Elements Mafia 50 - by Kuroaitou

Like to sign up thanks!

Time to try this for the first time. In.

Some noob questions:
- College Student (Con-Artist) [3U] "gain ability" does only mean you "copy" it, right? The target still keeps it?
- Butcher: The rules say mafia wins when they outnumber the civilians. However, if one of the civilians is the butcher, they still can win if they focus their, let's say 4, votes on the same mafia member, while the remaning 5 mafia members target the butcher.
- Hitmen: What is the difference from stranglation (insta-death, as it sounds) and the -pill that has to be consumed?
- Pharmacist's -pill (Any message that the target sends to the host is also sent to you as well.): Does this pill work until the target dies, or does it only work that day/night-cycle?

UPDATE: Minor sign-up extension (by a few hours) due to work scheduling. God, my arms are sore... T_T

- Yes, College Student (or Con-artist) only copies. The student basically 'learns' from their target; the target doesn't lose their ability, because they're obviously a professional at what they do, while the College Student (or Con-artist) does an "internship" (plagiarizing the profession).
- The Butcher thing is a good point... perhaps I'll edit the first post such that the Criminals win if their collective voting power overwhelms any possible combination that the non-Criminals can muster?
- The main difference was that pills are a 'fickle'/subtle way of getting someone to kill themselves, while the strangling of someone is supposed to have little-to-no drawbacks (versus the gunshot, which will reveal the Hitman secondary role if the target killed was a Vigilante).
-:air pill works indefinitely until their death (i.e. - it's basically a spying technique to see what 'skill/role' they have); the pill is basically an investigative action...

IF ANYONE HAS LAST MINUTE QUESTIONS/SUGGESTIONS ABOUT MAFIA 50, PLEASE SUGGEST THEM NOW BEFORE THE DEADLINE - I will extend the deadline and make edits if there are any major glaring issues/rational suggestions regarding any of the rules or skills of this mafia!

[Kuroaitou]

Actually, I've decided that it'll be much more 'fair' if voting power wasn't a factor for the final numbers (i.e. - number of players left remaining). Technically, while the Butcher scenario could happen, it would be a lot easier if the game ended at the point where the Criminals are equal to/outnumber all other non-Criminals.

Also - HITMAN'S STRANGLATION ABILITY NOW HAS ITS OWN DRAWBACK. USE WITH CAUTION. >_>

UPDATE: Minor sign-up extension (by a few hours) due to work scheduling.

I think you accidently messed up the timer, because instead of extending it, you reduced the time with almost 1 full day. ^^"

I'd like to apologize for breaking my own rule of not editing one's own post, but the only thing changed here was the term 'Mafia' to 'Criminal' for aesthetic purposes. Again, sorry about this.

so... how about RQS

1. what team do you favour playing as?
2. what plan do you propose for us to follow?
3. what team do you think may have an advantage?
4. what phase do you think the mafia will be able to join?

the last is mainly asking at what point should we stop considering mafia to be disassembled and to be a collaborative work

my answers
1. third party, followed by mafia (yay for blatant honesty)
2. no idea lel
3. if civvies can get a good plan in action before the mafia joins then we should have an upper hand. if not, idk
4. i propose a challenge for them to be assembled by D3. but estimating, id say a bit later

1. Depending on the third party, that or mafia.
2. Kill all the mafia.
3. Too many factors.
4. We should assume the mafia will make coordinated nightkills by Night 2.
