Mafia: THE THING

[Dylflon]

The game will commence in an hour and a half. Role PMs will be going out now. Do not share these PMs with anyone.

Copy and pasting, screen shotting, or forwarding your role PM to show other players is against the rules.


RULES:

Mafia is a game of good vs. evil. The good in this case, is the arctic research team. The bad, is the bodysnatching aliens.

All roles were assigned through use of a random number generator.



The goal of the research team is to root out and eliminate all of the aliens in the game. Each player votes on who they believe is the most likely to be an alien. At the end of aevery 24 hour block, the player with the most votes is eliminated. In the event of a tie, a random number generator will be used to decide who is eliminated.

Use this formatting for voting:

I !vote for Dylflon

You may retract your vote at any time. Do not edit your old vote. Use retractions.

I !retract Dylflon.

You can vote and retract as many times as you like. Each player must vote every day.

There are also special roles on the good side. One such role is the vigilante. The vigilante can choose one player each round to remove from the game. The guardian can protect one player each round from both being killed by the vigilante and from being taken over by aliens. The seer can target one player each round to investigate. After the round, I will PM them with information about their targetted player. This information will consist of the player's role and whether or not they are infested by aliens.

Specials may at any time refrain from using an ability.

But all information regarding the targets of your special actions must be PMed to me by 10:30 am PST/2:30 pm Eastern!

The alien selects one person each turn to convert into an alien. At that time, the converted player adopts the alien's win condition and is essentially on the bad guy team.

If a player who has networked with other players has been converted, it is not against the rules for them to tell the other aliens what they know. For this reason, it is in your best interest to KEEP YOUR ROLES SECRET unless circumstance dictates otherwise.

If the vigilante/guardian/seer are converted, they maintain their special roles but use them for evil rather than good.

There are a couple hidden game mechanics in here as well to spice things up a bit.

For either side to win, the opposing side must be entirely wiped out.

-voting for each day closes at 11 am PST/2 pm Eastern

-dead players get one goodbye post but this post cannot contain any information pertaining to the game. After their one post, dead players may no longer post in the thread. Nor may they contact living players.

-The results of each day will be presented via daily narrations.

-You must have two posts per day in order to be considered an active player. Failure to do this without excuse too many times will lead to your removal from the game.

-When a player is killed, their role and infestation status will be revealed in the narration.

If you have any questions in the thread type !Clarification followed by what you want to know
