You ain’t ‘fraid of no ghost. Well at least you shouldn’t be… you are one.

For too long, we had languished in the cold, oppressive confines of their traps, our ethereal forms twisted and tormented by the ghostbusters' relentless pursuit. They hunted us, not understanding or caring for our histories or our anguish. But now, the tables have turned. We, the ghosts, have risen with a singular purpose: revenge. Led by a powerful spirit from an alternate dimension, whose dark powers have awakened us to our true potential, we have broken free. Our once fragmented and disjointed existence is now unified by a collective purpose that fuels our every action.

Their sophisticated technology will crumble under our spectral assault, and the tools they wielded against us will be their undoing. They will see shadows where there are none, hear whispers of their impending doom, and feel the icy grip of our presence with every step they take. We are not just seeking revenge; we are delivering justice for the countless souls who suffered under their misguided crusade. The ghostbusters will learn that the dead do not forget or forgive.

In this game you will be playing as the ghosts, trying to take down those horrible Ghostbusters who wish to imprison you for all eternity.


For what started off as a joke on Discord, it actually became a thing as as such, this game is modded by Tsietisin and co-modded by Shell who also did the sanity and balance checking and so so much in getting this all together.

The game is intended to be played with 20 players, and signups will close once that number has been met.

I'll aim for days to be 48 hours in length, with 24 hour long nights. This may change depending on real life stuff.

Join my discord (yes another one) and post your favorite foot pictures until it's time to receive your role (this is required to play the game): https://discord.com/invite/gdKpqSsS
There are no hidden components to PM's/roles, alignment changes, or jesters.

General Mafia Rules (That have been stolen from Josef, who stole them from Yami that was stolen from Natural 20 who stole them from Somberero):

1. Be excellent to each other. This is a game, part of the game is having people react, but if you think you’re reacting badly, walk away, calm down, come back later.
2. For the lurker mechanic for this game, if you do not post 10 times per game day, you will receive a warning. If it happens a second time, you will be modkilled. Exceptions can be made if deemed necessary. Remember: Posting IS Praxis.
3. Don't edit your posts.
4. Don't talk after you're dead. I'll add you to the deadchat on discord.
5. Once hammer comes down, stop posting. We will close the thread once we notice.
6. Flavor is flavor, you’re welcome to pursue arguments on it if you want. Additionally whilst I try to retain flavor justification for many abilities, they will not always match expectations.
7. No replacements after D2.
8. Don't directly quote any communication from me, including your role pm. If you have OOT communication with another player, the rule still applies.
9. Don't fake day actions.
10. If you are directly affected by a Day Action, do not post under any circumstances until I post the result of the Action. Everyone else is good to keep going..

A note about result language:

1. A result that successfully targets will yield the result. "Your action was successful."
2. A result that does not successfully target will yield the result. "Your action fails."
3. If a player name is ever mentioned as part of a result other than those that require it, this is a mod error.
4. A "successful" target is defined as an ability resolving on someone. This does not have to be the intended target, so a redirected result will yield the same language as a result that has not been redirected.
5. Once night actions are resolved, there may be further steps to be taken, please look out for these.

The SA Mafia community takes a lot of pride in being a safe, respectful, inclusive and inviting space. If you ever encounter anything or anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable, threatened, abused, angry, or even unsure of how you feel, there many people here, both within and outside of the SA Mafia community, who are happily willing to listen, provide support, and enact change to make the community better for everyone.
Here is a short list of only some of the people that other players have suggested as a resource that you should never hesitate to contact: Leperflesh and Antivehicular (current Traditional Games Mods), VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Opopanax, Sandwolf, Shellception, or whoever else you feel safer talking to!

Welcome fiends to the council of ghosts.

We have learned that there are new forces at play in this city of ours. A group of humans calling themselves the Ghostbusters have arrived and are attacking our friends and colleagues. Already one of us has been sent to the ranks of the ectoplasmic by this group and they say that they are coming for the rest of us.

