  Sharks are a group of mostly-saltwater cartilaginous fishes related to skates and rays. An ancient animal, sharks existed in recognizable form over two hundred million years ago and have remained largely similar ever since. Sharks have many fascinating adaptations. As cartilaginous fishes, they have a skeleton composed entirely of flexible cartilage, rather than bone. Their scales are composed of tiny tooth-like structures known as denticles, which protect them from parasites and facilitate faster movement through the water. And sharks possess a rare electroreceptive sense, which allows them to perceive the bioelectric fields produced by living things. This aids them in the locating of prey. Although sharks only very rarely attack humans, their status as oceanic apex predators, misapprehensions about their aggressiveness, and their expressionless, toothy appearance has led them to be perceived as malicious and highly dangerous. This has been terrible for sharks; quite independent of sharks being killed as a side-effect of commercial fishing, pollution, or habitat destruction, humans often go out of their way to deliberately kill sharks that have done nothing to harm them. Many shark species are today threatened or endangered. So, although some of the cool sharks in this mafia game may be scum-aligned, remember that the real villain, as always, is Man.  Welcome to Shark Mafia, a high-powered mafia game for 18 players. This mafia game is about sharks. BASIC GAME INFO: The game will use majority elimination. Days will be 48 hours, with 24 hour nights. Although every player in this game will have some kind of non-vanilla role, there are no alignment changes, jesters, hidden components to given roles, or other sorts of excessively-mean mod nonsense present. You will need to join the discord to play in this game. Discord link: https://discord.gg/CqDNFcfM GENERAL MAFIA RULES: 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. He who does not post, neither shall he eat. 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. 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. TO REITERATE, DON'T BE A DICK: 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!

shwinnebego was eliminated day 1! quote:You are a San Jose Shark. The San Jose Sharks are a professional hockey team based in San Jose, California. Since their founding in the 1991 season, the Sharks have had mixed results, at times being quite successful and at other times being one of the worst teams in the NHL. They so far have not won the Stanley Cup playoffs, but did appear in the finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016.

The town wakes up to find not one, but two deaths. It's fine though, this one seemed like a bad guy.  fool of sound was killed night 1! quote:You are a Loan Shark. You are not a real shark, but your occupation as an unscrupulous moneylender has been deemed sharkesque. It's really unfortunate for sharks that they have so many negative cultural associations. Oh course poor, sweet taishi also bit it. Or rather, got bit it.  taishi c was killed night 1! quote:You are a Dwarf Lanternshark. This is the smallest species of shark, measuring only 8 inches in length at maximum. Dwarf lanternsharks live thousands of feet deep along the continental slope of South America, and like many other deep-sea animals, possess bioluminescence via symbiosis with light-producing bacteria. Additionally, there is a sudden commotion around taishi! cube visited taishi c last night! It is now day 2! sharkmafia fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Sep 8, 2025 |

Disco, smelling blood in the water, consumes cube in a vicious feeding frenzy! ...wait, he wasn't actually a shark?!  CubicalSucrose was killed day 2! quote:You are an Orca. Orcas, or (serial) killer whales, are the largest member of the dolphin family, and one of the ocean's most dominant apex predators. Orcas are larger and far smarter than most sharks, and also tend towards a much higher level of social organization, often working together to take down prey. As such, Orcas prey on many kinds of shark, including very large sharks like great white sharks and whale sharks. The day continues. sharkmafia fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Sep 8, 2025 |

Tea Party Crasher was eliminated day 2! quote:You are a Great White Shark. The great white is undoubtedly the world’s most iconic species of shark. This is unfortunately for a bad reason, as they are widely feared as maneaters. Great whites are in fact responsible for the largest number of shark attacks on humans, but considering that amount is about ten per year on average, it’s really nothing to make an entire movie series about. It is now night 2! 24 hours for night actions.

The day opens again, to more death. whoa a bad guy again?? someone's on the ball over there Disco Anne, scum-aligned ninja/dayvig, was killed night 2!  quote:You are a Tiger Shark. Tiger sharks are aggressive and famously voracious sharks, often biting or even swallowing inedible objects. Their name comes from the dark vertical stripes along their body, though these become less obvious as the shark matures. at the cost of poor wologar however. wologar, town-aligned doctor, was killed night 2!  quote:You are a Basking Shark. Basking sharks are one of the largest species of sharks, surpassed only by the whale shark, and much like the whale shark, basking sharks are filter feeders. Basking sharks practice a particular method of filter feeding known as ram feeding, where they simply swim forward with their mouth open and eat whatever small animals and microorganisms they collect.

