Mafia – Murder On The Polar Express

Welcome to another DLD-modded round of Mafia with 20 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, Monday, December 6, 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.

BY POPULAR DEMAND, THE CASSANDRA IS IN PLAY AGAIN! 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.

You may use this thread to vote and post about the game. Anyone (playing or not playing, eliminated or not) can use this thread to speculate, discuss, accuse, or otherwise participate in the game; just please make sure to follow regular EB forum guidelines.

To vote on a person to eliminate, mention me @DuranDuran PE and tell me specifically that 1) you are voting and 2) the username of the person you are voting to eliminate.

Example: @DuranDuran PE I vote for @tj_PE to welcome them back to mafia!

Allright, let the game begin!

Roles have been sent out. If you did not receive a PM, you are regular townie. Good luck folks!

Also, as a reminder, the following players have been granted immunity on Day 1. Votes for the following players will not count for today's lynching:

@ChebyshevII PE , @morphe83 PE , @Liz06 , @Spitfire6532

Well this part is gonna be interesting. So if we all vote for the same person, but the Cassandra does not reveal their intel, we're gonna basically know who they were because the one that got the most votes didn't die.

I am slightly confused about this role. So if they have to share the information with the group, won't everyone automatically know who the Cassandra was? Does the mafia know if the cassandra is townie or mafie aligned? Either way I would think they are unlikely to survive more than one round, maybe two if they were mafia aligned and the mafia knew.

No. The Cassandra, although required to share the information, can hide it in any form of a "data dump" kind of way.

For example: "Nole is mafia. Cheby is townie. Spitfire is the Cop. Morphe is the Doctor."

Any one of those could be the vision that was given to the Cassandra.
 
Also, Cassandra will only start receiving visions when the act that triggers them happens. Which could happen day 1, or day 5, or never.
 
Cassandra has been triggered. Cassandra will be messaged with separate instructions. Cassandra will only be allowed to speak truth this round.
^ This happened in the last round. A non-player posting in the thread was the trigger, and it happened right when the game started. It was @beccabun PE that was mafia that round, and she hid her declarations inside data dumps like I gave the example of previously.
