[Nato G]

I've had this idea floating around in my chaotic brain for a while now, and finally decided to stop being lazy and actually write it up:

 

Mafia: The Heist of the Centuries.

 

The story: 

 

Tonight’s the night, the grand opening of the Great Artakha Gallery, showcasing the paintings and sculptures and other works of the most talented artists in the entirety of the Matoran Universe. 

 

But all is not well on this night. 

 

A vengeful artist, whose own works were deemed unworthy of display in the Gallery has arrived with a team of assassins under his employ, intending to slaughter the other guests and burn the Gallery to the ground. A trio of thieves have mingled with the crowd, planning to pull off the ultimate heist in robbing the Gallery of its riches on its opening night. 

 

Also among the crowd are an eccentric painter, a well-known art critic, an off-duty medic, the gallery’s esteemed curator, a pair of lazy, donut-devouring security guards, and a down-on-his-luck private investigator.

 

The canvas is set, the brushes are ready, and soon the walls of the gallery shall be painted… in blood. 

 

Roles: 

 

Mafia – their win condition is to kill everyone. 

• Assassins (x3) – regular murderers with no special abilities. 
• The Pyro (x1) – kills things… with fire. 
• Vengeful Artist (x1) – the employer of the group, cannot kill anyone unless all of the other mafians have been found and lynched.

Village – to win, they must both thwart the assassins and find the thieves. 

• Detective (x1) – investigates a player each night.  
• Medic (x1) – chooses a player to save each night.
• Security Guards (x2) – bumbling, sluggish morons with mind-boggling levels of ineptitude. 
• Guests (x20) – renowned artists who were famous – and unfortunate – enough to get invited to the Gallery’s opening night. 

Thieves – their goal is to survive, and escape with the stolen art. 

• The Con Artist (x1) – a very persuasive talker, their votes count for three. 
• The Art Forger (x1) – plants a fake clue in every scene implicating a player of their choosing. 
• The Inside Man (x1) – an outstanding member of the art community, who can use this reputation to their advantage. 

Other – various other roles with unique/specific goals. 

• The Curator (x1) – a master of disguise, the Curator has gone into hiding. Want to know why? You’ll have to find him first. 
• The Eccentric (x1) – inspired by mysterious visions, they paint a cryptic clue each night implicating the real killer. 
• The Critic (x1) – investigates a player each night, for unknown reasons. 

[Lenore]

That sounds pretty cool. My only question is what exactly separates the Pyro from the Assassins?

[Voltex]

That sounds pretty cool. My only question is what exactly separates the Pyro from the Assassins?

 

The Pyro kills with fire

 

duh

[Ehksidian]

Don't start signing up for mine yet. I'm running it after Ekhs finishes XXVIII.

i'm not hosting a game hahaha

[Nato G]

My only question is what exactly separates the Pyro from the Assassins?

 

There's more to some of the roles than what's written there. Without giving too much away, the Pyro can only kill on certain nights, in addition to the regular assassin being sent out, and has a few other perks on account of being totally nuts. 

[Ghidora131]

Quisoves is hosting XXVIII, not Ehks

Oh.

[fishers64]

I vote for Nato's game. Sounds like fun. 

[Nato G]

I think Tiragath was already down for doing the next side game; I'm fine with waiting. 

[Voltex]

do rock-paper-scissors

 

best two out of three wins

[Ghidora131]

Rock, Paper, Scissor-

 

Wait.

 

This is too familiar...

[Not Quite Dead]

I'd actually prefer to play Nato's game to mine, so let's go with his.

[Voltex]

i guess next side game is yours then nato

[Nato G]

Alright, then.

 

Once Tag Team is done, I'll open signups. 

[Valendale]

YO YO PIRAKA should be rapping up very soon as well.

[Voltex]

it is a magical time

[Nato G]

Tis the season to be jolly. 

[Rahkshi Guurahk]

If I get Con(n) Artist in Nato's game... there's something fishy going on.

_Illuminati!

[Voltex]

[Ghidora131]

forced to live for five nights at the local pizzeria

I accept

[Voltex]

very well then Ghidora

 

here you are

 

 

On the island of Mata-Nui, Makuta reigns supreme. Most of its Matoran population, along with the Turaga of each village, has been subjugated to his tyrannical rule, slowly corrupted by the shadows as they are guarded by the Rahkshi.

 

Takua and Jaller, sent on a mission to find the mythical Toa of Light, have vanished without a trace.

 

The Toa Nuva, divided as they were, have fallen one by one to the Rahkshi; only two remain.

 

---

 

Eighteen Matoran (three from each Koro) have banded together with the two remaining Toa Nuva – Lewa, Toa of Air and Kopaka, Toa of Ice – within Kini-Nui, turning the temple into a mighty fortress. This fortress has only two entrances; one to the east, and one to the west. During the daytime, the group is safe; but at night the corrupted Toa Nuva strike.

 

They have learned the rules of this new “game” that Makuta has created. For instance, all of the evil Toa will target a specific person each night; if Lewa can guess one of the targets, he can save them from doom. Each of the corrupt Toa also holds to a certain attack pattern:

 

Gali always attacks them from the east; she is stopped if Kopaka denies her access.

Onua and Pohatu always attack from the west; they are both stopped if Kopaka denies them access, although Pohatu moves too quickly for Lewa to save his victims if allowed inside.

Tahu can always pick the door he enters through; this has proven tricky, for if Kopaka tries to deny him from the east but Tahu enters through the west, he will still enter the temple.

And every now and then, a mysterious Shadow Toa appears, popping suddenly out of the shadows; Lewa has been able to stop his attacks, although Kopaka’s defences are useless.

 

If the Matoran can survive for five more nights, Makuta has pledged that this assault will end.

 

And ironically, Makuta can always be trusted to keep his promises.

 

Let the game begin…

 

Are you ready for Five Nights at Mafia?

 

RULES

1-Vote changes are not permitted.

2-All BZP Rules Apply.

3-Once killed, players can no longer have an impact on the game.

4-Role revealing is not allowed.

 

ROLES

THE MATORAN

Matoran x18 – Ordinary players, who vote each day on who to kill.

Lewa x1 – One of the only Toa not to be corrupted by Makuta; Lewa can protect one player from death each night for every active Toa. Cannot protect against Pohatu.

Kopaka x1 – The other Toa not corrupted by Makuta; Kopaka can close each door on two players each night. If he blocks the correct person, he might just stop a Toa from claiming their kill for that night…. Cannot protect against Takanuva.

 

THE TOA

Gali x1 – Active from Night 1. Gali strikes through the door to the east.

Onua x1 – Active from Night 1. Onua strikes through the door to the west.

Pohatu x1 – Active from Night 2. Pohatu strikes through the door to the west, but moves too quickly for Lewa to protect his victims.

Tahu x1 – Active from Night 3. Tahu can pick which door he attacks through each night, making it harder for Kopaka to stop him.

Takanuva x1 – Active from Night 4. Takanuva strikes at random, and cannot be stopped by doors. If Tahu dies before Night 3, Takanuva takes his place and can kill two players each night.

[Quisoves Potoo]

Goodness, Voltex is turning into Portalfig.

[Voltex]

Goodness, Voltex is turning into Portalfig.

 

I thought we already decided I was Portalfig when I referred to y'all as y'all back in XXV

[Quisoves Potoo]

 

Goodness, Voltex is turning into Portalfig.

 

I thought we already decided I was Portalfig when I referred to y'all as y'all back in XXV

 

Quid? I refer to y'all as "y'all." 

 

 

oh my giddy aunt

[Ghidora131]

Well.
 
There's a thing.
 

Quid? I refer to y'all as "y'all." 


oh my Ghiddy aunt

 

Hey I ain't nobody's ant

[Voltex]

Oh god

 

We've all been Portalfig all along!

[Nato G]

What madness is this?

[fishers64]

You all are insane. 

[Voltex]

You all are insane. 

 

well, you're here, so...

 

...you are too.

 

HA

[fishers64]

But I used you all. This makes me exempt. 

[Voltex]

But I used you all. This makes me exempt. 

 

nonsense

 

nobody is exempt

[Quisoves Potoo]

In the words of a venerable Doctor Who tome, they say the first sign of madness is talking to your madness.

[fishers64]

In which case talking to Voltex makes me mad. 

 

I knew this long ago.
