Title: MAFIA 2: THE RAT SIGNUP
Post by: Pryopizm on February 14, 2006, 12:21:40 PM
Alright, for all who played and/or enjoyed the last Mafia game, I am starting up a new one.  This one is fairly big, so I need a good signup.  Bring in peoples if you must.

The rules work exactly the same as the last.  But I will recap the general rules:

Rule 1)  You vote for someone

Rule 2)  Everyone may vote, regarldess of whether or not you have a special role

Rule 3)  You may change your vote at any time.  

Rule 4)  You may form alliances and be sneaky while you live, BUT IF YOU DIE, SHUT UP!


Now, for the game specific rules:

Two Mafias in this game again.  Each one has four members.  But both have one shared member.  That man is THE RAT.

The Reggie Mafia --  4 members -  1 is the Godfather:  Reggie; 1 is THE RAT;  and three henchmen;  they get to vote someone out on every odd day.

The Kaplan Mafia --  4 members -  1 is the Godmother:  Kaplan; 1 is THE RAT; and three henchmen;  they get to vote someone out on every even day.

Agent  7  --   The Detective.  He gets to inspect one person every night.  Only thing is, if he inspects either of the Godpeoples, they come off as innocent.  On the third night, he gets a freebie from THE RAT.

The Vigilante --  He can kill one person each night.  But, if he kills anyone who isn't mafia, he dies a horrible death.

Captain Lavender -- This man has the ability to raise the dead one time regardless of whether or not he's killed.  He cannot raise himself from the dead.  But at any point in the game, he may resurrect one player.  He can also reassign the player to another role.  While he may not add additional roles (i.e. an extra cop, vigilante, or Rat) he may replace them (i.e. a dead cop, a dead vigilante, a dead Godfather).  So, watch out, with Captain Lavender's special powers, that guy who you thought was your faithful mafia friend may now be a townie;  or that cop might now be a mafioso.

And the star of the show

THE RAT:  He belongs to both mafias, but holds no allegiance.  On every third day, he will reveal one mafia member to the game master,  the game master will then reveal that mafia member to Agent 7.  On that third day, Agent 7 will not be allowed to investigate anyone as he is given a freebie.  If THE RAT should survive the annihalation of both Mafias, he then works on his own and will proceed to attempt the wholesale slaughter of the entire town.

And of course:

The Townies -- the regular everyday people who just want to survive and vote out the evil mafia members who are trying to kill them off.


The setting will be:

The City of Dugufubuwat



SIGN UP HERE AND ASK QUESTIONS.  REMEMBER, THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS--AND IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN HEAR ME LAUGHING AT YOU ANYWAY.

Wait, no town whore this time?  How am I supposed to whore my special goods to the citizens of Dugufubuwat if I can't be the whore?

Can I be the whore anyway, even if I get no special powers?

(BTW, I'm in like Flynn)

I'm in!

random thoughts:

47. Seems like the rat'll have a hard time. You're enemies with every single person on the game, and can't kill anyone until all the mafia are dead?

5. Wasn't SUPER hosting?

23. The ressurection thing will have a big impact on the game. A raised-from-the-dead mafia member could rat out his entire team.

57. Sounds like fun!

First, you have to find the mystic stones and bring them to the empty warehouse on 714 North Watercrest Street in Chicago, IL.  And do it by noon tommrow, or the world will be doomed.

Once you get to the warehouse, there will be a rather large man there.  His name is Marsha.  Whatever you do, if you value your life, don't make fun of his name.  He'll fill you in on what to do with the mystic stones.  Once that is done, report back.

So many questions I don't know where to begin...

The Reggie Mafia -- 4 members - 1 is the Godfather: Reggie; 1 is THE RAT; and three henchmen; they get to vote someone out on every odd day.
This makes it seem like there are five members per Mafia--1 Godfather, 1 Rat and 3 henchmen.  
Quote

Agent 7 -- The Detective. He gets to inspect one person every night. Only thing is, if he inspects either of the Godpeoples, they come off as innocent. On the third night, he gets a freebie from THE RAT.
What if the cop inquires about the Rat?  Does he come off as a generic mafia member, as the Rat or as a regular townie?
Quote

The Vigilante -- He can kill one person each night. But, if he kills anyone who isn't mafia, he dies a horrible death.
If the vigilante kills the Rat, does he die or is that a legitimate kill?
Quote

