Battle of the Bands Mafia

This is the Battle of the Bands Mafia.
During the Day phase, you will vote on the person you want to be eliminated. You will also submit via PM to me one Youtube / bandcamp / soundcloud / etc. link in the event that you are put into the Battle of the Bands showdown. You do not have to change links if you are not nominated (i.e., up for elimination). There is also a strict rule against identifying or hinting about what your possible track is or isn't, as that goes against the spirit of the competition.
The top two (or three or four, etc.) will go into the Night round. They must participate in the Battle of the Bands. Anyone nominated who failed to send a playable link will be eliminated by default. During the Night phase, the nominated players will be restricted from posting (because you're performing, duh!). The audience will discuss and vote on the music (a vote means, "I like this track and want this person to stick around"). When the Night is over, the loser will be eliminated. The winner(s) will receive a trophy that grants an ability for the next round.
Also during the Night phase, the crooked poser judges will kick someone else out of the competition!
This is open to any number, but I can't start until after 2024 gets rolling.

I'm afraid that others' tastes might not be as cool as mine.

As an intriguing note, the trophies you can win for surviving nomination?
Well, they're actually certificates. We can't afford trophies for every band that wins a round.
But the prize printed on each certificate will be related to the track with which you win.

This is a pretty bad ass setup
As a side note: Players will secretly get +1 vote against them in the poll if I don’t like the song
for legal purposes this is a joke, I don’t like any songs

Epi: You may or may not answer this, but thinking about the game. (And totally get it if you say that you won’t answer)
Will we given personal requirements (genre or whatever) for submissions? In other words, will this be based on role or based on the individual player?

Everyone starts out vanilla. The only powers are the ones you earn winning competitions at Night.
So no, there will be no requirements regarding submissions of music (other than adhering to Syndicate rules in general).
Great question, thanks LoRab.

That does lead to a good point though: Those who are battling can't be kicked out by the mafia.

There will be a Day 0 to give everyone a chance to come in and ease their hangovers.

Just don't leave me with 12 players. That's the worst number for Mafia.

Sure is. Both 10v2 and 9v3 suck.
It's a bad time for me, but let's get Epi at least one more.
