Mario Mafia/Newbie 10! Game Over! Scum Wins!

Welcome to your first game of Mafia on Smashboards! Mafia is a very fun game of strategy, psychology, and deception. While the game may seem a bit overwhelming at first, these "Newbie Mafia" games are designed to help players get into the swing of things. The game will be composed of nine players: Seven that are new to mafia, and two IC (Inexperience Challenged) players that will show you the ropes throughout the game.

Now for the mechanics of the game. Mafia is divided into two alternating phases of "Day" and "Night". During the Day players are allowed to post within the thread, debate amongst each other, and most importantly, vote for whom they would like to be lynched for that day. When a player has been voted for by a majority of the players, that player will be lynched and removed from the game! Following the players lynch, the game moderator will then reveal the player's alignment (Town, Mafia, Etc) and role to the rest of the players and the Day Phase will end. During the Night Phase, the entire thread goes silent. However, Mafia will still be able to talk amongst themselves privately. Through private communication, they'll then be able to select one player to kill for the night, and, baring nothing prevents this action, the player will show up dead the following morning, having their alignment and role revealed. This process continues until either all of Mafia are eliminated through lynch, or Mafia eliminates enough players to have control over the town and its votes.

This particular Newbie game is based upon the theme: Mario! It is not based upon one game but instead upon the series as a whole. Fortunately this game has an open set-up so knowledge of the theme, or flavour, is not necessary.

[collapse=Set-up]Fortunately this game is an Open Set-up where everyone can see which roles are in this game. The set-up for this game is as follows
1X Town Tracker
1X Town Jailkeeper
5X Vanilla Townies

2X Mafia Goons[collapse=So what do these roles do?]Town Tracker Can follow one player each Night and find out who, if anyone that player visited.

Town Jailkeeper can protect one player each Night, however this player also becomes unable to use any abilities the Night they are jailed

All other roles have no special abilities.[collapse=Set-up Notes]Whichever of the Mafia players sent the Night Kill will be the one to visit that player and commit the deed.
If the player who sent the kill is jailed, the other mafia member will carry out the kill.
If there is only 1 mafia member remaining, the jailer can stop the Night Kill by jailing the lone mafiat
[/collapse][/collapse][/collapse]
[collapse=Rules:]
Fundamentals
1.) Have fun and do not personally attack another player in an offensive manner.
2.) Once you have died in the game, you are only allowed to make 1 more post which should consist of “bah go scum/town”
3.) No communication about this game is allowed with non-players or players who are dead, even if you yourself are dead. (If you are dead, you may not discuss the game with anyone who is currently playing, even if you could while you were alive, unless your role specifically states otherwise.)
4.) Unless your role PM specifically allows you the power, you are not to communicate with anyone about this game outside of this game thread. This includes posting content outside of the game thread and linking to it in the game thread.
5.) Do not edit your posts. Double posting is fine in its place.
6.) I reserve the right to deny anyone from signing up/replacing.
7.) You are not allowed to quote any mod communication of any kind, real or fake. You must paraphrase all information you wish to claim. This includes any additional PMs I may send to you outside of your role PM. You are not allowed to post or refer to any images in your role PM, nor may you post metadata about mod PMs in an attempt to break the game (e.g., message ID in the URL, time of day the message was sent, etc.).
8.) You may not post screenshots of any kind.
9.) The use of non-English, invisible, hidden, coded, or otherwise intentionally hidden or indecipherable text is strictly prohibited. (Spoiler tags are allowed because they are easily noticeable. This rule is not meant to disallow breadcrumbing within the visible text of a message.)
10.) You may not quote logs of communication with other players. You are free to paraphrase.
11.) Failure to send in your night action(s) will result in no action(s) being taken.
12.) Failure to adhere to the rules will result in replacement or modkill based on the moderator's discretion.

Voting and Lynching
1.) Each Day, you may vote for a player to be lynched using a bold vote command. For example, vote: Swiss.
2.) To unvote, use the command unvote. For example, unvote vote: Sworddancer.. You do not need to unvote before voting again
3.) No lynch is a viable lynch choice and a majority will end the Day without a lynch. For example, vote: No Lynch.
4.) After the majority lynch has been decided but before the lynch scene is posted, there will be a Twilight phase. Everyone can post in this phase, including the lynch majority target. The Twilight phase ends when I post the lynch scene and officially begin the Night phase.
5.) The Day will end when a majority lynch is decided or a preset deadline has been reached. If deadline is reached without a majority lynch decided, there will be no lynch.
6.) There is no posting in this thread during the Night phase, the thread should be closed anyway.

