For Newbies


[collapse=Newbies]
Welcome to Newbie Mafia 7!

You will be playing what is known as Mafia. A game of deception. The core of the game is revolved around Mafia and Town. Town are the good guys, while Mafia are the bad guys. Town generally has a larger majority of players, and many more 'power roles' as we call them, to aid them in their victory of exterminating all of the Mafia. Along with these powers and large numbers, they can choose to kill someone they think is mafia once every Day Phase. The only problem is, they don't know who's town or not. Mafia on the other hand, knows their accomplices, and are able to kill one townie every Night Phase. Their drawback is simple, they are clearly outnumbered by town. Ah! I forgot to mention! The game works in Day and Night phases, just like real life. During the Day time, the town as a whole (this includes mafia) discuss amongst themselves who should be killed (or whether they should kill at all). During the night while everyone sleeps, the mafia discuss amongst themselves who shall suffer a taste of hot lead.

Now there were other aspects of the game i lightly touched on, but didn't fully explain. They will be listed in the sections below.

[collapse=Power Roles? What's that?]The regular townie and regular mafia (these are also known as vanilla townies, or vanilla mafia). can do nothing but vote towards a kill during their respective phases. However there are other roles that are allowed to do much more. For example, cop is a town aligned, therefore they are teamed with townies. Just like vanilla townies, they vote towards who they feel is scum. During the night time, cop can investigate one person, and find out their alignment. Doctors work the same way, as they can also choose someone during the night time, however their role makes it so that if that chosen person gets killed by mafia, they will be revived before sunrise! These power roles are extremely important to town winning in most situations. Generally speaking, these roles should be kept under wraps until direly needed.

Of course, it wouldn't be fair if mafia didn't have their own roles. Mafia has 'roleblocker', a person who stops a townie power role in their tracks. This can prevent doctors from saving, and cops from investigating.

Now that all of the basic things are out of the way, we will now go into who is playing the game with you. [/collapse]

Roles[/collapse] [/collapse]

For ICs
[collapse=IC's (inexperienced challenged)]There are a few things I ask for (and expect) to happen during this game.

1) Please be respectful to the other players.
Although you all have far more experience than the players around you. These games are for the newbies. Make this a fun experience for everyone.
2) You are here to teach
Explain what should happen throughout the game in certain situations. Newbies tend to become inactive without a gentle nudge in the right direction.
3) You are here to win.
While you are here to teach, you are also here to win. With that being said, you need to have a perfect blend of both rules 2 and 3. Win condition comes first, teaching comes later. If you come to a point where you have deceived someone to meet your win condition, tell them what they did wrong, or why you did what you did.

4) If you are allowed to communicate with another player outside of this thread, then please follow the communication instructions within your role PM!
5) Do not quote role PMs or any other form of communication with the Game Mod unless your role PM explicitly states you can (in which case follow the instructions in your role PM). Failure to comply will result in a modkill. You may paraphrase your role PM as you see fit, but keep everything in your own words!

13a) For the sake of Newbie Mafia, the first day phase will be given an extra four days (a free deadline extension) so that newbies can be comfortable with their roles and the game plan.
15) Since this is a semi-open game, there will be no Twilight Phase.
16) After your death you are allowed one bah post. This post is to be short, not game breaking, and in no way harmful to another player.

25) You are allowed to claim anti-town. However you are not allowed to claim anti-town and that another player is anti-town with you (either explicitly or implicitly). This will result in an automatic loss for your faction.[/collapse]

[collapse=Setups]
This is an Open Set-up, where the game may be one of the following setups
[A] 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies

[collapse=Roles][collapse=Vanilla Townie]You sit in your room, stuffed from a long feast with your fellow competitors. You think to yourself

"Why would they be willing to give out so much money..?"

Before you can complete your thought, a knock on your door happens. You walk to the door and a card is slipped through the cracks. You open the door, and the hallway is empty; only the card reminds. After taking the card, you realize that it is your role in the Liar Game...

"You are a Vanilla Townie, your only power is your wit, your vote, and your strength in numbers.

Your downfall?

You don't know your fellow comrades.

During the day phase you discuss with town who you feel is mafia, and vote towards that same person. During the night phase you do nothing. Good luck to you and thank you for playing the Liar game."[/collapse]

You have to work harder, and lie harder than any other player. You're clearly outnumbered by town, so you have quite a way to go for victory. However that makes it that much sweeter.. Thank you for playing the Liar Game.[/collapse]

You have been randomly invited to the Liar Game. A game of which deception is the only path to survival. Your next game assigns you with 8 other players. You're all escorted from the entrance to a luxurious hotel. Inside you all feast upon some of the finest meals that could be offered in the western hemisphere. While you feast, a young, well dressed individual wearing a white mask, slowly walks through the entrance. You first notice his white mask, covered with small but detailed designs, you then notice his cold, steel grey briefcase that he grips intently. His anonymous gaze pans across the room, then with a confident roar he speaks.

