![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAkL2-vh2Sk ---------- Discord Link: https://discord.gg/NYux2Bn3 In the Marvel Universe, mutants are humans who are born with a genetic trait called the X-gene which grants them natural superhuman abilities. Mutants are often subject to prejudice and discrimination, and many X-Men stories are allegorical, featuring story lines and social commentary that explore themes of bigotry and injustice. The X-MEN have fought against a variety of enemies, including villainous mutants, human bigots, supervillains, mystical threats, extraterrestrials, and malevolent artificial intelligence. In most iterations of the team, they are led by their wealthy founder, Charles Xavier, a powerful telepath who runs a school for "gifted" children out of his mansion in Westchester, New York, which doubles as the headquarters of the X-MEN. The current iteration of the official X-MEN team is headquartered in The Treehouse, still based in New York City. No longer working in secret, they fight publicly to defend the safety of mutants, work tirelessly to build bridges between mutants and humans, and protect the Earth and our solar system from extraterrestrial threats. ---------- As the series has been simultaneously running across various multi-media formats since its inception in 1963, almost every major character in the series has spent time cast as both hero and villain. This is where YOU come in!! In this game of mafia, players will take on the role of the X-MEN as they struggle to remember which of them has been cast as a HERO (town) and which has been cast as a VILLAIN (scum) after a long night of drinking with Wolverine. WELCOME TO X-MEN: HEROES AND VILLAINS MAFIA (a game for up-to 16 players)! ---------- Setup and Rules On a SPICINESS SCALE of 1 to "Galaxy-Brain Skinner Box" I would rate this game as: 2 - A PACKET OF WASABI IN THE "FRESHNESS-GUARANTEED" GAS STATION SUSHI TRAY This game is a SEMI-OPEN SET-UP. During sign-ups, each player must select one member of the X-MEN team, and the GMs will reveal that mutant's powers - both HERO (town) and VILLAIN (scum) - in this thread. HOWEVER, the GMs will be randomly determining which player receives which role and which team alignment once sign-ups have closed. Players may receive the role they revealed during sign-ups, the role a different player revealed during sign-ups, or a role that was not revealed during sign-ups at all!! My intention is to start this game with at least 9 players. It is possible that this game will feature town, scum and/or aux-scum players. THIS IS STILL A GAME OF FORUMS MAFIA. IT IS SOLVABLE FOR ALL FACTIONS BASED ON INVESTIGATION, DEDUCTION AND SOCIAL MANIPULATION. ---------- GM VOICE: hello!! i am Victory Conditions Town: Win when all threats to town are removed from play Scum/Aux: Win when the scum team cannot be removed from play, or when nothing can prevent this (i.e. the scum team achieves parity) Voting Day Phase Voting Deadline: 2 PM PST (US) This game will run on a 48 hour DAY cycle, with the exception of Day 1, which will run slightly longer (relative to what date & time the game begins) Night Phase action deadline: 24 hours after Voting Deadline, give-or-take This game uses DUSK rules. At the end of each DAY phase, the player with the most votes, or the player tied for the most votes with the longest-held last vote (LHLV) will be sent to quorum and removed from play. You MAY post in this thread during the DUSK phase (at ur own peril) Please do NOT post in this thread, at all, after Night Phase action deadline, until the GMs begin the next Day Phase. WHATIS What is Mafia? Mafia is an amalgamation of several different games of deduction between an uninformed majority (town) and an informed minority (scum). During the day phase players post in the thread and try to achieve either the town win condition (eliminate all scum) or the scum win condition (half of the total remaining players are scum-aligned). During the night phase, players are not allowed to post in the thread but may have access to night powers or secret chats. Night Actions Please submit your night actions in a timely manner! If you will not be around during the night phase, you are free to submit standing orders and conditional actions (for instance, a scum player might say “If they quorum Gregory, I will target Lucy with the Night Kill tonight") If we have received no orders from a player by the night action deadline, no night action will be taken. IN THE CASE of the scum-faction Night Kill, a random non-scum target will be chosen. Etiquette If you are an active player, do not post about this game outside this thread at all! In any capacity! For any reason! If you are not an active player, please do not post about this game outside the Do not copy/paste or screenshot anything from your role card, or any DMs from the GMs. You may claim whatever you want about your role, but do not directly share any text or pics from your card. Do not edit your posts. If you made any mistakes in a post, QUOTE the post and type "mafia edit: i meant to say this...". You MAY edit posts IF AND ONLY IF you misgender a player. You may edit the gender/pronouns only. This is on the honor system and a zero tolerance policy will be enforced if you are caught making other edits. You must add to the edited post that you edited it for pronouns. Do not post fake ##actions in this thread during the day phase. Respect your fellow players and do your best to play to your win condition!! If you have an issue or concern with another player's actions, or observe behavior from another player that you feel is not consistent with being a good sport, please DM the GMs so that we can address the issue. Life happens!! If an emergency or extreme situation comes up and you need out of the game, please contact the GMs!! The Magic Circle By signing up for this game, you (as a player) are agreeing to a few things in regards to your relationship with other players that are participating. This is a conflict oriented game with defined teams. In order to be successful, players will scrutinize posts, be suspicious of motivations, vote to remove you from the game, and lie. This is all part of the game and people should generally be given the benefit of the doubt that anything they say about you or your posts is in relation to the game, and not a personal judgement of you. If you feel a line has been crossed, feel free to reach out to the GMs so that we can address it and talk it through. This is NOT permission to insult a player personally, or pass judgements about the way they are posting. When in doubt, remember this maxim: attack the argument, not the player. ---------- PLAYER ROSTER: 1. wologar 2. shwinnebago 3. CubicalSucrose 4. Sandwolf 5. yuming 6. soru 7. sharkmafia 8.

on a lark i;ve been browsing various comic book wikis while putting together the content for this game, and if you haven't read the x-men comics before now, i strongly do not recommend that you start. like i've been mostly disengaged with serial comics since like the mid-late aughts, and the modern story lines are completely incomprehensible to me now. apparently count dracula (and an army of vampire slaves) are the main antagonists for the various x-men teams? which could be viable, if they wrote all of the various X-series in the vein of Teen Titans GO! (where santa claus is a recurring villainous gangster and the tooth fairy and the easter bunny are in a romantic relationship and it's all fairly light-hearted) but it seems like the X-series are trying to play dracula and his army of vampires as a serious, grim 'n gritty SERIOUS COMIC FOR SERIOUS ADULTS and i just cannot suspend my disbelief enough to entertain that premise.
