Topic: Mafia 66: Rehash of the Daleks: Sign Ups and Rules Thread!

[pokepal148]

And by Rehash I mean Rehash.

A man named George Ratcliffe was found dead yesterday and the ICMG, upon investigation has found that his insides were 'scrambled'. With the help of the Doctor, a time traveler who showed up on the same day, they were able to learn that George Ratcliffe was working with a race of creatures known as the Daleks. It appears that there are not one, but two opposing Dalek factions who both seek control of a device known as the Hand of Omega which the Doctor claims to have stashed somewhere in town a while back. However The Doctor believes that the ICMG has been infiltrated by both Dalek factions.


Group Captain Gilmore (cop): leader of the ICMG (Intrusion Countermeasures Group) he can use his sources in the British intelligence agency to investigate other players and find out their roles. Group Captain Gilmore has two day 1 investigations, use them wisely captain.


The Doctor (Role blocker): Is aware of everything that happens at night and can prevent any night actions from happening. This ability can only be used Twice. He also has the ability to, at any time regenerate.

Regeneration Should the Doctor opt to regenerate he will lose any of his additional night actions and his ability to vote but will still be able to guide the townies from beyond the grave. If it is done during the day then any votes made against him will be canceled.


Dr. Rachel Jensen: (Doctor) Captain Gilmore's scientific advisor and medical personnel. Has the ability to protect someone but not herself.


Dorothy "Ace" Mcshane: (Vigilante): instead of cowering in fear and screaming like his previous companions the Doctors current companion goes after daleks with baseball bats and her own specialized homemade explosive compound.


Mike Smith (Miller): a young man formerly employed to George Ratcliffe. Although he is functionally a normal townie should he be investigated Captain Gilmore will be told he is a Dalek. The Dalek investigators will merely be told that he's a townie.

important, the player given the Mike Smith role will not be aware of his role. Thus anyone given the role 'townie' could potentially be Mike Smith

The Mafias:
Imperial Daleks:

Davros (godfather): leader of the Imperial Daleks, registers as townie when investigated.


Special Weapons Dalek(role cop): A special forces Dalek who's advanced targeting systems can be used to investigate a player and learn of their roles. This ability can be used twice for a night action on day 1 with a third additional use under the wing for future use. Dalek supreme, and Captain Gilmore are unaffected.

Imperial Dalek drone:

It's a regular dalek, what else is there to say. It shoots lasers and serves Davros. (Will be put into play when we reach 12 players along with its renegade counterpart)

Renegade Daleks

Dalek Supreme(godfather 2): Leader of the renegade Daleks. Registers as townie when investigated.


Little girl/battle computer(role cop): The Dalek Battle computer leeches off the mind of a little girl and her capacity for imagination. Because of this the little girl can be controlled by the computer by remote and used to investigate for player roles with the exception of Davros and Captain Gilmore. This ability can be used twice for a night action on day 1 with a third additional use under the wing.


Renegade Dalek drone: I think of the two, this is the one you shake to get pepper. Oh nope, it's shooting lasers at me.

Tie rule: God so help you if there's a tie. I may just do nothing, I may kill everyone who voted for a tie, I may pick some people and apply the 'voteless' or 'suicidal' role to them, it's like landing on a bowser space in mario party, except no sympathy for fourth place.

Last time as you may recall I basically killed off an entire Dalek faction. I plan to be a bit more careful about how that sort of thing pans out this time if I decide to go that route.

Another idea I have is to send a few PMs kindly informing those who recieve them that I'm going to kill them in a day or two. I think it's a really Osgood way to kill someone off, wouldn't you agree? But don't tell anyone... we'll call it, "our secret girl thing."

Of course I could always do a few public investigations and let you respond accordingly, maybe lie about the results for one of them, It's a bit psychological really.

Or I may just do nothing, as in not even having the two people who the town decided to vote against killed. That's always fun. Especially if I make it so neither of those people

Because there is no killer starting on day 4 both dalek factions will be able to make a hit. Day 2 will only allow the renegade Daleks to make a hit while Day 3 will only allow the imperial Daleks to make a hit. Neither faction will be given a kill on the first day which could be interesting.

Silenced Godfather Clause: if the godfather cannot preform his duties for whatever reason one of his underlings may request a night kill in his place. However if both the godfather and his underling request a kill then the Godfather's kill request will be granted. On day one the two investigations by the Little Girl and Special Weapons Dalek can also be redeemed by this method.
Night actions for all roles are due 20 minutes after the Days end. The Doctor will then be sent a list of night actions and asked if he wishes to block any of them (again this can be done twice), if you have a night action just PM me telling me who you want to investigate/kill/save.