Activity and Deadline
1.) You are required to post every 72 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded. An accumulation of too many prods (however much I think that is) will result in your replacement or a modkill depending on the circumstances. When feasible, I will tell you if I'm considering replacing/modkilling you if feasible. If you will be inactive for an extended period of time, you must notify me in advance. Unexcused or particularly long absences may result in your replacement or modkill.
2.) I do not expect to grant deadline extensions, barring extenuating circumstances. In the event I need to replace a player, I may extend the deadline to accommodate the new player. Certain game events may also result in a change of deadline.
3.) Days will generally last 10 days.
4.) Nights will generally last approximately 48 hours. If you have a Night action and do not wish to use it, please send me a PM to that effect, lest I have to wait until the deadline for naught.

Game-specific
1.) The game mod is the game god. However, if you feel the game god happens to be testing your faith by placing an error in the game, then please feel free to point it out via PM
2.) All roles are assigned entirely at random.
3.) Modkills only end days if the player being modkilled is town-aligned. Otherwise, day continues. In the event that a player is modkilled during twilight/night, the modkill will affect the next day phase (meaning that day would automatically end if the player is town and that day would continue as normal if otherwise). Exceptions to this rule may be made based on the state of the game and my personal judgment.
4.) All of these rules are written on a dry erase board. In the event of a conflict between these rules and any game-specific rules or mod communication, the game-specific rules/mod communication take precedence.[/collapse]

@ Vanderzant: do you prefer playing as town or mafia?

@ J: When are you going to be able to access a computer? Do you feel that your absence from the game will hurt town?

@ Everyone: Is this your first mafia game that you've started playing? Have you had any previous experience in any other games? Do you have any hobbies, dreams, skills, or sexual preferences that you would like to share?

I have just started getting into mafia games. I prefer town roles. I have access to a computer, however finals are approaching and I feel that time constrictions prevent me from playing to the best of my ability. I have participated in another mafia game on another board, but I have been lynched. I find that I prefer playing 2-3 games at once. I love to sleep. My dream is to find a lifestyle where I can get at least ten hours of sleep a day. My skills involve basic network diagnostics and molecular biology lab work. I would like to have a six-figure income, live alone, and have a job that requires minimal effort so that I can focus on things that I'm interested in learning about.

Oh we starting already? Vote: Swiss Acrostic, I like playing as town way more than scum. When I'm scum I start hating life :(
My condolences. I don't like playing as scum myself. I'm too straight forward to enjoy the practice of deceit. :urg:

Confirming lack of PM. (I know they'll be out tomorrow)

I guess I've been playing a completely unconventional style Mafia compared to Smashboards. This should be fun.

Also, X1 you spelled my name wrong on the player list.

Hmm, mighty offensive of you, Vandy. Why don't you place a vote? :p Even though the majority of players most likely have no idea what their roles are... Vote for kicks :p

OMGUS = Oh-My-God-U-Suck

This means voting for someone or attacking them because they did something to call you scummy or one of your buddies scummy. Basically it is trying to throw the heat back at the person who said something to you


Aww well you caught us. And see I was right in saying you bite tho! xD

Well I think it's best for town if we lynch Swiss first. He's probably the indy serial killer who doesn't show up on the player list until I'm dead.

And I don't even know if I'm town yet, what if I get a scum role? Everyone would realise I bussed you or J and lynch me :(

And yay at J using italics, I plan to do that too.

Italics are cool yo.

That's implying that I and J are Mafia to begin with!
And according to your first post (assuming that the mod hands out Mafia pms first (which he obviously doesn't, because I got mine already and I'm not mafia)), you would inherently know that you are town simply by process of logic.

SCUM-TELL!

only not really ;) lol

Gosh I wish I could wake up all the other signed-up folks and get this show on the road ^^

Vandy stealing my italics :mad088:

I can't see them on my DSi but glad they showed up.

Bussing - This is a term where a mafia member were to push for one of their scum-mates lynch or better put throw them under the bus to make themselves look better in the town's eyes. Bussing is a mafia tactic to help preserve themselves.

Scum or Scummy - This is another word to describe the mafia or an action that seems like a mafia tell. Kindof a commonly used nickname.

In advance, J I already did a massive write up about RVS as well as mafia in general, which I'll post once the game starts (so no need to do that if you're still on your DSi :p).

As dumbledore, I now proclaim that this game will now be harry potter mafia:

like a wizard
That music video is BEYOND epicly epic.
I approve.

And are you going to wait until just everybody confirms, or until some of the RVS is over with?

And I'll let somebody else define what RVS is... My definition would be too distorted methinks >.>

I could just post it now, but I was thinking that if I posted it when the game started (and thus I knew my alignment) then that would be a good point for discussion. But now that I've already said I'm going to post it... maybe I should just post it now.
