Title: Mafia VI: Animal Crossing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 09, 2006, 07:00:30 PM
*Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt*

Tangy fumbled around in the dark looking for her alarm clock.  Why did she get up early again?  Oh yeah!  She knew it was supposed to rain today, the best time to hook an elusive Coelacanth.  After cramming her fishing pole into her dress, she made her way outside.  As the news had forecasted, a steady rain was falling.  Pulling out her stylish umbrella, she skipped merrily down to the beach.  Once there, she started walking as to avoid scaring away her unsuspecting prey.  A shadow!  She cast her line in the direction the shadow was looking.  The fish then turned and swam the other direction!  "Augh!," she murmured, as she cast her line again....and again...and again...Finally she hooked the fish!  "A SEABASS?  WHAT THE ****!?"  As she chucked the fish back into the sea she caught a face-full of tail.  But Tangy wasn't about to give up.  She caught another sea bass, and another...and another..."Where are all the good fish!?," she cried out in disgust.  Then a unusually large shadow caught her eye.  She cast her line, and she hooked.  As she quickly reeled in her catch, her twinkling eyes turned to confusion, and then to fear.  What she had reeled in was not a fish, but the body of a recently murdered villager.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to the world of Animal Crossing...Town Name: Beanerville...Population: Diminishing

Let me introduce myself.  I am the Mayor of Beanerville, Mayor Aurion.  As you can see, Beanerville isn't exactly your usual, friendly Animal Crossing town.  Rather, we've pulled in some dark individuals that thrive on ambition and deceit...And I don't just mean the usual "tree choppers."  It's not a secret that the local monopolizing raccoon, Tom Nook, and his trusty "Crooked Cranny 'Coons" are at war with Black Market veteran Crazy Redd; bodies are found all the time!  And if that were bad enough, I've been receiving suicide bomb threats for the past few weeks!  But no matter, I've decided enough is enough...All of the villagers will be locked inside the town until this matter is sorted out.  Good luck to all of you...

~Mayor Aurion


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now the prologue is out of the way, let me introduce you to the roles of the game!

Mayor Aurion - That's me, your loving grandfather figure!  I'll be monitoring your progress and tallying your votes...

Crooked Cranny 'Coons - The "top dog" gang in town...The Godfather, Tom Nook, has been monopolizing the market for years.  Because they don't know the members of the Black Market Foxes, they will take out everyone in the town with them, but only on odd days...(Tom Nook's identity to Detective Copper is "Villager")

Black Market Foxes - The Godfather of this gang, Crazy Redd, decided to take advantage of Tom Nook's price gouging monopoly a few months back, and has been undercutting the prices of all of Nook's goods (legal and not-so legal) ever since...Like the 'Coons, they wish to get rid of their enemy as soon as possible...They will make hits on even days...(Crazy Redd's identity to Detective Copper is "Villager")

Detective Copper - our local cop has taken it upon himself to locate the members of each gang and bring them to justice.  Being the perfectionist he is, he only investigates the identity of one town member each night.

Mint - This spunky squirrel gets around town faster than anyone, and if you've played Animal Crossing, you know just how fast it is to get around town...With her powers of "persuasion," she is able to sway a close vote in the direction she desires every night...

Blanca - A mysterious foreigner made her way into town before the gates were closed.  She can steal the face of a single person at any point in the game (overnight), killing the original owner of the role in the process...If Blanca ends up wishing to kill someone who is being targetted by Death or Mafia, Blanca will reach the victim first...If Blanca kills Cube, she will die...

K.K. Slider - The local guitar-strumming legend is also an ally of justice...Upset at the general lack of motivation of the Villagers in tracking down the scum of Beanerville, he's become a vigilante...He has enough time to plan one attack on a single person every night, but if kills an innocent his life is forfeit...

Death AKA Mr. Resetti - Who we believe to be a very strict anti-reset mole is actually a messenger from above...He can leave his hole every night to kill one person of his choice...However, if he kills Sable, he will forfeit his position in this world as well...EDIT: I forgot to note that Detective Copper sees Death as a Villager as well...

