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, 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.
