Game 70
To Your Eternity

Hosts:
@Crescent Jinx & @Vandred

The MH specific game rules will be explained below. If you would like to play, please announce your participation in the "Mafia Game Discussion" Thread. This thread is strictly for playing the game. Thank you.

Game Instructions

Players will be secretly assigned roles. One group will play the "Mafia"; the other group will play the "Townies". The Townies will not know who other Townies or Mafia members are. However the Mafia members will know who their fellow Mafia members are.

During the "day" phase, all of the players debate the identities of the Mafia members and at the end each person will vote to eliminate a suspect. This is carried out in the "game thread". In the game's "night" phase the Mafia will privately discuss who they should kill. They will then send this person’s name to the host, as well as other actions. Play will then continue until all of the Mafia have been eliminated, or until the Mafia reaches the same number as Townies.

A typical game will start with a minimum of 7 players, divided into 5 Townies and 2 Mafia members. The members that will be Mafia and Townies will be chosen through a random list generator. There the participating players' names will be put in and after the randomisation the Mafia roles will go to the names at the top of the list. This is to avoid butthurt and favouritism accusations. :'[

Lastly, the numbers of Mafia members depends on the number of participants!

7 - 10 = 2 Mafias
11 - 13 = 3 Mafias
14 - 17 = 4 Mafias
18 - 20 = 5 Mafias
21 - 24 = 6 Mafias
etc.

Game Phases

PHASE 1: DAY
This is where you discuss/argue about who is and isn't mafia. As soon as the Day Phase starts, you are allowed to vote. The Day Phase will take place strictly inside the "game" thread. Any discussions regarding the Day Phase outside the thread will be dealt with severely.

The length of a Day Phase is set by the host, usually starting at ~24 hours and getting shorter the less players remain alive.

VOTE KILL [user]
This will be the manner in which you vote. Make sure it is clearly displayed in your post though bold font.
You will be only allowed 1 vote change per phase. So use your vote wisely.

PHASE 2: NIGHT
The host closes the game thread during the Night Phases.
There should be no discussion about the game during the Night Phase, regardless of the player being still in the game or already out.

During the Night Phase, the Mafia members will collaborate and choose who they want to kill. They will not do this in the thread, but via PMs with each other or other alternative communication channels approved by the host, such as ~~PiratePad~~ EtherPad.

At the beginning of the game the Mafia members will be informed of the other members' roles and identities. They must PM the host telling them their choice for the night's murder and the murderer from their team. There can only be one murder in the Night Phase, therefore the Mafia members must come to an agreement.

If the Mafia don't send in their night kill before the Night Phase ends, then their action will not be performed. The Mafia can also send in their night actions during the previous Day Phase, if they think they will not be online during the coming Night Phase.

The length of a Night Phase is set by the host, usually ~12 hours.

MH Specific Game Rules

ACTIVITY RULES

Be active in every Day Phase and post at least three times. It's a Minor Violation if you don't do that and will result in Penalty Vote(s)/Hostkill and ban from future games (Hall of Shame). If you are going to miss out a period of time due to real life events make sure to inform the host, who is going to judge each situation individually and decide whether or not taking the player out of the game is necessary.
Place at least one vote every Day Phase. It's a Minor Violation if you forget to place a vote and will result in Penalty Vote(s)/Hostkill and ban from future games (Hall of Shame).
Don't post more than 100 times per Day Phase. This is to reduce spam and the volume of posts per game. Nobody has time to go through hundreds of one liner posts with the same content over and over again (Imperium Copyright Rule). If you hit the volume restriction, it's a Minor Violation. You will get a Penality Vote per 10 additional posts you make.
No talking during Night Phases, except for some roles which are explicitly allowed and encouraged to. The Night Phases are only to send in night actions. The scale of punishment for players who are caught discussing game content in the night may vary from Minor Violation to instant Hostkill, depending on the seriousness of the comment and/or warnings given before.
Dead people can't talk. So don't post once your character is dead; do not help others once you are dead. You can, however, lurk the thread. If you post regardlessly, you will be banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

OUTER THREAD RULES

Absolutely DO NOT discuss the game outside of the game thread (unless you are Mafia members discussing it with your teammates through PMs/EtherPad). This is so that people do not reveal their roles and ruin the game. Players violating this rule will be instantly Hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
Do not directly comment on the current game, once you are dead. This is so you don't influence the players that are still playing. Violators of this rule will be banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

