This is the official Mafia game thread where all discussions/game play/voting will take place. For those playing, all game-related posts should go here. You can, of course, have private conversations through PM, AIM, etc.
If you are dead or not playing, do not post in this thread. If you're dead, you're dead. I can't stop you from talking about the game outside of the forum, but by the honor system, please don't. It'll only ruin the fun of the game for others.
Gameplay/Rules
Each game day consists of the Day Phase and the Night Phase. Since my schedule is fairly busy and not perfect, there will not be a 100% set schedule for this. There will, however, be a minimum time limit of 24 hours per day phase. So from the time of my most recent update, you have at least 24 hours to post your votes. Once that time has passed, someone will be hung and the night phase will begin. Once I post that the night phase has begun, ya'll can start PM'ing me. I will post the results once all actions are submitted (or at least 24 hours have passed, in case people forget). This may cause the game to run a little slowly, but it also gives more time for forum discussion, strategy stuff, etc.
Additionally, I would ask that you do not change your name while playing the game.
Day Phase
The Day Phase is when everyone decides to cast a vote to hang someone (or hang no one, if you decide). You do not have to vote. For this game, votes will be cast publicly on the forum. Votes must be bolded and obvious. If I miss a vote because you implied it or forgot to make it obvious, that's your fault, not mine. If you change your vote and make a new post with a vote, unbold your old one. If you change your vote and forget to unbold your first one, I'll ignore your attempt of change because, well, because I can. Remember, everyone (save for those who are dead) participates in voting if they decide to.
In case of ties...
7 votes for VincentASM to hang
7 votes for General Spoon to hang
No clear winner, no one hangs.
7 votes for VincentASM to hang
7 votes not to hang anyone
VincentASM will hang. "Not hanging" votes lose the tie breaker.
Night Phase
The Night Phase is for those with special abilities (certain villagers have these, and the Mafia does). The most notable part of this phase is who the Mafia kills. To do your actions, send me a PM on this forum. Make it 100% clear who you are performing your action to. In the subject, put the Day # in there somewhere. For example, the mafia will PM me who they kill each night, if there's a guard then he will protect someone, etc.
Special Roles
Everyone will receive their role in a PM. For this round (yes, we'll have more rounds later), I will be posting the approximate number of mafia members and what special roles there are. All roles are distributed randomly via a program. No, it's not rigged, and no, I am not going to change the results for friends. I want to hold true to the randomness of the game. So, theoretically, the same person could be mafia 5 rounds in a row.
Guard
Every night phase, the guard can protect one person. Protecting blocks all actions done on that person (mafia killing attempts, 3-13 archer killing attempts, and constable investigations). The guard can only protect himself once.
3-13 Archer
At most every other night, this player can take actions into their own hands and kill someone.
Constable
Every night phase, this person may investigate one player to determine if they are innocent or guilty.
Miller
If investigated by the constable, this player appears guilty.
Godfather
In addition to being a mafia member, if this player is investigated by the constable, he will appear innocent.
Questions, Comments, Concerns
If you have an questions, post it in the mafia sign-up thread. If I forgot to mention something here, feel free to post about it there too.
Winning Conditions
The mafia wins if they kill everyone else.
The villagers win by killing all the mafia.
The constable, 3-13 archer, guard, and miller win with the villagers. The godfather wins with the mafia.
If the Mafia has a majority at any time during the game, they have achieved a sufficient condition for victory and it's not necessary to continue on.
We have 17 players this game.
There are 4 mafia (1 of which is the godfather), 1 guard, 1 constable, 1 3-13 Archer, and 1 miller.