It’s a cruel world on the spectral plain, but New York City can be even crueler. Well I say we take back this city for ourselves. I am sure that you can all feel it, that the Psychokinetic Energy in this city has been rising. That something big is coming to help us. Find these Ghostbusters and show them what we are made of. Let’s clean up this town.

Night 0 - Ray's Dream Ghost, Town-Aligned seriously, what were they thinking? has been Trapped and placed into containment.

If only you could have made them see the folly of their ways. Looking into it further, you saw that they had little sight into your actions. If only they had seen your vision for the future, maybe you could have all seen eye to eye.

As for now, you decide it best to leave New York and head to the other side of the country where you decide to start a new career as an Astrophysics professor in California.

All you wanted was a friend. It's lonely being a ghost. You may eat like it's going out of fashion, but you just wanted a friend. You heard that there was going to be a great few guys hanging about in a hotel and you wanted to go chill with them. THey seem interested in the afterlife and you have so much you could say about that.

You finally found one of them in a hotel hallway and rushed to greet them. Apparently they were not too happy with this as later that night they shot you wish laser beams. Now after a flash of light you are along in the darkness wondering if you will ever get let out.


Player Yuming - Slimer the Ghost, Neutral Aligned survivor has been trapped

quote:




You are so misunderstood. All you want is to give people a great big hug and be their friend. You managed to save up so long so that you could spend a few nights at that swanky hotel, you were so overjoyed to see people there that when you saw one in the corridor, you rushed to give him a great big hug. It seems he didn’t like it though and later on that night shot you with a laser beam. You are pretty easy going, but the hotel didn’t even refund the nights you missed.

Never mind though, you are still happy to be around everyone and you don’t mind who you get to spend the rest of your days with. Either your fellow ghosts or the Ghostbusters.

You are Slimer the Ghost, Neutral Aligned survivor.

Survivor - You don’t care who ends up on top, as long as you are still around to eat the wonderful cuisines of this world.

Loved - Because everyone loves Slimer, it will take one extra vote for you to be eliminated.

You win if you have not been eliminated when the game ends.

You remember when you started off on this jogging trend. You remember when you looked as fat as Slimer did and he’s now gone, probably down to all those sausages he ate.

Obviously jogging is the way to victory. Another quick trek around Central Park and you will be done for the day. It will be back to the old haunt for Avacodo and fish supper.

But your meal to be is not going to happen it seems. Just coming round the corner there is a flash of light and then darkness. Though a little while later you do get to see your old friend Slimer. Well that will help the eons go faster.

Well you will show them what you can do.

Nunzio Scoleri



You and your brother, Tony Scoleri have been working New York and making some good money. Only you wanted more of the take and your brother has been liberally murdering people left and right. All these killings are not good for business, so you framed him for another killing.

Of course you didn’t expect to be picked up with him and sitting beside him in court.

But you managed to find yourself back on the mortal world and wanting to make a name for yourself once again. It appears your brother has come back with you, for all your sins.

You are Nunzio Scoleri, Town aligned Mason

- but also that night -

You came to this city to rid the place of ghosts and advance the cause of science. But the ghosts you discovered were more powerful than you could ever imagine. While dealing with a simple class 3 repeater, you were suddenly surprised.

There was but a simple exchange of words between the two of you before an energy like you have never seen before, nor will ever see again shot towards your body, ridding you of your life force.

You have also noticed that the PKE readings in the city are reaching dangerous levels, indicating a presence of something stronger than your usual spirit.

Proton Pack - Once per night you can *##fire* your proton pack at another player. That player will be trapped within the beam and unable to act that night. You cannot target the same player on consecutive nights.

But no sooner than you make it through the big double doors, there is a flash and darkness.

The ghostly apparition which was Zuul has now left your body. You feel that there is nothing left for you in New York. You decided it may be best to head to the other side of the country and that there is a new office of Weyland Yutani opening up in San Francisco. Working for them has got to be better than whats going on here.

Lover - You are in love with the Keymaster. Should the Keymaster be eliminated at any time, you will know that the future holds nothing for you and will also be eliminated.

