MAFIA 83: HALLOWE'EN IN THE TOYSHOP - GAME THREAD

#1 Post by Jamiet99uk » Fri Oct 20, 2023 8:13 pm

INTRODUCTION

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

The STANDARD RULES apply, which are at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1317 ... s05kv8seyu

VOTING

There are three types of voting within this game: collective voting to execute perceived Mafia in Day phases, collective voting to end a Day or Night phase, and Mafia voting to kill town members in Night phases.

“Daykill” vote: The first level of voting is for whom you intend to kill. Notate this vote with a pair of hash symbols before your intended vote target. (e.g., ##VOTE KESTAS) You do not need to spell out your intended target's username fully; as long as the GM can understand who you're referencing. In the event of a tie during an execution vote, no one shall be killed.

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not use double hashtags your vote will not be counted.

Must Vote: At the end of the Day phase, all participating players must have their vote on a candidate. You may ##VOTE and then ##UNVOTE if you change your mind as the Day progresses, however you may not end the phase with an ##UNVOTE in place. Anyone violating this rule will be modkilled unless there are very extenuating circumstances. Ending the day with a vote on “No Kill” is permitted.

Hammer Vote: The second level of voting is whether or not to employ the hammer mechanic. By default, days are set to 48 hours long, and nights to 24 hours long; however, players may instead elect to activate the hammer mechanic. Notate this vote with a pair of hashes before the word end. (EX: ##END). The day will end as soon as a majority of players are voting to endhammer the same player. If you are not able to vote before the hammer is dropped, you will not be penalized for failing to vote during that day. Night phases may not normally be hammered - any exception to this will be announced by the GM.

Mafia Vote: The third level of voting refers to Mafia members choosing their factional NK (nightkill) and RB (Roleblock) targets during Night phases. The mafia members will use their separate Discord thread to discuss this. Mafia NK will be decided by majority vote. In the event of a tie, the oldest vote will break the tie. The oldest vote determines which member of the Mafia team actually performs the kill, and/or the roleblock.

GM TEAM

This game’s GM is Jamiet99uk. PM him with any questions or concerns and he will get back to you as soon as possible. Note that Jamiet99uk lives in the UK so don't expect swift replies when it's 5am in the UK.

SETUP DETAILS

13 or 14 Nice Toys (Town) - all of whom are Vanilla with no powers other than powers gained via their items.

3 or 4 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.

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

17 of the above 18 possible items are in play.

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

BLOODY AXE - A gruesome Halloween prop with a deadly effect. May be used night or day. PM the GM 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 the GM 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 the GM 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 the GM 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 the GM 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 the GM 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 the GM 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 the GM in the format ##BASH [TARGET]. The target will be roleblocked.

DETECTIVE KIT - You can find the alignment of a fellow player. At night, PM the GM 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 visited 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 the GM 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 the GM in the format ##LOVE [target]. This action is not a visit. 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

Old Man Jeffrey had owned the toyshop for 35 years. His father had been a toymaker, and his grandfather had been a toymaker before that. He wasn't really a toymaker, he supposed, more of a toy-seller, since all the toys were made of plastic in a factory somewhere. Still, he liked his little shop.

It was Hallowe'en soon, so the toyshop was decked out appropriately. Huge cobwebs hung from the shelves, light-up plastic pumpkins gave a cheery orange glow, and rubber bats dangled from the ceiling.

Outside, it was raining. Dense, thick rain that pelted down and made the day seem more like night. Not much passing trade in weather like this. The old man looked at the clock. It would be time to close soon.

He remembered his grandfather told him, when he was just a small boy, that sometimes, when the stars were just right, the toys would wake up, at night, and talk to each other. He wondered what they would have to talk about.

With a wistful smile, he got up from behind the counter and put his coat on. He looked around, turned out the lights, and started to lock up...

Later, as night drew in, the rainstorm turned into a thunderstorm. Flashes of lightning and cracks of thunder rumbled outside the little old toyshop. Suddenly, there was a bigger flash - a bolt of lightning appeared to strike the building itself!

Slowly, one by one, the eyes of the toys lit up. Something magical was happening. They eased themselves out of their boxes or down from their displays, and looked around.

Some of them found they could speak.

"To infinity, and beyond!"
"By the power of Grayskull!"
"Hi! I'm Barbie! I love you very much!"

"Oooo!" said one. "Look at all those accessories in the bargain bin!"

The mob of toys raced to the bargain bin and struggled to grab themselves a cool item...

GM NOTE

There has been a f*ck up with the Discord server setup. We may need to stop and re-launch the game (before it even starts, yay).

Sorry about this.

Please stand by and don't post.

GM NOTE:

Unfortunately due to an issue with the setup of the Mafia Council template Discord server, the identities of the Mafia team have been revealed to at least one player (who was diligent and sensible enough to bring this to my attention).

Sadly, this means the game will have to be re-rolled.

First of all, therefore, please DISREGARD your original Role PM. You will be sent a new one in due course, which may feature both a different alignment and a different item.

Second of all, this means game start will be delayed until Midnight BST, or in approximately 47 minutes from now.

The Discord server will be deleted and a new one set up, which only Mafia team members will be invited to join.

Myself and the Council apologise for the error.

The story resumes...

As the newly-enchanted playthings fished in the bargain bin for kewl items, they were being watched. From a dark corner, a group of less cheerful toys eyed their fellows with contempt.

"Look at them, with their painted-on smiley faces and their cheery dispositions. They don't understand the real meaning of hallowe'en. All hallow's eve is a night where evil toys should run wild, and we shall, ha ha!"

"Yeah, those do-gooding toys are a pain in the battery compartment."

"Let's break them!"

"Yes, let's. But there are more of them than us. We'll have to be subtle..."

The evil toys continued whispering amongst themselves as the storm raged outside.

Will the Nice Toys root out the evil that lurks amongst them? Will the Evil Toys kill them all? Find out now in MAFIA 83 - HALOWE'EN IN THE TOY SHOP!

GAME HAS BEGUN

DAY HAS (EVENTUALLY) STARTED

He woke up by some distant shouting. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at the masses of toys gathering in the middle of the room. Yet another day in this toy store.

He can't remember when it was the last time he saw any other walls. Time in here crawls and there isn't much more to do than to play. Huh, play? No reason to do this here, when there are no kids to amuse.

As usual, he heard faint voices out of the box next to him. As usual, he reached to the opening slid high above and pushed the box open. As usual, green little men hopped out and saluted before him.

"Sergeant Bulldozer reporting for duty, sir!" As usual, the green little men stood before him in formation. They took this all much to serious and he got tired of it ages ago, but it meant a lot to them, so he couldn't just refuse. "At ease, sergeant. Thank you and your men. On today's agenda we have 'sweeping the perimeter' and 'keeping the order'. It is a tough job, so please look after your men, sergeant." "Uuunderstood, sir." Sergeant Bulldozer saluted and ordered his men to roll out.

As usual, he rolled out of his place on the shelf towards the 'command center'; a wooden stool made tent with a few blankets. As usual, the construction was done in a few moments, perfectly coordinated. As usual, on his way there, his tracks leaves a small trail in the carpet.

With a silent sigh he parked at his usual place, slightly north-west from the entrance where he could overlook the whole area. As usual, the other toys were very loud and lively ...
