Topic: MAFIA 13: Nintendo World Mafia - Signup

[18 Days]

Nintendo World Mafia

Planet Gamecube is in turmoil! Following the hotly debated and highly controversial name change to Nintendo World Report and uprising in the forums occurred! Disenchantment with Fusetalk had long been high but the most recent staff shakeup along with the complete lack of updates to an aging forum system saw it boil over. A malicious hacker amoung the NWR population took advantage of the many bugs and security holes in Fusetalk and destroyed the forum! Within hours, Ty uploaded his own laugho anonymas, stripped back version of the board. Turf wars soon broke out on the new forums and different groups emerged, struggling to take control and run this brave new forum.


----NWR Staffers----
Struggling to maintain control of their VERY OWN FORUM, NWR has it's own internal turmoils to take care of due to the latest staff shakeup.
Mafia A

Steven 'WindyMan' Rodriguez
Steven is mad! He's taken it upon himself to return order to the forum, stripping his shifty fellow staffers of ban powers! Steven is calling the shots and he's suspicious of his fellow staffers. He still commands their respect though and they will follow his orders while he researches their motives in his spare time.
Mafia Godfather, calls all the shots and assigns goons to do the kills. Investigates on non killing nights. Unlike regular Godfathers, will be revealed as a mobster if investigated, but not identified as the Godfather.

Mike 'Pale' Gamin
A new recruit to the NWR staff, Pale is still sympathetic to the cause of his old friends in the forum. With his trusty green bucket hat for disguise he is familiar to all.
Mafia turncoat, free to choose where his alliegence lies. Identified as Mafia by Mafia investigations and as a Townie to the Cop

Loyal Staffers
Jeff 'Deguello' Shirley, Stan 'Pryopizm' Ferguson and Michael 'TYP' Cole
Just regular mobster goons, loyal to the cause.


----Funhouse Residents----
Taking over the board and having far to great an influence on the site are the poster from the Funhouse. They will berate, troll and flame their opponents till their opponent gives up and leaves forever.
The other Mafia

18 Days/RABicle
With the Funhouse named after him in April. And then the sex changed alter ego being declared the Funhouse Princess months later, 18 Days has risen to the top of the Funhouse rabble and calls the shots to what she believes are her loyal underlings.
Funhouse Mafia Godmother ;p Same as her counterpart

Funhouse Pietriots
Mario, Shift-Key and Khushrenada
Mobster goons

Bill Aurion
Bill enjoys the Funhouse but he's never really felt at home there, preferring the more serious and less stupid game discussion the rest of the board offers. As the drama unfolds, Bill will have to choose where his loyalties lie.
Mafia turncoat, same as his counterpart


----Ty 'S-U-P-E-R' Shugart----
Ty is a long time staffer and the founder of the Funhouse. Unfortunately for him a series of Funhouse name changes and him moving to Japan sees his influence in both circles wane. A situation his loud and extravagent personality is unhappy with.
Ty is a Mafia DOUBLE AGENT. He is a listed member of both Mafias. He must loyally follow the kil instructions of either godfather but he is free to choose his own loyalty. Is revealed as being the double agent to the Townie Cop but not the Godfathers.


----Forum Members----
The undifferentiated mass of the forums are the real victims of the power struggle. They long for a return to the tranquility of the old forums where they can happily gloa about DS sales figures and laugh at Sony. Through the power of the ballot, they have their last chance to rid the forum of militant jerks who are trying to run it.
townies

PIAC / Dr Zoidberg
PIAC loves the forums and is one of the most prolific posters in it's history. He also loves women with diarhea and wants to share this interest with the board. Doing so will see him banned and then brought back by a renegade admin as a moderator, unleashing Dr Zoidberg. Dr Zoidberg acts without prejudice, banning and harassing members as much as he likes.
PIAC is a regular townie until killed. After being killed Dr Zoidberg gets one kill every night and is exempt from voting requirements. Killing Dr Zoidberg is done through the regular procedures.

Ian Sane
Ian Sane has been around the block a million times and wont ever shut up. Ian can just drop his thoughts on the whole debacle every day, free for it to be ignored, agreed with or ridiculed by his contemporaries.
Gossiper. Each day, Ian send me one message. It can be anything to do with anything. I will work it into the next days story post.

animecyberat/segagamer12
This ambitious young man has many grand ideas and thoughts. Unfortunately he is also a deluded fool. As the drama unfolds, our resident Lindsay Lohan fan takes it upon himself to discover as much about his contemporaries as he can.
Village Idiot. Every day he will investigate a player. The information he receives will always be wrong. However, Mafia turncoats will be revealed as Mafia to him.

vudu
A gifted member with an exception lie detector. Through careful study of those close to him, he instinctively learns their true identities.
Town cop in the most traditional sense.

