It was a bright sunny day in the little town of Springfield. Marge was at the grocery store with Maggie, when suddenly, the ground began to shake. She ran outside to see what was the matter, as the ground began to heave more and more violently. Suddenly, the Power Plant that had so long been on the horizon exploded in a great mushroom cloud, and much of the town was destroyed by either the quakes, or the explosion. Letting out a bloodcurdling scream of horror, Marge ran home to check on Bart and Lisa, and to try to find out the fate of her dear Homer.
There were two groups of survivors from the explosion of the power plant:
---Mr. Burns was among the survivors, when the explosion occurred he was sitting in his mansion, discussing with his Blood Sucking lawyers how to legally sell the organs of workers who died in accidents. In an Ironic twist, the plant exploded just before they managed work that into the contracts of all of the employees. Burns was furious not only because he lost the plant, but also, all the employees died before he could harvest their organs. Burns believed the accident was due to the incompetence of the workers, namely the plant’s safety inspector, Homer Simpson. Burns and his lawyers will exact their revenge on even numbered nights.
---Oddly enough Homer and some of his buddies were also among the survivors, they were out getting hot dogs when the explosion occurred. Homer’s scream of D’OH was so loud that they heard it in Shelbyville. Upset that all of their friends in the plant had died, Homer blamed Mr. Burns for buying cheap, poorly built parts. Homer and his crew will exact their revenge on Mr. Burns on odd numbered days.
-Godfathers come up as innocents, if they are inspected
-Unless they are the only person left, godfathers must send a henchman to make their kill. So they need to pm me the victim and who is going to make the hit.
While much of the town was destroyed, there are still plenty of people around to sort this whole mess out.
---Mayor Quimby: Me, In light of this tragic event, I have decided to gather the whole town in the town hall, so that we can take care of the mafia.
---My Mistress: She has some influence over me (because of her huge magumbos). If there is a tie, she decides who is killed. If my mistress is killed, I will just have to go to my room, flip a coin, and weep for all of the registered voters who have died.
---Wayland Smithers was chewing food for Mr. Burns at the time of the explosion, his attachment to Mr. Burns is so strong that, should Mr. Burns be killed, Smithers will go on a murderous rampage, and take the lives of 2 Springfielders the next day.
---Marge Simpson: Hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn. Should Homer die, in her anguish, Marge will kill 2 people the next day.
---Bart and Lisa Simpson have decided to help the people, and will protect one person each night. If both are alive, they must agree on who to protect (So they must BOTH PM me). Whomever they protect is also immune from the vote the next day. I will not tell who they are protecting, so if the person whom they are protecting is voted out, then nothing happens. Also, if their protectee is attacked, the attacker dies along with one of the two simpsons (I flip a coin to decide which one)
---Maggie Simpson: Suck Suck…….Suck Suck……Suck Suck…….Oh, and she kills one person a night.
---Krusty: has the ability to distract Maggie, Bart, and Lisa, and prevent their actions. However, he can only distract each child once. So he can stop Maggie once, and he can stop Bart and Lisa twice (once for Bart, and once for Lisa).
---Moe Syzlak: Owner of the bar, Moe has connections from the people who get drunk in his bar. Every night he has the ability to get any one person to tell them what their target is.
---Barney Gumble: armed with his explosive belching, and bombs made out of Duff bottles, Barney has decided to end his own life, and he wants to take as many people out with him as possible:
-kill two people on one night (as well as himself)
-If he is voted out, all who vote for him die
-If he is attacked, the attacker who makes the hit dies with him.
---Patty and Selma: Because no one can actually see them, due to the incredible amount of tobacco smoke, they can kill once during the game, and take their victim’s place. Like Bart and Lisa they must agree on their actions and both PM me. Example, they must both agree on who to replace, and should they take the place of a godfather, they must both agree on their assassinations. Also, since they are always together, should one die, the other one dies as well.
---Police Chief Wiggum has decided to figure this whole thing out, so he gets to investigate one person a night, however, since he has such stubby legs, he can’t catch anyone, and is unable to make any kills.
---Ned Flanders: Has taken it upon himself to end the sin in the town, with a cross on his chest, and the power of God on his side, he seeks to send the evildoers to hell didely ell with one kill every night. Should he kill an innocent, he will take his own life.
*special notes about flanders*
-Marge and Smithers are guilty because it is in the townies best interest to kill them before a godfather.
-Patty and Selma are innocent until they make their kill, then it depends on whose role they take.
-Bart and Lisa, Krusty, and Moe are innocent.
-Maggie is guilty, even though it is a shame to kill a baby. I know it does not sound right for flanders to kill her, but I willl explain should the situation come up
---Townies: They all just want to sort out this whole mess so that they can put this tragedy behind them, and get on with their lives.
VOTE QUIMBY…..WAIT, don’t vote quimby!
I have not yet decided on a date to start, I thought I would let people give me suggestions. I was thinking the 14th, because that is about one month after the last game started.
I will decide how many members there are of each mafia depending on how many people sign up.
Since this is my first time hosting, I am open to any suggestions (the rules can still be changed)
EDIT: Marge and Smithers are now members of their lover's mafia. Should the head of the mafia die, as a final act they get to choose whether their lover, or their henchman takes their place as leader
THE START DATE IS AUGUST 14. THE END OF SIGN UPS IS SUNDAY AT 8! MORE PEOPLE ARE WANTED, BUT NOT NECESSARY.

