I've made three wild and crazy games so far. Let's pull it back with something a little more straightforward. Or at lot more straightforward.

What is this?
This is a vanilla game for 15 players.

Do I need to know about cooking to play this?
No, that's Cookfia. This isn't Cookfia.

Do I need to read my role PM to play this?
No, but I decided to put something in your role PM to encourage you to read it anyway.

The Game
Everyone is a vanilla townie or a vanilla scum. There are no powers. There are no passives. It's all up to you.



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.
6) Do not post when dead.
7) Don't edit your posts.
8) Lurker rules: I've decided that it's too annoying to try to keep track of post counts specifically, just try to post every day.
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. Or this post.

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/JWNrqe6enk

Why are there directions on how to interpret night action results?

Partly because scum still get night kills but mostly because I copied and pasted it.

There was hustle and bustle in the kitchen, as the patissier gave orders to the line cooks and sous chefs. This would be a banquet showcasing the depth and beauty of the oft-maligned vanilla. As the chefs worked, music piped through the kitchen to keep their spirits up.

"What the hell is this song? It isn't Thursday! Turn that off!"

With the frantic rush of serving the patissier's first course, nobody even noticed what song was playing at the time.

Nobody was eliminated Day 1!

At some point during the service of the first course, someone snuck over to the music app and quietly removed a song from the playlist. Its absence wouldn't be consciously noticed as the kitchen staff began preparing the second course, but the mood of the kitchen was, inarguably, worsened by its loss.

As the second course is being prepared, a slow and low song comes on, and the patissier seems to slow down to match. The sous chefs, worried that this will set back the service, quickly switch off the song to something with a higher BPM.

During the service of the second course, another song is quickly and quietly removed from the playlist. But how will the kitchen staff power through service without it?

With the third course being a very important meat dish - one the patissier is stubbornly insistent will work - the chefs decide to skip over the song about someone's bad decisions coming home to roost.

During the service of the third course, someone snuck back into the kitchen and removed another song from the playlist. Some people just don't appreciate high energy electronic music, it seems.

The third course was not as successful as the patissier had hoped, and now the fourth course was going afoul. The chefs weren't timing their components correctly, food wasn't going out together, and the guests were getting restless. It was an inopportune moment for the song to change over to one so blatantly aggressive.

"That's it, I'm finished! Clear down!"

With the guests grumbling unhappily, the staff slowly emptied the restaurant. The patissier's grand vision of showcasing vanilla didn't even make it to dessert.

The music playlist, scrapped after the debacle, now only contained dissonant mashup songs, rather than original compositions.
