[Mafia] The Wire: A Murder Mystery

STING 64: Oct 20, 2006

Welcome. This is a game of Mafia but with a little bit of a twist. This is set up for exactly 10 players. In this game, there are no Vanilla players. Here is how the game works.

A murderer is amok! One of the players will be the Lead Investigator. They cannot be killed or voted for. Each morning, the Lead Investigator will mark two players as a Suspect. Then, day will begin and players can only vote for a marked Suspect or choose to vote not to execute. When a day ends, any surviving marked players will no longer be marked as Suspects, but they can be marked again in the future.
Players with investigative roles will be able to investigate each night, but they will not know their own reports. Instead, the Lead Investigator will receive those reports, but not know who is reporting what. A warning to the lead investigator: not all reports may be accurate. Rely on them at your own risk.

Feel free to ask any questions below.

I sorta thought this would have an actual murder mystery to solve inside of it, but the alternative seems fun anyway so I am signing up

I would like to play for the setup! But... if numbers get met quickly and someone who is especially excited about the flavor is unable to join, I will happily observe too.

Small game. Mark me as tentatively interested, but if there's a lot more interest let other people play and I'll go unspoiled.

Night 0 will begin soon. As we are skipping the morning phase where players would be marked, nobody is eligible to be voted for as of right now. I will allow this to be a Twilight period before Night 0 officially starts in 5 hours, so feel free to post in game now to get a feel for one another.

oh and we need a body.

someone killed this guy.

Ok, which one of you did it? Just confess and make this easy on all of us. Clearances rates last year were terrible.

The Twilight period is my favorite... It's like being in another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. Like moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas

I�m also probably a little biased as I spent 6 years in a somewhat similar environment (much less homicide).

OK, let me figure out some really incriminating things to say real quick so I can draw a lot of ire on day 1 and be a huge distraction.

Voodoofly has joined the game as an outside interest. He is unable to vote, unable to be voted for, untargetable at night, and does not count as a player towards any alignment's win condition. You'll just have to deal with him. After all, nothing a community loves more than their State Senator.

this post is no longer valid.

toalpaz was slain in the night! A red ribbon is tied around their wrist.

quote:

You are Detective Ellis Carver, a CITY aligned Tracker. You win the game when all threats to the CITY are eradicated. Part of the Narcotics and Major Case Squad, you stick to the rooftops following and observing your target. During the night, you may TRACK a player. However, you will not know your own reports. Your reports are sent to the Lead Investigator. They will learn who your target visited, but they will not know you are the sender of the report.

It is now the morning. We are awaiting the Lead Investigator to mark two suspects.