Captain Lavender -- This man has the ability to raise the dead one time regardless of whether or not he's killed. He cannot raise himself from the dead. But at any point in the game, he may resurrect one player. He can also reassign the player to another role. While he may not add additional roles (i.e. an extra cop, vigilante, or Rat) he may replace them (i.e. a dead cop, a dead vigilante, a dead Godfather). So, watch out, with Captain Lavender's special powers, that guy who you thought was your faithful mafia friend may now be a townie; or that cop might now be a mafioso.
I'm really confused about this guy.  He seems like a combination of the Doctor character mixed with some weird shape-shifter or something.  Am I reading that right?  Is one of his roles as the Doctor (i.e. he picks someone at random every night to save in case that person is killed by mafia?)  But then he becomes some strange Witch Doctor who can give the special roles of the departed to the living?  Or does he only give the person a new role if that's the person who is killed by the mafia and then subsequently saved?

Here's an example.  Let's say UncleBob is the Rat and then he dies (voted off, betryed by the Godfather, whatever).  Can the Captn' revive him and give him the role of the cop?  If so, do the regular townies know about the roll reversal or do we just know "the mafia killed UncleBob and then he was saved by the Captn'", completely unaware that he used to be the Rat and now he is the cop?

(On a side note, if the Captn' saves someone (and doesn't give him a new role) do the townies learn of that person's role (if any)?  We side-stepped this question last time because Kirby died on the first day.  More clearly put, in your narrative, if Pale is the cop and he's killed off by the mafia but then saved by the Captn' do you state that Pale the cop died but was then saved, or just that Pale died and then was saved, skipping his role?)
Quote

THE RAT: He belongs to both mafias, but holds no allegiance. On every third day, he will reveal one mafia member to the game master, the game master will then reveal that mafia member to Agent 7.
Can the Rat reveal a Godfather, or only the henchmen?

EDIT:  I just reread the part about Captain Lavender.  It seems as if he can only bring one person back from the dead one time (i.e. he's not like the Doctor, which picks someone at random every night).  Is this correct?  He chooses one already dead person and brings them back to life, giving him the roll of a deceased non-townie if he so chooses?

So does this mean no Doctor character?

Damn Vudu, I had to open another tab to respond to your inquiries.

1)  You're right.  There are two henchmen, not three.

2)  The rat will be exposed to the detective (that way the detective can use him if he so chooses)

3)  The rat is a legitimate kill for the Vigilante as The Rat is a threat to the Townies

4)  The Rat may expose whomever he pleases

5)  There is no doctor, only Captain Lavender.  You're right.  He can only use his power once, and he can do it after he dies.  So Captain Lavender is one of the most powerful characters in the game, as he can totally change the tide.  Anyone who dies is immediately exposed, but once they are brought back to life, their role is secret.  If Captain Lavender picks a dead townie and makes him Mafia, then the Mafia guys will know the townie is part of their clan.  I haven't picked the roles, yet, but rest assured, whoever becomes Captain Lavender will be fully aware of his power.

The game begins on Monday.  So there's still plenty of time to sign up and recruit any friends.

Title: RE: MAFIA 2: THE RAT SIGNUP
Post by: UncleBob on February 15, 2006, 05:37:25 PM
Question though - only having four mafia members.. that makes it seem that it'd be pretty likely one mafia could get down to one person + the rat... Doesn't seem like a good situation...

If enough people sign up, I'd say go with three henchmen + the rat + Godfather. It'd make it more interesting...
Title: RE: MAFIA 2: THE RAT SIGNUP
Post by: Pryopizm on February 15, 2006, 05:57:47 PM
It's possible, but anything can happen with Captain Lavender and there's the possibility of the cop finding the Vigilante early on.

what if captain Lavendar resurrects a townie and makes him mafia, but all mafia are still alive. Does that mean one more mafia(=5) or you can only replace a fallen mafia member?

edit:
nevermind, I re-read the rules, it says you can't add members, I'm assuming that means henchmen too

I'm going to sticky this until the end of the day.  Signups close tonight, and during the weekend I will assign roles.  As per last game, PM me back when you receive your assignments.  If you do not recieve a PM from me, then you're a townie.  And remember, it's not because I don't love you, it's because I'm ruthlessly efficient.

Also, with Captain Lavender around, you never know if your role might change completely.
