The 16-bit retro-future of crustacean-based transportation




In the suspiciously Hyrule-like land of Termina, something very bad is about to happen. The moon is on a crash course with the earth, and heroes just aren't what they used to be. No, it's time the townsfolk try to fix this problem themselves. But time is running dangerously short, and shorter every day...

General Information

:siren: This game features an irregular deadline gimmick. Please read carefully. :siren:

This is a role madness mafia game for 15 players. There are no vanilla roles, though the usefulness of any particular role may vary.

Unlike most mafia games, there is no daily deadline that resets at the beginning of each day. Instead, there is a game-wide deadline clock. This clock starts at 48 hours when the game begins. If the deadline clock runs out, the moon crashes into Termina, and town immediately lose the game. Once hammer is reached, the clock is paused and remains paused during the night phase. Then, at the beginning of the next day, the clock resumes from where it was at hammer. In addition, if a town-aligned player was eliminated by the vote the day before, 24 hours will be added to the clock, up to a maximum of 72 hours.

In summary:
  • Town has 48 hours worth of game time to find scum that ticks down during the day and is paused during the night.
  • Executing a town player adds 24 hours to the clock.
  • The clock can never have more than 72 hours left on it.
  • If the clock runs out, town immediately lose the game.
Because of this gimmick, the lurker rule is not in effect this game. It's up to you to pressure lurkers into posting.

Yami Fenrir and Shellception went over the game to make sure it wasn't totally pants on head stupid, and then I changed it afterwards anyway.

Rules and Regulations

Standard rules apply.
  • Discord is required to play. > DISCORD SERVER IS HERE <
  • Do not edit posts.
  • Do not post while dead, at night, or between hammer and flip.
  • Do not quote or copy-paste out-of-thread information like moderator messages or private chats. Paraphrasing the contents of such messages is okay.
  • Do not discuss the game with anyone outside of authorized channels.
  • Do not fake day actions. If you perform or are targeted by a day action, do not post until it is resolved.
  • Do not lurk. Less than 10 posts per game day will result in a warning, repeat lurking to more serious consequences. 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. The lurker rule is not in effect due to the gimmick of this game!
  • Night action results will generally be along the lines "Your action was successful", "Your action failed", and/or "Your target did X." Don't read too much into night action flavor and be aware that an action resolving successfully does not necessarily mean it resolved the way you intended.
  • Most importantly, have fun and treat fellow players as human beings.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, always remember that your mental well-being is more important than a forum game. While antagonism and deceit are inherent features of social deduction games, there are lines that should not be crossed that may be highly personal. If you feel stressed out, abused, angry, or in any other way discomforted beyond what you feel is part of the game, do not hesitate to reach out and say so. Nobody will think ill of you if you have comments or concerns, or want to leave the game at any point, before the game or during the game. 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, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Opopanax, Sandwolf and Shellception.

The moon looks angry, and there's something creepy going on at the Clock Tower. You all have a very bad feeling about this. Is the moon getting... closer? Something has to be done before it's too late.

Day 1 begins now. 48 hours until the moon impacts Termina and town loses the game.

Well, the townsfolk didn't spare any time sniffing out that one, did they? After all, who wouldn't want that green-clothed weirdo out of here?

Opopanax a.k.a. Tingle, TOWN-Aligned Anxious Watcher has been sent back to his home island.

quote:

You are Tingle, TOWN-Aligned Anxious Watcher. You win the game when all threats to town have been eliminated before time runs out.

As a night action, you may ##watch another player, learning who visits them tonight. You may only use this action if the previous day ended with 24 hours or more left on the clock.


Night 1 begins now. 47 hours and 53 minutes still remain on the clock. Night actions in, uh... 24 hours, I guess.

A quick day is followed by a mildly quick night - it feels almost like the moon is further away than it was yesterday. That at least is something. But to everyone's dismay, it appears to have been a bloody night all around.

saladscooper a.k.a. the Deku King, TOWN-Aligned Executioner has been found upside down in his own cookpot!

quote:

You are the Deku King, TOWN-Aligned Executioner. You win the game when all threats to town have been eliminated before time runs out.

As a public day action in the thread, you may ##execute a player who is currently leading the elimination vote or is tied for leading, immediately ending the day with them as the daily elimination. This does not count as a killing action and can't be circumvented by protection. The target must have at least two votes on them from players who aren’t you.


AnonymousNarcotics a.k.a. Kotake & Koume, TOWN-Aligned Reluctant Parity Cop/Miller has been found with their necks twisted into an implausible arrangement!

quote:

You are Kotake & Koume, TOWN-Aligned Reluctant Parity Cop/Miller. You win the game when all threats to town have been eliminated before time runs out.

As a night action, you may ##paritycop two players, learning if they have the same alignment. You may not target yourself. You may only use this action if the previous day ended with less than 24 hours left on the clock.

If an action would reveal your alignment, instead it will produce a false result consistent with you being SCUM-aligned.


Day 2 begins now. 72 hours on the clock.

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

Weird info role, I get random information about night bingo every night. Tonight I learned there were three killing actions taken; I'm guessing whoever killed salad probably thought that execution power was scummy but I'm curious if anybody's open to claiming one of those shots.
