A thousand years ago, people far and wide heard of the power of the Triple Temple. Legend had it that inside three Gods, now long since forgotten, had pledged their power to those who would come inside and worship them. The worship of these Gods, however, was forbidden and for centuries the Triple Temple was lost to the ages.

Recently, however, people around the globe have felt the call - a ping in the base of their skull, a stray thought, leading them to the lands in the North where the Temple lies. Those drawn to the Temple lust for power or perhaps a sense of belonging and somehow instinctively know that inside the Temple is where they'll find it.

The question isn't what they'll find in the Temple, however. The question is what will the Temple find in them?


The Triple Temple is a Mafia game for zero to infinity players. This is a "Choose Your Own Alignment" game and, to my knowledge, is the first of its kind (unless you county my Battle Royale game). The setup will work like this:

1. You sign up for the game. When you do, please PM me what alignment you would like to become: Town, Scum, or 3P.
2. Depending on how many people sign up during the sign-up phase, the game will then be balanced depending upon player alignment choice (so a scum side with high numbers might be countered by giving more power to the town, or vice versa).
3. Play will be plurality and otherwise will proceed as in a normal mafia game.

I'll take sign-ups until Saturday night at midnight and begin Sunday unless we get a high number of sign-ups early.

What happens if everyone picks the same alignment? Do you just immediately end the game?

I had thought of this and yes that is the answer. Ultimate victory.

People emerge from the temple. Three lights shoot out: Blue, Red, and Green and then the temple crumbles in upon itself. The survivors are left to their own devices...

It is now Day One. Deadline is Tuesday at 8:00 EST. Reminder that lynches are plurality and there are no no-lynches.

I'm not sure because facebook is terrible and I'll probably never be able to find the post again, but it came up that you commented on this video about the fast food worker and the other comments made me really mad.

Yours was good though.

Yeah, it was this one: https://www.facebook.com/coreyml/posts/813758245545?comment_id=813814048715&ref=notif&notif_t=like

He also said at one point that there has NEVER been a good Pixar movie so he is objectively bad.

Also I have another dude who is way worse, but he's friends only. He just posted an article about how Obama is a Satanist. It's incredible.

Sorry for the interruption. Back to the game!

Sir Sam Vimes is the first to emerge from the temple and also the first to lose the favor of the Gods. He is slain by a bolt from the sky.

SirSamVimes, Vanilla Town, has been killed Day 1.

Role Text: You are a vanilla town. You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.


It is now Night 1. Please send any night actions as soon as possible. Day 2 will begin when all actions have been received or 24 hours have passed, whichever comes first.

Nights are open.

A bang.

CapitalistPig, 3P Jester, has been killed Day 2.

You are a 3P Jester. You win upon being lynched any day after day one. Dying in any other fashion or surviving to the end of the game results in a loss.


Play continues as normal.

I'm really sorry for the late flips. It's been a tough week at work and I'm still feeling pretty awful. I went to sleep when I got home and woke up 12 hours later. Ugh.

The night is as calm as ever. Though there is movement in the bushes, the temple floors are merely stained with the dry blood of yesterday's bloodbath.

No one has died.

The Temple shakes with a mighty roar. Portions of it fall to the ground and stone tumbles into the cracks the open in the Earth. Two thirds of the temple are flung into the crevice and a voice cries out:

"LO! Well met, my brethren! The destruction of those who would follow Surtur and the devotees of Loki has brought me newfound power! Rejoice! Thor is here and shall protect my followers for all time!"

The followers of Thor smile as a warmth envelopes their bodies, giving them power for all time. A few others stand up and receive the warmth as well, content in their eternal victory.


The Scum have been destroyed. All anti-town wincons have been eliminated.

SirSamVimes, Town Vanilla
Puntification, Town Masoner
100yrsofAttitude, Town Doctor
King Burgundy, Town Vanilla
Hiipfire, Town Cop
GulagDolls, Town Vanilla
and EccoRaven, Town Vigilante have won the game!

Additionally, Hiipfire was never voted out. Therefore Gamerofthegame, 3P Unlyncher, has also achieved victory!

Additionally, JonJoe, Town/Scum/3P wins with whoever wins the game and has thus also achieved victory (he did not, however, achieve his Double Win)!


Thanks for playing!

I hope you all had fun! In retrospect, I think I made the scum a bit underpowered since there were really only two of them - I didn't really expect JJ to work against them. No, I'm not sure why.

Hal received unkillable stump with no win condition since he signed up to play but forgot to submit an alignment. JonJoe submitted all three and I said sure, why not? That sounds fun. Ecco and Puntification also got the powers they requested - in Punt's case he was originally rolled to be vanilla but I figured the masonry was harmless and fun. Ecco I regret giving her what she asked for (mostly) since it killed Cpig off for no reason.

If you have any other questions, I'm glad to help!

Kashuno/Asiina in-thread open scum/SK alliance was my favorite moment maybe in mafia history, btw.

You enter the Triple Temple and feel yourself drawn down a dark hallway. At the end you find a blue light enveloping you.

"I am Thor," comes a voice, "you found yourself not drawn to the powers of good and justice! Feel my lightning flow through you!"

You feel the light hot on your skin and leave the temple renewed.


So I was actually bad?

Typo. :/

Normally with my flavor I have it all well-planned out in advance. This time around both the idea for the game, running it, and the flavor were all just off the top of my head so it was bound to have mistakes. You were good, though! :)
