With all the talk lately about "Wii-makes" like the GameCube games getting Wii controls or ports of games appearing on the Wii, I figured that mafia should give this bandwagon a try and hope on. And perhaps no other game was labelled a "Wii-make" or port as much as Animal Crossing: City Folk. Fortunately, we also have an Animal Crossing game in our library and I plan on using it.
Best of all, with most of the story already written and most of the code already created, I have to do very little work to get this game made.
So, if you've played the game before and can't get enough, sign on up. And if you've never played the game before, sign on up. And if you have played the game before and were expecting more from the host to create a new experience and take advantage of the new hardware provided and are disappointed in what appears to be a lack of effort and lazy attitude towards making this game, shut-up. I mean, sign-up.
Story:
---------------------------------------------------
*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: Vale...Population: Diminishing
Let me introduce myself. I am the Mayor of Vale, Mayor Khushrenada. As you can see, Vale 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 Khushrenada
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now the prologue is out of the way, let me introduce you to the roles of the game!
Mayor Khushrenada - 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 Vale, 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, Feb. 9...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...
