Mafia 85 Signup: Return from Lockdown
Day Length : 48 hours
Nights: 24 hours
Phases will shift at 9:00 AM AEST (11:00 PM GMT; 6:00PM EST; 3:00PM PST)
Game will begin on Saturday January 20 9:00 AM AEST
Vote counts will be a hybrid of mafia bot and GM tally. The GM will regularly post vote counts and if you notice an error please alert me immediately.
Minimum Post Limit 1 per day phase
All players must vote each day
In the era of rampant massclaims, this idea of the "closed" setup emerged. One where the players knew their role, but not all the roles in the game. What if we took that a step further, not just closed the setup, but locked the door behind us. What if the players did not even know their own roles?
Enter, Lockdown Mafia!
As covid and the lockdowns reside, the residents of a small apartment block return to work. But they have been alone for so long, and have forgotten who they were.
Luckily for them, they live in a rent-controlled building and have time to get back on their feet.
Unluckily for them, however, is a small group of the residents having ownership of the building. They would like everyone else "removed", so that they can raise the rent and capitalise on the housing crisis. Whether that's through being evicted, or other means, is not of importance.
These next few weeks will be of great importance to the fate of the building. Who will prevail?
Find out by signing up now!

Re: Mafia 85 Signup: Return from Lockdown
Occasionally, I have work at 9am, and won't be able to adjudicate EON/EOD immediately. Would appreciate a Co-GM for these instances.
I've built a wonderful Excel table that does about 2/3 of the night adjudications for you, so it shouldn't be too hard of a job.

Re: Mafia 85 Signup: Return from Lockdown
Yay, brainbomb!
Sounds like a fun setup, Mad.
What happens if you self target? Impossible, or just follow the logic of the roles?

Some of these roles are here only to trick you into thinking you've got something good.

Re: Mafia 85 Signup: Return from Lockdown
Questions:
1. If the Doctor's target is not attacked, does that return a "success" or "failure" message to the Doctor?
2. Can all players (including, importantly, the Doctor) target the same player on consecutive nights?
3. Are players required to act every night or are they permitted to withhold their action?

Re: Mafia 85 Signup: Return from Lockdown
If there are less than 21 players
a) how do you determine maf/town split?
b) how do you determine which roles are omitted? Are any guaranteed to be in? Paper delivery boy seems vital.
