I'm out. Cabin time. No tresspassing or I will shoot.

Yes, I forgot to tell you all to clean out your socks as well, but it's no problem. I'll clean them out myself later this weekend. But feel free to delete any PMs and change the password back to "sock123" if you wish.

Now I really have to go, but I'll be back later today.

Please vote in the poll! The winner will be the next TV Sitcom game I submit into the Heist queue! And if you have suggestions or comments as to how to improve these Mafia Championship/Matrix-style games, I'm all ears.

...

wow

To be honest, 51.5% of me wants to know why Tom was let hanging in this game for four phases, having just voted once and posted like, what, two times? No replacement, no modkill. And now he botched the lylo. Feels great.

I was eventually bullzeye on all three of the mafia, with Llerry my only bad lead in the game. I, for one, claim success.

I had trouble finding replacements, and I had to replace him twice. DrWilgy absolutely begged me not to replace him after he missed two votes, so I let him have one more phase to prove himself, but he then asked to be replaced near the end of the next phase. Then I turned to Scotty because he was the only replacement I had left from before the game started (Epignosis was the other one), but he was stretched really thin as well so I asked a few other players to replace until eventually Golden agreed.

The Mafia have won the game!!!!

Congratulations to Donna Meagle (bea), Jean-Ralphio (BigDamnHero), and Chris Traeger (Spacedaisy)!!!! They are the winners of Parks and Recreation Mafia.

It is now Day 7.

Gameplay
1. Days are 48 hours. The thread will be open and all players should post.
2. Nights are 24 hours. The thread will be locked and all players cannot post.
3. All game conversation must take place in the thread unless you have specifically been given BTSC (see: Rules).
4. All votes must be cast in the poll to count. It is considered standard and good form to post at the time of your vote and indicate your vote with bold/underline. Your host would very much appreciate that you do this, so please do so, but it is not necessary for your vote to count.
5. All votes are changeable. You may change your vote as many times as you wish up until the vote's deadline.
6. All lynch ties will be decided randomly.
7. Roleplaying is heavily encouraged. As a group we will be awarding Best Roleplay to a player at the end of the game for best character roleplay. Parks and Recreation is a funny (and touching) show. Make your host and fellow players laugh (and cry)!
8. In addition to Best Roleplay, we will also be awarding MVP to a player at the end of the game for best in-game performance. Play your best! Impress your friends and your enemies!
9. All roles have been assigned randomly, and all characters have been assigned without consideration for role or alignment. Please note that this means evil characters in the show could be town and good characters in the show could be mafia. Character and alignment are not at all related.
10. If your faction wins, you win, regardless of whether you are dead or alive at endgame. Do your best! Fight for your faction's win condition. Players who fail to meet participation criteria (see: Participation) will be denied a win.
11. The Mod on Duty for this game is juliets. She is there for any of your questions or concerns not strictly related to game or role mechanics. Please PM her with any grievances or concerns you may have at any time, notably including conflicts with other players. Keep the thread fun and clean of emotionally-charged drama or conflicts; PM juliets instead. We want to keep this game as fun as possible for everyone.


Rules
1. Be respectful and remember that this is a game. Although mafia is a game of deception and can be rather heated, recognize that the game is not personal and that your friends may be lying to you in the spirit of the game. Please treat your fellow players with respect, even if you suspect or strongly disagree with them. If you are upset or in conflict with other player(s), don't be disrespectful to them and derail the game, instead contact the Mod on Duty, juliets.
2. No BTSC (Behind the Scenes Contact/Conversation) with anyone other than your specified BTSC partners.
3. No editing or deleting of posts.
4. Role outing of yourself and others, whether true or false, is permitted and encouraged. This includes statements such as "Dennis Feinstein is Mafia Goon", "I am the cop", etc. Dump any role-related information into the thread as you wish.
5. This is a sockpuppet game, which is meant to conceal the true identity of the users playing. Let's all keep in character and not turn the game of mafia into "guess who's under each sock in the thread!" or "tell me your true identity!"; that would be against the nature of the sockpuppet aspect of this game, so don't do it. If you have your suspicions as to who a player might be, keep them to yourself.
6. No self-voting, even as a placeholder. This is considered an illegal move in this game as much as voting for the non-player option. There is an "Unvote" option for a vote placeholder.
7. Dead players should not post on-topic and any posts made should be in dead red. There is a "dead" code for this function.
8. Off-topic posts should be in off-topic green. There is an "OT" code for this function.
9. Posts from non-players should be in non-player blue. There is a "np" code for this function.
10. This is MovingPictures07's host color. All of his host posts will be in this color. Don't use it!


Participation
The following behavior constitutes non-participation:
- If you do not post for more than 96 consecutive hours.
- If you do not cast a vote in 2 or more lynches.
If you meet either of these criteria, I will seek a replacement and forcibly replace you from the game. You also will be ineligible to win if your faction wins. If at any time you are afraid you cannot fulfill participation in this game due to any reason, please PM me immediately explaining your situation or requesting a replacement. Exceptions will be made for unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances.

Inspired by Thingyman's Matrix 12 setup for the Mafia Championship Season 3 on Mafia Universe, I have developed my own TV Sitcom Matrix (nicknamed the "What-If Machine" after the device in Futurama) for this series of games. Each game will use one (1) of the setups in the matrix, chosen randomly at the start of the game. The setup will not be revealed during the game.

Thus, there are 8 possible setups: 1, 2, 3, 4, A, B, C, and D.

Each setup specifies only 4 roles, so the remaining 11 roles will always be split between 9 vanilla townies and 2 mafia goons.

Each setup has exactly 3 non-vanilla roles, since that is the maximum per Heist rules.


Role Index:
1-Shot Town Vigilante - During one night of this player's choice, he or she may night kill any one player. One-time use.
Town Cop - Every night, this player selects a player of his or her choice to ID (alignment check).
Town Cop (Odd nights) - Every odd night, this player selects a player of his or her choice to ID (alignment check).
Town Cop w/ n0 town check - This player receives an alignment check on a randomly selected town player to start the game. Every night, this player selects a player of his or her choice to ID (alignment check).
Town Sick Innocent Child (d1-4 reveal) - This role will be confirmed by the host to be town publicly at the start of either day 1, 2, 3, or 4. However, that player will die at the start of the following day. At the start of the game, the host will randomize which of the four days will apply to the game; the role will be unaware of which day has been selected.
Town Jailkeeper - Every night, this player selects a player of his or her choice to both protect from all night kills and role block.
Town Masons (2) - These two roles have BTSC and may communicate privately outside of the game thread.
Town Miller - If targeted with an ID (alignment) check, this player will appear as mafia.
Vanilla Townie - This player has no role power.
1-Shot Mafia Vigilante - During one night of this player's choice, he or she may night kill any one player. One-time use.
Mafia Godfather - If targeted with an ID (alignment) check, this player will appear as town.
Mafia Goon - This player has no role power.
Mafia Jack of All Trades - This player has three one-time use role abilities; however, these abilities will differ based on the setup randomized. The abilities could be any of the following combinations.
Setup A: 1-shot roleblock, 1-shot silence, and 1-shot frame (targeted townie will appear mafia if ID'd by the cop that night).
Setup B: 1-shot roleblock, 1-shot protection, and 1-shot role cop.
Setup 1: 1-shot roleblock, 1-shot role cop, and 1-shot frame (targeted townie will appear mafia if ID'd by the cop that night).
Setup 2: 1-shot night kill, 1-shot role cop, and 1-shot silence.
