Axilus Prime

I see now why JL made certain comments when he was host. There is so much confusion and I have to resist the urge to clear it all up because doing that would aid one side, and that would be unfair.

Detective and Medic have sent their PMs. If the Mafians finalize their plan of action before the 48 hour mark, the post will be up early. This system will carry over to all night phases, so the players do not wait around doing nothing when all the decisions have already be made. As of yet, the Mafians have not chosen to go this route. Daytime phases, however, cannot be shortened, for obvious reasons.

I'm ready to join this forum! How 'bout you?! Welcome to 343iCF, Emile.

All roles are selected, and all PMs are sent. The game has begun. It is Night 1. You have 48 hours.

Ok, it looks like no one wants the last spot. Who wants to begin?

Halo 3 did do that. It was Halo 2 that made you have to find it again.

We now have enough players to start, though it hasn't been so long that waiting for three more signups would be a pain. So, we will start now if 7 out of the currently 12 players want to. If not, we will wait.

Delpen is added. However, a handful of you have expressed your feelings about this game and doubts about what I said in my last post. While I still believe that system can work, it hasn't been tested and proven here, and this must have come as a shock. I apologize for any disruption this game may cause your plans.

Except there is no point, because I can't yoink them no matter what I do. They can still host another Mafia game as soon as they want to, even if this one is still going, and have it be played simultaneously by the same people playing this one.

The games are usually played by the same set of people at the same time. That means if someone were to open up 4.0 right now, the same people playing this game could sign up for 4.0 as well and play both at the same time. You don't need a larger player base for that system to work. Added. Though I usually refer to people by their most recent name when adding them, you namechange so much I'll just list you as JL.

On another site, usually three Mafia games are usually running simultaneously at any given time. That is why I did not wait. Actually, that's also why I didn't call this Mafia 4.0. On that site, there is the main lineage of Mafia games, and then two side games existing outside the main lineage. The side games are not numbered, the main lineage is. Being a side game doesn't alter gameplay in any way other than a different host would see fit, but it is specifically because I was making it clear this violates no one's right to host as soon as they want to that I did not call this 4.0. Anyway, added all of you. DarkAngel, you're on spot 2 because Caboose called spot 1 right before you did. Vaulting Frog, I might do that. EDIT: And by the way, DarkAngel used to be Yang. Just so you all know. That new name threw me off. A lot.

Well, some of you have asked, so here it is. Mafia's return begins now. JL's told me there were other plans to bring back Mafia, but since they've been slow in coming and some of you wanted me to do this, I made it anyway. To JL: On BZP, multiple Mafia games run simultaneously. That can address all the issues you and any others may have with this. With that fact in mind, I am incapable of taking someone's "spot" by any means. And now, shamelessly copypasted with some modifications to (hopefully) ensure this game doesn't turn into a scrapfest like the last one did, here are the rules. --- HOW TO PLAY Mafia is a game of Civilians against Killers. The Mafia are the killers; the Civilians are innocents. Now, the below will be a list of the factions, their roles, and then a run through of a single 'round', from the start, all the way to the beginning of the next. Each round should last 4 days, of 48 hours 'Day' and 48 hours 'Night'. FACTIONS Pro-town - This team wins by lynching all Anti-town roles. Pro town roles include: 9x Civilians - Each daytime, you may vote to lynch one person listed in the suspect list. Your role does not include anything else you can do, but you may PM other players in an attempt to figure out who is who, pass information, etc. 1x Medic - Each night, the Medic may choose another person they can prevent from being killed. During they day, they may vote to lynch one person listed in the suspect list. 1x Detective - Each night, the Detective may look at another person's identity and figure out their role. Anti-town - This team wins by killing all Pro-town roles. 4x Mafians - Each night, the Mafia votes on player that they will kill. They also pick one of their own to do the deed - that person, alongside 3 other random players (Max 2. Anti-town) will be placed into the suspect list. Note: If you are a civilian, you will not receive a PM when the game starts. If you are the Medic or the Detective, I will send you a PM that you must respond to ASAP. If you are a Mafian, I will send you all a group PM, and I will need a response ASAP. ROUNDS 1. The game begins during nighttime. The Medic will PM the host (me) stating the player they wish to protect. The Detective will PM the host stating the player they wish to investigate. The Mafians will PM me stating the person they will kill, and the person they will send to commit the deed. 2. The nighttime scene will be posted by me after approximately 48 hours, showing the results of all the roles and their actions. I will give a suspect list if a person has been killed, and then daytime begins. 3. All players may now vote for the people listed in the suspect list. After 48 hours I will tally up the votes and thusly write the hanging scene where the player(s) with the most votes are killed. 4. Daytime is now over, and nighttime begins again. The next nighttime begins the next round. RULES - You may screenshot anything you wish and post it within the thread. Images can also be edited to help you in your plans. - You may PM other players in your attempts figure out other roles, and further your own plans. If you day, please include me so I may see your planning, but there is no need to. - You may accuse other players of roles within the thread and out of it, or lie. - You may reveal, or fake your role. - You may not use information within this game to help you in things out of the game, e.g. "I'll tell you my role if you give me a 48 hour gold trial." Trust me, I've seen it happen despite how silly it sounds, and it didn't look good. - Do not request me for a role. - You may not under any circumstances intentionally aid the enemy team. - You may not under any circumstances use staff or mod powers, whether they are yours or someone else's, to aid your team. - All dead players will have their faction and role revealed publicly. - Ghosts (dead players) can do everything they could in life except vote and use role powers. --- PLAYER LIST 1.

If we don't have enough players after a long time, we will begin with a smaller number of civilians. Let's bring back our game, people.

That's good. Simply because I liked that post didn't mean I was in favor of an enmity between you and Twin, or anyone for that matter. I have no interest in typing up paragraphs upon paragraphs of text on the matter when you have made it abundantly clear that your mind is made up on the subject and cannot be changed. It would be a waste of time and effort.

Wow. Twin just slamming the OP like that. That was cool. Jaw actually dropped when I saw the map data in the actual post.

Brigadier. After that there weren't any armor pieces I was interested in anymore, so I didn't bother trying to increase rank.

I'd say Thel would win. Ripa only lost because of his arrogance, a trait Thel does not share with him.

Yeah, I'd like that. How up close it would feel, seeing yourself perform the assassination in first person. And don't get me started on the shock value of being assassinated in first person. Seeing a hand suddenly clamp down on your visor, then everything just swings violently, and then you see a Spartan's head, darkened by shadow with the light behind it, staring down at you for a split second before a thin silver object strikes your screen and turns it white. When the white clears, you're dead, looking at your corpse in third person.

Hmm. Another reference to whatever happened one era ago...interesting. And wow. Boss stood up to Ranger...like a boss.
