

[Legendary Emerald 622]

Jeeze, this isn't like any mafia game I've played before. I have no clue what is going on. Aren't we supposed to know who died during the night? Or did no one die? The story text is formatted so poorly that I can barely read it.

Thanks for that buddy, I guess I'm not a good writer, eh? Well, nobody died. Happy?

Sorry if I sounded rude, but if you're going to try and go the extra mile and add flavor text, you should make it easy to read. Just follow standard writing rules and conventions in the future: for example, no more than one character should talk in a single paragraph, and dialogue shouldn't appear mid-paragraph.
