SEN MAFIA XII
·· Clueless

Enter SEN Mafia: a strategic guessing game of murder, mystery, and statistics! Players dwell within a town that has been infiltrated by the Mafia. Dead bodies start turning up and everyone becomes a suspect. If the Townspeople manage to lynch all the Mafia, they win. Otherwise, the Mafia kill everyone in the town and claim victory.


** NEWS **
The game has started! Visit http://www.staredit.net/?p=mafia to get your role!
I will be running this game solo.

The topic will remain open at night.

There are special roles this game.



** HOW IT WORKS **
Players receive roles at the start of the game. Roles are randomly selected. There are only two factions in play: townsperson and mafia. During the night, members of the mafia kill the townspeople. Certain townspersons with roles also get to perform certain actions during the night. The Mafia will know who all the other Mafia are, but the townspeople have no additional information.

The game takes place over alternating periods of Day and Night. (Game Time, not according to the real world.) The game begins at day.



** NIGHT **
During the night, the town sleeps and the Mafia strikes. A time-limit is imposed on the night phase. Night ends with a posted report of the killings and other actions that may have taken place. And by posted report, I mean I just tell you who died. There are no clues, because I suck at making them and they're omfg2hard.

-- ORDER OF NIGHT ACTIONS
(Not necessarily reflected in game posts)
1. Doctors + townie save/protect
2. Mafia.
3. Reaper.
4. Detectives.
5. Day.



** DAY **
Democracy rules by day in form of a vote. All players (including mafia) gather for a "town meeting" to discuss amongst themselves who might be Mafia. Every player (including Mafia) may place a vote to select a player to be lynched and killed off.

-- VOTING REGULATIONS
- You must vote in the topic. Votes via PMs, battle.net, IMs, or any other medium are not acceptable and not counted.
- Votes must be placed for specific individuals only, no variable voting. (ie, no "guy who posts next" or "biggest bandwagon")
- Votes must be clear and free of ambiguity. A simple "I vote X" is sufficent. Ambiguous statements, such as "I think X might be mafia" will not be counted.
- You may not vote for yourself, dead players, or people who are not playing.
- You may only place one vote on one person.
- You may formally abstain from the the vote to be factored in as active and be included in the total of votes placed.
- You may change your vote until day ends. Do not abuse this. You will be forbidden from further vote changes if you make things difficult with vote changes.
- In case of a tie, the player VOTED FOR first will be killed.
- Please go out of your way to make your vote visible. A seperate line is nice. We promise not to get insulted if you pretend we're almost blind.

After the town has decided by majority or time up, the victim(s) is/are lynched and their alignment and role revealed. If there are still surviving mafia, the next night begins.



** VICTORY CONDITIONS **
The day and night cycles repeat until one side is victorious.
The town wins when all mafia have been lynched.
The mafia wins when they outnumber the townspeople. (they would outvote and overpower them.)
In a case where 1 mafia and 1 townsperson remain, the mafia wins.



** MISCELLANEOUS **
A. Conversation via external means is allowed. You may encounter or engage in deception, conspiracies, and trickery. We take no responsiblity for broken trust and shattered friendships - outside communication takes place at your own risk. Some well-played impersonations can dramatically alter the outcome of the game.

B. Dead persons and non-players "MAY" talk, but your posts will be deleted if they violate any of the following:
1. It is reasonable to say that the post may alter the course of the game or influence players in any way.
2. The post is annoying or just not funny.
3. They violate SEN's rules.
4. I feel like it.
They may not influence the game by communicating with players still living.

C. One may not request or volunteer screenshots, videos, etc. of another's role screen or someone's password via the thread, a PM, or any other method. The game is intended to be won via behavioral analysis, special roles, and praying a lot. Such exchanges will be punished severely and take place at your own risk.



-- SIGNING UP
If the game has not started, you may sign up by posting in this thread and I will add you to list. There is no maximum amount of players.

Take note of the following:
1. A non-default avatar is required to play. If you wish to play, make sure you have chosen a unique avatar.
2. If you won't play without a special role, don't play at all. If you won't contribute jack shit to the town, don't play at all. Useless and inactive townies ruin balancing and ultimately, the game itself.
3. If you plan on being away from the game for more than 3 days at a time during the game, it is better that you do not play and sit the round out.
4. Please note you will be restricted from editing certain aspects of your profile once the game starts. This is because clues may be based off such things. You are aware of this and agree not to bitch about it.
5. If the game has already started, you must wait until the next game. People always tell me to sign them up during the game. They then become inactive or I forget to sign them up. To prevent this problem, I ask all those who wish to play to wait for the next round.
6. Automatic Signup is requestable for future games. It is automatically cancelled if you are booted from the game for any reason.

If you have any questions, PM me.

You end up here from inactivity, neglecting your role and powers, or rulebreaking. All players who missed 2 or more votes last game were booted.

Sitting out:



** ROLES **
TOWNSPERSON - The average, ordinary townsperson. Their limited powers include the power of persuasion, power of behavioral analysis, and power of the vote.
DODGE/SAVE! Townies (not special roles) in this game are granted the power of "dodge/save". To use it, they must PM me at night. They will dodge one hit placed on them that night and escape death OR prevent one hit placed on another player. This power may only be used once per game.

MAFIA - They've invaded the town and they kill people. Each mafia gets one kill.

DETECTIVE - Each and every night, the Detective makes an "investigation" of some sort. He may choose either of the following:
1. Learn one person's alignment and role. The difficulty lies in persuading others to vote the way they should.
2. Ask me how many mafia voted for X on any given day. This power may not be used on a mayoral election.

DOCTOR - Each and every night, the doctor may save one person from death. Should someone attack that person, the doctor will keep them alive. Doctors may protect each other, but may not protect themselves. The mafia may target the same person multiple times to get a kill regardless of a Doctor's protection (ie, kill, save, kill).

REAPER - The Reaper may, at night, kill off any person who had 5 or more votes placed on him during the day. He may use this power twice per game.



I play the role of "God". My judgment is used where I deem it necessary. Depending on how I balance the game, I may be the collective target of the mafia for the first night. Divine intervention via lightning bolts may occur. If you are not monotheistic, you are now. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

Will Alicia Silverstone be making an appearance?

Moose, I requested to be un-auto'd for this game, remove me from the player list. I'll be staying out until you stop this "Clueless" shit. (Which means if you don't do it next game, then I'll be there next game.)

Wow, you're actually doing this clueless thing .

C'mon! Try something different!

If I save a hit person do I just die instead?

Can detective reveal themselves in emergency so to persuade a vote?

OH HI A NEW MAFIA PLAYER I HOPE YOU LIKE THE GAME GLHF


...not.

Wow, this isn't funny at all.

L8r. Also, "stopping this Clueless shit" incorrectly implies that it has been done before and is being continued now. This is the first game of it.

Why would saving someone kill you? It doesn't work like that and it doesn't say anywhere that it works like that.

There is nothing wrong with claiming "Hey everyone, I'm the detective". It does not serve of proof-of-role.

No it doesen't.

*Pretends Moose replied only with "L8r".*