I don't get the role of Moe--his ability is to "get any one person to tell them what their target is"? What if he investigates someone without a target such as most of the special characters on days when they don't act or regular townies?

Example:
Stevey gets the Duffman special guest. During that day he has the ability to either get someone so drunk that they cannot perform actions and there vote is thrown out, because they couldn't make it to the polls and must be decided before the person votes, or he can instead use his girls and duff powers to shield him from being killed. Ok Stevey's day with the abilities is gone so he can no longer do anything like that anymore. A day or so later Maggie wackes him. So for his death it would be. "Innocent #3,stevey, known for his role as Duffman in Day 2 was killed by the breaking of the shins with a grocery cart and the following stabbing."
That would be cool with this game in particular because there is a lot of source material. Though I throw this out for others Mafia games as well. Just an idea.

If Moe investigates someone without a target, then he gets nothing. So that doesnt help him much considering that it may only mean that another member of said mafia was sent to make the kill.
However, should Moe query someone and they say that their target is stevey (sorry stevey, you just came to mind first), and stevey ends up dead the next day, Then Moe gets a good clue about that person.
Similarly, if bart or lisa are asked who their target is, they will tell moe who they are protecting (as they are not of drinking age, but are instantly intoxicated just from the fumes of the bar).
Edit: Athrun, that part I put in about weeping about the dieing registered voters was only a joke, and doesnt have any bearing. In short, should there be a tie after my mistress has died, I will pick randomly.
Edit2: I like the idea Ceric, but I think it would be difficult to use it without disrupting the balance of the game.

I also wanted to mention that like some have already figured out, you can pick your own simpsons characters (there are plenty left), but it is not a requirement. If you do pick a character I may try to use it in the death story.
Post by: couchmonkey on August 08, 2006, 07:53:58 AM
I will pick a character sometime, probably, but since it's not a requirement I'll be lazy about it.

Its hard to pick a theme that everyone likes. So I picked the simpsons because I am a big fan, and I got the feeling that a lot of PGCers were too. For example with the last mafia, I am not a pokemon fan, but it was still a fun game. The same thing here, you dont have to be a simpsons fan to enjoy the game, and I'm glad that you realized that by joining.
Post by: couchmonkey on August 09, 2006, 06:33:19 AM
It messes with my head too much. I would never complain about the theme*, they're just there to add something to the game. * Well, maybe if the theme was Satanic Puppy Murder Sex Deviants.

quick note. Ever since I have been playing (since Mafia V) this has not been the rule. So please do not make it seem like it is MY fault that you do not like the date. Mafia V started June 1st. Mafia VI started June 20th, mafia VII started July 17th.

UncleBob will also be joining us. again, I Havent given out all of the roles yet, so do not assume he is a townie.
Edit: You guys are lucky Im so nice.
Edit2: I have sent out all of the roles. If you did not recieve a pm, you are a townie.
Post by: Khushrenada on August 13, 2006, 07:44:23 PM
I guess I should have signed on earlier but I wasn't sure if I wanted to play right now because I'm going to be pretty busy the first couple days. But then I felt, what if I survive those days? Then I'd have a chance and would be kicking myself for not playing. Plus, I have a new system for playing.
Give away my vote.
Yes, that's right! In order to survive, I, Khushrenada, will give you my vote each and every day for the promise that you will not kill me.
What does this mean?
If you're a mafia member and you pm me with a pledge to not kill me, I will vote with you the whole game and never against you. You tell me who to vote for and I will do it! All I ask is that you let me live until I'm the last person you need to whack in order to win.
But what about those townies? Why betray my own people? Well, fear not. If a townie takes me up on my offer, then they have just formed the first step in a townie voting block. They can use me to start votes against people they feel suspicious about and join that vote later. Moreover, by using me, I serve as a bodygaurd to deflect mafia away from them by having the mafia's target me, thereby allowing them to live another day and hopefully win.
That's all fine and good but I have a special role that keeps from ever winning the game. Why should I care? Glad you asked my good friend for I have something to offer you. Since you sadly already have one foot in death's door, you'll want to wreak vengence on all those who put you in this position. But since you can't take every one with you, why not use me as a weapon to fire all sorts of baseless and innacurate suspicions all over the place, thereby ensuring everyone will be too muddled to know what to think or who to trust and lament how much better things were before you were dead. Plus, if you decide to really shoot me off on all sorts of tangents, people may get so fed up with my antics that they vote me out, thereby making me one less person for you to take on your way out.
But there must be rules. Rules!
Who will be the lucky winner of such an advantage if one is able to keep it past mid-game?
I will check my messages every ten minutes from this post. If I find a few people have PM with the message, "I request your services" (thereby not giving anything away). I will PM back the first person to send me a message and ask, "Do you accept my offer?" If they have changed their mind, I will move on to the next person.
But, if they do want my vote, they must PM me back stating so and inform me of what I can expect from them. i. e. mafia help, do as I say, you're going to be nuts!, etc. I will then make a post informing people "my services have been requested."
There is one word of caution though. If someone else, PM's me later with a better offer, I will switch loyalties. Howver, the person I was previously with will be informed who has made the new offer. If the offer is not better, then the person sending the new offer will be informed that their bid has failed. However, no information about the bid or bidder will be revealed, so no one else will know it ever happened.
So, with those pleasentries out of the way,
WHO WANTS ME, BABY?!!???!!?