To perform a kill night action (daleks, Ace)
To perform a kill night action (daleks, Ace)

Day ends at 12pm est, next one begins when I make a thread for it to begin.

[NWR_insanolord]

ITT Pokepal can't count. Also, in.

[Spak-Spang]

Something something Sign UP.

[lolmonade]

Yeah, sure, I guess.  I know very little of this Dr. who stuff.

[Khushrenada]

Ok. I'll play. But only if I get a role that makes me immune from the vote and night actions.

[pokepal148]

How do you guys feel about the mafias not having a hit on day 1? I feel like it's an interesting idea,

[Stratos]

If you do that you should replace the mechanic with something different. Maybe no death on day one period and the vote grants someone a special power? We have done something similar in the past.

[Khushrenada]

How do you guys feel about the mafias not having a hit on day 1? I feel like it's an interesting idea,

It's been done before in that a godfather has chosen not to make a hit or was absent day 1 and didn't make a hit. I don't think it does much to change the game. There was also Wanderings game of Mafia 14(?) in which players had to choose whether to keep playing or rest. What that meant was the mafia couldn't make a hit unless the townies rested that night. However, unless the townies rested, they wouldn't know the roles of the players they had voted out. So, to get the information, they had to open themselves up to attack. There was also a rule that on the third day, there would be an automatic rest period if the previous two days had been voted to continue to allow the mafia a hit here and there.

To me, not allowing the mafia to make a hit on day 1 pretty much means you are just giving the investigator a second investigation and why not just give him two on Day 1 then? The rest of the players vote blindly on Day 1 and then they'll still be voting blindly on Day 2 as there is no evidence for or against Mafia shenanigans from the Day 1 vote. Still, it's your game. Do what you want. Just my thoughts. I'm guessing you want to avoid what happened last game with some kind of powerful role being eliminated on Day 1 but that's what happens sometimes in a Mafia game. You can make a special role and have it gone by the end of Day 1. It's just part of the random nature of this game.

EDIT: I was right. It is Mafia 14: Meowfia. That is why I am the best. Also, another opinion for you. Don't have two mafias unless you have enough players to support two mafias.

[Stratos]

You could create a "sleeper" role which you assign to a random townie on the second or third day. Though there have been issues in execution of this idea in previous games. If you clearly define what the role is and make sure people know it has been activated it could work. Maybe.


I sign up for this game too if I have not mentioned it already.

[Spak-Spang]

Honestly, I feel some people forget what the concept of mafia is.  The game is an experiment of a small select group having information to use against a larger group of people...and seeing if that larger group of people can overcome their dilemma and oust the mafia. 

In all reality the mafia should win most games.  So to be delaying the first hit, delays the information the townies can gain from a first hit.  If there is a detective it also gives the townies a bigger advantage...or potentially having a 3 man team before any hits are made...with most mafias only having 4 members that means that the townie alliance is almost as big as the mafia. 

With that said...the game becomes quite a different game when you have 2 mafias...because now it becomes a game of 2 armies fighting with townies as collateral damage.  With 2 mafias the likelihood of townies win is almost zero...so giving that additional advantage might work.

Though, I like the idea of giving the mafia the ability to recruit townies...and possibly their special roles.  With the risk that if you try to recruit the other mafia you lose a member of your mafia, but you also learn a special identity of another mafia. 

This could actually be a pretty good idea with a Doctor Who inspired game.   

[Stogi]

In. If I have a role or some quirk, please...explain...it...to...me....slowly.

[Wah]

Do I have tooo?
Because this ended so well last time...
So disappointed in u Pokepal!
egh I'm in!
IN AMERICA!

[NuclearSpeed]

Missed they last, maybe I should save myself and skip this one, but I'll give it a go.

[Mop it up]

I might as well jump into this train wreck.

[Silenced]

Well I'm glad I'm remembered for something.

[Khushrenada]

Well I'm glad I'm remembered for something.

You've made it, baby!

[stevey]

To in or not to out

[pokepal148]

So I never put a date on here... how does March 16th sound?

[Silenced]

**** it, I'm in. If I go out, I'll go out in a bang.

[Ceric]

I'll play but with new job don't expect much.

[Silenced]

Make me Godfather. At this point, no one will suspect it.

[nickmitch]

Ok.

[pokepal148]

So we have 12 (or Capaldi if you want to do things that way) days until the game starts. You humans had best prepare yourselves.

[Wah]

I'm being mario for this mafia.
 

[marvel_moviefan_2012]

I will play on the condition I get to kill Lucaria on day one. Actually not that I am done with school and work has slowed down I have plenty more free time so whatever count me in.