IceCold
IceCold had always been well liked and well known on the forum but few knew the meaning behind his Username. Turns out it was a description of his heart. IceCold isn't taking any crap from staff or the funhouse and is after all of them.
Vigilante. In a slight modification, will not take his own life until he kills two innocents.

wandering
This self destructive member has just had enough of PGC NWR or whatever it's called, he hates the staff, the other members and himself.
Suicide Bomber. If he kills himself, he kills more people the earlier in the game, max of 5, minimun of 2. Kills anyone who kills him. If voted out, kills the last two people who voted for him.

Infernal Monkey
Mr popular of Gamingforce is unhappy that he gets no respect at NWR, especially from that animecyberate bloke. He craves power and hopes to get it through taking out that whore 18 Days.
Assasin. Can only kill 18 Days. If he succedes, takes control of the Funhouse Mafia. If he fails, he dies. The action takes place immediately. If I get the PM halfway through voting, the death will occur then.

Billy Berghammer
Every day, Billy's soul is eroded more by the evil of Game Informer. He still cries himself to sleep over the Paper Mario debacle. When he receives word of the anarchy at his old site, he has an epiphany. If he can remove NWR's current leader, he can take back control of his old site and along with it his own happiness.
Assasin, but can only target Steven Rodriguez

Professional666
This prominant forum member has been known to change people's minds with a barrage of Daisy pics and Ada Wong videos.
Town Whore, changes one person's vote before the execution.


Despite some of the more obtuse roles, it's vanilla flavoured Mafia. NWR Staff strike first, Funhouse investigate first. 12 hour days, 12 hour nights. Days start at 8am New York Time. The result of the vote is final and the player dies immediately, ties result in all tied players dieing.

There are however a few secret abilities of some roles. None of them are gamebreaking and they'll be explained to whoever get's the role.
All roles will be determined randomly, name out of a hat. It is possible for a player to be assigned a role name after himself but it's not likely. Don't think too much about the names.

Signup open from now until January 3rd. Roles go out on the 4th/5th, Game Starts on the 7th.

[Mario]

Signing up

[Spak-Spang]

Signing up for another round.  Or as Alf might say.

HA, I Kill me.  

[Dasmos]

Sounds like the best Mafia game probably ever. SIGNING UP!

[NWR_DrewMG]

Wow.  This is gonna get kind of confusing, especially if you're new around here and don't know people well enough to play as them.  

But, I'm in.  Sounds fun.

[Ceric]

I thought I was the most prolific poster... ;P

Signing up but I don't know how active I'll be.  I'll soon be losing internet.

[ShyGuy]

Needs more Stevey. I'm in.

[18 Days]

Yeah I was trying to think of a role for him. If it gets big enough I'll start including extra townie roles, I thought of one based off Pro.

[Pale]

I'm in.  I want to be myself!

Also, I'm confused on the 12 hour days 12 hour nights thing?  So if days start at 8am, does voting close at 8pm?

[WindyMan]

I too am signing up in hopes to be me.

If not, that means I have two chances to win!

Mafia 13 is here at last! Much like Final Fantasy, togethor we can bury the memory of 11 and 12 and make 13 as good as it can be!

Let's face it: All of the mafias, and final fantasies, that came after III (VI in Japan) have sucked.

But I'm in, as "Smoke39".  

[Zach]

in

[Artimus]

I'm in! But if someone could explain how this works that would be good too...

[Bill Aurion]

Oh man, I got a role named after me...I guess I feel obligated to join in now!

[Athrun Zala]

ROFLMAO!!!

so awesome! so IN!

[MaryJane]

I didn't read the post yet, but I want to play, life outside of Wii is getting boring.

[nickmitch]

So, IN.

In theory yes. However for me to post at 8pm New York Time I would have to be out of bed at 7am. Today I woke up at 10:20 because the phone rang. So we'll see.

OK. It's called mafia, it's a forum game. Each day, everyone has a public vote to try and rat out the Mafia members. Each night one of the mafias kill someone. The Mafia members account for a minority of players, but the advantage they have is that know each other, while the townies, the good guys do not. That is how it works at it's most basic level.

[stevey]

[vudu]

I haven't read the rules yet, but I don't want to miss out on two mafias in a row; I'm in.

[Kairon]

Sounds sweet.

