Mafia – An Office Game
Welcome to another
JK-Mod/Semi-classic round of Mafia with 16 players.
There are town members and mafia. Townies must try to find and eliminate the mafia with extreme prejudice before they are eliminated. The game ends when either all of the Mafia is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer townsfolk than Mafia members (Mafia wins).
The game will start today,
Tuesday, November 9, 2021. Lynching will be allowed on the first day. Mafia can lynch the first night. In the event the game extends to the weekend, the game will be in extended night phase starting Friday night and resuming the Monday morning.
This is a game has a special character with a trigger element (that has been slightly adjusted) as well as some mafia voting clarification!
There are townsfolk (townies), and Mafia members. Townsfolk are going to try to eliminate the Mafia with extreme prejudice before the Mafia eliminates them. The game ends when either all of the Mafia is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer townsfolk than Mafia members (Mafia wins).
During the day, everybody (townsfolk and Mafia) will publicly vote for a person to eliminate; I will eliminate the person with the most votes at the end of the day and reveal what their role was.
The Mafia members are going to privately tell me who they would like to eliminate during the night. A minimum of two mafia votes is needed to make a killing (because the mafia is a family and as long as two are alive, agreement must be met).
If the town lynching narrative is being posted the next morning, due to me being exhausted by work, I will reveal the lynched person's affiliation and/or role before the night kill/morning narrative.
In addition to regular townsfolk and members of the Mafia, there is also a Doctor and a Cop. The Doctor can choose someone to “save” during the night; if they choose the same person the Mafia chose, then that player will escape elimination by the Mafia that night. The Cop can “investigate” players during the day and will have their intel before the lynching.
THERE IS A RETURNING SPECIAL ROLE THIS GAME: THE CASSANDRA! The Cassandra player does not know they have this role until a trigger occurs in the game and/or thread. A trigger could be reaching a certain page number or by player actions in the thread (like ghost votes, triple posts, etc.). The trigger is picked before the game begins. The Cassandra can be either mafia or townie alignment and once triggered, they will receive a special PM that explains their new role.
The Cassandra is similar to the investigator, where they will find out information about a player (i.e., what their role is), but they do not have a choice on who the information is about. The information will come to them as a vision (overnight PM) every night until end of game and/or they are killed. Unlike the investigators, the Cassandra
MUST share their information with the thread. If they do not reveal their information, they will automatically be lynched that evening by the townies whether they are voted for or not. This will override all voting blocks.
The Mafia members know who each other are, but no one knows anyone else’s role except me. I have sent more specific instructions to the members of the Mafia, the Doctor, and the Cop. If you did not receive a PM from me, then you are a regular townsfolk/townie.