Guardian Angel AKA Sable - The calm seamstress is the second messenger sent from the other side...She knows the intentions of Death every night, and can protect a single person from Death's touch over the course of the game...otherwise, she can protect one person a night...I guess it's also important to note that Detective Copper is not a medium (one who can see ghosts), and thus Sable's identity to him is "Villager"...

Cube the Suicide Penguin - This crazy penguin is the most dangerous character of the game, and there is no reasoning for his threats...
- can choose 2 people to kill on one night, but he also dies
- if he is killed over-night, the person that killed him also dies
- if he is voted off, all of those who voted for him will die

Bomber's Apprentice - Unfortunately, Cube has taken in an apprentice...When or if Cube dies, his protege will take over the role of Suicide Bomber...It is also important to note that the Apprentice could be ANYONE in the game, even if they already have a role...If the Apprentice has another role, their other role will be their identity if they are investigated...

Villagers - Innocent townies who just want to live the rest of their lives fishing, gardening, and insect catching in peace...

The game will begin two Mondays from now, on June 19th...This should be a fun game, so be as creative as you wish!      

EDIT:  Voting Rules:  You must vote, at the minimum, every other day.  Otherwise you will considering a threat and will be terminated...

Query: I assume whomever is chosen to be Blanca will pick a poster to take over for and not a position - meaning that, say I'm Blanca.  I can't say I want to be Tom Nook and get that role... but I can say I want to be wandering, kill him and take his role (which, may or may not be Tom Nook), right?  Just want to clear that up.

Anywhoo, I'm totally in like Flynn.  You know, except without the rape thing...

Post by: Bill Aurion on June 09, 2006, 07:33:28 PM
Only one UncleBob is allowed in this game! >=|

But yes, Blanca can kill one person, and will take over the role the person had...(Say, if you kill wandering, you will take wandering's role, be it Villager, Godfather, etc, not post under wandering's account)...

And I forgot something important...Everyone must vote at the very least every two days...That is, if you don't vote on Day 1, you MUST vote on Day 2, or you'll be considered a threat and will be offed...

Q: Since Sable is a messenger from above and can't be seen by Det. Copper by anything other than Villager, does the same thing apply to Death? since Death is also a Messenger from above and Det. Copper isn't a medium?

Another Q: After Blanca commits identity theft, does the now deceased persons role get known or are they announced as villager?
Basically will Blanca be able to quietly steal the role and the dead is now presumed innocent and announced as a regular "villager"?
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 09, 2006, 08:04:32 PM
When Blanca makes her kill, the name and identity of her victim will be revealed...
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: UncleBob on June 09, 2006, 08:09:57 PM
If Blanca gets investigated before he/she takes over someone's ID, what will the result come back as?
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 09, 2006, 08:13:54 PM
She will be revealed as herself...
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: UncleBob on June 09, 2006, 08:16:56 PM
So, let's say Blanca never uses her ability - she wins if the townies win, right?
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 09, 2006, 08:20:00 PM
I got one, If Blanca kills Cube to take his identity, do they both die? or does she get to become cube?
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 09, 2006, 08:20:38 PM
UncleBob:  I guess, but that'd be pretty depressing if she didn't use her ability...

BlackNMild:  She will die...

Because they don't know the members of the Black Market Foxes, they will take out everyone in the town with them, but only on odd days...(Tom Nook's identity to Detective Copper is "Villager")

What if Nook and friends kill all of the black market foxes? Same as in other mafia games?

They will feel paranoid that there are still Black Market Foxes left in the village and will continue to kill until everyone in town is dead...

Now the Bomber's Apprentice is basically a normal townie until Cube dies, right?

Does the BA know who Cube is at all?  Could he try to convince the town folk to vote for Cube, change his vote at the last second and cause some mayhem?  That would be fun.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 09, 2006, 08:32:21 PM
Correct, the Bomber's Apprentice is a Villager until Cube dies...And of course they know each other...
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Mario on June 09, 2006, 08:34:14 PM
So the Bombers Apprentice knows their role from the beginning or does Cube get to choose who they are? If so, then does that mean someone could have multiple roles, like a mob member who can explode himself?

Bomber's Apprentice is chosen from the beginning of the game...I have detailed the extra details in my edit...

Edit:  The Detective, Mint, and K.K. do not know who the others are, but it is in their interest to find each other as soon as possible...They are on the Townie team...

