The Syndicate

Greetings, and welcome to my newest mafia game, 8-Ball! This setup was created by Irrelephant11, from the MafiaScum Wiki.

Players (1/8):

dunya - Town
Epignosis - Town
Esooa - Mafia
Marmot - Mafia
NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME - Town
nutella - Town
PSINightmareEmpower - Town
tutuu - Town

SETUP:

Town (6)

No team chat.
Winning Condition: eliminate both members of mafia.

Mafia (2)

Have a team chat.
Winning Condition: be 50% of the living players.

Pocketing: once per night, starting from Night 0, the mafia must pick one player they want to eliminate next day. This player may be town or mafia. If they succeed at eliminating their target, they earn a kill in the following night. They may not night kill unless they eliminated their intended target.

Example: on Night 1, mafia declares they want to eliminate DDL. If DDL is killed on Day 2, mafia will be able to kill someone else on Night 2.

Rules

- This game is dividided in day phases and night phases. Day phases are when you post and make votes. The poll will lock exactly 48 hours after it is posted, and afterwards I will come here as early as possible to make the end of day post.

- Night phases are when the mafia decides their next pocketing target, and sends a kill, if they have one. Actions will be accepted 23 hours after the end of day write-up is posted. The final hour will be used by me to process actions, and to correct previous delays in day/night starts. Night posting is allowed.

- Voting is done through the poll. I do not require players to announce their votes in the thread or use fancy tags, though it is usually considered common etiquette to do so.

- Self-voting and changing votes are allowed. In case of ties, the elimination will be resolved at random. There will always be an elimination every day phase, even if no one votes.

- You must post at least once per day phase. Failure to do so will be considered inactivity, and I may replace or modkill inactive players. No replacements will happen after Night 3. if you are going to be unable to be online for a short period, please tell me in advance so I may give you some leeway.

- Do not engage in angle-shooting, which means using information from outside of the game to obtain advantage in it. That includes, but is not limited to, making bets or oaths in real life, asking people the color of their role card, or posting screenshots to prove anything. I will modkill players who break this rule.

- All players who die in the day or in the night will have their role revealed.

- All players will win with their teams, whether they are alive or dead.

- Talking with people about the game in any places other than this thread, or BTSC channels authorized by me, are not allowed.

- Dead players must post in red. Non-players must post in blue. Off-topic posts should be in green. I will use this color, please do not use it.

- There are two iterations of this game happening at the same time. You are only playing one of them, and you are not required to read the other game in order to play this one properly. Also, do not talk about the other game in this thread. There is a spectator chat for that, which both players of this game and players of neither game are free to join.

- Your Game Facilitator is Sloonei. If you have any issues with other players or with me and you need to vent out, feel free to talk to him. For gameplay related questions, feel free to ask me and I'll help how I can.

- This is what the town role card looks like:

You are a vanilla townie.

You win the game when you eliminate the mafia. Once per day, you may vote to eliminate a player.

First, and many other tales of fruitless mafia

Right on cue

ha ha funny joak

anyway i didn't realize the thread would be open during night zero and i feel like it's probably optimal to be quiet so as not to influence the mafia's choice that much? maybe? idk there's some deeper meta game here i dont want to think too hard

Yeah no reads should be given N0 for hopefully obvious reasons

I support this idea.

I'll save the jokes about being pocketed for Day 1.

Greetings. First, I will be your mod for this game. If at any point the game has caused you frustration for any reason, do not hesitate to come to me, even if all you need is to vent your frustrations. My job here is to help ensure that the game remains a fun and healthy experience for everyone involved. Best of luck to you all, and have fun.

Second, I've set up some unique forum based permissions for everyone involved in each version of this game. Some of you in this game are site staff, so nothing should be changed for you. But for the rest of you, you should be able to post only in your own game thread, and not the other. You should still be able to access the other game thread, you just won't be able to post in it. If for any reason you cannot access any features in your own game thread, please contact me and I'll fix the problem as quickly as I can. Thank you.

Oh, that's smart. I obviously wasn't the only one who was thinking about how easy it would be to accidentally post in the wrong game thread then!

Also, hey guys! Not really sure what to say at this stage of the game since A. I'm not very good at finding my footing at the beginning of the game, and B. this is just a N0 so the mafia can choose a target, and we don't need to/probably shouldn't post too much to influence their decision. But checking in is always a good idea so DDL doesn't replace me you all know I'm here.

You're mafia, so you should probably go ahead and choose yourself so that you and your teammate can at least accomplish something.

Oh, I know what you're doing! You're gonna hardcore scumread me and bait the mafia into picking me, and then on Day 1 when I become super townie they won't be able to chop me and won't have a nightkill. Smart.

Yeah, it was all I could do for a bit since I was so busy. I did play one game a couple months ago, but it was one of the few you happened to not be in.

I know I ask myself this at the beginning of every game, but is this the day you finally roll scum?
