The Syndicate

Back in my day, computer games were powered by wit, charm, and 256 colors. None of your fancy special effects! So it brings me great pleasure to present Monkey Island Mafia, themed after the best game of them all.

A note on timing: Days will be 48 hours and nights will be 24 hours. Due to my schedule, I would like to make the host posts in late afternoon Eastern Time. That will avoid me having to extend days and allow me to be consistent. I realize this time may not be convenient for everyone, so votes in lynch polls will not be changeable in order to prevent last minute monkeyshines that disadvantage people who are not available when the poll ends.

There are 22 roles, and priority will be given to those who signed up for Full Metal Alchemist.

Roles:
Civilians: Kill LeChuck, Bob, and the Cannibals.

Guybrush Threepwood - Our hero, a would-be pirate who finds himself having to thwart LeChuck in order to save his love. He searches for a crew member each night and is told if he finds one.


Elaine Marley - Governor of Melee Island and Guybrush's love interest.. Can role block once per night and starts with 10 pieces of eight.


Stan - Owner of Stan's Previously Owned Vessels and a shameless con man. Buys items at half price, or offer players 2 pieces of eight for an item which they must trade to him. Starts with 10 pieces of eight.


Meathook - A lonely, disfigured freak who lives on Melee Island. Can make his tattoo talk to reveal information, sometimes things he didn't even know himself. A member of Guybrush's crew.


Carla - The sword master of Melee Island. Can pick a swordfight with anyone each night, with a ⅔ chance of neutralizing their vote, ⅓ chance her vote is neutralized. A member of Guybrush's crew.


Otis - A common criminal imprisoned on Melee Island. Can steal one item from any player each night. A member of Guybrush's crew.


Herman Toothrot - A sailor who was marooned on Monkey Island years ago, and has gone a little mad. Searches for a cannibal each night. If he finds one he gets his banana picker back, which he can use to pick bananas.


Fettuccine Brothers (2) - Circus performers working on Melee Island. Have BTSC with one another.


The Lookout - Keeps watch over Melee Island, but is blind as a bat. Sees something untrue every night.


The Store Keeper - Runs a general store on Melee Island. Three times in the game will have the ability to distribute a sword, a shovel and breath mints to other players.


Voodoo Woman - Mysterious woman who knows about voodoo and stuff. Once in the game can see into the future. Once in the game can make a voodoo doll, which can then be used to add lynch votes to that person or make them speak in tongues.


The Cook - Makes the food at the Scumm Bar. Can give grog to people each night.


Captain Smirk - The sword trainer on Melee Island. Can protect one player each night.


Three-Headed Monkey - He's right behind you! Creates a distraction, preventing a player from voting. Bananas work double for him.


Head of the Navigator - The head of a famous navigator knows the way to LeChuck's ship. Has a necklace that makes him invisible to ghosts. Cannot be NKed by LeChuck or Bob, but this necklace can be stolen. Can also search for Pirates and is told if he finds one.

Pirates [BTSC]: Kill the Civilians.

LeChuck - The infamous ghost pirate. Kills nightly.


Bob - LeChuck's undead lieutenant. May role check a dead player each night.


Men of Low Moral Fibre - Pretty shady characters.


Pirate Leaders - In the know about all things piratical on Melee Island.

indies (BTSC):

The Cannibals (3) - Just want to be left alone on Monkey Island. They kill nightly and win if both other teams are dead (with the exception of Herman Toothrot, the Head of the Navigator and the Three Headed Monkey, whom they can tolerate.)

Items:

Bananas - Remove one lynch vote from player of your choice


Grog - Add one lynch vote to player of your choice

The above each cost 4 pieces of eight.


Sword - Gives the same power as Carla, and reduces her odds against you to fifty-fifty.


Breath Mints - The player who uses them is immune from grog for the rest of the game.


Shovel - Can be used in lieu of night action to gain 20 pieces of eight, once only.

These items can only be given out by the Store Keeper.

I am SO IN. That is, of course, taking one of the non-reserved spots since I wasn't signed up for Fullmetal.

I literally cannot miss this, so in.

IN all the way.

In, to the hilt!

Hey, good to see you LC!

Also, pretty stoked that Golden is taking a baby-break to play this too. And always stoked be playing with zebra. And llama is hosting and I'll actually have time to play his game this time! I'm already stoked.

Come on FMAB folks, get over here already!

I think this calls for a negative-option form of signups... as in, everyone who was signed up or FMAB shall be considered 'in' unless they select the 'No' option.

I'm not going to auto-sign up people from FMAB. That way lies inactivity. They will have slots if they want them, but they have to ask.

sign me up buddeeee

I'll take this as an excuse to watch a play through of this game or something before this starts.

Screw it, I'm jumping in. Monkeys are fun!

I'm up for some...monkeying around

Woo! Almost halfway! Let's get this thing rolling.

Meet me halfway.

alright I'm in on this one.

Games plz

This game needs a MoD. I'll be the MoD. Hi guys.

I'm selling these fine leather jackets

Woo! Let's get this thing filled, I'm stoked.

You can't hide from me forever mp... No one can...

Sorry. I can no longer play this game.

I'm still on the players list and I think I'm semi-functional so I might as well go back to Yes.

I love this game (monkey island, not mafia) in an erotic way.

Alright. MP talked me into playing so I am in!

In!

So close...

And yet... so far.

Welcome to The Syndicate!!!

What do we need now, 4 more players? Let's do this and get this game started ASAP. Ask your friends. I'm going to try to recruit now myself.

4 more players kthxbai

Seriously, my schedule has opened up after my big paper presentation tomorrow morning, and I'm not in any mafia games. I'm really going to want some games to play over the next month because it's the least busy I will be this entire year and for quite some time thereafter. Let's get this thing going.

'm going to give BWT the Head of the Navigator role for beating me in Election Night Mafia. Then we will be able to drop kick him into some lava.

Well isn't that just the nicest thing from you?!

But if I get to pick a role for winning Election Night Mafia, I want Carla. I like the idea of having awesome swordplay skills.

I thought about signing up for Fullmetal Alchemist. Does that give me priority?

Only 2 more!!!!!!!

I'm unofficially ABD (all but dissertation) now, so I want to play mafia again sooner rather than later.

Totally. I'm so uninterested in this game.

I'm in, but finals are approaching so I might be semi inactive at times.

Woo!! Just 1 more!

Good to see you, sig.

Hey gang, I had intended to cut two roles and start today, but time got away from me. Now I see I need to cut only one role. Let me think about who it will be, and I promise we will start tomorrow!
