MAFIA OVERVIEW

Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of this game for the town majority is to kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. The objective of the mafia minority is to survive until they outnumber the town. The game is typically very active, so the thread will grow quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game.


GENERAL RULES

This game follows standard WebDip Mafia Rules, located here.


MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

Players may be warned, forcibly replaced, or modkilled for violation of game rules. The GM team will attempt to minimize disruption to the game, but will use whatever means are needed to preserve the integrity of the game.

Players who have site-wide muted other players are asked to unmute them to play this game. Players who have been silenced on webDiplomacy due to site infractions will be forcibly replaced from the game.

Players who wish to quit playing may be replaced at GM discretion. Replacement is not guaranteed. Substitutes cannot participate in spectator chats until they sub into the game and are subsequently removed from it (e.g., by dying).


VOTING

To vote for a player, type ##VOTE <player> (e.g. ##VOTE Eden). You may unvote by typing ##UNVOTE. You may switch from voting one player to another without unvoting first (e.g., if you ##VOTE Eden then type ##VOTE Bona, you will vote for Bona). You may choose to no-kill by typing ##UNVOTE. You don’t need to type out the player’s full name, but failing to do so may lead to ambiguity that causes errors in vote tallying, particularly with the bot. In the event of a tie vote at the end of the day, no player will be killed.

You may vote to end the day early by typing ##END. If a majority of players are voting ##END and casting the same vote (whether for a player or to no-kill), the phase will end early. If the day ends more than 8 hours into the start of the day phase, the remaining time will be added to the next night phase; if the day ends less than 8 hours into the start of the day phase, the next night phase will end 24 hours early.


SETUP DETAILS IN NEXT POST; PLEASE HOLD!

[President Eden]

SETUP INFORMATION

M1021 is an open setup. There are 10 members of the Town and 3 members of the Mafia.

TOWN:
9 Vanilla Town
1 Itemsmith with the following items to distribute (see Role PMs for details):
“Crystal Ball” (1-shot copscan)
“Healing Ward” (1-shot docsave)
“Ritual Dagger” (1-shot nightkill)
“Apprentice Badge” (1-shot backup)

MAFIA:
3 Goons with a collective vote on the Godfather (see Role PMs for details)


Role PMs

VANILLA TOWN - You have no night actions. You win with the Town by eliminating all Mafia players before the Mafia attains a majority.

ITEMSMITH - Each night, you may distribute one of the following items to any living player. You may only distribute a given item once. You cannot distribute items to yourself. If you distribute an item to a player who dies that night, that distribution will not be refunded.
ITEMS:
- Crystal Ball: You may use this item once at night. When you do, submit a player’s name. At the end of the night, you will learn whether the player wins with the Town or with the Mafia. This item is consumed upon use.
- Healing Ward: You may use this item once at night. When you do, submit a player’s name. That player will be protected from dying that night. This item is consumed upon use.
- Ritual Dagger: You may use this item once at night. When you do, submit a player’s name. That player will die at the end of the night. This item is consumed upon use.
- Apprentice Badge: Hold this item until the Itemsmith dies. When the Itemsmith dies, this item will be consumed, and you will “become” the Itemsmith. You will gain the ability to distribute any items that the original Itemsmith did not attempt to distribute before dying. (You still cannot distribute items to yourself, and any distributions to players who die that night will not be refunded.) You will flip as the Apprentice Itemsmith.
You win with the Town by eliminating all the Mafia before they attain a majority.

GOON - You, along with your teammates [NAME] and [NAME], may collectively decide to kill another player at night. This kill is factional and not tied to any player. You may communicate through your private chat on Discord at any time (including day phases).
During day 1 only, you and your teammates will vote amongst yourselves to assign the “Godfather” title to one member of your team. The Goon who is assigned the “Godfather” title will flip as the Godfather, and will appear to win with the Town instead of the Mafia if targeted with the Crystal Ball.


Order of Operations
*note that if the Itemsmith dies at any point in this order of operations and the Apprentice Badge has been distributed, the Apprentice Badge will be consumed (and its holder will become the Itemsmith) before resuming resolution of night actions.

Itemsmith Distribution
Item Consumption - Healing Ward
Mafia Nightkill
Item Consumption - Ritual Dagger
Item Consumption - Crystal Ball

Questions:

-) The mafia doesn't have a roleblock in this setting, correct?

-) The mafia isn't allowed to communicate (outside the game thread) before EoD concerning the godfather vote, correct?

-) Does the mafia see how their other members vote for the godfather or will it be hidden until SoN1?

-) Can the the flip 'Apprentice Itemsmith' occur while the Itemsmith is still alive or only after the item 'Apprentice Badge' is consumed?

-) The other three items don't have any mentions concerning their flip, is it correct that there will be no special distinction from their role?

-) Is it alright to post in here even if you didn't remove the 'please hold'?

Mafia does not have a roleblock.

The Mafia can communicate at all times in their private chat. The vote is finalized at the end of the first day, but the Mafia can communicate as they please in their chat about the vote or anything else.

ghug and I didn’t explicitly discuss this, so this answer might change, but right now, if a player with the Apprentice Badge flips before the Itemsmith dies, that player will flip as their original role. The Apprentice Badge won’t be consumed.

Correct, no special distinction from their role.

Sure! Post away.

[Kakarroto]

Oh, I missed the daychat thing ... welp

also there is this one question that seems greater than my combined questions, please answer that one:

what happens if itemsmith gives the apprentice badge to maf and dies?

[President Eden]

Missed one :)

The mafia will vote in their night actions channel, which is visible to all mafia players. Think of the vote as analogous to a factional night action.

[President Eden]

missed another lol, multitasking

what happens if itemsmith gives the apprentice badge to maf and dies?

will consult with co-counsel, but as it currently reads:
- the mafia recipient becomes the itemsmith upon the itemsmith’s death
- the mafia itemsmith will flip as an itemsmith
- unclear whether the mafia itemsmith will explicitly flip as a mafia itemsmith or just “itemsmith”

we might adjust the roles a bit (e.g., to flip alignments separate from roles, or to only allow the apprentice badge holder to become the itemsmith if the holder is town)

[Kakarroto]

So with this badge it's not possible a mafia player changes alignment to town player?
