Mafia! Mafia! Mafia! Character Role Discussions

[Abs.]

^Well, if I wasn't leaving it to Random.org, I would totally have Akonyl be either BO or Araide (or BO disguised as Araide), and Kleene Anokata.

(Let's see if the above statements get you two lynched early next round.  )

[Akonyl]

Gimme Vermouth-Eri and we got a deal!

Should I let James Special Investigate Day actions?

[Kleene Onigiri]

Should I let James Special Investigate Day actions?

As long as he can still just do 1 investigation it should be fine I think. Since it's hard to choose then what to actually investigate in the end.

[Schillok]

Should I let James Special Investigate Day actions?

I would say: Keep it as close to normal investigations as possible. So only night actions (present and past ones).

[Abs.]

How's this look, then?

General rules
- If you play in this game with more than one username, both usernames will be banned from this and all future Mafia games that are GMed by Abs.  Since it is also against forum rules to have multiple accounts, at least one of the accounts will also be deleted.
- Don't ask the GM for information about other players' roles or try to influence moderator tasks (e.g. ask them to not give certain hints).  It is frowned upon.
- You may not copy/quote/screenshot etc. the PM from the GM to prove your role to someone else. But you can claim to be a role, whether it's your real role or not.
- You can PM people and post without restrictions (except the GM stuff, see above) when you are alive. If you choose to talk while dead (PM or otherwise), you must be careful that you don’t give anything away.  Don't ruin the spirit of the game.  When in doubt, refrain.
- You may fake/quote/edit other players PM, just not the GM ones.
- If you don't have time or you'll travel somewhere and can't play for some days or you want to quit the game completely, at least notify the GM.
- In case you can't play for a number of phases, you can make a list of actions (Day 2: Vote for Akonyl Night 3: Slander Kleene etc.) If you have allies from the beginning (BO, Lover, DB's or friends) you can give them the command over your character for those phases only by PMing the GM that your ally/allies can submit actions for you for those phases.  If the GM notices that you have not come online for a number of days without such a PM (for example in the case of natural disaster, death, etc.), it is up to the GM's discretion what happens to your character.
- If your PM confuses the GM, the GM will say, 'Whoops!' and smash it into a billion pieces.

Gameplay
- You have to PM the GM directly to vote/use your ability. Posting in the thread doesn't count. Multi-recipient PMs don’t count.
- If Vermouth and KID are in the same game and choose the same person to disguise as, they will both disguise as the same role and the targeted individual will get a new role.
- DB's (Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko), Friends (Sonoko + Best Friend), and Lovers will not overlap.
Order of actions
- If multiple incompatible actions are submitted by a player, the last one before time is up is the one that will go through.
- Arresting > Protection charm > APTX > Discombobulating > Killing > All other actions
Example 1a:
Akonyl) Arrest Abs. for killing Kleene on Night 1.  Investigate if pofa slandered conia.
Abs.) Kill Akonyl.
Result: Akonyl arrests Abs.  Abs. does not get to kill Akonyl.  Akonyl investigates if pofa slandered conia.
Example 1b:
Akonyl) Investigate if pofa slandered conia.
Abs.) Kill Akonyl.
Result: Abs. kills Akonyl.  Akonyl does not get investigation results.
Example 2: (Day 3)
Beastly) APTX pofa = Satou.
pofa) Arrest Beastly for killing Laurell on Night 2.
Result: pofa arrests Beastly.  Beastly does not get to use APTX on pofa.  APTX is confiscated. (See APTX under Day actions)

General definitions
GM = Game Master/Mistress
PM = Personal Message
Voting
Everyone can vote during the Day Phase, whether you're a Townsperson or a Mafia member.
Exceptions:
You're dead
You're not in Japan
You're arrested
You're dying (this is different from injured)
You were hindered by an ability (e.g. Tequila)
Each player’s vote is made public at the end of the Day phase, unless Voice of Reason or Protect is applicable.
Auto-Report
If a player investigates if another player committed a crime and the result comes back as TRUE, sometimes a random player with a police role will be tipped off that "(ROLE A) (crime) (ROLE B)."  The report will make sense, e.g. “1412 stole from Araide,â€

I have a question, about lovers and disguises.
Let's say Abs (Vermouth=Takagi) is a lover to Akonyl (Sato).
Will Akonyl (Sato) know that his lover is Vermouth? I would assume that she automatically knows.
Just want to make sure of this for future games.

Also, "Yumi's pairings will fail randomly", does this mean that some games won't have lovers?

Lastly, is there a reason why dreams were removed?

1) I think it was established somewhere that the lover opposite of someone in disguise will only know the lover for their disguise and not the disguiser.
2) This seems like it.
3) You should look at the previous page, Det. Tom. It was answered there.

[Abs.]

1.  Yes.  (It's only Sonoko that won't know the TRUE identity of her best friend.)
2.  Yes, that means that even if Yumi is in the game, it's possible to not have Lovers.
3.  What Rohoph said.

Okay, thanks.
I didn't really view the other post but I'll do it now.

how abou sherry and ai is 2 role.

so the bo must find out if she is sherry or Ai in that round

[Kleene Onigiri]

If you make it into sherry and ai, then sherry should be in the BO while ai is town ;p

just to make here a little bit safe from APTX.. so if the BO want to kill her... they must use 2 aptx or night killing ( with a protector chance)

This already may have been covered but I would like to see a B.O. member gaining the ability to prevent an arrest. For example, if Y knows X is going to be arrested for Z, they can send in that exact same command to the GM to have it prevented. This gives the B.O. room to operate in games with a high amount of officers while as opening the door for mind games. One B.O. suggest to a townie to arrest Z for X, the other with the ability prevents it, that leads to "OMG! Z IS B.O. I TRIEZ TO ARREST HIM BUT IT WAS THE STOPZ! LYNCH LYNCH!".

Even if you guys hate this idea, I would at least brainstorm on giving the B.O. some sort of protection against arrest or tone down Megure's house search ability.

Another thing to consider: Giving Vermouth the option to remove her disguise during the game. This creates more moves for the B.O. as she can cut off her tail to save herself. Z is leaning towards arresting X disguised as B. X removes B disguise previous phase and makes Z look silly.

P.S.- If some sort of prevent arrest ability is considered, I would give it to the sexy Vermouth as canon wise, she has done so.

[Abs.]

Hmm...  Removing the disguise.  I like that.

As far as Megure's House Search ability, it's already been toned down this round...  In as far as he's got to be pretty damned sure before he uses it.