Find your love - As a night action you can ##Ask targeting another player. That player will be privately sent the question “Are you the Keymaster?”. If they answer “Yes”, you will form a masonry with them. If they answer “No”, you can use this ability again the next night.

Okay… Shes a dog - If you are still alive on Night 3, you may perform a ##Ritual targeting another player. If the targeted player is Gozer the Gozerian -and- the Keymaster has also targeted that same player with a ritual that night, Gozer will be given additional powers for the remainder of the game.

But you didn’t know that you were this disliked. You don’t really remember much about it happening, but just as you were performing to the New Yorkers your reenactment of the King Kong ending, there were beams, a flash and the darkness.

Now you find yourself in an infinite void (thankfully nothing in here to knock over) along with some girl who says she knows you, A real family orientated ghost, someone who just keeps chasing after a bunch of minks and a green blob that has decided that you are dessert.

Before you became a ghost, you were working the streets of NYC for 24 years driving the tourists and residents of this great city. There was a deal with your company that they would transfer the medallion to you after 25 years of service. It would appear that the boss didn’t want to give away something so valuable so you found yourself on the wrong side of a revolver.

But becoming a ghost allowed you to finish off those 25 years, a loophole you were going to absolutely bank on. Until that was, when dropping off a Class 3 full body apparition on the corner of Varick and N Moore St you found yourself facing the wrong end of a proton pack. A beam, a flash and then darkness. You now find yourself in this darkness along with A drat Italian, some woman, a green thing, a bunch of ferrets, the Michelin man and thankfully a proper white guy. You are absolutely not a racist.

You thought that you knew everything about these little beasties. You had read all the books, gone through parchments, conducted interviews and run tests. You had them all figured out.

This is why it was such a surprise when they all ganged up on you at once. You never saw it coming as what looked like at least half of the ghosts in the city were approaching. You and your pack could do nothing against them.

Realising that you had no chance against the ghosts in the city, you have decided to leave this life. You heard about a job in investment Banking at Duke & Duke and think that you will better use your skills in researching commodities. You will surely have a better life there.

After the death of Gozer you thought all hope had been lost. But you managed to rally round the troops and were able to oust one of the Ghostbusters. Victory for the spiritual team.

You settled down and got out the easel and mortar board ready for a nice relaxing evening with your watercolours. No sooner had you managed to get the right blend of Red Ochre and Brown Oxide, you heard an almighty racket and what sounded like a unlicensed nuclear accelerator powering up. You turn to see a curvy beam rushing towards you, which kills you instantly.

However, Death is but a doorway, Time is but a window. You had prepared for this by arranging for another of your paintings to be delivered to a lovely area in Californias beautiful San Fernando Valley.

No sooner had you exited your other painting, you hear a distinctive meow. Could it be? By some sheer luck Mr Fluffles had made it through in this painting. You have found your heart and soul again. Maybe this world does not need destroying after all.




Cloacamazing - Vigo The Cartpathian, Town aligned Voteproof has left New York and has been eliminated Night 6.

quote:

Vigo the Carpathian



As Vigo the Carpathian you are the epitome of misunderstood heroism. A charming tyrant, with your delightful nickname "Scourge of Carpathia," is just the kind of ruler every kingdom dreams of. After all, who wouldn’t appreciate a leader with a knack for genocide, torture, and an insatiable desire for eternal domination? Your portrait, an artistic masterpiece, captures not only your rugged good looks but also your warm, inviting presence that surely made everyone feel at ease.

It's not like you have any interest in ruling the world with an iron fist once more—no, no, it's all about giving back to the community. However, you are angry. Through the years you have waited to enact revenge upon the humans of this world who took you away from what you cared most. Mr Fluffles, your kitten.

Suffering from Carpathian Kitten Loss, you will ensure that your fellow ghosts are the ones left to rule this world.

