[Mafia] Mafia IV - Factions

Mafia IV - Factions



Town 2 Mafia 1

This is the fourth wave of Mafia influx, looking to take over a town, but has the success of their last operation in KirkCeltic gone to their heads?

Possibly, because unlike previous incarnations, the Mafia has split. This time there will be 2 factions of Mafia active in this game!

There will be 2 factions of Mafia, each consisting of 2 members.

But only one can win the Game. So the Mafia in addition to taking out the town will need to hunt out and eliminate their competition also.

The opposing Mafia will not know who each other is. This will change the game in a way never seen before in TC Mafia.

Who will win? Town or one of the Factions?

Game Structure

Asalways, the game will be divided into 2 cyclical phases. A 'Day' and a 'Night' phase.

Night Actions

There will be a deadline set for this of roughly 24hrs (although it will be quicker if all actions are in earlier we can move on and keep the ball rolling) for those of you with an assigned role to confirm your actions (if any) you wish to take through the 'Night'.

During the night phase, please refrain from posting in this thread. Ideally it would be locked/unlocked but need Mod powers to do this, lol. :smiley-laughing002: Though thankfully the Mods have stepped up in this capacity. Thanks, guys!

Day Actions

At the outset of each 'Day', I will update this thread with anything that happened through the night, in terms of deaths (if any), in addition to revealing any role that this person had.

At which point, the town (including everyone who has a role) can discuss what has happened, and decide of a course of action? Who is suspicious etc and if you wish, can elect to lynch someone.

For those of you new to this, there are no hidden clues in my write ups. They are done just to entertain and push the narrative forward. Any co-incidences are purely that: a co-incidence.

It takes a majority to lynch. For example, say there is 12 in the game, it takes 7 votes to lynch.

You would do this in this thread. If you wish to lynch someone simply type Vote: [player name]

Through the course of which, if you wish to change your mind you can do so, by posting Unvote: [players name]

This can be done as often as you desire during the day phase, until either a majority is reached or a deadline expires. Please note, now that there are enough people with at least some experience of this, there will be absolutely no rescinding of votes to lynch once a majority is achieved.


When you are voting if you could bold these, it makes it easier for anyone to spot. I will also try as best I can to update any running tally when I can during the day phases.


Please note however:

Once a lynching majority is reached, the game is immediately frozen.

If no majority is reached by the deadline, there will be no lynch action for that day.

Once a majority is reached or deadline expires, please do not post in the thread until I have had a chance to write a quick recap of the final tally etc as well as reveal any role that the person had, before moving on to the next Night phase.


Pacing of the Game

A Day may last 2 days or so, just because people are on at different times and may need to defend themselves etc and am not looking to force the pace too much, given that this may be a bit new to many of you.

Likewise, a Night phase will probably last roughly 24 hrs (or until I get action requests as required).

I will set deadlines at the beginning of each phase, but if all night activities are messaged to me (during a night phase) or a lynching majority is reached, we will move on.

Death

Ugh, it sucks. But once you are dead ~ by lynch or by nightkill ~ you are dead. No further contribution to the game. No death post. No discussion of the game anywhere. Simply observe the game as it plays out, and wait for it to wrap up before you speak about it with anyone.

Obviously, I can’t punish you for this, but it is bad form and the only thing I can realistically do is effect your winnings.

Don’t forget, you still win the game if your team does, even in death

There is of course prize v$ up for grabs.

v$300,000

to EVERY member of the winning faction; be it Town or Mafia.

There may be additional bonuses awarded!

Hopefully, this makes Sense?

If there is any questions, please ask in this thread, and will do the best I can to answer these so that everyone can see, as this is probabaly going to be a bit new to a lot of you. :smiley-laughing002:

To sign up, select an available number from the list below.

As noted above, roles have already been randomly been assigned to a number via random.org so it is a bit of potluck involved here. It has been generated prior to this being posted, and is not the same as the previous games. :icon_mrgreen:

Roles

Aside from the Mafia, there will be 3 'power' Town roles.

Town Cop
Town Doctor
Jailkeeper

My next post will include the roles descriptions, so everyone is aware of what each role is and what their limitations etc are.

Also, please note that people can 'role-claim' during the game. There are obviously pros and cons of this, though whether or not you believe someone or not is who they say they are is entirely up to you.

For those who want to sign up, pick a number.

I have been contacted by some that have not previously played, and will be reserving 1 spot for The Prof, and anyone new is always welcome, along with those that areup for a return. Always makes and creates some new dynamics. But as always, it is first in, first served.

Welcome, [Player Name]. You are a member of the [ colour ] Mafia, along with your partner, [Player Name].

Faction communication: You may talk with your partner.

Note unlike previous games you may have played, this is only valid at night.

During the daytime, you are limited to talking in the game thread along with the town

Faction kill: Each night phase, one of you or your partner may perform the factional kill. To do this, post in your faction PM chain the bolded words Nightkill: [Player name].

Notes:

1 - In the case of disagreement between you two, the first to post the nightkill as outlined will decide the target. Once posted, this can not be changed, so be sure of your intent.

2 - Should you attempt to nightkill the same person as The Doctor chooses to pay a housecall to, your attack will fail, and the goings-on of the night will be revealed the following morning.

3 - Should you and the opposing Mafia attempt to nightkill the same victim, your attacks will cancel each other out, and the intended victim will survive. This will be all be revealed to the town, along with the intended target's name.

4 - You can be nightkilled by the opposing Mafia. You can be protected by the Town's Doctor from this fate.

5 - Should you manage a successful kill, it will be revealed whether the kill was carried out by the Purple or Red Mafia.

Win condition:

You win when the other mafia team is eliminated and you control 50% of the town or nothing can prevent this from occurring.



Welcome, [Player Name]. You are the sole representative of law enforcement for the Town.

Abilities:

Each night phase, you may choose one person to investigate. To do so, use this PM chain to specify one name like so; Investigate: [player name]. Only the first person you ask for each night will be investigated, so be sure of your intent. In return you will receive a Guilty/Not Guilty response showing whether they are Town or Mafia-aligned. No further details than that (e.g. Power roles) will be revealed to you.

This is a power that you may only use 3 times in the entire game.

Win condition:

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and there is at least one town player alive.



Welcome, [Player Name], you are the Town Doctor.

Abilities:

Each night phase, you may pay a house call to one player in the game, and protect that player from being nightkilled.

To do so, use this PM chain to specify one name like so; Visit: [player name].

Only the first person you ask for each night will be protected, so be sure of your intent.

If an attempt is made on that person's life, it will be revealed to the Town that there was, and that they were saved by 'the Town Doctor'.

Otherwise, no info about the Doctor's night actions will be released.


Notes

1 - You can choose to protect yourself.
2 - You can not protect the same person on consecutive nights.



Welcome, [Player Name]. You are the Town's Jailkeeper.

Abilities:

Each night phase, you may choose one person to imprison. To do so, use this PM chain to specify one name like so; Imprison: [player name].

This player will be blocked from performing any night-actions. i.e. They can still be investigated by the cop, but they are prevented from performing any night action.

Notes:
You do not have to use this ability on a given night.

You can not imprison yourself.
