It's time to live out your dream of You are a member of the Metro City Police Force - you worked your butt off to get where you are. Whether you are a recent recruit from the academy, or a grizzled veteran, you consider yourself and your peers to be among those of the highest moral character. .. Or at least you used to. Rumors have been spreading recently that the Metro City Police Internal Affairs department is under new leadership - and that they're in the pocket of some of Metro City's most questionable characters. Worse still - they've planted some of their own members in your Precinct and have been sabotaging the careers of good cops, replacing your fellow Dudley Do-Rights with, well, duds. It is your job as a member of the Boys in Blue to root out the planted members of the Internal Affairs team and clean up the Metro PD before crime runs rampant in Metro City! I (Mikujin) will be your moderator on this wild ride. A big shout out to TheNinthLayer who helped me put a bit polish on the setup - thanks! Everyone's a Cop Mafia is a closed setup game of Mafia for 16 players, featuring a robust array of roles - some of which may be familiar, some of which may not! Standard Mafia Rules apply in this game. Flavour in this game is just that. In addition, non-town roles will be provided reasonable, individualized fake claims - speculate on the setup at your own peril! All players are encouraged to sign-up in thread. Prospective players, or folks simply interested in watching can join the Everyone's a Cop Mafia Discord - my only request is that if you join you swap your server name to your forum's name for everyone's ease! I will be preferring to do all mod and team communication via Discord - this isn't a mandate, however. This game is open to all players on a first-come, first-served basis. If at any time you feel you cannot commit to the game, please notify me so that you can be replaced as soon as possible. Grizzled Gumshoes

The coffee is lukewarm, and the donuts are stale. It's just another day for the members of the Metro City PD. Or, at least you'd like for it to be. The announcement just went out: Officer Ricky (Plot Device), member of The Boys in Blue was placed on Administrative Leave! Example Flip posted:
Those guys from the Internal Affairs team must've had something to do with this. Everyone knows they're dirty - that they work for the lowest of the low. Better keep your head down while you figure out who these guys are... The game is officially open. The first deadline will be set 4 days from today - Saturday Dec. 21 @ 11:59 (CST). If anyone has questions, or if you are missing anything from your role PM, please let me know. I'm always available on Discord - or you can PM me on SA.

Without really know what, everyone agrees that Internal Affairs is certainly up to something. Even just their presence in the precinct has already thrown the day-to-day into chaos. "I look like I'm one of them," Dancer pre-empts, "But really, I'm not!" For awhile, this holds, and they're left to their devices. But as the day drags on, more and more officers interpret Dancer's conspicuous silence as an admission of guilt. At the end of the day, an agreement has been reached: Dancer will be suspended indefinitely. At the end of the day, a memo goes out releasing Dancer's HR records: Dancer, self-aligned Double-Agent (Miller Variant) has placed on suspension! Dancer's HR File posted:Undercover: No one knows you are actually undercover except yout handler - and they're mising in action. Keep your eyes peeled for other officers that may mistake you as one of the bad guys... Shortly after the memo about Dancer's suspension goes out, a reply is quickly broadcast to the precinct: "Metro City PD, thank you for your assistance in helping my locate a rogue operative asset. I wish you good luck in your internal affairs dispute. Perhaps I'll be lucky enough to work with you all in the future. Signed:" Hal Incandenza, NSA Agent (Lyncher Variant) has achieved their win condition and leaves their post! Night actions in 24 hours or sooner, via PM or discord. Game will go back up immediately upon getting them all.

Everyone returns to the office the following day, baffled by the how the previous work day played out. Strange government agencies in the precinct? Who knew! You sit at your desk and review the station's daily notices. It appears that: Tommu, Buddy Cop (Confirmed Mason Variant) has been placed on Administrative Leave! Tommu's HR File posted:
Your peers all seem to congregate around Tommu's desk, lamenting him being removed from his post. You notice there is an extra Ballpoint Pen on Tommu's desk. The deadline for this day will be Thursday, Decemeber 26 @ 8:00 PM CST. Deadlines will all be 72 hours or less moving forward - I just wanted to accommodate for folks' holiday schedules (and mine, too!) with this one.

Some really great flavor and definitely not me being lazy while playing other family games. Mr. Steak, Internal Affairs Clerk (Busdriver), member of Internal Affairs has been suspended indefinitely!

You enter the precinct early; the holiday cheer is noticeably absent. Unsurprising, given recent events. You sit down to review the daily station notices: 2 penny bottle imp, Buddy Cop (Confirmed Mason Variant) has retired from the force! 2 penny bottle imp's HR File posted:
You shake your head wearily. It's always a shame to see a good cop retire - especially so in the case when they're doing so to protest the injustices served in their own precinct. The deadline for this day will be Sunday, Decemeber 29 @ 4:00 PM CST.

Motivated by the loss of a few good officers, those still in the precinct waste no time in applying their professional skills to the office dilemma. Internal Affairs was costing good men and women their jobs, and that wouldn't do. Officer Podima quickly takes the reins on the investigation, and begins trying to unravel the nebulous flurry of activity. Everyone knew something - but they would figure out everything! Anomalous Amalgam, however, reminds everyone that they are the Chief of Police, and that - eager though they were - their directives were the only ones that matter. Discord and disconent was running rampant through the precinct, and as Chief, they would restore order. Ultimately, though, the officers decided not to be pushed around by anyone on this matter. After all, anyone could be in cahoots with Internal Affairs and that was the most alarming thing. Once the votes were tallied, the memo was sent out... Anomalous Amalgam, Director of Internal Affairs (Godfather), member of Internal Affairs, has been suspended indefinitely! AA's HR File posted:

You return to work with a vague sense of unease. So many people you've worked alongside have been removed from their post - some rightfully so, while others less so. "Who might not be in today?" you wonder. As you sit at your desk and review the stations daily status memo you are pleasantly surprised to find: There have been no staffing changes. Deadline is Tuesday December 31 @ 11:59 PM CST.

Squiggly, Supervising Officer for Internal Affairs (Variant Hider) and Leith Maclaine, the Inside Man (Variant Recruit) have revealed themselves as the remaining members of Internal Affairs, and retired from the force! The Boys in Blue have removed the sinister presence of the Internal Affairs division from the precinct and secured their victory! For those who want to view it, the Setup Doc is here! The doc includes roles, assignments (as dictated by random.org), the fakeclaims provided to the scum team, as well as night actions! I will be posting some of my own thoughts and musings on the game shortly - from roles and requirements, to the way things played out!

Roles As a role madness game, this was definitely packed with a lot of power. Two roles* in particular ended up being much stronger than expected - largely because of who got them and how they were used.
Vote-kills
Night Actions
Other Odds and Ends In reviewing night actions, you may notice that Leith Maclaine was recruited despite not actually hitting either of the actual recruitment methods. This was done to off-set my accidental confirmation of the watch role-claim. It turns out that trying to actually manage the game and player inquiries while playing drinking games with family may have not been the best idea. To off-set this accidental confirmation, I turned his recruitment into an at-next-end-of-day. Unfortunately, this didn't really help the scum team enough with the night action puzzle game having gained a lot of traction.

Leith Maclaine posted:I think LR could be balanced by NK becomes ninja and strongarm is the killer is included in the LR. That way the LR does control all actions for one night to help town win, but they know they are going to be killed. If the LR had a limited number of targets and the brutal rolecop was forced to use their action each night, it likely would have been fine.
