Murder Mystery Masquerade



Since we are playing this game during my birthday month, and potentially on my birthday. We will have a Birthday themed Mafia Game. There are Revelers (Townies) and Killjoys (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 Killjoys is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer Revelers than Killjoys members (Mafia wins). Honestly, I'll be making it up as I go. There may or may not be a storyline everyday, depending on my time allotment.

The game will start, Tuesday, February 1, 2022. 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 phases starting evening Friday Feb 4 through morning Feb 7 (mod birthday), evening Feb 11 through morning Feb 14.

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 Revelers (townies), and Killjoys (Mafia members). Revelers are going to try to eliminate the Killjoys with extreme prejudice before the Killjoys eliminates them. The game ends when either all of the Killjoys is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer Revelers than Killjoys (Mafia wins).

During the day, everybody (Revelers and Killjoys) 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). *Unless only one mafia remains.

Lynches victims will have their roles publicly revealed. Nightkilled victims will not have their role revealed.

In addition to regular townsfolk and members of the Mafia, there is also a Croaker (doctor) and a Sleuth (cop). The Croaker can choose someone to “save” during the night; if they choose the same person the Killjoys chose, then that player will escape elimination by the Mafia that night. The Sleuth 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 Killjoy (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 Reveler (regular townsfolk/townie).

You may use this thread to vote and post about the game. Anyone (playing or not playing, and not yet 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. If you have been eliminated, you cannot post information that may sway votes during the game.

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

Please submit your votes in this thread by 9:00 PM EST/8:00 PM Central/7:00 PM Mountain/6:00 PM Pacific Time/Whatever Roar and Bly-time.

A couple of rules:

1) You may use this thread to vote and post about the game
2) Anyone who is an active participant in the game can use this thread to speculate, discuss, accuse, or otherwise participate in the game; just please make sure to follow regular EB forum guidelines.

3) Players who have been eliminated must limit game thread speculation to those things that will not sway votes of the remaining active players. They may continue to use the thread to post in the thread, makes jokes, join in the conversation, post pet pics, or whatever so long as it’s not game affecting. Selective snark is fine of course.

4) Your vote only counts if you are playing and not yet eliminated.
5) If there is a tie for most votes, I will either ask for 10 rounds of RPS or use a randomizer in a best of 3 round.
6) EB PMing is allowed this round. The MOD must be invited to all private PM threads for no other reason than the pure entertainment value).
7) All votes via PM will not count unless they are specifically for Mafia actions.
8) Votes submitted after the deadline will count towards the following day.
9) You are not allowed to reveal your role, privately or publicly, after you have been eliminated. You may not post screengrabs of private messages in this thread.
10) Please keep all trash talk in the thread and don’t take things too seriously!
11) New players get a free pass on the first day. No lynches/no night kill. New players this around are: none

12) Starting on day 2 (Thursday), if you don’t vote for someone, it will count towards a vote for yourself.

EDIT [1/31/2022 7:36PM PST] : Rule 13 ** Players cannot be added to any PM threads after their untimely demise. Players can remain and participate in any threads they were already a part of prior to their death.




Please feel free to ask questions in the thread!

I know it's been a part of the game in the beginning, but how would we feel about tweaking the "anyone can speculate in this thread" rule?

Maybe we limit speculation and things that have the potential to sway the game to only those who are still playing (i.e. not eliminated) that round.
Eliminated players, observers, etc. could still post in the thread, makes jokes, join in the conversation, post pet pics, or whatever so long as its not game affecting. Selective snark is fine of course.

I'd also be okay with instituting an honor system rule that would prevent eliminated players from posthumously being added to PM threads. Players already in PMs prior to elimination can stay and continue to comment as they see fit. Much like how mafia members stay in their threads and continue to talk with their fellow mafia.

Lastly, I like @beccabun PE idea of having the mod included in the townie thread. I go farther and that the mod should be copied on all game threads. I did that once when I modded the hunger games round. And it was so much fun to watch!
Are we including these rules too?
 
Are we including these rules too?
I think I captured them all in the rules. If I missed something specific, let me know. :)

Edit: I think I missed adding the "players cannot be posthumously added to PM Threads... but since the game hasn't officially started, I'll add it to the game rules now.

@BlueBlueprintPE I think you are missing a few people who said they were playing? I don't mind sitting out though and spectating if roles have already been assigned.
 
On the plus side, I'm definitely not mafia 😂
Or maybe you're the new character- Karen. You're included in the roster so you can't be voted for but you can kill townies with your entitled rants. So, in Neverending Story terms, the mafia are the wolf and the nothing is Karen...two bad guys working towards the same goal but only one can be killed.

note- the Karen role is a fun idea I just thought of and in no way applies that @Dothracki PE acts like a Karen on this board. Also, I realize it's a bad idea as it would basically double the nightkills and the mafia would win almost every time- seemingly a realistic concept but makes for a bad game.
 
Yeah i realized that i wasn't tagged in the "players" posts from this weekend. don't worry, we'll just start our own mafia round.

@BlueBlueprintPE you have a conflict in your rules. Just wanted to point it out for future reference/update.
