Too cute to be evil




So it has come to my attention that some of you people really dislike reading, to the point of not even reading your own role PMs. Well, this has got to change! And how do we change this? By having a mafia game with a theme of "Villains and Generally Unpleasant People From Classic Literature", of course!

What is this?
This is a role madness mafia game for 17 players. Your mods for this game will be Cloacamazing! and Hyper Crab Tank.

Do I need to have read a book to play this?
No.

Do I need to read my role PM to play this?
Yes!



Now for the important part that nobody ever reads: the rules.

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 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) Don't be a dick.
2) No unsanctioned out of thread communication about the game.
3) No copy-pasting any out of thread info into the thread, especially not your role PM. Paraphrasing is generally fine, when in doubt ask your mods.
4) Do not post after the hammer.
5) Do not fake day actions.
6) Do no post when dead.
7) Don't edit your posts.
8) Lurker rules: Please make at least 10 posts with reasonable amounts of content per day (i.e. don't just post numbers, say something). This minimum is reduced to 5 posts if the day ends more than 12 hours before deadline and removed entirely if the day ends more than 24 hours before deadline. Failure to reach the minimum postcount will get you a warning first, second time will get you modkilled. If you have problems reaching that number due to real life issues, let us know preferably in advance. We'll work something out.
9) Seriously, don't be a dick.

This game contains no elements that are purposefully designed as mod bastardry. There are no hidden components to any role that are not made clear in the role PM.

Night action results will be given as "You successfully [action]ed your target.", followed by any further information. Failed actions will be given as "You failed to [action] your target." There will usually be some flavor text in italics delivered with the night results. While flavor text won't outright lie to you, it also isn't part of your result text. Rely on it at your own peril.

You will need Discord to play this. Please join the server here: https://discord.gg/PVfGbKqEa3

Too cute to be evil
At the local Classic Literature Convention, various highly literate people had assembled to have some highbrow literature debates. For additional fun, everybody had decided to dress as their favorite character from classical literature. Things went pretty well for the most part, it promised to be nothing like that chaos of the previous WizCon until the first morning of the convention, when the attendants saw that

The Whizzard of Oz, 3Pee-aligned Piss Whizzard has been brutally murdered Night 0!

"'Tis I, the Whizzard of Oz! Dare you follow my yellow brick road?"

You are The Whizzard of Oz, 3Pee-aligned Piss Whizzard!

It would have taken a great deal more courage to follow our hearts and put this role into the actual game, so we decided to employ our brains and not go down that yellow brick road. There's no place like home!

It is now Day 1! Please have fun and SAND READ YOUR ROLE PM!

Are you sure this wasn't some anachronistic transcription of the New Zealand deck caulk ad? Failing that, I'm pretty sure it's Clo and Crab you should be asking!

There is definitely a game idea in "Everyone gets everyone else's role PM". I'm not sure exactly how that works but I know it's there.

it would have to be a game full of passive role actions rather than active ones to work but yes, there could be something there

on an unrelated note i won't be very active today i forgot i signed up for this and am still trying to sort some poo poo out
