Title: Earthbound Mafia Sign-ups! Sign-ups closed! Game has begun!
Post by: that Baby guy on September 24, 2009, 01:35:26 AM
Yup, Earthbound Mafia is coming up. Roles will be based off of Mother characters, and like my other mafia, Calvin and Hobbes Mafia, most players will have unique win-conditions that require them to play the game.
The plan is to begin Monday, about the stroke of midnight and what will make the game unique, in addition to the thriving number of win conditions is that every player will have some sort of ability based on an Earthbound character! I have not yet written up the abilities, but the plan is to post several possible roles as time passes, and then adjust them to the sign-ups. You'll receive your role, alliance, and win-conditions all within an hour after the game starts, as well, so it will actually begin before players know anything about themselves!
Each day will end at midnight, eastern time, and the subsequent day will begin as soon as the new day is posted with a complete list of the new dead players from the vote and the previous day's events.
Some Earthbound/Mother Characters:
Mother (Earthbound Zero) Smokey the Smoking Crow Ninten Ana Loid Teddy Pippy Hippie Zombie Gangster Giegue Mary Starman Jr Possessed Doll
Earthbound: Buzz Buzz Ness Jeff Paula Poo King Starman Jr. Starman Super Frank Frankystein Mark II Titanic Ant New Age Retro Hippie Crooked Cop Captain Strong Bag Lady Unassuming Local Guy Dali's Clock Giygas Pokey (Porky) Minch Lardna Minch Picky Minch Ness's Mother Tracy Dr. Andonauts. Teddy Bear Tony Master Barf Master Belch Mr. Saturn Bubble Monkey Tallah Rama Ness Nightmare Mani Mani Statue Monotoli The Invisable Man (Can't remember his description)
Mother 3 Lucas Claus Masked Man Flint Porky (Pokey Minch) Duster (aka Lucky) Kumatora (aka Daisy?) Boney Mole Cricket (Perfect for Khush :p) Frogs The Magypsies Porky Bots Lardna Minch bots Porky's Statue Ultimate Chimera Hinawa
There's more than that for each game, of course, but that's a pretty lengthy list, to be fair. If you want to know more, look 'em up.

This game will have Mother, Earthbound, and Mother 3 spoilers, including ending spoilers! If you plan to play the mafia game, and you would prefer to avoid this, let me now IMMEDIATELY, and do not read on!
In Mother and Earthbound, many of the main characters, like Ninten and Ness, Ana and Paula, and Loid and Jeff, have the same characteristics, and as such, they'll be one individual role, instead of one a piece. If you receive this role, you may choose your title from those available, and I'll delete the other one from the rules and roles thread.
Roles with "--->" means that their abilities and/or alliance changes as the game continues.
Abilities/Roles:
Grandfather's Legacy/Chosen One This character's votes count for double if he or she targets and evil player. He or she is a courageous player. It counts as two votes, and the second vote is as if this character used his ability on the player that was voted against. Automatic Day Action.
Helpless Tagalong Votes against this character count double, but if this player receives votes, he or she gets to snoop into my business, naming a player and learning who that player targeted during the same day/night that Helpless Tagalong received a vote. Despite being helpless, this player is courageous. Any vote protection will nullify one vote, but since Helpless Tagalong receives two votes, the protection won't protect from both. If the player doesn't direct actions, nothing will be learned. If the player directs more than one action, he or she learns all actions directed. Action occurs at night.
Weak Nerd --Night 1---> Inventor-Genius On Day One, this player does nothing. He/she will receive a list of random junk from me, and may choose to work through the night to fix an item, or use whichever items (Yes, more than one item can be choosen at a time, but he has to fix them, first!) The items can do one of the following: Block a vote against the player of his choosing Play a song Add a vote to the player of his/her choosing Send a message to all players Absorb the votes cast by any character or characters he/she chooses. This player is courageous Repairs occur over night. If no repair was performed the prior night, any and all items can be used during the day.
Psychic Friend/Psychic Child Prodigy This character can call out to people whom she/he has never met. The Psychic can send whatever message he or she likes to me, name a target, and I'll send a "PSYCHIC MESSAGE" from said player to this player. This character comes with a Teddy Bear, to absorb up to two votes, but this happens whether he or she needs the votes absorbed or not. Courageous. This action is due at 10 PM EST, rather than before the day is over!
Attractive, Psychic Royalty/Orphan Royalty A Pure character, despite "Gottin' it and Flauntin' it," this character can see whenever an ability is used on him or her. He/she learns the ability that targeted him/her, or all of the abilities, if more than one target him/her. Automatic action
Lonely Child -- Day 2--> Child of Pure Intentions Again, useless on the first day. On the second day, this child gains PSI Love, which can protect any friend he chooses from two votes. Day action.
Child's Companion, Dog Can sniff out where a player is currently allied, but not his or her actual role. This is a day action.
Reformed Gangleader --Night 3--> Influential Cultist The Gangleader starts out this game reformed! Yes, this time, he or she's good, but if the game lasts long enough, the evil Mani-Mani statue will influence him toward a greater evil, and he or she will become a Cult Leader! A Kelly Green, Hippie-type cult-leader, at that! As a Reformed Gangleader, he can send his minions to block one role's ability. To do so, he or she can send me a PM to tell me which ROLE will be blocked. The reformed Gangleader wins if all of the evil is defeated. This action occurs at night, and lasts throughout the proceeding day.
To transform, however, there must still be an evil player remaining, but the Cultist is allied on the evil side.
As a Cultist, he is allied with evil, and wins by killing the courageous. He can paint things green, making all players very confused, mixing up targets of a role of his choosing, making the target random. Additionally, he can inherit the ability to make a hit from the Embodiment of evil, should the game come to this rare point. This action occurs at night but lasts throughout the proceeding day.
Proud Child --Night 1--> Puppet of Selfishness On day one, this character is Good, but it's largely semantic. The only way this character can win on the Good side, is if he or she dies on that very first day. Otherwise, his role progresses to one allied with Selfishness. This play can fire a bolt of lightning, nullifying one vote AND one vote protection of a chosen player the following day. He transforms as long as Greed is still in the game after the first day, and his ability comes into effect immediately. Nullification of a vote protection delays one of the Pyschic Prodigies absorption for the next day, rather than removing it. This player's action occurs at night but affects the proceeding day.
Alien Invader/Embodiment of Evil Leader of the evil, this character knows all evil roles. He has a few abilities: He can send a message, through the host, to any player in the game, just like the psychic prodigy. He also directs hits on the first three nights, and continues on, should the greed leader die before then. Interestingly enough, he is able to witness who messages are directed to from the psychic prodigy, even before the messages are sent, but he cannot tell the content of the message. These actions occur at night.
Nosy Neighbor --> Evil's Brown Nose --> King Porker This Role changes, Nosy Neighbor on Day 1, Brown Nose on Day 2&3, King Porker for the rest of the game. This character is very interesting. On Day one, he is able to peek in and see which characters have evil and greedy tendencies, allied with both.. On day 2 and 3, he's allied with Greed, and can restore an evil or greedy player BACK INTO THE GAME, but only one each day. This player will be known to everyone, and still has his or her abilities, but can be voted out, like any other player in the game. On Day 4, this character becomes the official leader of the Greed faction, and can call the nightly hits. These are Day abilities, except for the hit, and can be performed immediately in the game, unless he or she has been blocked!
The Embodiment of Evil and the Cultist are winners if all courageous players die before the game is over. The courageous players win if all the evil players die before the game is over.
The Greedy players win if all the Pure players are killed, while the pure players are victorious when all the greedy players die.
The game will not end until all of the Good or all of the evil are dead, unless there is a no-lose scenario present for either side.
--A note: Certain abilities will have prerequisites or transform over time. This isn't entirely a new concept, but make sure you understand it. In some cases, the requirement might just be to survive to a certain day, in others, you might have to do something a bit more specific. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