Seperate and just townies, but they are all on the same side, they don't know of each others identities but if they do learn of them I guess you could consider them a team, helping the townies.
Title: RE:Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: UncleBob on June 09, 2006, 08:46:42 PM
Okay, so let me go through the list and get this all straight.

Crooked Cranny 'Coons - They want everyone dead except for themselves.

Black Market Foxes - They want everyone dead except for themselves.

Detective Copper - He wants the two mafias dead, death dead and both bombers dead.

Mint - sHe wants the two mafias dead, death dead and both bombers dead.

Blanca - Depends on who she kills...
(Rule question - if Blanca chooses to kill someone that the Mafia wants to kill, she gets there first... but then the mafia doesn't get to kill her right away, correct?)

K.K. Slider - He wants the two mafias dead, death dead and both bombers dead.
(Rule question - the BA is a townie until Cube is dead, so if KK Slider kills the BA before Cube is killed, KK Slider is killed for killing an innocent, correct?)

Death AKA Mr. Resetti - Wants everyone but himself dead.

Guardian Angel AKA Sable - Wants the two mafias dead, death dead and both bombers dead.

Cube the Suicide Penguin - Can't really "win" the game, persay - just wants to kill as many people as possible.
Bomber's Apprentice - Can't really "win" the game, persay - just wants to kill as many people as possible.

Villagers - Wants the two mafias dead, death dead and both bombers dead.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 09, 2006, 08:50:23 PM
Since Blanca reaches the victim first, what happens to Death or the Mafia's hit?
Are they notified that Blanca got there first and their job was already done or is that detailed in the morning story?
Does that also mean that their hit has been wasted and they go throughout the nite without an action?
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 09, 2006, 08:51:25 PM
Blanca - Depends on who she kills...
(Rule question - if Blanca chooses to kill someone that the Mafia wants to kill, she gets there first... but then the mafia doesn't get to kill her right away, correct?)


I don't understand your question...She steals the ROLE of her victim, not the victim's name...Thus, if the Mafia target wandering (haha), and Blanca gets to and kills wandering first, then the Mafia arrive to find wandering dead...

If K.K. Slider kills the Bomber's Apprentice, it will count as a positive kill...K.K. will not die...

Everything else seems right...

BlackNMild:  Correct, their hit will be wasted...

I am so in this.

Question, if in the off chance that Cube gets voted off unanimously (or if cube is dead, the BA), does no one win?

Edit: Want to add that I love the premise for this game, this is gonna be fun.

Post by: vudu on June 11, 2006, 04:53:30 AM
I haven't read the rules yet, but I'm in.

EDIT:  Okay, I finally read the rules.  Nothing seems broken per se, but there is one very troublesome aspect pertaining to Cube the Suicide Penguin.  I don't like the fact that if he gets voted off, everyone who voted for him dies too.  It's going to really discourage people from voting until he dies.  Hell, for the first couple of days I'd just vote for myself rather than take a wild guess and rick voting for Cube.  It would make a lot more sense to have it so only the last person who votes dies (like the last game).

Also, I'd like to clarify ... unlike the last game, Cube can choose two people to die at any time, not necessarily on the third day, right?  And he dies too, no matter what (he doesn't live if he guesses a mafia member like the last game, right)?  It just doesn't seem like he'd ever want to kill anyone.  Man's natural instinct is self preservation.  Why would he choose to take himself out (and a couple other people) if he thought still had a chance of living another day?

Finally, I don't believe you specified how many mafia henchmen will be on each team.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 11, 2006, 08:33:40 AM
The purpose of Cube is to get people to actually THINK about who to vote for, not just indiscriminately vote for whoever comes to mind, something that has been a problem in a lot of Mafia games when it comes to bandwagons...The aspect of fear is something I really want to play out in this game...And as I've stated, everyone MUST vote every two days, so they don't really have a choice...

Cube can choose two people at any time during the game, and he will be dead for good, no matter who he kills...Of course, this is only an option that he will be given...I would personally rather see Cube try to get a bunch of people to vote for him...