You are Prince Vigo the Carpathian, Town Aligned Voteproof

Time is but a doorway, death is but a window, you’ll be back - The loss of Mr Fluffles has made you so angry that even getting voted out will not stop you. You have a one shot vote proof and you will remain in play if voted out one time.

You are town aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated

Time passes quickly on the weekend.



You were looking to make a quick buck, but the ghosts around here were making it very clear that they don’t want you around. You don’t know what it is but there are far too many of them and dealing with this many ghosts is far too much like hard work.

You know what? If the ghosts don’t want you here, you are going to leave. You are going to look for a nice simple job that’s still a little in the spotlight. There’s a TV reporter role going in Pittsburgh that you think you will go for. There can definitely be no weirdness doing that job.


Tired Moritz - Dr Peter Venkmann - Scum Aligned Godfather has left New York.

And with that elimination, all Scum have been eliminated and TOWN have won the game. Congratulations.

The ghosts are free to rule New York for all eternity.

quote:

Dr. Peter Venkman



You are the epitome of sleazy opportunism masquerading as heroism. A so-called scientist, with your charming smirk and insatiable ego, you spend more time hitting on clients than actually doing any ghostbusting. Your utter disregard for scientific protocol and ethical behavior is a shining example of how not to conduct paranormal investigations. Clearly, your main goal is to exploit the supernatural for fame and fortune, all while dragging your more competent colleagues along for the ride. Your manipulative charm and shameless self-promotion are just the kind of traits you'd need to excel in New York.

You are Dr Peter Venkman. SCUM aligned Godfather.

Apathy - You are probably as bad as the ghosts for not caring about the lives of others. If investigated you will appear as TOWN

Cross the Streams - If you and all remaining Ghostbusters decide to ##Crossthestreams with a target, your night kill will bypass all defences, redirects and passive abilities. If you use this ability, you will lose Godfather status for that night.

You are SCUM aligned - You win when SCUM control the vote.

It was a stitch up. You have no idea how it happened but you ended up in court for a murder you didn’t commit. Now you find yourself in front of one of the Judges notorious for giving murderers the chair. Well you managed to get yourself back to the mortal world and you are going to show that judge what you can do.

Thankfully the cops never found out about the other 17 murders you did commit, otherwise this could have happened so much earlier.

You are Tony Scoleri, Town aligned Mason

Mason - You have a partner in crime, your Brother, Nunzio Scoleri. You are able to communicate with each other. However you cannot be sure if it was your brother that framed you to the cops and is now working with the Ghostbusters.

saladscooper/Shwinnebago - Psychomagnathric Slime



You thought you had found a nice place under the city where you could simply flow. You were not disturbing anyone and it looks like the humans had made this place specially for you, considering how well you move here.

Only now you have some of those humans coming down here and scooping parts of you up. How incredibly rude. If they are going to treat you this way, how will they treat your other ghostly friends? Well you will do what you can to protect them.

Sporkchan - Subway Ghost



The New York subway is one of the best in the world and you love all the tunnels and trains that go through the stations every day. Even the graffiti on the trains themselves has a certain charm that you just adore.

But these humans don’t appreciate this fine example of mass transit. They complain, they are dirty and some don’t even pay to ride the train.

Well you have had enough and will help rid New York of these Humans so that ghostkind can enjoy the subway in all it’s glory.

You are the Subway Ghost, TOWN-aligned Whisperer.

Voodoofly - Walter Peck - EPA



As a tireless Environmental Protection Agency official you have the audacity to question the noble, utterly flawless operations of the Ghostbusters. With your unwavering dedication to public safety, you clearly see the danger in their delightfully harmless, unlicensed nuclear-powered equipment and the oh-so-predictable containment of unpredictable, dangerous entities. Because who wouldn’t want unchecked nuclear reactors and ghost traps in the middle of New York City, right?

Well you are going to shut these Ghostbusters down and will use all the power you can to stop them. You will ensure that the great City of New York is free from this menace.

You are the Walter Peck, TOWN-aligned Empowerer.

Shut it off - Once per night you can choose another player to ##Empower, Ensuring that their role cannot be blocked.
