That item is no longer in the setup.

[Kakarroto]

Uhhhh, item madness AND hallowien theme ...

I'm very intrigued, though time would be an issue. I'll look what I can do to mitigate this, so I might be able to join, in the mean time, please keep my seat warm

Some initial information about what I mean by "Item Madness":

There will be two teams:

The Nice Toys (Town) - all of whom are Vanilla with no powers other than powers gained via their items.

The Evil Toys (Mafia) - the Mafia team has a factional nightkill, and a factional roleblock. The individual team members have no powers other than the powers gained via their items.

Every player will start the game with a randomly-rolled, single-use item. A small number of these items are town-only, but the vast majority could go to a player of either alignment.

The list of possible items is with the Council for final approval and will be posted soon.

LIST OF ITEMS

ALL ITEMS ARE SINGLE USE
- 2x BLOODY AXE
- 2x SLUTTY NURSE COSTUME*
- 2x SKELETAL ARMOUR
- REPLACEMENT SKULL
- ELECTRO-SHIELD*
- BADASS MOTORCYCLE COVERED IN FLAMES
- POWER PILL
- SLIME GRENADE
- MASK and SWAG BAG (one set)
- HALLOWEEN GREETINGS CARD*
- BIG PLASTIC SCYTHE
- DETECTIVE KIT*
- STICKY TOFFEE!
- REPAIR KIT
- CANDY HEART

(Items marked * will only be randomly distributed to Town players. All others will be distributed entirely at random)

BLOODY AXE - A gruesome halloween prop with a deadly effect. May be used night or day. PM both GMs in the format ##ATTACK [TARGET]. At night it adjudicates at EoN. During the day the attack will be adjudicated as soon as the GM sees your message. (There are up to TWO axes at the start of the game)

SLUTTY NURSE COSTUME - For some reason dressing up as a nurse is popular at some hallowe'en parties. This outfit provides a one-use Doctor save. At night, PM both GMs in the format ##SAVE [TARGET]. Saves against all types of kill at night. This item is only used up when a save is performed - if the save target is not attacked, the Nurse Costume is still in play. (There are up to TWO nurse's kits at the start of the game).

SKELETAL ARMOUR - A spooky-looking armoured breastplate and a skull helmet. Protects against one killing attempt and is then destroyed. (There are up to TWO sets of armour at the start of the game).

REPLACEMENT SKULL - If a player with this item is daykilled, they will not die, resulting in a no-kill that day.

ELECTRO-SHIELD - If the player with this item is targeted by the Mafia Roleblock, the roleblock will fail, and the Mafia Roleblock will be unavailable the following night. The Electro-Shield is then expended.

BADASS MOTORCYCLE COVERED IN FLAMES - Provides a one-use commute. At night, PM both GMs in the format ##COMMUTE. A player commuting is immune from all other night actions that night. (Motorcycle use itself can be blocked).

POWER PILL - Temporarily increases voting power. At night, PM both GMs in the format ##TAKE PILL. The player's vote is doubled for the next Day only. This will not be reflected in Vote Counts during the day, but will be shown in the final tally (without specifically identifying the player).

SLIME GRENADE - An annoying, but not deadly, area of effect weapon. Can be thrown during the DAY only, and not within the final 15 minutes of the day. PM both GMs in the format ##THROW GRENADE AT [TARGET]. All of the votes on the target's wagon will be cancelled, as well as the vote of the target themself, and the player who threw the grenade. Affected players may not vote again during that day. They regain their vote as normal the next day.

MASK and SWAG BAG - The equipment of a clichéd burglar. At night, PM both GMs in the format ##ROB [TARGET]. You will visit the target and steal any item in their possession. You may then use that item from the next relevant phase.

HALLOWEEN GREETINGS CARD - You may pay a friendly visit to a player of your choice at night. PM both GMs in the format ##VISIT [TARGET]. They will be aware of your visit, and you will reveal your alignment to them. Optionally you may write a message of up to 10 words in the card, if you wish. This will be revealed to the target as well.

BIG PLASTIC SCYTHE - Not a weapon effective enough to kill, but you can bash a fellow player over the head and stun them. At night, PM both GMs in the format ##BASH [TARGET]. The target will be roleblocked.

DETECTIVE KIT - You can find the alignment of a fellow player. At night, PM both GMs in the format ##SCAN [TARGET]. You will learn their alignment.

STICKY TOFFEE! - Not so much an item, as a condition. A horrible messy child who was eating a hallowe'en toffee apple has been playing with you, and you are very sticky. The first night that you are targeted by another player (or players), any item-based actions targeted on you will fail, and you will take any items those players are carrying, as they stick to you. The sticky coating then thankfully wears off.

REPAIR KIT. Once per game (night or day) you may recover any one item that has already been used, or lost, and return it to working order with one additional charge. PM both GMs in the format ##REPAIR [Item]. You may then use the item in the next applicable phase. Note that if you select an item that has not yet been used or dropped, your repair kit is wasted.

CANDY HEART - During N1, you *must* choose another player by PMing both GMs in the format ##LOVE [target]. While the object of your passion remains alive, you are immune from all killing actions at night. If your target dies, you will also die.

ORDER OF NIGHT ACTIONS:

1. All roleblocking actions
2. Candy Heart choice
3. Mask theft
4. Motorcycle
5. Detective Kit / Card Visit / Power Pill
6. All killing actions
7. All saving actions
8. Repair Kit

Mafia is go

[DarthPorg36]

If you still need another player, I'd be interested, although I'd love a summary of how webdip forum mafia works. I've played in-person mafia, but not this version before.

[damo666]

Yeah

Jeebus, the utter madness!!!!

Hi Darth!

Great that you're interested. One place to start might be to read a few selections of pages (probably not the whole thing) of the last Game Thread:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4921

This was a small-ish game in terms of player count, and it had a very simple setup.

To summarise, we play by posting in the forum, in a special game thread.

The game is separated into Daytime phases (which typically last 48 hrs), and Night phases (which typically last 24 hrs).

During the Daytime only, everyone casts a vote on who they suspect is Mafia. Players can change their vote as many times as they like, but at the end of the Day, once the timer runs out, whoever has the most votes is removed from the game and their Alignment and Role are revealed. Also during the day, everyone talks. Through discussion, the Town players try to work out who the Mafia are, and the Mafia try (in various ways) to avoid suspicion and cause a "mis-kill" whereby a Town player is voted out.

During the Night, there is no voting, but surviving players may still talk. During the Night, the Mafia players have access to a special hidden chat (usually facilitated using Discord) where they can speak in private. Collectively the Mafia decide who they wish to kill during the night. That person is revealed as dead, and their Alignment and Role are revealed, at the start of the Day (whereupon the Mafia Chat closes for the phase).

Some powers or items give individual players actions which they can take at Night (and, more rarely, during the day). These can involve investigative powers (a "Cop Scan" which reveals a player's alignment to the Cop), healing powers (a "Doc Save" which can save a player from being night-killed by the Mafia) and a range of others.

Participation does require you to be quite active and willing to check the forum several times a day. During Day One of the (small) game linked above, for example, three players each made more than 40 separate posts, and even the least active player made 15 posts. Bear this in mind if you sign up (thanks!).

I hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any questions.
