STING 64: Oct 20, 2006

The last time we did this for the AEW thread it wound up being a success and a lot of people had a lot of fun, so I figured why not try to appeal to our MMA userbase. This is a game of mafia. If you've ever played werewolf or any similar games you'll be more or less up to speed on how to play.

Nick Diaz is a complex human being. Born and raised on the streets of Stockton, California, he entered the realm of Mixed Martial Arts training under the tutelage of Cesar Gracie, alongside his brother Nate. He's had a long and storied career, in and out of the UFC, a man of many needs and wants, of strange motivations and driving forces.

_{_{Nick featured, pondering the wherabouts of one Georges St. Pierre}}

In this game, the roles and allegiances that are given out will be more or less Conceptual, based on the things that make up the humanity that is Stockton's favorite bad boy. Things that bring peace and joy to Nick Diaz will typically be what makes up the Town roles in this game, and things that just seem to drag him down, make his life miserable, just out to ruin a motherfucker's day will be what makes up the Scum here. Scum will be given fake claims to work with so don't try to make arguments based on flavor.

If you are new to mafia, this will be a low complexity game. The roles will be standard ones and there will be plenty of lore for each of you to sink your teeth into. Remember that this is a game of subterfuge, so be wary of taking everything your fellow players are saying at face value. We're looking for 13 players.

We're operating with the following ruleset:

First two days will have a 72 hour deadline, following that they'll be 48 hours. Night Phase will typically have a 24 hour deadline but may end earlier if all night actions are submitted ahead of time. Night will always run a minimum of 16 hours.
On days that last more than 24 hours, there is a ten post minimum Lurker warning. You must make more than 10 posts in any given game day or else you will be given a Lurker Warning. If you have a second day where you fail to make more than 10 posts, you'll be mod-killed from the game.
Do not edit your posts. If you need to make a correction just quote your post and note the change.
Do not post after you're dead.
There will not be Day Actions or any Miller or other high complexity roles in this setup.
Your co-mod for this game will be Grandicap. Treat anything he says as if it were coming from me.

Players/Player Posts

The following is a snippet from the Mafia megathread OP courtesy of Sandwolf:

What is Mafia?

Mafia (also known as Werewolf) is a party game of social deduction, in the vein of Town of Salem or Among Us, that has been adapted to a play-by-post forums game. Mafia games usually have two factions: Town make up the uninformed majority of the players, do not know each other�s identities or roles, and cannot communicate outside the thread. Mafia (commonly called Scum in the SA forums) are an informed minority of players that can coordinate outside the thread, and are able to kill other players at night. Both town and mafia players can have additional powers.

After signing up to play, players are assigned a role (via a Role PM) by the Moderator, who is the person in charge of coordinating the game and writing the underlying story. Roles are usually private and sharing them verbatim is not allowed.

Most games nowadays are run using Discord for communication with both the mod and with other players. You will probably be asked to join a Discord group prior to starting play, so be sure to have an account!

Games have two phases:

Day phase: All players debate in thread and try to reach a consensus about eliminating a living player. Eliminations happen by majority vote; if a consensus is not reached before the end of the day, no elimination will happen. Votes are registered by the votefinder bot, and need to be formatted in the ##vote [playername] (bolded) format. You can also retract your vote using ##unvote. To change your vote to another player, you usually just need to vote again, but you also might be asked to unvote prior to voting someone else � always check the OP of your game to make sure of the system being used!
Night phase: Threads are usually closed. If open, players will not be allowed to vote, and may be asked to not discuss the game, at the moderator�s discretion. During night phase, mafia players will be allowed to attempt to kill a player, removing them from the game. Night actions that are part of roles will also take place during that time.

Both Day and Night phases have deadlines that are set by the moderator. Always check those carefully; once a deadline is reached, no more actions can be input, and the game will proceed to the next phase.
Game ends when one of the factions reaches their win condition. Typically, for town players this will involve removing any threats to town; for mafia players, they will need to control the majority of the vote. Some players may have additional win conditions that will be specified in their role PM.

If you have any further questions about how to play Mafia, just ask in here or check out main thread!
