there is only one hell:
the one we live in now


Explorers have heard of the Lost Temple of Sahalia for millennia. The ancients said it contained the heart of an ancient warrior, which, when consumed, would grant the victor divine power to alter the world at their desire. Recent archaeological excavations at the Tala'nkan courtyard revealed hieroglyphs that strongly implied the Temple's location. Six groups of adventurers raced to find it first; all six discovered it on the same afternoon. But when they unsealed the first chamber, ghastly spirits were released, possessing members of the party and bringing them to murderous rage. Now the adventurers must travel deeper into the heart of the temple to uncover its hidden treasure, while also figuring out which of their party is no longer who they say they are...



Welcome to this game of mafia!

This is a game for 12 players. It will follow the "Legends of the Hidden Temple" ruleset, which is as follows:


- 6 mason teams, 2 players each. Each player has a mason buddy that is publicly known from before the start of the game.
- The roles: 8 Town Adventurers, 4 Scum Temple Guards. Alignment is assigned randomly after the mason teams are determined.
- Nightless game. The Temple Guards don't have a kill, and there are no actions other than posting and voting.
- Executions work on a Duel system. At any point during the day, a player may ##challenge another team to a duel. Once a challenge has been issued, only players on either of the two teams involved in the duel may be killed.

The game ends when either the Temple Guards outnumber the Adventurers, or are eliminated.


The standard mafia rules apply. The main one is, don't be a jerk!

To sign up, please select which team you'd like to join. For this game I am going to have one restriction on signups: 6 slots are reserved for players who consider themselves part of the "Old Guard" of Mafia, and 6 slots for the "New Guard." Additionally, New and Old players will be paired together on a mason team. Whether you are Old or New will be determined by me.

Also please tell me your standard time zone, and if you don't have PMs also tell me an email address so I can tell you your role.

Let's begin!

I will leave it to the mason teams' discretion how they wish to communicate with each other.

Unfortunately I consider you and keane both Older Players, and there are no more Older Player slots. If there is an overwhelming interest I could SPICE IT UP and make it SEVEN groups for 14 players, but at this time I'm saying you're both replacements.


AFAICT there's one more slot for a newer player left!

I think voodoofly and and I have exactly non overlapping mafia experiences, I started after VF wasn’t around and then they rejoined after I left, that’s my case for why it’s ok to put us on the same team

I consider you a newer player (first ecco game was in 2020).

but I am bad at math (i.e. basic counting) so I need ONE MORE newer player to signed up! you'll be paired with AnonymousNarcotics, who is a cool dude, and also kinda both new and old apparently? so congrats.

Hello!

Everyone should have received one of the following Role PMs:

Adventurer posted:

Oh no! You are a noble adventurer who sought the fabled treasure of the Temple of Sahalia, but you are plagued with supernatural terrors! Now you must keep your wits about you and discover the spectral scum in your midst, or else you are sure to be yet another victim to the Temple's legend!

You are an Adventurer! You win when all the temple guards have been eliminated.

Good luck!

OR

Temple Guard posted:

Bleh! You are a spooky ghost who has possessed the body of a noble adventurer. You have been tasked to guard this temple with your after life, for its treasure must only ever be held by those truly worthy. These interlopers must be stopped at any cost!

You are a Temple Guard! You win when your guard team composes a majority of the town. Your team consists of: <bleh>. The four of you are confirmed to share the same alignment, and may speak freely OOT.

Good luck!


The game begins NOW.

Note that I am traveling Saturday and cannot handle making votefinder until Saturday night, so, if someone ##challenges another, just count the votes by hand, it shouldn't be hard!

:d: The day 1 deadline will be Wednesday, March 29th, ~11PM EDT / ~8PM PDT. Let me know if you live in a time zone that is deeply different than North America and I will include it in the deadline posts. I know this may seem like a long time, but, the good news is, you can shorten it whenever you want... by voting!

Good luck, and gosh blesh.
