 The little town of Lewisburg was rocked by scandal. A young boy who had never done anyone any harm in his life, who had just gone out to the local forest like he always had, went missing and was later found dead. His wrists were tied together and he had been shot in the head, execution-style, but the crime scene was otherwise clean as a whistle. The authorities also reported localized atmospheric interference as being the culprit for only local landlines being able to call each other (predicted by the local weatherman to end in about three months, at which point everyone would be able to call numbers in other towns/states/etc). The town had a few characters to its name it hoped would help understand these mysteries, and was fiercely interconnected the way many, many other small towns even today are, but it was anyone's guess if that would be enough to catch whoever was behind all of this... Welcome to Telephone Mafia! This is another roles-light open setup game this time quote:13 total players Sample PM role sections: quote:You are XXX YYY, SCUM-ALIGNED INTERCEPTOR. Every night you can select a target and ensure any messages they would have normally received end up in your hands instead. You win when you are in control of the vote or nothing can prevent you from obtaining it. Fakeclaim, should you choose to use one, is below: quote:You are XXX YYY, SCUM-ALIGNED GODFATHER. Any investigation results about you will come back as Town-aligned. You win when you are in control of the vote or nothing can prevent you from obtaining it. Fakeclaim, should you choose to use one, is below: quote:You are XXX YYY, SCUM-ALIGNED GOON. You have no powers besides your vote. You win when you are in control of the vote or nothing can prevent you from obtaining it. Fakeclaim, should you choose to use one, is below: quote:You are XXX YYY, TOWN-ALIGNED DOCTOR (1 SUCCESSFUL SHOT). You can choose a target at night to attempt to prevent the nightkill. If you do not prevent the nightkill, you may try again as many times as you like, but upon successful prevention of the nightkill you will become vanilla town. You win when all threats to town are removed from the game. quote:You are XXX YYY, TOWN-ALIGNED COP VARIANT. Every night, you can pick a target and ABOVE or BELOW (i.e. ##investigate ABOVE Amnistar). Your target will be given a message about the investigative alignment of the player above or below them in the masonry list, without being told which (i.e. "During the night, you determined either IggyMeen or Shellception is TOWN-ALIGNED" would be received by Amnistar even though hypothetically your investigation landed on Shellception, who was above Amnistar in the masonry list, while IggyMeen was below Amnistar in the masonry list). You cannot target yourself. You win when all threats to town are removed from the game. quote:You are XXX YYY, TOWN-ALIGNED WATCHER VARIANT. Each night, you can choose a target and ABOVE or BELOW (i.e. ##watch ABOVE Amnistar). Your target will be given a message about any and all players who visited the player above or below them in the masonry list, without being told which (i.e. "During the night, you noticed that Amnistar and lumpen visited either IggyMeen or Shellception" would be received by Amnistar even though hypothetically you successfully targeted Shellception, who was above Amnistar in the masonry list, while IggyMeen was below Amnistar in the masonry list). You cannot target yourself. You win when all threats to town are removed from the game. quote:You are XXX YYY, TOWN-ALIGNED MILLER VARIANT. Any investigative results on players above and below you in the telephone circle will come back as SCUM-ALIGNED. Your own results will not be affected. You win when all threats to town are removed from the game. quote:You are XXX YYY, TOWN-ALIGNED VANILLA. You have no powers besides your vote. You win when all threats to town are removed from the game. I got a bit inspired so there's a fair bit of flavor for people, unlike in the original game, and also I'm gonna stick with the usual 10 posts per day lurker restriction over the more lenient 5 posts a game day. Standard rules below: Rule 0, the important one that overrules all other rules: First and foremost, we are here to have fun and enjoy ourselves. Please make sure that at all times you put your own sanity and mental well-being first. If at any point you feel like you're having a bad time, like someone's taking things too far or you just need someone to talk to, please contact your mods or one of our many community volunteers. The following users have been suggested as points of contact if you do not feel you can reach out to me: The Traditional Games forum moderators, Leperflesh and Antivehicular; and Mafia regulars VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, Cloacamazing!, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Opopanax, Sandwolf and Shellception. 1. General mafia rules apply. If you are playing, do NOT discuss the game outside the thread or authorized OOT channels! 2. Please don't lurk. The lurker threshold will be 10 posts per game day, with the requisite being halved for hammers that happen at 12h to deadline or earlier, and eliminated if 24h to deadline or earlier. Communication is key - if something important is keeping you from posting and I can accommodate it, tell us! First time is a warning, second one is a modkill. 3. Do not edit your posts. If there is a big reason you need to do so, tell us first. 4. Do not directly quote private communications. Copying and pasting any kind of OOT comms into thread is not allowed. Neither is copying and pasting any kind of mod communication, including your PM, either in thread or in any possible OOT communication channels. This rule will be enforced, and infringing it will result in a modkill. 5. Do not fake day actions. If you have been affected by a day action, please wait for it to resolve before posting. 6. Don't be an rear end to people. You don't have to be all nice and friendly all the time, but if things get too heated, please disconnect, calm down and come back later. Again, mod team is here to ensure everyone has fun, but I'd particularly not like needing to tell posters to chill. Be mindful of the person at the other side of the screen! 7. There are no bastard mod mechanics here, not even ones I've joked about, not even ones I might in the dead of night wake up to in hysterics over. No cults, no alignment changes, no jesters, etc. 8. Days will be 36-48 hours long, depending on the usual of week/weekend landings and my schedule. Hammers are by majority as usual. 9. Everything game-wise will be managed or accessed through Discord; please join here so that you can get settled in and set up. Result language notes (shamelessly repeated from prior games): 1. A result that successfully targets will yield the result. "You successfully x your target" 2. A result that does not successfully target will yield the result. "Your action fails." 3. If a player name is ever mentioned as part of a result other than those that require it, this is a mod error. 4. A "successful" target is defined as an ability resolving on someone. This does not have to be the intended target, so a redirected result will yield the same language as a result that has not been redirected. 5. You will be informed if there are any special conditions that may cause your action to fail that you could not reasonably guess in advance in your role PM. As such, please read your role PM thoroughly and ask questions liberally in your confessional; I refuse to be held responsible for any misplays you make because you didn't make sure you understood how your role works! If you are not sure what might be considered reasonably guessable in advance, I highly recommend reading this link and asking any other questions you may have as needed. Signups:
