[worcej]

Mini-Mafia [insert number]: Interesting Facts Addition.

All standard mafia rules for behavior and gameplay apply, unless specified differently below.

Players are allowed to +1 any post in the thread, as long as they remain alive.

SETUP

• The setup is linked here: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?ti ... ster_Mafia
• Doctor is not one-shot, but able to be used every night
• Doctor will learn if services were needed or not
• Mafia have a faction RB to combat PRs
• Phases are 24/24
• There is no talking in the main thread during night phases - this is a trial to see if this is something we want to repeat or not.
• One player is day-killed during the day as per usual using standard voting
• One player is night-killed by the mafia during the night
• Standard voting (make a vote during day) and posting requirements (Post twice) are required to avoid sub/modkill.

NIGHT ORDER ADJUDICATION

1. Roleblock
2. Cop Scan
3. Mafia Faction NK
4. Doctor

WIN CONDITIONS

• Jester can only win if they are DK'ed. If the Jester wins, the mafia and town can still also win.
• Town wins when all 3 mafia players are eliminated.
• Mafia wins when they control 50% of the vote. This means when the game gets to 6 players and 3 of them are mafia, the mafia immediately wins.

ROLE PM'S:

TOWN ROLE PM'S:

VT:
You are a Vanilla Town, the most important member of the town.

Your weapon is your vote, you have no night actions.

You win when the mafia faction is eliminated.

Cop:
You are the Town Cop, the most vilified member of the town (due to the massive amount of speeding tickets you have issued to your other town peoples).

Each night phase, you may investigate one player in the game by PM'ing the GM. You will get results back in the form of "Mafia" or "Not Mafia".

You win when the mafia faction is eliminated.

Doctor:
You are the Town Doctor, the most eligible bachelor in this small town.

Each night phase, you may protect a player in the game from being night killed by PM'ing the GM. You will receive one of two statements for your visit: 'Your services were not needed' or 'Your services were needed'.

You win when the mafia faction is eliminated.

MAFIA ROLE PM:
You are a member of the mafia. See the QT for your teammates. You have a faction night kill and roleblock to enable your potential success.

During any night-phase, you can communicate with your fellow mafia members here: <QT link>

You win the game once your faction controls 50% of the vote.

JESTER PM:
You are the Jester, the random weirdo living in a van down by the river.

It is your mission to get yourself eliminated during the day phase. You have no night actions.

If you fail to do so, you lose the game.

DO NOT POST YET.

STILL DON'T POST!

[worcej]

Role PMs are out. Game starts in 45 minutes-ish.

Some questions I think may be asked:

1. Can the doctor self save? Yes
2. Can the doctor target the same person every night? Yes
3. What does the Jester scan as? Not Mafia
4. Who is the mafia? Figure it out
5. So we really are expected to not post in the thread at nights? Yes, we are trialing this system in this game for others to reflect on what they think about it.

PLEASE DON'T POST STILL.

Mini-Mafia Interesting Facts Opening Post

Interesting Facts about Guns

1. As of 2015, Americans own approximately 270 million guns, which gives America the highest rate of gun ownership with, 89 guns for every 100 people.
2. Approximately 20% of gun owners own 65% of the guns.
3. Based off the above posts, and doing some rough math, that means 3 out of 10 Americans own a gun.
4. During the spring of 2020, when COVID-19 broke out in the U.S, Americans purchased approximately 17 million firearms during the spring and summer, with many citizens buying their first guns.
5. Of all U.S. states, 34 implement Stand Your Ground, a law allowing the use of deadly force with a firearm to defend oneself from severe physical harm or possible death. However, the “duty to retreat” noted in the law often foreshadows that the self-defense law does not result in a criminal penalty if upheld.
6. The Lafayette-Washington steel-mounted “saddle” pistols reportedly carried by George Washington during the 1777 encampment at Valley Forge sold for more than $1.9 million at a Christie’s auction located in London and New York.
7. Over the past 50 years, gun owners have been responsible for over $2 billion in wildlife conservation in the United States due to 10% tax on guns and ammo.
8. A gun can fire in space because gunpowder contains its own oxidizer.
9. The filmmakers of "Lord of War" used a real stockpile of over 3,000 AK-47s because it was cheaper than getting prop guns.
10. During the filming of “World War Z,” the Hungarian Anti-Terrorism Unit raided a warehouse full of prop guns for the film. The guns were all found to be fully functional and had been flown in under false pretenses for the movie.
11. Russians astronauts take guns into space to protect themselves against bears if they land off-course.
12. In 2000, a man from Houston, Texas killed himself whilst playing Russian roulette with a semi-automatic weapon. He did not realize that this type of weapon automatically chambered a round when the gun is cocked. He later won a Darwin Award.
13. There is only one legally operated gun store in all of Mexico.
14. TASER is short for ‘Thomas A Swift’s Electric Rifle’.
15. Shotgun manufacturer Mossberg has a line of guns specially designed for killing zombies.

Day 1 has started. You may now post.

Hello

Is it me you're looking for

[ghug]

Hello I am back. It appears I have missed nothing ##VOTE snowy

[Hamilton Brian]

Thanks Lionel Ritchie!

[snowy801]

I would like to say a few things to start this game off.

1. Speaking of guns, as I am purely unadulterated vanilla town there is absolutely no reason anyone should shoot me on night one. Please refrain yourselves from shooting me, attractive as the prospect may be.

2. I move that we vote off foodcoats, as empirical evidence from my enormously sample sized study demonstrates that this poor sod is phenomenally talented at being misvoted so we may as well get it over sooner rather than later. ##vote foodcoats

Thank you for your understanding. Have a nice day.

[dargorygel]

"few" is not two. Ever. I was condemned for this error as GM recently.
##VOTE snowy.

[snowy801]

Interesting that someone would take the time to condemn you for minor grammatical faux pas rather than your tendency to treat valuable archaeological findings as Sunday entertainment.

[snowy801]

"few" is not two. Ever. I was condemned for this error as GM recently.
##VOTE snowy.

Also:

While many people would agree that "a few" means three or more, the actual dictionary definition of "a few" is, "not many but more than one." So, "a few" cannot be one, but it can be as low as two.

darg caught blatantly lying in 4k. ##vote dargorygel

foodcoats, you live this time.

...but wait, could he just be the jester baiting the room with his filthy lies? Discuss

[Johnny Big Horse]

I remember reading somewhere that the state of Wisconsin has the world's 4th largest army. That is, if you consider all gun owners army and you don't consider any other state in the US. Think about it...6 million people x 30% = 2 million fighters. Can't invade that.

Ok, no more irrelevant posts.

[Johnny Big Horse]

## Vote Worchez

[Vecna]

Darg recently learned a new trick so if he townreads me, I shall probably townread him.

Ghug never learned a new trick, so I shall probably never townread him.

Johnny big horse is a multi-trick pony. I shall probably adore him.

[bozotheclown]

I have a theory that ghug and dargorygel are bussing snowy.

##VOTE snowy

[bozotheclown]

Also, since snowy claims to be a VT, there is a 6/10 chance he is a VT and 4/10 he is not town.

Wisconsin is listed as 28th among the states in gun ownership and 20th in population, so I do not know why Wisconsin would be singled out for this fact.

Spotted HB lurking earlier.

While checking out the thread without posting is not an inherent crime, I will make a big deal out of it and try to get him voted later for it.

[foodcoats]

Hello fellow town members

Let us proceed to the catching of scum

HB did post. What do you make of that?
