=================================================
MAFIA 88 - MURDER AT THE MEADERY
=================================================


GM: Chaqa

All deadlines are at 4 PM EDT (UTC-4).

The game begins today at that time.

Standard Rules & Addendums:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1317yTgrMyXoCIJBoNK6_-oR__qDXB-HyI2ragf83yiE/edit?pli=1#heading=h.1hfgd0icl9mb

Standard rules apply, with the following changes/modifications:
  • During the night phase, the game thread shall be locked and no posts may be made in it by anyone except for the GM.
  • There will be a maximum post limit of 150 posts per day phase. This will be lifted during the final hour of the day. Please do not take this as challenge - I am trying to make the game easier to play and keep up with.
  • Rule 14, which is quoted below for reference, is extended to include not just votes but all posts. This has been deemed appropriate by Council.
Rule 14. When casting a vote in the game thread, all players must use a legible font, including a font size which can be read without needing to zoom in or quote the post.
Setup Information: 18 players
14 Town
- (1) Beekeeper (Inventor)
- (1) Clerk (Cop)
- (1) Barrel Maker (Jailer)
- (10) Vanilla Worker (Vanilla Town)
- (1) Miller (receives VT role PM)

Note: I added 1 Miller to account for the 18th player and to give a slight balance adjustment.

4 Mafia
- (3) Goons
- (1) Foreman (Godfather)
- The Mafia team have a factional nightkill and roleblock. However, a mafia member must be designated to make the kill. If none is specified, this will be the first mafia member to vote for the kill target. If the mafia making the kill is jailed, the kill will be prevented.

Role PMs:
Vanilla Town/Worker:
You are a Vanilla Worker. Each day, you must vote for someone to be eliminated. You scan as Town. You win when all mafia are eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening.
Miller: for reference only; the Miller will receive the VT PM
You are the Miller. Each day, you must vote for someone to be eliminated. You scan as Mafia. You win when all mafia are eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening.
Beekeeper:
You are the Beekeeper. Each day, you must vote for someone to be eliminated. You scan as Town. You win when all mafia are eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening.

Each night, you may give a player one of your items. These items do not exist until you give them to a player. Once an item has successfully been given, you may not give it again. The items are:
  • Honey: a player receiving honey's vote will count as 2 votes in the final vote count at the end of the following day. This will only be shown in the total vote count of the wagon they were on.
  • BEES!: a player receiving bees will be able to eliminate one player at any point during a day phase, so long as it is not within the final hour of the phase.
  • Beekeeper's Suit: a player receiving the beekeeper's suit will be protected from being killed once (this works on the mafia night-kill and the bees, but not the daykill)
Clerk:
You are the Clerk. Each day, you must vote for someone to be eliminated. You scan as Town. You win when all mafia are eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening.

Each night, you may choose a player to check their employment paperwork. You will learn their alignment (TOWN or MAFIA). The Foreman and all town roles except the Miller scan as Town, while Goons and the Miller scan as Mafia.
Barrel Maker:
You are the Barrel Maker. Each day, you must vote for someone to be eliminated. You scan as Town. You win when all mafia are eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening.

Each night, you may choose a player to seal in a barrel for the night. The player will be roleblocked, preventing them from performing any night actions, and will also be jailed, protecting them from death. You may prevent the mafia night-kill if the mafia member making the kill is jailed, or save the target if the target is jailed.
Mafia Roles:
Goon:
You are a Mafia Goon. Each day, you must vote for someone to be eliminated. You scan as Mafia. You win when all town are eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening. Your teammates are X, Y, and Z and you the discord link is: LINK.
Foreman:
You are the Mafia Foreman. You plan to take over the meadery as revenge for being passed over for upper management. Each day, you must vote for someone to be eliminated. You scan as Town. You win when all town are eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening. Your teammates are X, Y, and Z and you the discord link is: LINK.

Pre-Game Flavor:

Image

Among the temperate forests and sheer cliff-sides of the continent-island of Dürig-fjell, one will find many small villages and towns built around one or two major businesses, enterprises, or industries. In the west, the residents are primarily enterprising and hearty Highland Dwarves, focused on mining and lumber harvesting. In the eastern cape, other Dwarves and seafaring Dragonborn form a variety of small villages centered on fishing, exports, or craft goods.

Our story brings us to one such village - Melodia. Thanks to the temperate climate and nearby fast-flowing river, Melodia finds itself uniquely well-suited to the keeping of honeybees and production of mead. Here one will find the Melodia Meadery, run by the Barrelbeard Family. It is a highly profitable enterprise, with its mead being considered the finest in the realms. This has made the family and citizens very prosperous.

Recently, a new Brewmaster was chosen to oversee the meadery. The Foreman, feeling spurned, has reached out to a rival brewing family to plot a takeover. Over a year, they get three agents hired and plan their coup...

Please continue to not post. I am sending our role PMs now.

A new version of posting quotas is suggested by the "exactly" here: anyone not posting *exactly* 150 times in a particular phase is immediately eliminated.

Future GMs, feel free to steal this idea. You're welcome.

Are you mafia with Just again?

I looked at your M86 D1 interaction with Just after he started bussing you a number of times, and always concluded it was unlikely to be S/S, so nice job protecting Just in that game.

Was Just providing a random number for that vote, or is it based on M87? It looks like Balki pushed to get you DKed it that game.
