Elements Mafia
by Mastermind79

This is a land of Elementals, beings that can command the elements themselves. Within this land (and sea,and air, and time, blah blah blah), there was a village. Only 12 people lived in this village, but the False Gods deemed them a threat. As a test, they decided to send two false gods, within the bodies of villagers, to the little community. Thankfully, a saviour known only as zanzarino limited their power long ago. The villagers decided they would kill one person per day until the false gods were found. Meanwhile, the gods decided to kill one person per night until all were dead.

That's right. It's mafia.

Lord Sho tells us:

Mafia is a game. It is played in real life, and from that, we have derived an internet-friendly version that is playable here on the forums. In the most basic version of mafia, there are two teams [*1], an innocent (the good) side and a mafia (the bad) side. [*2] The two teams kill each other, and the remaining side is the victor.

Of course, you cannot just "kill" everyone too easily. A mafia game will go through two phases each "Day" [*3]; "Day" [*4] and "Night". During the "Day", every member of the game will vote [*5] for someone to be lynched [*6]. That person that is to be lynched will be killed at the end of "Day". In "Night", the mafia side will message the Host of who they want to kill, and that person will die. "Day" lasts the timeframe that the Host has set, and "Night" is instantaneous [*7]. This "Day" and "Night" continue until one side is the only one left, and then that side is declared the winner.

[*1] = Some games have more than two teams. It must have at least two teams, however, or else it is a different game altogether.
[*2] = In many games, the names of the "good" and "bad" side will differ, often based on a theme that the game plays on. However, the term "innocents" and "baddies" can be used across all mafia games.
[*3] = While the term "Day" is used here, it may not necessarily be 24 hours. Dependent on the timeframe that that the Host defines, it may be shorter or longer.
[*4] = This is different from the earlier usage of "Day".
[*5] = How to vote is defined by the Host of the game, however the general usage is to post a "Vote: Lord Sho", and bold your vote.
[*6] =This will be a majority of votes based on how many people voted.
[*7] = Well there's some lag as the host has to post the events of "Day" and "Night". But you can think of it as instantaneous.


12 players: one per element.
     Choose your own, it doesn't affect gameplay.

2 players are false gods.
     These players kill one player every "night". They must eliminate all innocents.

1 player is a seer.
     This player can see what job someone is every 2 "nights".

1 player is a doctor.
     This player can choose to save/protect a person from death every 2 "nights".

8 players are innocents.
     These players are ordinary, and do not have special powers.

Other:
A person not active for 2 consecutive "days" will be modkilled.
Only one mafia kill happens per night.
Roles will be decided through random number generator.

The game will begin on the first Friday, Sunday, or Wednesday after all the signups are filled.

Signups begin now! Choose your element.

Any questions will be answered before the game begins.

I love this game.

I choose time.

So, for lynching, is it a nomination system or does everyone vote independently? If it's nomination, how many can be nominated each day, and is there a minimum? Two minimum/max usually works well. Nominations may make the game take too long, but the point of them is that the nominees get to defend themselves.

so that means, 2 people die in a day, one in "Day" and one "Night"? Who are the mafias? and what do they do? This game is kinda confusing.

Mafia members are basically hit men. They both agree on who should be killed during the night phase. Also during the night phase, the doctor (I prefer to call them the nurse :-D ) and the detective perform their actions. No one knows who anyone else is in this game, except the detective. However, you can say who you are. People may or may not believe you though.

Once the night phase is over, the narrator says what happened during the night. If the doctor used the "save" ability that night, the hit was unsuccessful. In normal games the doctor actually guesses who the mafia will kill each night, and the person is only saved if they guessed correctly. Kami is using a different rule though.

There's a lot of strategy in this game. For instance, the detective can figure out who a mafia member is early in the game sometimes. Since they know this, they can tell everyone else. The downside is that if people don't believe him and don't lynch the outed mafia member, the mafia will kill the detective in the next night phase. On the other hand, if a mafia member claims to be the detective and accuses a person of being a mafia member and people believe them, the mafia can get a free kill during the day, and probably another if people keep believing him.

Logic plays a big part in this game. Unfortunately, we can't do this in a real place so it's kind of hard to tell anything about people's emotions (a drastic change in emotions from one game to the next means that person probably had a role change, and if you know what roles they had in the past, you can guess what they are in the current game).

Call me Fire! :D

Also, I'm not the Narrator for this, I just posted it, Mastermind will be the narrator. I will only take over if he decides to abandon it.

It is still confusing  :(

But it makes it clearer, thanks demagog.

So, I can choose to be a mafia?

If you read through the rules, you will see you do not get to choose and roles will bedecided upon a random number generator.

Yes, I assume he will assign numbers to the various jobs, and then assign numbers to those who signed up, and then randomly generate them and pair them up. Or something along those lines.
