Mafia! II

[Chipster-roo]

Hello everyone.  The last game of Mafia we had here was fun, so here is a new one.
If you're not familiar with Mafia, here are the rules, copy/pasted from Crackers:

Mafia is a game in which one side, the Mafia is trying to kill all the Innocents until there are none left. However, the goal of the Innocents is to identify and execute the Mafia by voting them out. There are two stages of Mafia, Day, and Night. At nighttime, the Mafia choose one player to kill, but in the daytime all of the players find out who died the night before and the eliminated player's role, and vote for who they think is the Mafia, and may try to convince each other who is the Mafia, and who isn't. The person with the most votes is eliminated, and their role is revealed. This happens again and again until all of the Innocents are dead, or all the Mafia is executed.

There other some other roles, too.

The Doctor- an Innocent which each night, after the Mafia chooses who they will kill, they try to predict who was killed by the Mafia,  and whoever they pick is granted immunity from the Mafia that night. (The Doctor can choose himself, but cannot choose any player twice in a row).

The Detective- another Innocent that after the Mafia chooses their victim, can investigate a player who they suspect is the mafia, and the moderator will say if they are or not.

The Cupid- again, another Innocent that in the beginning of the game, chooses two "Lovers", who, if one of the "Lovers" die, the other will also die.  This role will not be used unless we get at least nine players (which we probably won't).

We need at least 5 players to get started, but the more the better.

However, depending on the number of players we get, we could try a more simple layout, suggested by Bright Side.  In this alternate layout, there is a single day phase; if we vote out a mafia, the innocents wins, but if we vote out an innocent, the mafia wins.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions or anything.

[Vesper]

[Chipster-roo]

Thank you Brighty, Vesper

It's nice to see we already have three players.

[Crackers]

Yaaayyy! I wanna play! ;D Thanks, Chip!

[Soren]

If this is still happening, I'll be glad to join!

[Chipster-roo]

Yes, Soren, this is still happening!  Thanks for joining.

We now have five players, the minimum required to get started.  However, Brighty is currently absent due to real life problems (I hope she will be fine...), so we won't start now.  Sign-ups will remain open until her return in case anyone else wants to join.

[Vesper]

Brighty is currently absent due to real life problems (I hope she will be fine...

Have Faith and do not worry my dear Chipster-roo, she will be alright. I have faith she will overcome her challenges and accomplish her endeavors. I admire how you care for her too.^^
*Hugs*

[Chipster-roo]

Thanks Vesper.  I hope you're right...

[Bright Side]

Thank you both for your kind words Things have gotten a little better.

I'm ready to start, and in fact am looking forward to it

Chipster, I recommend https://www.random.org/lists/ to do the roles.

[Chipster-roo]

That's good to hear, Brighty.  And thanks for the link.  I'll use it for the roles.

Sign-ups will close 24 hours from now, so if you didn't join already, now is your last chance to do so.  Around this time tomorrow, I will send out the role PMs.

[Vesper]

I wonder if this it's coincidental that I'm now currently reading the story of The Murder of the Orient Express,

in which a detective has the to find the killer onboard a train trapped in a snow drift and the killer is one of the passengers before they strike again. That could help you, my dear friend, if you need inspiration on a setting for the game. Thanks Brighty for the link, now this will be up to the universe to decide our fate, and Chipster-roo.^^ Good Luck to all of you and I am Looking forward indeed to playing with all of you once more for I know it will be quite intriguingly fun.

Sign-ups are now closed.

We're going to try out the "quick mafia" layout Brighty suggested.  There will be two mafia and three innocents, and only one vote.  If you all vote out a mafia, the innocents win, but if you vote out an innocent, the mafia wins.

I'm sending out PMs now.

Thanks for the suggestion, Vesper.  I'll keep it in mind.  The story should be up at some point tomorrow.
