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.
Signed up player so far
Sign ups so far: 31

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".

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.

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.

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

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.

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.)

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.

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?

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

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.

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.
Post by: 18 Days on January 02, 2007, 04:46:40 PM
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

Post by: 18 Days on January 02, 2007, 05:35:30 PM
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.
