Game info

This is a mafia game for at least 13 players. Game days will be 48-72 hours with majority hammer. Nights will be 24ish hours, they may end a bit early or a bit late depending on my availability to resolve things.
Sign ups will close when 13 players some time to be determined from when at least 13 players have signed up.
This is a choose your of role game, which means that you will submit a role prompt to me in your confessional, this can be just flavor or as detailed as you want it to be. Submission will be due at a certain date to be determined later, before the game begins.
However please be aware that all role submissions are subject to change by the mod for some semblance of balance and any submissions of machine gun vig will be rejected.
After all submissions are in one player will be randomly selected to instead become a machine gun vigilante.

How does the machine gun work?

The machine gun vig will be a public day action that will remove a player from the game and immediately recharge upon use. If the machine gun vig shoots a player of the same alignment as they themselves are, the machine gun vig will instead immediately explode and their flip will not have information of their alignment included.
If the machine gun is selected as a scum aligned player, they will become a traitor. Which means that they will not be aware of who the other scum aligned players are and they will not have access to scumchat.


General mafia rules

-Don't be a jerk.
-Don't edit posts
-Don't post after hammer, I may not be around to close the thread immediately
-Standard lurker rules, you'll receive a lurker warning if you have less than 10 posts in a game day. This is reduced to 5 posts if hammer is more than 12 hours before deadline and removed entirely if it's 24 hours or more before deadline.
-Don't copy and paste your role pm, mod communications or any masonry communications with other players.
-Don't fake day actions, if you are the target of a day action, please don't post until it has been resolved.
-Don't post if you are dead.

Rule zeroth: If you ever encounter anything or anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable, threatened, abused, angry, or even unsure of how you feel, there are 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, Cloacamazing!, Opopanax, Sandwolf, Shellception, or whoever else you feel safer talking to!

so wait, if the "initial" machine-gun rolls a scum player, that player... instead becomes a 3P with... a machine gun vig & a unique alignment

why wouldn't their opening move just be to instantly vaporize the other 12 players

Scum rolling Machine Gun is still scum (traitor / aux), not 3P.

fwiw, i believe an initial-gun-scum could also do nothing!! just keep it quiet

until the other scum flip "naturally". u might expect at most, what, 2 others + initial-gun-scum

and then instantly vaporize however many arbitrary town players remain!! instant scum win, i assume

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's prepared for this with their choice of role and you'll have to be a little more subtle to avoid being dogpiled before you get any/more than one shot off.

shwinnebego posted:

It'd be funny if that would work! But if we stay at or close to a standardized number of players it'll be easy for scum to tell if there's any traitors or not, and that means they won't fall for a town machine gun vig claiming that way.

Waiting until the primary scum team is all dead to go ham on the thread is a pretty good option, mm. Still, now that you've said something, somebody can give themselves a role that will take that into account.

okay, but what if they accidentally flip for literally any reason, before the time has come

it's still okay for the GM to clarify this stuff

maybe other players making up other stuff and ultimately washing everything IS the balancing factor

i ain't running the game!!

Who said it only had to be one player who did that? But in the end, standard balance is thrown for a loop by something like this, and it's probably just as likely that the titular vig gets shot before ever firing/blows up by shooting a bomb/blows up by shooting wrong as it is that they manage to win the game single-handedly in a turbo showdown.

submit "my role is once per day i can select three players to kill," mods make a role like "you are once per day i can select three players to kill, a town-aligned wishful thinker. once per game, you can ##asks another player to do something out of character. they have obligation to listen to you."

really just setting up the mods for a hi tired i'm dad situation, which is to say you should do it.