OTHER GAME RULES

You are not allowed to post any screenshots, PMs or anything similar that can reveal your role, or the role of others, nor fake host PMs. If you do, you will be Hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
You are not allowed to pretend being a Daytime Vigilante, Badass Cowboy, or other roles that have Day Commands. It's a Minor Violation if you do that regardlessly.
You are not allowed to ignore directions sent in to you by the host, for example a mandatory vote change by the Politician. It's a Minor Violation if you fail to respond accordingly.
You are not allowed to majorly edit the content of your posts, nor delete any of your own or someone else's posts without the Host's approval. If you do, you may get a Minor Violation punishment or be Hostkilled immediately and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

RULE BREAKING, PUNISHMENT & HALL OF SHAME

Minor Violations are "small rules violations", which do not result in a Hostkill instantly, but are sanctioned with Penalty Votes first. For the first Minor Violation you get 1 Penalty Vote, for the second you get 3 Penalty Votes and the third gets you Hostkilled. Three Minor Violations of any kind are a Major Violation and will lead to a Hostkill.

If you disobey the rules above that are resulting with you being Hostkilled and/or banned from future games, you will get registered in the Hall of Shame.

One Major Violation bans you from the upcoming game.
A second Major Violation of the same kind will ban you from the next three games.
A third Major Violation and you are out from all upcoming games.

No amnesty or prescription until further notice.

MH Specific Hosting Regulations

DAY PHASES & VOTINGS

Each active player has to vote during a day phase. Each player has the chance to change his vote once.

A day phase can be ended earlier, if and only if one player has collected more than a half+1 of the second votes ("locked votes") of all players and each player has voted at least once (Absolute Majority Voting).

If by the end of the the regular time of the day phase two or more players have the same amount of votes, the second votes ("locked votes") are decisive. The player with the most locked votes is being lynched.

If one or more players have the same amount of votes and locked votes, each player is getting the possibility to change his vote one more time. The regular day phase is being extended for the means of further discussions.

If the voting result is the same by the end of the extended day phase, both players are being lynched.

NIGHT PHASES & ACTIONS

During the night phase each player that has a role with a night action may send it in to the host via PM.

The player may or may not make use of his action. If the player misses the deadline and does not submit his action within the given time, it is seen as not used action. It is possible, however, to submit it before the start of the night, if the player already knows he has no time to do it later.

The night actions are listed in Priority groups. The higher the priority ranking, the more likely it is that the night action is being executed successfully. First actions to be performed are those from P1, then P2 and ending with P3.

If two night action roles from the same priority group target the same player at night a coin flip will decide which night action is executed first.

1. PRIORITY - "ROLE BLOCKING"

Prostitute, Bar Keeper, Mafia Escort(when blocking).

2. PRIORITY - "SAVING & INVESTIGATING" (& more)

Detective(all sanities), Investigator, Spy(and paranoid), Mortician, Doctor(all sanities, Insane Doctor only when protecting), Bodyguard, Hider, Sickly Townie, Bomb Defusing Townie, Apprentice(both sanities), Mafia Detective(when investigating), Bomb Defuser(when defusing), Santa Claus.

Also Spirit Medium!

3. PRIORITY - "KILLING & RECRUITING"

Insane Doctor(when killing), Pirate, Time Bomb, Kamikaze Bomb, Recruiting Mason, Mafia Boss, Mafia Detective(when killing), Mafia Janitor, Mafia Poisoner(both killing and poisoning), Mafia Assassin, Mafia Mason, Strongman, Burden, Mafia Escort(when killing), Unskilled Mafia, Mafia Pirate, Mafia Bomb, Mafia Gambler(when killing), Serial Killer, Mentor(both killing and recruiting), Mentee.

Also Mafia Apprentice!

Action Report

New Roles being tested

Spirit Medium
The Spirit Medium can target a dead Townie player. He gets to know which players that Townie targeted every Day/Night, in chronological order. But he doesn't find out any action results.

Mafia Apprentice
At the start of the game, the host presents the Mafia Apprentice with up to three mafia roles of the host's choosing. If the Mafia Apprentice successfully kills twice, he can pick one of those roles to become his primary role for the rest of the game.