Though you are not actually a shark, your underhanded behavior in finding poor card players to trick into losing money to you has been deemed sharklike in common idiom. In reality, most actual sharks are far less sneaky than you. It is now night 3. 24 hours for night actions.

Good morning! Idle Amalgam, town-aligned tracker, was killed night 3!  quote:You are a Hammerhead Shark. Hammerheads are of course most-known for their oddly shaped heads. The purpose of this adaptation is disputed; some scientists believe that it merely offers them a superior range of vision, but a common theory is that it improves their electroreceptive sense. Sharks sense the electromagnetic fields of other living things through a network of pores in their skin called Ampullae of Lorenzini. It is possible that hammerhead sharks’ head shape allows them to use their head similarly to a radar dish, with a more widely-distributed network of pores able to perceive electrical fields more effectively. additionally, there is a sudden commotion around IA and yuming! Hal Incandenza visited Idle Amalgam last night! Opoponax visited yuming last night! It is now Day 4!

hal incandenza was eliminated day 4! quote:You are a Cookie Cutter Shark. A very small species of shark, cookie cutter sharks are named for their unique feeding behavior. Using their small size and specialized jaws, they carve small pieces of flesh off of much larger animals, including whales and other sharks. This behavior could best be classified as parasitic rather than predatory. It is now Night 4! 24 hours for night actions.

Good morning. Yuming, town-aligned loudifier, was killed night 4! quote:You are an Oceanic Whitetip Shark. Oceanic whitetips are pelagic sharks, meaning that they tend to live far from shore near the surface of the ocean. They most commonly interact with humans in the context of fishing, and this species of shark was known for a long time as the most common ‘boat-following’ shark. However, oceanic whitetips are more famous for being the shark most associated with attacks on shipwrecked sailors. One particularly infamous incident occurred in 1945, when the USS Indianapolis, an American heavy cruiser, was sunk by a Japanese submarine. Around 900 sailors were left floating with the wreckage, but only 300 survived to be rescued. By some accounts, hundreds of those who died were killed by shark attacks, and the likely culprit for these attacks is the oceanic whitetip. And another one. Sort of? Zoya, ????-aligned ??????, was killed night 4! quote:
Zoya is now a stump! She can still post, but does not count for majority and cannot vote, be voted, or be targeted by any action. it is now day 5!

amnistar was eliminated day 5! quote:You are a Bull Shark. Bull sharks are notable in that, unlike most sharks, they are fully capable of living in freshwater environments. Bull sharks have been sighted hundreds or even thousands of miles up freshwater river systems, with the main limit on this being the depth of the river. In Nicaragua, bull sharks are known as Lake Nicaragua sharks due to their presence in that body of water. It is now night 5! 24 hours for night axtions.

Good morning (shark themed) Tired Moritz, town-aligned mason/self-watcher, was killed night 5! quote:You are a Nurse Shark. Nurse sharks are a relatively small, coastal species of shark that feeds on fish and crustaceans. Unusually for a shark, they are sedentary, spending long periods of time in one place and waiting for prey to come to them. Nurse sharks are also highly gregarious animals, often forming large groups with other nurse sharks. Nurse sharks are the species of shark responsible for the fourth-most bites on humans, but many of these bites are defensive and are the result of unaware or incautious humans touching or stepping on the bottom-dwelling sharks. You’d probably bite too if someone stepped on your face. It is now day 6!

plasticautomaton was eliminated day 8! quote:You are a Whale Shark. Whale sharks are the largest species of shark, and similar to many of the whales from which they get their name, they are filter-feeders, subsisting entirely on plankton and other small animals. Whale sharks pose no threat to humans whatsoever despite their great size. marimo, town aligned gambler, was endgamed! quote:You are a Pool Shark. You are not a real shark, but you like to think that you are quite sharklike as you prowl the pool halls looking for easy marks. opoponax was a scum aligned busdriver. the scum win the game! quote:You are a Mako Shark. Mako sharks are the fastest known species of shark, able to achieve speeds of 46 miles per hour in short bursts. Mako sharks are also one of the few fish species that is endothermic, and their ability to thermoregulate independently of the water temperature may partly account for their great speed.
