You are Spider-Man, one of the most famous heroes in all of comic-bookdom. You have a striking costume, quick wit, and a wide variety of spider-based powers. One classic power you have is your Spider-Sense that warns you of imminent danger, and it's going off like crazy right now. Possibly because other versions of Spider-Man surround you, there's a Spider-Man corpse on the ground in the middle of you all, and each of you has a gun.

What is this?
This is a quick and silly game for 10 players where flavor matters, sort of. It's also my first time moderating a game of Mafia. Let's hope I'm better at it than I am at playing Mafia! If all goes well enough, I'll make a more serious game later. Just relax and try not to get shot.

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

Do I need to read my role PM to play this?
Yes! Unless you've read this and can infer that there will be dayvigs, in which case, maybe not!



Now for the important part that I stole from another Mafia thread: 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 one of our many community volunteers. The following users have been suggested as points of contact: 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.
5a) Wait for a posted day action to resolve before continuing to post.
6) Do not post when dead.
7) Don't edit your posts.
8) Lurker rules: notably absent. I won't give lurker warnings for this game, because odds are if you lurk too much, someone will shoot you without warning. It's what I like to call a self-correcting problem.
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/gDpnDSTc

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

I think you made a slight mistake (EVERYONE INCLUDING ME made this mistake at least once, you're not stupid). When you create a server invitation link, Discord defaults to only keeping that link active for 7 days. If you want it to stay active forever, you have to change the option for that and regenerate the link; if you don't do this, you'll have to create a new server invitation when the old one expires. I bring this up as the one in the OP has expired so it's no longer possible to use it to join your server.

Again, you're not stupid for missing this. The interface is simply not designed to make it as obvious as it should be that this is how it works.

You awaken with a foggy mess of memories. You were out fighting crime, then... you were drugged? Hit in the back of the head? You're not sure, but when you woke up, your Spider-Sense was tingling like crazy. Maybe because you were surrounded by equally-waking-up Spider-Mans, and in the midst of you, a corpse lay dead (as corpses do, except in the comic books where they get up or come back to life, but that's not this comic book). Also, it seems like every Spider-Man has a gun. But Spider-Man wouldn't kill, especially in cold blood and double-especially a fellow Spider-Man! There must be an imposter among us!

Brian Kornfield, Spider-X has died N0!

Brian Kornfield, Spider-X posted:

You are Brian Kornfield, town-aligned Spider-Man. You were a young boy seeking revenge against your mother's killer, so the elder god Chthon turned you into a spider-monster. Kind of a lose-lose situation, especially since you were just killed by a fake Spider-Man and nobody seems that upset about it.

It is now Day 1. Your Spider-Sense tingles.

One of the Spider-Mans, wearing a distinct black and white costume that looks suspiciously like Venom, has been shot. Unfortunately, it wasn't Venom. You see, the black and white costume was just a costume at first, and poor Spider-Man has paid the price.

Sandwolf, AKA Peter Parker, Secret Wars Spider-Man, has been shot Day 1!

Peter Parker, Secret Wars Spider-Man posted:

You are Peter Parker, town-aligned Spider-Man. You're a lot like the regular Peter Parker, except you're wearing a new costume that totally isn't going to be revealed to be an alien symbiote. Nope, this is the era where it's just a costume change, and let's be honest, it looks good. It'll look even better when you find the fake Spider-Man and prove that you haven't been corrupted by alien mind powers, or however Venom works.

Once in the game during the day, you may ##shoot a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will die. You win when all threats to town have been eliminated.

Day 1 continues. Your Spider-Sense tingles.

Another Spider-Man, hopefully thinking that only the imposter could brazenly shoot a Spider-Man before Spider-Man even fully woke up, shoots Spider-Man. But this Spider-Man is also a Spider-Man, and not an imposter.

schwinnebego, AKA Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man 2099, has been shot Day 1!

Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man 2099 posted:

You are Miguel O'Hara, town-aligned Spider-Man. In the dystopian future of the year 2099, a horrible accident turned you from a geneticist to a genetic freak. But you've turned that accident into a calling, and your heroism in the face of overwhelming odds may be just what's needed to find this fake Spider-Man.

Once in the game during the day, you may ##shoot a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will die. You win when all threats to town have been eliminated.

Day 1 continues. Your Spider-Sense tingles.