The Story

Immortality. For some, it is the ultimate prize. For others, likely the ones who have actually obtained it, it is a curse. The Observer - in an effort to fight the vile, detestable beings who "knock on the doors of paradise" - has gathered a handful of promising human candidates in a remote town. The reward for the winner will be eternal life - probably metaphorically, since he's also a bit of an arse.

Unbeknown to the townspeople, the destructive "Knockers" have also taken residency in the town, awaiting their chance to strike. Apparently, the gathering of a good number of potential victims has led them to decide their chance is now...

The Observer awaits his chosen to come out of the struggle victorious, even if a few candidates will have to abandon their mortal coils along the way. However, just when he was about to make tea and witness a good old slaughterin', romance has descended on the sleepy town to ensure further chaos and that the Observer can get a proper headache.

Special Mechanic: Partners

Benevolent Pioran, wanting no person to be alone for Valentine's season, has gifted each person with a partner in hopes that they might win together, because who wants to be immortally alone?, she thought.

To help them achieve this, the couples are each given a night pad to communicate outside of the day phases. Treat the pad like a host PM; you cannot copy and paste anything from your pad into the main game thread, reveal host messages, and so on. All the rules that apply on here will apply on there as well.

Beware, however - because not all relationships are pure. You are told from the start the role of your partner, but some of these are fake identities the scum has acquired to infiltrate the town.

So despite some level of distrust since the couples can be townie x townie, townie x scum, or scum x scum, you really should play together (and nice). In a healthy relationship, communicating and working together is key, after all.

In fact, playing together (and nice) is the best way to obtain precious Relationship Points (RPs), which allow you to unlock a reward for cooperation once you have enough of them. Working with your partner can be done in a number of ways:

Actions that add RPs:

Not voting your partner during the day -> +1 RP
Voting the same person as your partner -> +1 RP
Saving your partner from a lynch -> +2 RPs

Your vote needs to be on the person that gets lynched, while your partner needs to be the next in line.
Discussing targets at night -> +1 RP

Every night, you will receive a list of the players still alive, and you will need to write your opinion on everyone else to obtain this point.
If you have one, targeting your partner with a certainly helpful or trusting action -> +1 RP

Conversely, working against your partner will have the opposite effect:

Actions that subtract RPs:

Voting for your partner -> -2 RPs
Revealing your partner's role -> -3 RPs
If you have one, targeting your partner with a potentially or directly harmful action -> -2 RPs

Rewards for cooperation:

Once you reach a minimum of 10 Relationship Points, you will unlock the corresponding reward depending on your role and affiliation:

Townie with active role: Role switch with Bulletproof Townie for one night of your choice, or an equivalent protection for a day phase.
Townie with passive role: Role switch with Prostitute for one night of your choice.

TP/Mafia member with active role: Role switch with Paranoid Gun Owner for one night of your choice (won't be able to kill on that night!).
TP/Mafia member with passive role: Role switch with Strongman for one night of your choice.

Once a reward is unlocked, you can activate it whenever you wish.
All the points gained in a phase are awarded at the end of it, which is also when you'll unlock your reward once you have enough points.
Your partner won't know how many points you have accumulated, nor if you have unlocked or used any reward ability. But I'm sure they'll tell you, if you ask nicely.

Playing on your own:

If you start a day phase with 5 Relationship Points or your partner is killed by someone other than you (or someone from your Mafia/TP team), you will be able to choose a "solo" ability, regardless of your town/mafia/TP affiliation:

"Daytime Sickly" ability for one day phase of your choice; you can secretly select a person who won't be able to vote for the current day, invalidating any previous votes as well.
Noble ability for one day phase of your choice; cast an extra vote in secret. If affected by the Sickly ability, this doesn't prevent you from casting the extra vote.

However, using either your reward for cooperation or your "playing solo" ability will lock you out of obtaining or using the other one. So think carefully on how you plan to play.

Extra rule:

If you participate in the lynch of your partner by voting for them, you get a bonus if they are revealed to be mafia or third party, and a penalty if they are town:

If they are revealed to be TP/Mafia: Your reward for cooperation unlocks immediately.
If they are revealed to be Town: You won't be able to vote on the next day, and if you're town too, you will get locked out of the individual system for the rest of the game.

