XXIII Mafia: Tag Team

[Lenore]

 

 

     Well, Godfather, it seems our time has come. I have finally finished my preliminary investigation. Counting your esteemed self, your two lackeys, and I there are twenty Matoran left.

     The Detective is still alive and to make things worse he seems to have graduated from medical school. This means he can investigate and protect at the same time, but his rusty bicycle only lets him follow one Matoran each night. Of the fifteen Matoran left, eight are utterly unremarkable and can be ignored for now. Three have armed themselves and are prepared to kill anyone with hostile intent. Another three possess impressive criminal records and might be persuaded to join us. The last one is somewhat disturbing. I cannot term this one anything other than a Maniac. Strangely enough, the Militia, Piraka, and Maniac all seem to think they are regular Matoran. This does make finding them rather hard, but I feel certain that it will prove no trouble for me.

     For ease of reference, I have included a condensed list of the different roles and the names of all present. I have not been able to link the two lists together, but I will update them regularly based on my investigations and current events.

 

Insincerely, The Private Eye

 

Role List:

Mafia: (wins by killing the Town)

-Godfather x1: Head of the Mafia. Should you die I will do my best to take your place.

-Private Eye x1: I couldn't resist creating an entry for myself. As you know I will observe a player each night and deduce whether they are hostile, neutral, or even friendly. I am also your second-in-command and will take over should you die. 

Mafioso x3: A pair of rather dull brutes if you ask me. All they do is follow orders and shoot people. And stab, poison, burn alive, poke, hang, bludgeon, and occasionally electrocute.

 

Town: (wins by killing all the Mafia)

-Detective x1: A slippery fellow. My investigations have turned up nothing but a forged medical degree from a disreputable institution of higher education. But all the same I must admit his deductive skills are greater even than mine. Players he investigates are also granted temporary protection from us. If investigated by me they will show up as Hostile.

-Matoran x9: Boring. These players are about as normal as it gets, except for the persecution mania. If investigated by me they will show up as Neutral.

-Militia x4: Rather than react as they should and cower at a hint of danger before randomly lynching some innocent, these fools have decided to fight. They will kill any Mafia-affiliated players who try to kill them (unless the only remaining players are either Mafia or Militia). If investigated by me they will show up as Hostile.

-Piraka x4: These Matoran could prove quite useful to us. Should we succeed in finding them I feel confident they will join us. If investigated by me they will show up as Friendly.

-Maniac x1: An utter psychopath with selective amnesia. The Maniac can be Patriotically Insane, Criminally Insane, or Sane at any given time. While Patriotically Insane, they get an extra vote and act like Militia. While Criminally Insane, they have no vote and act like a Piraka. While Sane, they act like a normal Matoran. The delicate state of the Maniac's mind also renders investigation useless.

-Only one vote change per Day scene. You must also list who you are switching your vote from.

-This is a game, so don't take things too seriously. Discussion and debate are encouraged, but arguing is strictly prohibited.

This means that we get no less than twenty-four hours per round, right?

[Lenore]

Yeah. I doubt rounds will go for longer but sometimes my internet cuts out and I never get cell reception.

technically he could post a scene every hour if he wanted to, since that's what the rules say

 

it's a very clever loophole for the host

 

I'll have to keep it in mind for the future

 

(and just to clarify, no, this post is not me signing up. i'm not playing, sorry not sorry)

[Lenore]

Hahaha too bad.

 

I do like loopholes. This way nobody can complain if I'm a little bit early or late.

[Quisoves Potoo]

Hahaha too bad.

 

I do like loopholes. This way nobody can complain if I'm a little bit early or late.

So the 24 hour thing is just an estimate?

 

I don't mind that, as long as I'm forewarned. I just don't want to operate under the assumption that I have a fixed, minimum amount of time, when I actually don't.

[Hitoshura]

Any spot please

[Lenore]

Two things I noticed:
There are twenty roles, including the PI. There are twenty slots, and you're not on the player list. Either you're hiding something from us, or you got the number of slots, or players, wrong

 

Secondly, "The delicate state of the Maniac's mind also renders investigation useless." Does this mean that he shows up as is dependent upon his current insanity? What happens if the Detective investigates him?

Does the title have any relevance to the gameplay? I must be missing something in the post

I'm pretty sure the Private Investigator is a player role, not a role for the host. 

[Chro]

The post (and scenes, I suspect) are written in the first person from the perspective of the PI although the PI is not actually the host

Correct.

It just refers to how Piraka start out on the Town's side but can be recruited by the Mafia.

I guess the Detective will have to find out. 

[FrozenFlash]

So, if the PI is the narrator, who's gonna narrate when they die?

The PI's creepy ghost, obviously.
