Hi. I'm Ryan. If you don't know me, I'm a major cunt bag. But that's not why I'm here today! I'm here today to get a headcount to see if anybody would be interested in playing a game called Forum Mafia, or just Mafia since we kinda already know the forum part. That's what this is, right? A forum? God damnit I'll be back. I have to find out.
Alright! I'm back. I figured it out!! This is a forum! Alright, so now that we have this crucial detail, being that we are on a forum, I can start explaining what Forum Mafia is. I'll try to make this as short and simple as possible.
If you've ever played Town of Salem it is very similar to that. In summation, there are a set amount of teams, commonly referred to as factions. Usually, there is only two however there are exceptions which I will not touch upon now. In a two faction game, also called singleball because there is only one scum faction, it is set as Town Vs. Mafia.
Here's a little bit of lore that will cause this to make a little more sense. (Extracted from a site's wiki that I play on frequently):
"In the peaceful Sicilian village of Salem, a dark presence is about to make itself known. For years, the family based crime organization known as the Mafia has been establishing itself in the foundation of the community. Until now, the naive citizens have been unaware of the evil among them. Tonight, however, the Mafia makes its move. Tonight, someone will die, and until the Mafia has eliminated all opposition, the innocent will continue to die. Unless, of course, the Mafia is destroyed first..."
Everybody is technically a member of the town, as in the lore everybody lives in the town, however a townie is somebody who is not aligned with the Mafia. Together, all townies need to work together to find the Mafia members who hide alongside the town. In order to kill somebody, you, as a town, must vote to lynch somebody. Once somebody reaches enough votes to get the majority of the votes, they will be lynched and their role as well as alignment (town or scum) will be revealed. If it's scum, great! If it's town, you've got some more scum hunting to do.
After the town reaches the point of a lynch, the game then enters Night Time where power roles (roles that have special night abilities such as investigative or killing, I'll elaborate in a later post) can use their night actions. This is Mafia's time to shine. In the night, Mafia has the ability to commit one Night kill. Quite obviously, this night kill will be committed on a member of the town, as the main purpose of the game while you're mafia aligned is to eliminate the town.
This pattern of lynching (Day Phase) and Night killing from Mafia (Night Phase) continues until the game ends. The game ends when
a.) All Mafia members are eliminated, resulting in a Town Victory
or
b.) Mafia controls the majority of the Town's votes or nothing can prevent this from happening.
Quite obviously if anybody desired to play, I would Moderate the game and give you guys a ruleset and elaborate more and blah blah blah. Just vote on the poll down below and if I get enough Yes' then I'll start a game and shit and blah blah blah.