You've missed out! You can be a vampire or we can pick a character for you, it's up to you. There is a bat enemy called Mr. Batty, so you could be a Mrs. Batty, too, like Mop_it_up said. That could work. Someone could photoshop a pink ribbon on it, perhaps.

Any chance of this game being Halloween themed and taking place in Threed?

Nope, but a day could easily be Halloween themed and occur in Threed.

Can someone find a list all of the characters in the game? I,like GP, haven't played Earthbound so I am not sure of enemies. Also what are the hours of play going to be?

Good Question and stuff :) It'll be 12:00am Eastern Time to Midnight, with the polls closing exactly at 12:00, and any change or edit after it strictly against the rules. I'll come up with a list of Earthbound characters for the first post, it won't be complete, just ones off the top of my head.

There's too many to list without copy/pasting from somewhere else and why would I wanna go thru all that work?
I'm sure this site has EVERYTHING Earthbound related (http://www.starmen.net)

Looks like it's going to be a small game--only ten people have signed up so far.

Post by: that Baby guy on September 25, 2009, 05:29:10 PM
I was expecting something smaller, vudu. You know, short sign-up time, interesting concept, and involved game play = low sign-ups, high turn out, so I'm not phased by that. I might send out some PMs on Saturday, depending on who I see is missing.

As far as I know you two like quirky games so Earthbound would be right up your alley. Unfortunately the original cartridge is awfully expensive, and it doesn't look like there will be a VC release. Still, it is worth it!

I'm about to put the finishing touches on the roles, and once the game begins, I'll be sure of the numbers, put on balancing touches, and send out the roles.
A little more detailed: There'll be two sides, Good and Bad, on four total alliances: Courageous and Pure on the Good, and Greedy and Evil for bad. I'll explain it more clearly once the game begins, but in most cases, Greedy and Evil know each other, while Pure and Courageous characters will have to find each other. We'll have to see what happens.
As of now, there are only 11 players, if ShyGuy is in: ShyGuy EasyCure Maxi stevey Khush Dasmos decoyman vudu nickmitch Mop_it_up GoldenPhoenix
Hopefully one or two more will sign up at the last minute, it'll make my ideas a little simpler.

Nope, but votes can definitely be mixed around, and every single character will have a role! I know! Crazy!
Given the make-up of the players, along with the roll-mania, hopefully everyone will play, right?
Edit: The preliminary, un-edited role-set for 11 players is up. Changes will be made if more people sign up in the next half-hour.
