NWR Mafia Games / Mafia LXXXVI: Luigi's Mafia Mansion. Rules and Roles Thread.
« on: October 04, 2021, 11:42:33 PM »The Rules
Voting
- Every player is allowed to post a vote against whomever they would like to eliminate that day.
- Every player is only allowed one vote that will count in the daily tally unless there is a specific role or ability that allows them multiple votes.
- You can change your vote multiple times throughout a Game Day.
- If you want your vote to count then it must show the words Vote and the player’s name in bold. Example: Vote Bill Aurion
- If you want to change your vote then add the “un” prefix to the front of the word Vote and unbold the text. Example: un-vote Bill Aurion
- If a player has not correctly followed the un-vote procedure then their new vote will not be vaild until it is corrected. Example: a player unbolded their previous vote of “Vote Khushrenada” and then posted Vote Bill Aurion. Even though it was unbolded, the un was not added to the word vote so neither the old vote nor the new vote are valid.
- Once the deadline for the Game Day is reached and the thread is locked then all the player’s votes are locked in and cannot be changed.
Win Conditions
Townies: Must remove all the Boo Mafia members as well as Luigi and Gooigi from the game.
Mafia:Must have the Dark Moon crystal in their possession and Luigi and Gooigi must be eliminated from the game. They do not need to eliminate all the townies but can win by equaling or exceeding the amount of townies left in the game provided they meet the above win conditions.
Luigi/Gooigi: They must eliminate all the other players including their opposite half and be in possession of the Dark Moon crystal. However, Luigi or Gooigi can fast track themselves to a quicker victory by gaining possession of the Dark Moon crystal at any point in the game and then being able to hold onto it through one Day and Night cycle.
Majority Vote Rule
Each game day can last a maximum of 36 - 48 hours depending on what the host selects for that day.
The maximum day length period will be mentioned each day in the Announcements post for that Day’s Thread.
Game Days can end sooner if the player’s reach a majority vote and it stays unchanged for 90 minutes. Example: Let's imagine there are 16 players and 9 players vote Player A, 3 vote for Player B and 1 votes for Player C. In this case, Player A would be voted out provided there's no change in Player A's vote total in the 90 minutes starting from when the 9th vote was cast making the vote a majority vote. The day would end after the 90 minutes wait even if there was still hours to go in the maximum day period.
In the case of 16 players, 9 votes is the majority. Even if other players hadn't voted yet, it doesn't matter since all the remaining votes combined could only equal 7 which is a minority vote. I will post a reminder of the number of votes needed to reach a majority each day in the Announcements post for that Game Day.
If the Majority Vote Changes After The Countdown Begins
Let's say that the 9th vote was cast for Player A but an hour later, the 7th person to vote Player A decides to change their vote from Player A to Player B. However, 20 minutes after that change, another player logs on and votes for Player A restoring the 9 votes against Player A. In this example, Player A would not be eliminated in 10 minutes from the new 9th vote. The majority vote was lost in between that 90 minute wait period. Even though the majority was restored within that first initial 90 minute wait period, a new 90 minute wait period starts from when the new 9th vote cast.
Likewise, let’s say in the above scenario that the 7th player to vote Player A changes their vote an hour into the Majority Vote countdown to Player B. But then 15 minutes later decides to change their vote back to Player A. Player A would not be eliminated in 15 minutes with the restored majority. The Majority Vote had been broken and the countdown must start anew even though it had been restored to its original form in this example.
If a Majority Vote Is Not Achieved
If a majority vote isn't reached before 48 hours is up then whoever has the most votes at the end of the Game Day voting period is the one voted out. So, if the votes are 6 for Player A, 5 for Player B, and 3 for Player C, then Player A is voted out because of having the highest vote total even though 2 players didn't vote and could have put Player B in a higher vote total but did not do so before the voting time had ended.
The "No Vote" Option
In this game, players can choose to make their vote to not eliminate anyone. Simply type No Vote in bold like you would as if you were selecting a player to vote out. Players can choose to achieve a majority with the No Vote option if they want to. In this case, no player would be eliminated from the vote that day. However, players with roles would still be able to use their abilities. In addition, if a majority vote for No Vote is not reached but No Vote has the highest number of votes at the end of the voting period then no player would be eliminated. In an odd twist, if the day ends in a tie between one player and a No Vote option then the No Vote will not count and there would not be a tiebreaker. The player who tied with the No Vote tally will be eliminated. If two or more players tie the No Vote total at the end of the day then there would be a tiebreaker.
Voting Tiebreaker
If, at the end of the voting period, the result is a tie then the player with the Hellen Gravely role controls the outcome. I suggest you read up on all roles but to briefly outline it here.
Hellen Gravely can choose to either:
- Option 1: Eliminate one of the tied players
- Option 2: Choose to not eliminate anyone.
- Option 3: Consider the whole day's vote as null and void for not selecting a single choice and eliminate any remaining player they choose instead.
It is entirely their decision how they wish to resolve it and which option they'd like to choose. This tiebreaking ability/role can also be captured by Luigi or Gooigi during the game making the player who then controls it the new tiebreaker. If Hellen Gravely is eliminated and neither Luigi or Gooigi gain control of it then the tiebreak will be handled by the host. In that situation, all players will be up for a possible elimination along with the option that no one gets eliminated and it will be a random draw as to the result.
Resolving Orders
I see the game as divided by its Day and Night sections. If a player with an ability is voted out during the day portion then they should not be able to use their ability at night since they were unable to reach that portion by being eliminated in the day. For example, if Luigi is voted out during the day then that player could not make a hit that night if it had been available to them.
Ah, now that's got pretty good and leaves things open ended for me to come up with dumb eliminations. I can sense I'll probably still be challenged with quickly figuring out a musical disaster when it is time to eliminate a player but I'll just have to do the best I can when those bomb words hit.
My name is Treize Khushrenada. You may be familiar with me on these forums as that poster who irregularly posts topics for the day or the poster most suspected of possibly having a second account on this forum. (I'll never tell. 
)
How about you?
