Alphabet Mafia hosted by Jalmont approved by IFM Alphabet Mafia - Flavor is simple and easy to understand. The Game Mechanics are not. I would like to think that this is as far away from "mafia" as you can get while at the same point still defined under that umbrella. You've probably played nothing like this. There is no guarantee this game will be balanced. I will guarantee it will be fun. This still isn't NOC. Get to #Jalmont Mafia. Be there or be square. GAME MECHANICS What makes this game so interesting? Here it is [plz read]: Spoiler Game Mechanics 1. Each villager has the exact same role pm. 2. Villagers each send in action PMs in order to use the roles. 3. Each role requires a certain amount of villagers to send in an action PM teaming up together. 4. The villagers can use the results of their actions to clean villagers or find mafia. 5. For example, they can directly find results via inspections, or determine mafia from failed actions. 6. Actions will fail when there are not enough villagers for the required role. This can happen from a mafia infiltrating the action group or an idle villager not sending in an action PM. 7. The mafia can counter the village by using actions of their own, which are assigned to them at the beginning of the game. These do not change unlike the amount of villagers required for their roles. 8. The mafia can use their roles to stop the villages role such as hooking a certain user, or they can use their roles to frame villagers as mafia. 9. The village in this game is truly an "uniformed majority" due to a lack of "auto-clean" roles such as inspector, bodyguard, etc. RULES PLEASE READ (stolen from smogon idk who) Spoiler 1. So long as you are alive in this game you may talk to any other living player. When you are dead you may not speak with any living player, unless you are mafia and only then for strategy purposes. No information may be passed from a dead player to a living one. 2. Every user has a Role PM. You MAY NOT copy and paste your Role PMs on the first night of the game, but even if you did it probably wouldn’t help anybody. 3. No screenshots allowed, if you find someone screenshotting let me know asap. 4. Feel free to post any logs of conversations had on the server including ones with the host. You can also fake logs, including ones with the host. 5. Each day will have a deadline of 48 (strictly enforced – don’t want to play the game? Don’t sign up) with the exception of Night 0. You may vote to lynch users during the day by posting “lynch USER” in bold. If you change your vote you MUST edit the bold text out of the old post if you post with a new vote. Once there is a majority as determined by the host, there will be a grace period of at least two hour. If there is still a majority the day will end. Don’t ask for when majority is reached – I will update when available. 6. If there is a tie in the lynch, both players will be lynched. 7. No items in the game. 8. No kills Night 0. PLAYERLIST Spoiler meeps Dubz ajhockeystar Master12345 leave a message after the dopog JhenMohran Beast Laurel Water Metal Sonic PoignantLyrics TSO IronStorm ZZZX KX Angel Flonne Hopkirk SUBS WE NEED EM Spoiler pls sub 18 Players Game. I *might* make deadlines 72 hours if there is a demonstrated need for a longer deadline (IE timezone issues [make it happen though - use quicktopics IRC, skype I don't care - let me know if you create a spread or quicktopic so I can monitor it, use it for postgame etc]) Any questions or if I missed something please let me know! I hope this will turn out to be an enjoyable experience for all involved (if this concept actually works lol). IF YOU WANT TO SUB PM ME OR SOMETHING uhhhhhhhhhhhh game starts when i send out ROle PMs and the thread gets approved - all necessary info will be posted following this post - i will update this post with deaths and stuff. (i will post stating when that all is finished which can't happen until the thread is approved another dumb feature of this subforum this is entirely unnecessary considering other forums probably have more use of it then this forum but w/e /rant) recap: i will make a night 0 post with all info (how many people are required for each action etc) when Role PMs are out which will happen when this thread is approved. thx for ur patience
hi I am sending Role PMs out now. Check your inbox! Sorry I just realized I miscounted some numbers (I now look like a big idiot .-.) Huge apologies to Dubz who will be the number 1 sub if needed. Sorry!