I see Power!
I see Pride!
I see a [edited for tv] JUNIOR [/edited for tv] who won't take [edited for tv]*silent pause*[/edited for tv] from nobody!

But the lack of any mention of Loli Bill makes me one sad puppy.

COOOOOOOOOLLL RUNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGSSSS!!!!

[Khushrenada]

Don't feel bad about not being in Mafia 12 Vudu. In fact, you should be happy. There's a reason no one talks about Mafia 12. One day Mafia. Kinda sad.


Alright! Kairon joined. Will Requiem soon follow?



Just a warning to 18 Days. Expect at least 25 people to sign up. I really think this will be a big game. In fact, it might even surpass Mafia X for most people signed up. I sent a whole bunch of invites for the Funhouse mafia. (Come to think of it. This theme sounds a bit similar.) Since sign-up time was so short, I also let people know about your game coming up. There was a lot of interest in your game. I think you may get 28 people at least.



What? I didn't get a mafia character named after me? This is outrageous. I have 490 posts at least. How could I have been neglected? I mean, yeah, it's true that for some reson you were killed on day one in both mafia games I hosted but I didn't tell anyone to do that. It's not my fault. I support you.


And the village idiot? That's the only surviving role from Mafia X? I truly have left a sad legacy on the game.


Oh, yeah. I'm signing-up. Now let's see. Have I whined enough? Hmmmm. Oh I know! Can we get a list to see how many have signed up?




















Of course, a role with my name should be one that results in crazy shenanigians because, for some unknown reason, something always seems to go crazy once I'm involved in it.  

[MattVDB]

I regrettably have to decline to the invitation I received to this game.  I'm moving in the next week here and I really don't have time to get in on this.  I'll ask my brother to play, because it really does sound like a lot of fun.  Good luck everyone.

[MysticGohan]

I'm up for it You know I'm loved!

[18 Days]

Well everyone who's sigged up so far is on the list. Also, for added lols, Townies who do not recieve a role will still be given a name of another PGC memebr that for teh purposes of the game they will be. I might include former memebrs and people who never post in the funhouse in that list so who knows! Maybe you can roleplay your posts in the style of that member or adopt their avatar for a joke. Also decided on the names of the Mobster goons for lol.  

[TheYoungerPlumber]

This is going to be very confusing, unless we say clarify with "the REAL Windy" and "Windy the role".  Anyway, I'm in.  Even though TYP gets no love.

[ShyGuy]

Oooh. I hope I get somebody good. Might I suggest:

Noble~Feather
Gamebasher
nemo_83
VgRevolution
RickPowers
theRat (the new one, he's already making his mark)
please_let_me_in
Tommy Tallarico
Rabicle (boy, we all sure miss him)
King_Admin
Cattank (bring on the awesome)
Wanc LeRing

[18 Days]

all good suggestions. I had shortlisted mmouseclicker, MsPikmin, Smash_brother, KDR, Zach Adams (unless Zach is the same person but I doubt it) HostilCreation, Termin8Anakin, The Perm, Arbok, NonJagged, UncleBob

Also just about to add another townie role. It's basically just the town whore but I'm naming it after Pro666

You and me both, brother.

Signing up anyway. I'll be hanging out for a mention in the storyline or something.

But then everyone will know who has a role and who doesn't...

[Shift Key]

No they won't. You'll know the roles but not the people attached to them. They'll just be "NWR Member Name 1" and "NWR Member Name 2" were scheming, when the story comes out.

Its like Cluedo, only fun because you don't need evidence to accuse people. Hell, I lived in the accusing parlour in the last game. Bandwagoning votes is awesome.

[18 Days]

No not quite. You'll still be a generic townie, you'll just have a name. Someone else's name. I'll talk about that name int he story when you die.

[Shift Key]

Get on MSN Rab. I need to deride your choice of Mafia players. Stat!

[wandering]

So, the name isn't public? But you said you could roleplay as the poster you were assigned...?

I'd prefer it if it were like previous mafia games, where everyone was assigned a character that they could play as. So, for example, I could secretly be wandering (the evil bomber), but publicly be Smoke39 (the evil yaoi-obsessed forum poster.)

"fun" is not the word I'd use to describe mindless bandwagoning...

[18 Days]

But if you want to ropleplay UncleBob then yes, people would know you're a townie. Which I'm pretty sure is what everyone wants people to think of them.

[oohhboy]

Sign me up boys. 'bout time I joined up.

Mindless is far from what it was. People who aren't sure who to vote for each night can be easily swayed. It doesn't even need to be rational.

