Elements Mafia
by Mastermind79, Continued by killsdazombie
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.