well in that case Dubz is in for Yagura! ignore that role pm i sent you yagura, sorry you couldn't play :[ CHRIST WHY CAN'T I COUNT and i found somebody
Night 0 (ALL ROLE PMS OUT) The battle of the century..the uninformed majority aka the Alphabet taking on the informed minority the Numbers. Could there be other factions? Probably not, but you never know. Unfortunately for one user it seems he has died a premature death. What do you call a cat in a blender? A MeowMix HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. RIP IN PEACE. And so, with this death in mind, everyone, letters and numbers alike get prepared for the oncoming war. Here is the list of village roles and how many users are required for each action: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Role[/TD] [TD]Villagers Required[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Inspector[/TD] [TD="align: right"]3[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Bodyguard[/TD] [TD="align: right"]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Safeguard[/TD] [TD="align: right"]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Hooker[/TD] [TD="align: right"]2[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Vigilante[/TD] [TD="align: right"]5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Rogue[/TD] [TD="align: right"]1[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Announcer[/TD] [TD="align: right"]1[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Mayor[/TD] [TD="align: right"]2[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] So if me and MeowMix wanted to hook MetalGross we would both send in a PM looking like "N0 - Teaming up with MeowMix / Michu to hook MetalGross." Then in the body, we would both say, "MeowMix is performing the action." And that's all there is to it! Remember, should one person forget to send in a PM, that negates the entire action. You will be notified should this happen. Mayor's ability carries over to the next day. Rogue is where you target a user, and if that user kills you, you do not die. Choose carefully and wisely. HEY IT'S THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME. SEND ME ACTIONS DEADLINE IN 72 HOURS AUGUST 23 AT 10 PM PST no kills tonight btw - if i fucked something up or you have a question please feel free to contact me on the server or PM me here on the forums
This game is gonna require co-operation. I'm not gonna be found on the server so if you want to talk to me about actions/other stuff, PM on this.
confirming. who wants me to just breaking strat the hell out of this game, and who wants to actually play it and have a fun time?
k. Not sure what optimum strategy is. But I reckon getting into groups of four and inspecting people would be most valuable. That way we are almost guaranteed of have three/four confirmed by d1. Even if mafia screw them. Or we could try groups of three. But then mafia can probably roleblock and opt in and it might make people look cleaner than they are. SO I RECKON ---> 16 people into groups of 4 (with whoever you want, inspect whoever you want really; JUST MAKE SURE YOU SEND DEM PM'S IN) Other 2 people ---> announce? lol
Confirming I got my PM. I can be found on the server. If you approach me start by telling me your letter. k thnx.
Dopog what happens if all the scum numbers are on one team? Would this be a problem? If yes how about we assign teams through alphabetical order? Its the only logical method besides picking which could be a problem and people might be left out. Also, it fits with the spirit of the game c:
k My problem is that I don't think the scum need to know (at least in public [i.e. this thread]) who is in what team inspecting who because they can roleblock/plan their own actions accordingly. I'd rather people sort themselves out, AS LONG AS WE HOLD EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE TO SENDING AN ACTION. Only problem I see with private is people not being responsible or two teams inspecting same person. If a whole scum team gets together that would be idiotic as heck I think (at least in the long-term) because we can find that dodginess out many ways. Actually yeah lemme think about it dunno if a problem. --> Basically if an inspect fails with four people supposed to send in the action either; a) 1 + people didn't send the action|not the same action b) 1 + people of the four is scum c) 1 + people were roleblocked d) a combination of any two/three of these If everyone sends an action~! THAT IS FREAKING KEY Then we should be able to have at minimum (lest this game be broken) three people inspected by the start of tomorrow. Also talking to jal; everyone who sends the action gets result so they can all verify. I like that spirit of the game thing though! Other people's thoughts on the strategy 4 x 4 inspects as a whole and doing it private or publicly? I don't want to try delve into breaking strat territory TOOO much + want fun for all you guys so just thought of something basic. I'll get back to this tomorrow when I have time. BYE FOR NOW
We can also do some letter claiming strat and attack duplicates. I think this would be best done d2 after we have a village clear and we all PM them our letters.
lol guys, announce only takes one town to preform. everybody could just announce themselves as town, then we lynch everybody who didn't get an announce, i.e. the mafia. roleblocked townies would get lynched as well, and if any mafia have an announce they'd get through it, but who cares, we'd still out all but 1-2 of em!
MeowMix and Michu aren't either o.o (i was using people who aren't playing as examples and i chose you because i wanted to keep the symmetry of the M's)