[18 Days]

I'm hopeing my Suicide Bomber Varient is enough to both encourage early voting and discourage bandwagoning.

[Khushrenada]

It's hard to say. That's why I used timebombs. As an extra way to try and quell bandwagon voting. It didn't seem to have any real affect but it did provide one of the best plays in the game when Pale used Athrun to kill Deguello and kill two birds with one stone.


Awesome. I do have a role. A funhouse mafia goon. That seems about right.


And 24 people already. Plus, there's still people like Decoyman, Garnee, Blackfootsteps and Nuclearspeed who haven't signed up yet. Yes, this has a very good chance of being the biggest mafia game yet. The question is, will you get 11 more people to sign up?

[Sir_Stabbalot]

I'm in.

[Zach]

How come I only get a mention when you post about someone with a similar name?
And no, I am definately not Zach Adams.

Edit: I usually have my avatar match the Mafia theme, so I put a picture of me up.

[18 Days]

Because I've alwyas suspected you were the same person but obviously not. I probably wont include Zach Adams as a random townie name because as far as ex members go he's obscure.

[NWR_DrewMG]

Sadly, I will need to withdrawl my name from the running.  They blocked NWR at work, so it would be hard for me to play.

[18 Days]

Get a new job or better yet quit. (Oh well)

[Crimm]

I'm in.

[Garnee]

This looks to be the best mafia ever!  Signup get!

[S-U-P-E-R]

Oh god oh god oh god oh god

Signing up :3

[18 Days]

Good to have you three on board.

[segagamer12]

im in

[18 Days]

Well that's pretty much all the usual suspects signed up. Signup will still be open for another 4 days to pick up any stragglers enjoyinbg holidays or anyone new whow ants to join.

[blackfootsteps]

Would love to play but I'm going away on the 10th. Enjoy the game lads, looks like a ripper.

[Svevan]

I'm boycotting.

[18 Days]

Valid reason please.

[Pryopizm]

Stan is in.

[Pale]

Svevan is probably boycotting because he doesn't have a character!

Edit: Nevermind, you gave him one...

I have no idea.

[ShyGuy]

Yay! vote Pryo  

[NuclearSpeed]

just read the starting date, so I will have the time to play, so signing up for me.

[18 Days]

Quick update. First up: Singup is only open for 36 more hours. So hurry up if you still want to play.
Also due to the high number of singups and that I want to avoid draggin the game on for too long, I've added IceCold as a vigilante. I'm also tempted to add another goon to each mafia side. While this might just unbalance the game slightly I dont want too many people missing out on a role of some sort. For those still reading this thread, tell me what you would think of that.

[Requiem]

I'm in. I don't know how to play, but that hasn't stopped me before.

[Khushrenada]

Well, I'll consider this an invitation for my opinion. And my opinion is yes. Add an extra goon to the mafias. From what I can tell, one mafia member is working for the townies in each mafia and they both share a mafia member. So, give the mafia's more of a chance. Or if you're looking to speed up the game, add a killer that can kill anyone and not just a vigilante. It's always fun just to be a rogue.

Look at the numbers. You have 30 people. There are currently 9 mafia members. Plus, with the bomber, you have basically two thirds townies and townie roles. So, make it 12/18. One mafia is going to get screwed anyways with the double agent and mafia working for the townies. Plus, the townies will increase if anyone else happens to sign up in time. Or add the killer. Or give the bomber greater power.

But what do I know? I created the politician role and that worked out splendidly.

[18 Days]

Well there is the Dr Zoidberg role, the killer who kills after they die. We'll see how that goes. I've also upped the number of kills the suicide bomber gets.

And looks like Requiem has signed up, and I feel pretty comfortable with 11 mafia goons running with 20 townies. So yeah, EXTRA GOON GUYS! Now just gotta name them :p

[Requiem]

So I tried to decipher how to play the game from Khushrenada's post, but I ended up having a seisure....

ya...

that sh!t was confusing as hell....

[18 Days]

It's fairly straightforward.

During the daytime. Thre isa  thread where everyone votes out suspected mafia members. During the night the mafia kill someone.

It only get's more complicated if you are one of the roles, like if you're the cop you have to investigate someone every night. If your in the Mafia you have to try and act innocent. If you get assigned a role (you'll know ina  couple of days) just refer to it's description in this thread.

[Svevan]

My boycott has failed. What's the deadline? I might join.

[18 Days]

Deadline is like... 12 hours from now maybe.

I like how you changed your mind after I renamed the role named after you to naming it after TYP.

If you want another serial killer, I'd be honored to lend my name to the part of the kneecap-collecting psycho.
