Below is everything you need to know to play Mafia: Star Wars* -
What Is Mafia?
Mafia is a game where you use your wits to decipher who is good and evil among a group of players.
The Basic Rules:
The "galaxy" consists of all players in the game. Included in the galaxy is a small number of bad guys. The bad guys all know one another at the beginning of the game, but nobody else knows anything about anyone other than themselves.
Each day (normally 24-hour period) the galaxy discusses and publically votes for one person to be executed that night. At the same time, the bad guys choose one person to kill each night and PM the name to Bond.
The good side wins if all of the bad guys die. The bad side wins if the number of good guys is less than or equal to the number of bad guys (on the assumption that at that point, they control the vote plus get their kill, so it's inevitable).
There will be three "special" roles among the good guys. Exactly who holds each role is only known to that person.
At the end of each round, I will give the details of who died, and whether or not they were a bad guy. The same notification will be given if a good special dies.
The Special Roles:
Seer -- once per round can "investigate" a particular person and find out from the narrator if that person is a good or bad guy, and if a good guy, whether or not that person is the Vigilante or Guardian.
Vigilante -- once per round can kill a person of his choosing.
Guardian -- once per round can protect someone from any death other than execution by the galaxy. They cannot protect themselves.
The Ground Rules:
You may not communicate regarding the game with someone who is dead, nor may dead players communicate about the game with active players. Dead players are also prohibited from posting in game threads. The second you read that you've died in the last round, you are no longer able to post in the game with the exception of one goodbye message that has absolutely no game relevant information in it.
You may not use any anonymous method of communication to discuss the game.
You may not use screencaps to "prove" anything to anyone. If I see anyone post a screen cap of their role PM or copy and paste any PM I've given them, they will be removed from the game.
Every player is required to make two game relevant posts (not spam) in every game thread. Each player is also expected to vote every round. Any player who fails to post twice or vote for more than two rounds will be removed from the game.
How To Play:
Every player gets to vote for the person they think is evil each round. Good characters generally have nothing to go on but instinct. Evil players, however, know the identity of all the bad guys in the game and therefore will vote strategically against the good guys.
To vote type in red and bold: I !Vote [Player Name].
You may retract a vote at any time before the rounds end and recast that vote. To retract use bold and lime: I !Retract [Player Name]
There is a voting deadline every round that has to be met. This deadline will be variable depending upon the round.
Any votes or retractions made after that deadline do not count.
Bad players have to decide mutually on a target to kill each round. A representative must PM Bond their choice before the end of the round.
Same rule applies to the vigilante, the guardian, and the seer. Each must PM their actions before rounds end.
Multiple PMs can be sent if you change your mind, I will go by the most recent PM received before the end of the round.
Order of action priority is as follows:
Seer --> Guardian --> Vigilante --> Bad Guys --> Vote
Remember, players cannot be protected from the vote by the guardian. If the player with the most votes dies some other way, the vote will pass down to the person with second largest amount of votes. In the event of a tie, I will flip a coin.
General Story / Narrations:
I will be explaining the events of the story in the form of narration. The narration will be told from the perspective of different player characters. Everyone has been randomly assigned a character position and whether or not they are evil. Your notifications will be PMed to you within the next day.
For the purposes of gameplay, all characters whose perspective we see in narration will treat that character as if they are innocent, even if they are not.
The character roles have nothing to do with the game. They are entirely for thematic purposes. Who was evil as well as who was a good guy special was decided randomly after all roles were randomly assigned.
Plot:
The galaxy is in great peril. The Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, both weakened from years of military unrest, continue to battle for control of the galaxy. Most observers now believe the elongated conflict is finally reaching its end, and only one faction will survive.
Will it be the Rebel Alliance?
Or will it be the Galactic Empire?
You decide!