If you or your scum team directly kill your partner, you will lose all possible rewards. But in case you had already unlocked or used your corresponding rewards, feel free to lynch or kill your buddy without a care.

And bask in the sensation of what a horrible person you are for using them up and casting them aside...

tl;dr version

Everyone has a partner.
You can communicate with your partner at night.
You won't die if they die.
Work with them for enough time and you'll unlock a perk, work against them or see them get killed by someone else and you'll unlock another.
Lynching your partner is good if you're positive they're scum liars, not so much if they were legit.
Killing your partner makes you lose any perks, but you can't lose them if you've already used them

Note: If you decide to use an action, you need to declare it in your individual PM, not your couple one. That way your partner won't have to see what you choose to do. :evil

That's it. Have fun! '3'/

Day 1 Begins

Lasts 24 hours, until Feb 16, 23:30 CET
(Will add a timer if I can find one that works as it should...)

Good Luck, for during this game you will know the price of eternity.

So I'm a loli this time. Can anybody who reads this series tell me if I'm cooler than I look. Any special powers besides not taking candy from strangers. :-_-

digitaldude · Feb 15, 2019

Vote kill joann now I sleep. an intriguing concept I will read it in depth tomorrow.

Asako · Feb 15, 2019

That was a long read, oof and complicated.

So thanks @Valhalla777 and @Crescent Jinx for these avy especially considering how the series doesn't have all the characters colored.
I can see it was complicated to do them

Crescent Jinx · Feb 15, 2019

Really tired. And was fully prepared to votelock @Vandred considering this post.

But he’s been such a great cohost. Hope you guys enjoy.

Juviii · Feb 15, 2019

Dunno who my character is but she looks cool.
Interesting mechanics... :derp

Lambu · Feb 15, 2019

Im so so happy I got best boy Gugu! He's one of my favourite characters!! :x3

Thanks @Valhalla777 and @Crescent Jinx for the avis, as Asako said it must have been hell to get proper images.

And the special mechanic looks complicated but easy to understand more or less. Basically we all have lovers and if we make things for the other we get rewards. Then theres surely at least 3 or 4 wolfs in sheep clothes and at least one mafia x mafia ship so lets be wary of them.
The funny thing is that I wont get to pass my coded role to anybody since Im forced to share it with someone I didn't even get to test... :notamused

oh well at least its obvious Gry and Pom are together, I would never forgive Cres if she let this chance slide.

My avy makes me think this guy is some kind of pervert...

Going to bed.

Spirit · Feb 16, 2019

This game mechanic is cruel. Can't decide whether to be watching my back or my front yet :XD

I see I got possibly the plainest and most boring looking character there is. :verily

Belserion · Feb 16, 2019

I love this series. I knew I was behind but I don't know half these characters, even mine. Definitely have to continue it :XD

Brandish μ · Feb 16, 2019

*Cracks can*

The mechanic is super cozy.

Takuan · Feb 16, 2019

It's starting!!! :zomg

Alright, i'm read through this game mechanics very quickly, might have to reread it tomorrow, though i'll be short on time. But that seems pretty interesting.
Though that adds a stressful factor for me, since the partner can betray if he feels like it.
I wonder if there are two lovers in the game in addition to that mechanic lol that would be insane, though i doubt it's the case. That would be too much.

GrySun · Feb 16, 2019

Have to go to bed now, am disappointed there was no game today :hmph

Looks interesting though. Never thought I‘d see a crossover between Mafia Game and Dating Sim games.

Holt · Feb 16, 2019

I'm here...I spot hosts lurking (great stuff and nice touch with the game. Apparently assembling avis were tasking so its warm to see both are here). As mentioned the mechanic seems easy enough to understand, but I feel it might be more detrimental to town at first? You're not guaranteed that your partner is genuine, and the fact you're paired sort of puts this in your face every time. In addition, confirmed townies revealing partners wouldn't help either since we're not even sure who's genuine (this in theory balances things better but makes life difficult anyway). I feel the mafia have more of an edge with this. It's like a one shot mafia detective role + mason. I say so because I figure two mafia won't get paired together (least not from the same team). So they potentially have access to town role and a town to discuss. Giving mafia will communicate themselves, there's so much room for manipulation I think. Does have its perks for town as some pairings are definitely genuine but settling these doubts will more or less take forever. I think it's better to clear this out first, so no one becomes an easy puppet.
