So, I've decided to host a new mafia game. It'll be a 20-player setup, and it's first-come first-serve. Sign up by just posting in this thread saying you want to play.
The largest difference between this game and past Elements mafia games is that I'm going to make this a close setup; this means that you won't know what roles are actually in play. Most if not all of the roles will resemble common mafia roles. Most of the roles will look similar to things on this page. (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)#Optional_roles) Not everyone will have a special role, however. I'll try to make it fairly balanced.
Role names will be based off of elements creatures, by the way.
I'd also like to request that anyone who plays has a commitment to the game. So yeah. If you want to see how past games have been, you can see them in the archive; I hosted number 8 and number 10. This one will be run more... organized, so I hope :p.
SAMPLE ROLE PM:
Hello, [insert name here]. You are a [insert Elements creature here], a vanilla townie.
Abilities: you have no special abilities, but you have two abilities that can and will change the outcome of the game: your voice and your vote. Use them wisely.
Win condition: you win when all players are dead whose win conditions require town members to die - that is, when all anti-town players are dead.

story:
In a peaceful town in the land of Elements, everything was peace and everyone was at peace with peace. All the elements lived in harmony. But then,
and
began to become envious. They were often considered evil, and were ostracized. Their envy grew, until they had to lash out and attack the others. Now they're on a killing spree, and you must all stop them.
(note: people with darkness/death creatures will be mafia, but they will also be provided with "fakeclaims" - creatures that are safe to claim as their role because they aren't in the setup)
RULES:1) Since we've had a problem with this before, it gets to be rule number one: under no circumstances may the mafia oust each other. They may vote for each other, accuse each other, etc - but no throwing the game is allowed. I will give you a win condition. Play to achieve it.
2) Once you are dead, you are dead. Please do not post in this thread. If you are lynched, you get one contentless "bah" post - say whatever you want, as long as it doesn't reveal anything game-related. You can say "go town!" or "dammit" but no "oh, i'm cop by the way and implosion is mafia."
3) Lynching will be decided by majority rule. Whoever has 1/2 of votes + 1 will be lynched. So on day one, with 20 people alive, 11 votes will lynch someone. As soon as the 11th vote is cast, that person is considered dead and may make their "bah" post and nothing more. If there are say, 11 people alive, then 6 votes will lynch someone.
4) I will handle vote counts. Whenever I get on (or as regularly as they're needed) I'll post a vote count.
5) In an attempt to stimulate discussion and make this more like regular forum mafia, the first day will have a 2-week deadline. Day 2+ will have 1-week deadlines. There will be a day phase and a night phase. Night phases will last 3 days - in that time, the mafia will be able to talk in quicktopics that I provide, and select who they want to kill.
6) Please refrain from talking about this game outside of this thread and quicktopics that I provide you.
7) Please do not edit posts.
8) Votes should be formatted as such: Vote: implosion. Bold tags are a good thing. it doesn't need to be large or orange.
9) Please please please please please do NOT quote anything that I PM you in this thread. Also do not quote from any quicktopics I provide. If you need to say what role you are, paraphrase.
More when i think of more :p
