Calvin and Hobbes Mafia Sign-Ups
« on: January 09, 2008, 06:02:06 AM »
The game will begin next Monday, January 14th.

Roles go out Sunday, Sign-ups close when I declare they close on Sunday.

All players can vote for an MVP at the end of the game to win a prize.  The MVP must have won the game.

Normal townies do not have to be alive at the end of the game to win, but, the townies must have officially won.

The prize will be a VC title of your choice.

THURSDAY EDIT  Mrs. Wormwood's role has been altered heavily.  So has Rosalyn's.  Other player's roles have received touch-ups.

The game...is mafia.

The rules are simple.

Two sides fight against each other.  There's the mafia, ruthless killers, thieves, and conspirators.  They work covertly and kill at night.  In this game, Mrs. Wormwood, Good Calvin, Rosalyn, Moe, and Mr. Lockjaw comprise our mafia.  Their goal?  To kill or control all the townies.  To do this, their numbers must equal or be higher than the remaining townies, with both the Killer and the Suicide Bomber dead.

Then there's the townies.  The normal, good natured citizens of the city.  They work hard, sweat and toil, only to find evil amidst them.  In this game, Calvin, Hobbes, Calvin's Mom, Calvin's Dad, Uncle Max, Stupendous Man, and Spaceman Spiff comprise the townies.  Their goal is to rid the town of the aggressive, secret oppressors, the mafia, by killing them all.

Each day, everyone in the town votes to kill a member of the town, or if the townies elect, they can choose not to vote as well.  The player with the most votes at the end of the day is lynched.

In this specific game of Mafia, we're playing with Calvin and Hobbes characters, locations, items, and motives.  When a player is killed, he is hit with one of Calvin's new Transmogrifier rays, which is now permanent.  The player will then turn into something else, like a worm or a lamp, and will no longer be allowed to participate in the game in any way.

In this game, there are several roles.  The descriptions in the post below describe how players with the said roles win and lose.  All players who do not receive a role in the post below will be Calvin's Classmates, who, caught in the middle of an incident bigger than Noodles, just don't want to turn into lions, tigers, bears, or anything like that.  The roles will be edited for clarity as needed, but there probably won't be any major changes at this point.  Calvin's Classmates are on the townie side.

The setting is the panels of Calvin and Hobbes.  Anywhere that occurs in the strips can be in this game.  The camping grounds, the school, or anywhere is available.

Time passes during the game of mafia similarly to how time passes in real life.  The game is divided into two sections, night and day.  During the day, generally the only major event that occurs is the vote.  Each player may vote for a player to kill of his or her choosing.  In this game, immediately after the day ends, the vote ends, and the player with the most votes is killed.  In the event of a tie, no tie-breaker time will be allotted.  instead, the two people who lose the vote will send me a PM of one person they'd each like to kill, then 3/4 of the players that were voted for/picked will die, at random.  Yes, this means you can tie in the vote, pick any player you want to die, and still live, it's just unlikely that this would happen.  Also during the day, all night actions need to be PM'ed to me.  I will not accept any late night actions.

During the night, several things take place.  After planning their moves during the day, all the roled players who have night abilities will act, believe it or not, simultaneously.  For example, if the mafia's hit ends up on Calvin's Mom, and she chooses to mend Hobbes that night, then she dies, but Hobbes is also mended.  This all takes place after a player is voted out, so if Calvin's Mom decided to mend Hobbes, but is then voted out, Hobbes will not be mended.

In this game, the day will be considered "Class Time," and the night will be considere "Out of School"

That's all for the rules for now, ask me if you have any questions.

In like Flynn.

EDIT #1:  I'm confused; why do Rosalyn and Moe lose if all Calvins are destroyed?  If they're mafia shouldn't they want to kill the non-good Calvins?

#2:  OH GAWD, Tyrannosaur in an F-14 is awesome.

#3:  What the Hell?  There's no Tracer Bullet as the cop.  This game sucks.

I'll explain that a little bit more clearly pretty soon.

Pretty much, the deal is that Rosalyn needs Calvin to make money, and that Moe needs Calvin to Bully.  Mrs. Wormwood and Mr. Lockjaw have no reason to keep Calvin alive, really.  The Premise is that the game is all about Calvin.  Several characters care about getting rid of Calvin, several need him alive.  Several don't care if he dies or is replaced by good Calvin.  Several would prefer that he is replaced by good Calvin.  But the deal is, if Good Calvin dies, all of a sudden, Moe and Rosalyn are, in a way, neutral, as well, since they want the mafia to out number the townie side, but not kill Calvin.  I've got some rule clarification to do, which is part of the reason why nothing is finalized at this point.

Also, Tracer Bullet may make it in the final cut.  He was left out due to balance issues, but if I weaken Hobbes a little, then weaken the Tracer Bullet role, I'll fit him in.  The I want is that whenever you investigate a lot of people with roles, they come up as a Calvin, but you don't know which Calvin is the original, which is a transmogrified player, and which is good or evil.  I think I might make Hobbes loose the ability to identify other people, while allowing him to know who Calvin is from the very beginning, and letting him see if a player is a Calvin or not.  Basically, I'm trying to create mostly new or heavily altered roles to make new opportunities.  The different options for victory even among sides is something Spak inspired.

Tyrannosaur in an F-14 is just awesome, I agree.  The trick is that he really can't talk to other people about what he knows at all.  I might revise some of what he can do with Susie, we'll have to see.

About the Tyrannosaur in an F-14 role:  I'm considering only allowing veteran, trustworthy players have this role, by which I mean players who have played before and need to play honest to have a reputation to be able to play again.  There's a good chance that I'll ask players to PM me who would like this role, and not share that fact with anyone else, so that it gets in the hands of someone who has no chance of being dishonest with it, and that this person will be okay with playing with this limited, yet open role.  So essentially, I guess I'll go ahead and say it, if you want the chance to be the Tyrannosaur, you need to PM me by the very beginning of Sunday to ensure the opportunity of receiving the role.  Fair enough?

So, I think this might be the most confusing Mafia game ever...and it will either be super thrilling with all the new rules, or be a dud.  But, I am actually hopeful because it is something brand spanking new...and that is always great.
