M74 GAME INFORMATION

GM: worcej
Cohost: Eden?
Day Phase Deadline: 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern
Day Phase Length: 48 hours
Night Phase Deadline: 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern
Night Phase Length: 24 hours
Anticipated Start Date: Monday, May 16th, 2022


MAFIA OVERVIEW

Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of this game for the town majority is to kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. The objective of the mafia minority is to survive until they outnumber the town. The game is typically very active, so the thread will grow quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game.


GENERAL RULES

TL;DR - normal mafia rules.

This game follows standard WebDip Mafia Rules, located here.


MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

TL;DR - Don't be a shitlord.

Players may be warned, forcibly replaced, or modkilled for violation of game rules. The GM team will attempt to minimize disruption to the game, but will use whatever means are needed to preserve the integrity of the game.

Players who have site-wide muted other players are asked to unmute them to play this game. Players who have been silenced on webDiplomacy due to site infractions will be forcibly replaced from the game.

Players who wish to quit playing may be replaced at GM discretion. Replacement is not guaranteed. Substitutes cannot participate in spectator chats until they sub into the game and are subsequently removed from it (e.g., by dying).


VOTING

TL;DR - no changes to the voting mechanic in this game.

To vote for a player, type ##VOTE <player> (e.g. ##VOTE Eden). You may unvote by typing ##UNVOTE. You may switch from voting one player to another without unvoting first (e.g., if you ##VOTE Eden then type ##VOTE Bona, you will vote for Bona). You may choose to no-kill by typing ##UNVOTE. You don’t need to type out the player’s full name, but failing to do so may lead to ambiguity that causes errors in vote tallying, particularly with the bot. In the event of a tie vote at the end of the day, no player will be killed.

You may vote to end the day early by typing ##END. If a majority of players are voting ##END and casting the same vote (whether for a player or to no-kill), the phase will end early. If the day ends more than 8 hours into the start of the day phase, the remaining time will be added to the next night phase; if the day ends less than 8 hours into the start of the day phase, the next night phase will end 24 hours early.

SETUP INFORMATION

M74 is based on the Mafiascum setup "Follow the Cop... or Not" found here.

TOWN:
1 Compulsive Doctor
1 Semi-Paranoid Cop
6 Vanilla Towns

MAFIA:
1 Mafia Roleblocker
2 Mafia Goons

Additional Information/Explanation

1. Compulsive means the doctor must use his night action and if no action is submitted for whatever reason, their action will be randomized by the GM.
2. The doctor can save a target in consecutive nights if they want.
3. Semi-Paranoid Cop means that if the Cop is targeted by the doctor, their scan result will come back guilty no matter who they target.
4. Mafia roleblocker cannot perform the faction night kill and roleblock at the same time.
5. If anyone is roleblocked, they will receive a PM from the GM saying that they were roleblocked even if they had no night actions to perform.

Order of Operations
No weird interactions come into play, but in case this is important to someone:

1. Roleblock
2. Cop Scan
3. Night Kill
4. Doctor

Player List - In order from the signup thread because I am lazy...

Role PMs

COMPULSIVE DOCTOR - You are the Town Compulsive Doctor. Each night, you must ##SAVE a target to prevent them from being killed by the Mafia. Because you're compulsive, you will attempt to save anyone even if you cannot make up your mind (meaning if you forget to submit an order or AFK it for some reason). You win when the Mafia team is eliminated.

SEMI-PARANOID COP - You are the Town Semi-Paranoid Cop. Each night, you may ##SCAN a player. If your target is mafia-aligned, you will receive a GUILTY result. Otherwise, if your target is town, you'll receive a NOT GUILTY. However, you're a very paranoid person and like to work alone - if you are targeted by the doctor during any night, if you use your scan result, it will come back as GUILTY no matter who you scanned. You win when the Mafia team is eliminated.

VANILLA TOWN - You are a Vanilla Town. You win when the Mafia team is eliminated.

MAFIA ROLEBLOCKER - You are the Mafia Roleblocker. Each night, you may ##ROLEBLOCK a player and prevent them from executing any night action they attempt to perform. Your target will be notified that they were roleblocked. If you are performing this roleblock action, you cannot perform the mafia faction night kill. Link to the game discord is here: [REDACTED], where you can submit your role action and communicate with your teammates during night phases. You win when all members of the town have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from occurring.

MAFIA GOON - You are a Mafia Goon. Link to the game discord is here: [REDACTED], where you can submit your role action and communicate with your teammates during night phases. You win when all members of the town have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from occurring.

Please Continue to Hold - Role PMs will go out ~1 hour before game start.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

DUNN!!!

M74 has begun. You may now post.

GM note:
Life is annoying - Role PMs pretty recently went out and I have no idea if the bot works... I apologize for the haphazard start lol...

[worcej]

GM Note:
NEVERMIND on launching the game today...

Discord was not setup properly, Mafia member saw the PR roles for town. Need to re-roll roles and get discord setup correctly before can launch.

[worcej]

GM Note:
Need Eden to show up to fix the discord issue because my incapable butt cannot do it, especially via a cell phone.

FWIW - first roll had the scum team of Damo/ghug/pyxxy with Chaqa as the doctor and Maniac as the cop.

Expect us to launch tomorrow now at 2:00 PM instead...

[worcej]

GM Note #1,000,000
Eden can have discord fixed in about an hour - if you guys want to go with a 'shorter' D1 instead and have roles sent out once it's fixed, by all means let me know.

Otherwise I'll reroll and resend for tomorrow at the start time.

[worcej]

GM Note:
Discord is fixed - but no one said a word to me so we'll launch at game start time tomorrow.

M74 is officially one of our odd-duck games that'll probably be forgotten to the test of time...

[President Eden]

Sorry about the reroll and server setup error, that’s 100% on me

[Maniac]

I assume I’m still the cop until the re-roll takes place. So I’ll carry on eating donuts and shooting people for not jaywalking.

[worcej]

Okay - relaunch is officially live.

You may now post.

[ghug]

##VOTE Chaqa

When I found the God thread yesterday it said we were on different teams.

[Chaqa]

I was Doctor the first time... I was so excited.

##Vote ghug

[pyxxy]

Okay - relaunch is officially live.

You may now post.

For realsies? Cool

Time for me to actually read the setup, gotta avoid getting tunneled by Bona on D1.

[Maniac]

I’ve been thinking about two things.

1: How do you think others see you? Is your meta actually known to other people on here or do they see you completely differently to who you really are?

2: What are the chances of me rolling cop twice?

If Damo is the answer, I perhaps it wasn’t a great question. Love you Damo <<good time to get some early pocketing in
