  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

Ignatius M. Meen posted: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. Ugh, fixed.

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. 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. Day 1 continues. Your Spider-Sense tingles.

hambeet, barely done shooting himself, flinches when a shot rings out. But the shot isn't aimed at that Spider-Man, it's aimed at another Spider-Man! Wait, that's not blood coming out of the bullet hole... Johnny Keats, AKA Peter Parker, Spiders-Man, has been shot Day 1! Peter Parker, Spiders-Man posted:You are Peter Parker, scum-aligned Spiders-Man. Actually, you're a horde of ravenous spiders who merged with Peter Parker to form a hive mind that can conveniently wear a superhero costume. And while the Peter Parker part means you have a strong desire to defend the city, the ravenous spiders part is getting hungry looking at all these other Spider-Mans around you. But, your Spider-Sense still tingles. Could there be... another imposter? How many Spider-Mans are fake and how many are real?! Day 1 continues.

One of the slower, or maybe average length of time, Spider-Mans to wake up, wakes up and chooses violence. Unfortunately that violence was misplaced, and another genuine Spider-Man falls. AFancyQuestionMark, AKA Ben Reilly, Clone Saga Spider-Man, has been shot Day 1! Ben Reilly, Clone Saga Spider-Man posted:You are Ben Reilly, town-aligned Spider-Man. You're a clone of Peter Parker, with the memories of Peter Parker, who finds out he isn't Peter Parker and reacts by continuing to do Peter Parker things. Look, the Clone Saga was weird and bad, but at least you aren't Kaine. And you're not the killer, so you'd better find the fake Spider-Man before more Clone Saga nonsense happens. Day 1 continues. Your Spider-Sense tingles.

Another Spider-Man has taken offense at a Spider-Man shooting a Spider-Man, and with that, another Spider-Man falls, his costume glitching out. Wait, a hologram?!? wologar, AKA Quentin Beck, Mysterio (disguised as Spider-Man), has been shot Day 1! Quentin Beck, Mysterio (disguised as Spider-Man) posted:You are Quentin Beck, scum-aligned Mysterio. You may not have any superpowers, but your mastery of illusion and stagecraft makes you a foe so formidable that you become one of the founding members of the Sinister Six. Knowing you cannot defeat Spider-Man in a fair fight, you've arrayed all these versions of Spider-Man against one another, in a villainous plot to defeat every Spider-Man in the multiverse! Just be careful not to get caught in the crossfire. With the second fake Spider-Man defeated, your Spider-Sense no longer tingles. New York is safe once again, thanks to a few friendly neighborhood Spider-Mans! The game is over. Town wins!

Opopanax (He/him/opop), AKA Peter Parker, Ultimate Spider-Man, has exited the game a winner!Peter Parker, Ultimate Spider-Man posted:You are Peter Parker, town-aligned Spider-Man. You're an awkward teenager who was bitten by a radioactive spider. And while there were decades of stories about you, it's all baggage that was weighing you down. You're free from continuity to make your own stories, such as finding out which Spider-Man here is the fake. hambeet, AKA Otto Octavius, Superior Spider-Man, has exited the game a winner! Otto Octavius, Superior Spider-Man posted:You are Otto Octavius, town-aligned Spider-Man. Formerly known as Doctor Octopus, your final plan before dying was to switch your mind with Peter Parker's, and you are now in the body of Spider-Man. Something of Parker lives on, however, as you find yourself more inclined toward heroism and selflessness in this new life. Perhaps you'll become the hero you want to be when you discover the fake Spider-Man in your midst and prove yourself the Superior Spider-Man. Shellception, AKA Mattie Franklin, Spider-Woman, has exited the game a winner! Mattie Franklin, Spider-Woman posted:You are Mattie Franklin, town-aligned Spider-Man. You're a young girl gifted power in a mystical ritual known as the Gathering of Five. Forget Spider-Gwen, you're the REAL Spider-Woman, and you're determined to prove it and find the fake Spider-Man at any cost. After all, you impersonated Spider-Man before taking on your new moniker, so you know a fake Spider-Man when you see one. Scrap Dragon, AKA Miles Morales, Ultimate Spider-Man, has exited the game a winner! Miles Morales, Ultimate Spider-Man posted:You are Miles Morales, town-aligned Spider-Man. After being bitten by a genetically modified Oscorp spider, you gained spider-powers that were similar to but not exactly like Peter Parker's spider-powers. But you're your own character, not weighed down by the baggage of continuity, and maybe you'll prove it by being the one to catch the fake Spider-Man. Your Personal Muse, AKA Peter Parker, Spider-Man Unlimited, has exited the game a winner! Peter Parker, Spider-Man Unlimited posted:You are Peter Parker, town-aligned Spider-Man. You're just plain old Peter Parker, who just happens to have been transported to an alternate dimension ruled by the oppressive High Evolutionary. Naturally, you joined up with a team of freedom fighters to liberate this world from its evil regime, which is exactly as relatable as being an awkward teenager in high school, so why doesn't anyone like you? Maybe they'll like you more if you find the fake Spider-Man hiding amongst you. Thank you all for playing. I've learned a lot about moderating a mafia game, and hopefully people will come back for my second attempt, with a more serious game.