How many henchmen will be in the final game will be determined when I have the final attendance list...Right now it looks like it could be 4 members per mafia...  
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: vudu on June 11, 2006, 10:16:27 AM
I think your Cube strategy is going to backfire on you (much as it did the last game).  People will abstain from voting as much as possible (i.e. vote only every other day rather than every day).  When they do vote they will vote for someone who won't be voted off (i.e. a throw-away vote) so they have less of a chance of dying themselves.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 11, 2006, 10:31:25 AM
I guess the Mafia will have an easy time then, no?  It's completely up to the Villagers to not be little wimps and do some deduction...
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: stevey on June 11, 2006, 01:02:36 PM
I dont think anyone stoped from voting cause their was the MR. DTman in last game, beside on day 1 when sabby voted for stabby.  
Title: RE:Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 11, 2006, 01:19:42 PM
What I think would be interesting way to handle the voting for Cube thinkg would be, is to make it so that everyone that votes for cube dies except the first person that is voting for him(unless it only took one vote to win). This way it will encourage everone to vote but be wary of actually bandwagoning.

edit: This will also give Cube's Assistance a little assistance towards encouraging a vote for Cube and trying to get as mamy people taken out as poossible, so that he can rightfully take his place.

Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 11, 2006, 04:20:45 PM
Eh, I don't like that idea due to the fact that the person who wants to start the bandwagon isn't punished...Because there'd be nothing to lose, someone could start an indiscriminate vote/bandwagon and know that he is free from death...
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 11, 2006, 04:47:03 PM
that would be the fun of trying to start a bandwagon and punishing those that join it.
But it is your game, and the rules are fine as you have layed them out, just shooting out suggestions to maybe be used in future versions or what not.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: UncleBob on June 11, 2006, 06:10:22 PM
I would like to see a rule that you can't vote for yourself...  That would go a little ways to prevent people from throwing away their vote.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Zach on June 11, 2006, 06:32:45 PM
I agree with bill here, the first person to vote has to die too, if BnM's rule were put into place people would simply vote for someone who hadn't been voted for yet.  

Its gonna be interesting if the cube gets voted out by a landslide, and we end up losing 75% of the people.  
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 11, 2006, 07:03:52 PM
well, if the Cube's Assistant has started the vote, will he be blown up too?
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Zach on June 11, 2006, 08:49:55 PM
I guess so, but it would not be likely considering the cube's assistant knows who cube is.  I could see the assistant starting a bandwagon for the cube, then changing his vote at 11:59.

I'm going to be at a weeklong party when the game starts, so I wasn't going to join.  It looks like too much fun though, and hey, we'll have the internet there, so I'm in.  Can't wait.  Cube looks awesome.  Oh yeah, how many people are on each mafia team?  I dont' think that one has gotten an answer just yet..  Other then that, looks great.

the # of Mafia per team will be decided depending on how many people sign up to play.

I have another question because I'm too lazy to count my self...
Q: How many people have signed up so far?

What are the voting rules?  Vote every other day minimum?  Post every 3 days minimum?

30 or so.

(By comparison, 20 signed up for my game. But that shouldn't be taken as a sign that Bill is more popular than me. Oh no! If anything, more people are signing up for Bill's game because they feel sorry for him.)

Vote every other day minimum. Not sure how you could vote without posting...

Awww, wandering its not that Bill is more popular* than you, its just that Mafia is becoming more popular than it was before. really that is all there is to it

"Oh yeah, how many people are on each mafia team? I dont' think that one has gotten an answer just yet.."

It could be up to 5 people per mafia at this point...

"Q: How many people have signed up so far?"

31 is my current count...

I say we have a third BA instead.

I dont like Cube's Assistant part since he has every reason to kill cube and will kill the many townies who follow in unknowly, can you make it a rule that he can't vote for cube ever since he has a 100% chance to back stab Cube on day one.  
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: UncleBob on June 13, 2006, 04:50:21 PM
Quite simply though, Cube wants to die.  It's an odd position he's in - there's no real way for Cube to win (Unless, by some random freak chance he's the only one left standing - which is very unlikely.)  Cube's whole goal is to cause mayhem and mass destruction.  So, if the BA backstabs Cube on Day 1, that's fine... so long as Cube's death kills many, many people.

