After the sign ups reach a high enough number, I will randomly select some of you to be the mafia, one of whom will be the Godfather. During each night phase, the godfather will select a person to kill, perhaps with input from the mafia lackies. If the Godfather dies, then the mafia MUST reach a majority via PMing me their votes. I will announce when each night begins. And obviously don't tell anyone you're in the mafia, not even your allies - they already know.

Another person will be the Vigilante, another the Bodyguard, and another the Detective, all selected at random. During each night phase, these characters will PM with the name of someone they want to act on. the Vigilante will kill that person (They don't have to kill someone if they don't want to), the bodyguard will prevent that person from dying (Bodyguards can prevent only the mafia from killing someone, but can not protect themselves, or stop a lynching; they also need not act), and the Detective (There's no reason for them to not act) will get a PM from me, telling me the identity of the person. If they are the godfather, it will only say Mafia. These people all side with the citizens. You can reveal your identity, but at your own risk. You may be telling the mafia that you're important! the mafia also kills before the Vigilante, so if s/he's targeted, their target doesn't die. Of course, if the Bodyguard has the Vigilante's back, then the Vigilante's plans go through.

the normal citizens can only do one thing: Vote to lynch someone. Other citizens, including the mafia, also vote to lynch. A lynch occurs once someone has a majority of the votes (so, if we have 21 players, that's 11. Even numbered ties will be broken by vote changes, or coin tosses if they drag on for too long). Pay attention to how people voted. Obviously, the mafia would also like to turn the crowd against itslef.

When someone dies, their role will be explicitly stated.

There are two phases: Day and Night. the game will start with Night 1, where the special people PM me with their choices. once all the PMs are in order, I will announce who died, and how. How will provide a small clue to the killer (the mafia killings, the vigilante's victims will all have their throats slashed and hte blood will spatter onto their bedroom window). After Night 1 comes Day 2 (Day 1 is happy day, until the mafia claims its first victim - Me, because I'm not in the game). During the Day, people will post in the designated topic, and discuss who they think the killer was. They will also vote to lynch publically in that topic.

the game ends either when the last Mafia member is killed (Innocent victory) or the Mafia members gain a majority during the day (Mafia victory). If the game ends at a 1-1 tie (not likely), I'll come up with a devious tie breaker

*Bodyguard can protect himself or herself from the mafia (not the vigilante) ONCE per game
*Players cannot use PMs or message logs as evidence

Oh, *doesn't get it*

Looks like a game I own though, never played it since I need 8 people for it.What's it called. *looks it up in Wiki* Oh, it is the same, but in the Dutch version it's with werewolves...

SIMPLE RULES.

1. people are picked by the rng to get jobs.
Godfather
mafioso (4 to 7 of these.) (usually)
detective
bodyguard
vigilante
detective
Everyone else is a citizen.

2. Every day we vote to lynch some person, and you pick someone to lynch through clues. Every night the mafia kills someone, the vig kills someone, the detective can investigate someone, and the bodyguard protects someone.

3. The game is won when all mafiosos are killed, or mafiosos outnumber citizens.

Where I come from, we play with Doctor (same as Bodyguard) and Policeman (same as Detective). No Vigilante and no mafioso, just mafia members. We play with a storyteller, who narrates, and all the mafia agree to kill one person during the night. Without being able to speak to each other, of course, which is half the fun. ^_^

In other words, I am familiar with this game. >_>

A mafioso is a fancy word for a mafia member. Or did you mean the Godfather?

Lawl, we played this at a friends birthday party, we all looked at the only 2 italian kids in the room and we were like 'VOTE FOR VITO/JOHNNY!' (their names, d'er) and they didn't get it. Then they figured out that the mafia is normally italian <_<;


We didn't have the doctor. Or the bodyguard. Or hell, anything. We had the Mafia, the citizens. <_<; That was all. And a Judge.. Lawl, it was funny, we had like 6 people. >_>;

I think I understand pretty well, but I just have a few of questions...


Does the Mafia win when they outnumber all of the other players, or do they only have to outnumber the normal citizens?

Secondly, in the discussion topic, can we talk about anything, or can we only discuss who the killer was and vote to lynch someone, or can we say anything? That is to say, could someone claim to be have a certain role, for whatever reason?

Also, do the Detective, Vigilante and Bodyguard all know each other's identity?

1. Outrnumber all non-mafiosos
2. you can't say you have a certain role, but idiotic pointless discussion is allowed.
3.No.

Also, I should just c/p the revised rules into the first post, but I'm lazy, so I'll wait for when i get around to writing a serious set of rules.

One thing I want to change, the bodyguard should be able to save from vig kills, and he should be able to save himself.

It helps the cits, but not entirely, like say the vig picks right, but the bodyguard saves the mafia.

I have no problem with that, but if the Bodyguar is attacked and protects himself/herself/itself, the mafiosos or the vigilante would know who he is instantly, depending on who attacked.

Not that the bodyguard would survive long after protecting himself, but I have no problem. Only once I was the bodyguard and I did my job saving Feenix. Then the idiots went on a lynching spree against me. I need to hire a lawyer next time >_>

EDIT: I corrected a pretty ambiguous part. SRY

Obviously. Also, I have no reason for it, but I am not a fan of the BG being able to protect himself. It means he can pretty much say, "hay guyz, im bg" and not have any kind of negative consequence.

Nea, it just extends the length of the game, gives the guard more advantages at the expense of the vigilante.

Mafia kills BG friend #1

BG: Hey, you were supposed to try and kill me!

Alternatively:

GF: But he'll be protecting himself!

I'll kill his firend! I'm so clever!

BG: lol no *doesn;t defend self*

Basically, if the BG is any good, he'll very who he protects, so the mafia has a good chance of wasting a night if they attack him, but the BG still has a chance to protect somebody.
Now's my chances!

Yeah, you're right. What's the problem with the cits, and more important the Vigilante or Detective, knowing who the BG is right off the bat and knowing that they can trust him? I mean, that would only mean that the detective could fliter information through him and be able to tell everyone who's a mafioso and who isn't, or never having the vigilante's shot blocked, or the mafia having to waste a turn every so often taking a shot at him.

The mafia game is based entirely on knowledge- the mafia starts off as the most powerful group, because they already know who's who, and they're given that information because really, they're far weaker than the citizens. If the cits are given the same information as the mafia at the beginning, there isn't a game.
Now's my chances!