"I would like to welcome you all to the Liar Game, where your lies and deceitful qualities are rewarded with the most magnificent of prizes"

He turns to his side and lays his briefcase onto a wooden oak table. The briefcase makes a loud thud before settling into it's position. Whatever he was holding, was packed tightly, there were no trailing sounds of light items rustling inside of his case. He then looks at everyone again, then turns back to click open his briefcase. It makes a crackling noise, like a old opening door. Everyone's chatter and bliss comes to a progressive halt, as he rotates the briefcase into our direction. The case is filled with American Dollars, 20 million dollars the man later tells us.

"Among the 9 of you, some of you will be receiving a hefty cut of this 20 million dollar grand prize."

He closes the briefcase quickly, and continues his speech.

"The game you will be playing is called Mafia. This game is the epitome of deception, for while I will assign you all to teams, you will not be able to trust anyone. At the edge of the door there is a pamphlet telling you all the rules necessary to be known for this next event. I will expect you all to read this pamphlet as deeply as possible, for it will be the only information you can trust. Good luck to you all."


As the man leaves, the dinner continues as usual, but not for long. Having the 20 million dollars of cash in sight ruined many of the competitors appetites. Everyone got up and leisurely walked to the door to receive their pamphlets, with so much money on the line, it would be insane not to study the game at all.

And so the night comes to a close, and we all wait for this game of mafia to begin..

@Roxy: Two questions:
1. Will their be a spot for Semi-Expierenced players? (AKA SE)?
2. How long will this last?'

Depending on circumstances, I may sign up.

The game can have one SE, the rest I'd want to be newbies.

Scratch that, it's best for there to be no SE's this game, just very good SE's

I can't give you a time period, this game could last 5 hours if you guys played fast enough. :/ I'd expect a total of three weeks or so if you take advantage of your time.

Can I get in on this? I'd like to play a full newbie game.

(2 unfinished newbie games here, 1 ongoing, 1 finished on mafiascum. I qualify as a newb, right?)

We never met irl did we?

Hey, best of luck on this game! Matthew told me to go gentle!! :laugh:
Nah, we never met. Feel free to go gentle on me if you think it's necessary. You better hope we're on the same team though. I've taken a few argument-based logic classes in my time. Hehe.

A New Day Begins
Day One

[Collapse=Introduction]
The nine of you wake up approximately at 9:00am. As you walk out of your room, you see everyone else as fatigued as you; the pressure of millions of dollars being on the line can cause lack of sleep for quite the majority. One of you however is as chipper as ever. The host walks out of a farther door dressed sharply in his tuxedo and plastic mask. He asks for everyone to follow his lead as he confidently walks throughout the halls of the mansion. As you follow, you wonder how many times he's taken this trek; how many times has he said his speech to the masses? The tour across the mansion takes what feels to be hours, however the area is eventually reached.

"This is where Day one of Mafia will begin" the host calmly explains to the group. "You will all sit amongst this table and discuss who should be the first to die, or if anyone should die at all."

He directs his hand towards the circular table to show that this is where the Day will be simulated, then in a swift motion directs towards a door.

"This door here, will simulate your lynches and kills. Whoever dies, will stay in this room where they can speak to only the other dead. Do not worry, nothing of suffering will happen beyond these doors; only the pressure of being in debt."

He walks away from the door, and moves towards the door that the group entered from.

"I will be watching you all via camera, giving you hour by hour updates on what you all have agreed upon, I will also be punishing you accordingly if you misbehave. That being said, may the best team win.​

Oh yeah.

Hi I'm your SE, Riddle. I'm actually an IC but roxy is calling me an SE because only 3 IC's are allowed.

protip: I'm probably going to end up buddying Mayling.

Ninja'd.


Any particular reason you wanna share for this?
Mayling is the best person ever. Actually, its because I work well with mayling and chances are (3/4) that she is town. I promise I will scumhunt like the rest of you and if I am suspicious of mayling that I will vote her.

please die
@Riddle: Please die.

Also, since May didn't have the cojones, vote Riddle.

Despite the name of the Random Vote Stage, the votes themselves should not be taken to be actually random. Everyone who takes the time and effort to post in a forum game will have some sort of agenda when they make a post; it may be to dissuade others from interacting with them, trying to push attention onto others, or gauge responses, as well as a multitude of other possibilities. In this environment, we have to try to root out the bad guys by guessing what those agendas are. Watch people. See if their actions and words actually mesh with their intentions. You don't have to fully explain everything that you do, but if you refuse, it may reflect badly on you in other people's eyes. More than anything, trying to discern good intent from bad intent is the most important aspect of this game. Why is this person doing what he or she is doing? For example, I don't really really think Riddle should die. But, at this stage, I think it would be useful to see how people react to my making that statement, as well as finding out one specific bit of information about Riddle that I may take some time to be certain of. How will you react? If you realized I was digging for something, what information could that be? Why do I need it?

Ask questions, make connections, stay active. Know when you know enough. And use that vote.

Okay, I totally approve of how you guys are playing this game and completely understand your vote, Cello.

However, there is NO hidden agenda behind my statement about budding Mayling. Mayling and I are just really good friends and it was merely a statement of how much I love her. I promise I will not buddy Mayling any more than I will buddy anybody else in this game. I apologize for what I said since this is a newbie game and I should not have said something like that, because it somewhat detracts from the learning experience.