And since the BA has the same "goal" as Cube (mayhem and mass destruction), when things are said and done, the two of them will simply be working together to get the entire town killed.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 13, 2006, 04:50:54 PM
But the sole goal of Cube is to take out as many people as possible!  He's not trying to survive! =D

(Edit:  Oh dear, posted the same minute...)

Howza bout a few more special roles considering the signup volume?
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: UncleBob on June 13, 2006, 06:38:51 PM
We already have a ton of roles to keep track of as it is.  Besides, Cube could manage to take out 75% of the participants in the first day.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 13, 2006, 07:00:24 PM
There are now officially 5 people per Mafia, so that'll do it for roles...

Post by: Bill Aurion on June 14, 2006, 04:12:44 AM
If everyone thinks it's that big of a deal I can change it back to 4, but last game there were 8 mafia members in a game of 21, while this time there are 10 mafia members planned for a game of 30 people...If anything, the mafias have more of a disadvantage this game...  

Edit:  UncleBob has suggested that we have three Mafia instead...Would 3 Mafia with 3 people be more palatable?

I support the forming of another mafia if it is led by blathers, otherwise no.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing

Hehe.... Blathers was my suggestion to Bill to head up the third mafia...
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 14, 2006, 08:32:19 AM
Well I hit some major opposition to a third Mafia on MSN, so I guess we'll stick with the two 5-man teams...I'm closing sign-up tomorrow afternoon, and everyone should have their roles by tomorrow night...
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: vudu on June 14, 2006, 08:51:48 AM
How about you add another cop, but keep their identities secret from one another?  Because if on the off-chance that the cop dies early in the game, the townies are screwed.  Or add a second vigilante.  Or a doctor.
Title: RE:Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Sir_Stabbalot on June 14, 2006, 10:43:22 AM
Yeah, there are two cops in Animal Crossing, why not add in Booker, the lazy one who handles the lost and found?

EDIT: Or have Booker be able to make one person a cop if the cop dies, but he has to be careful, less we have a mafia member also be the cop.

Or have Blathers be a second non-affiliated cop. After all, there's got to be lots of records for him to research up on other animals.

Or have Kapp'n be another vigilante.

Or... I'll stop now.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 14, 2006, 12:00:42 PM
Okay, let's try this:  There are two cops, they don't know each other's identity, and they work every other day...When one of them dies, the other works every day...

Sound good?

I'm not sure that's an advantage the townies need. If the amount of mafia is proportional to the other games, the townies already have a slight advantage, because more players means more days for the townies to wise up to things.

....of course, that's not factoring in cube. But I'm not sure there's any way to factor him in....
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 14, 2006, 12:14:05 PM
And this is exactly why I shouldn't be asking for suggestions...We'll just play with what we have, and if it turns into a landslide in one way or the other than that's what happens!

Not listening to what your players want is always the way to go. I hope you have a greater appreciation of Nintendo now!

(Though I suppose that isn't really possible in this particular case...)
Title: RE:Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: Khushrenada on June 14, 2006, 02:31:35 PM
I have one more question (and you're going to like this one). What does PM mean? (And I'm not referring to time). You mention how you will PM roles or players can PM one another but I'm not sure what that means. I think it has something to do with a private message box but I'm not sure on that. Also, I was looking in my profile but saw nothing for a private message so I was just wondering what that was about. I just thought I should know that in case you want to give me a role in this game but I doubt it now that I've shown this complete lack of technical expertise.

And while were on the subject, how does the mafia perform a hit? Do all mafia members know who one another are or do they have to try to find one another first? And if they have to find one another, how do they vote someone out? These are the only issues I can't seem to find an answer for.
Title: RE: Mafia VI: Animal X-ing
Post by: IceCold on June 14, 2006, 02:37:42 PM
PM is in fact private message. look at the top left of your screen where that red lock is. Click it to see all your private messages. Mafias perform hits through the PM system - sending a message to Bill. Also, all mafia do know who their teammates are.

All the people in a Mafia know who each other are.  They decide on who to vote for together, and then the Godfather of each mafia (Tom Nook or Crazy Redd) send a private message to me with their final hit...

Since you dont know what they are, you can send me a test PM, all you have to do is click on the lock on the upper right corner of my post.  I will reply once I have gotten it.  You absolutely have to know how to PM if you want to play mafia.
