Since I got confirmation that the planned games were cancelled, this is the next one. However it has H5 spoilers and the discussion topic is not marked for spoilers so RSR said I should post it separately. I present to you...
 
 

Mafia: Spartan Edition

 

The Situation:

As the UNSC Infinity flees Cortana and the Guardians, a handful of AIs have managed to get in via remote transmission. With safeguards recently installed to prevent unauthorized AI interference, they were unable to hack anything save for one section of the ship: the one where the safeguards had not yet fully installed. The Spartan Deck. They quarantined the deck immediately, blocking any exit or entry. Their next move was possess empty Mjolnir armor and falsify records to blend in with the human Spartans. In this state they sabotaged all the biofoam projectors used for ally revival...and finally, they depressurized the section of the ship, leaving it a vacuum. The medical facilities were all sabotaged, from the healing equipment to the bio scanners. Forced to wear their suits at all times to survive and realizing too late what was going on, the Spartans had no way of discovering whether someone was Spartan or AI except by removing their helmet...and that, of course, would expose an AI by revealing their suit was empty...but if a true Spartan was unmasked, the vacuum would violently tear them apart.
 

The Rules:

As you'd expect, the standard Mafia procedure is followed. The game begins at night. Every night, the AIs will kill a player of their choice, decided in their group PM. The Detective will Artemis scan someone, the Medic will run to someone's side expecting to have to revive him. The Vigilante will try and target an AI if he can. It is then day. Since electronic voting would leave the votes open to hacking, the Spartans vote by ballot on who they suspect of being an AI. That person will then have their helmet removed, a lynching. And the cycle repeats until all of one side is dead.
 

The Roles:

12x UNSC
 
9x Spartans - With their biofoam projectors sabotaged and no special equipment, all they can do is cast their votes.
 
1x Detective - With a prototype version of the Artemis Tracking System that takes 24 hours to process one scan, this Spartan can direct a scan for bio-readings on anyone. If there are bio-readings, it's a Spartan. If not, an AI lies within that empty suit.
 
1x Medic - Though the biofoam projectors were sabotaged, one Spartan knew how to fix his. He only had the resources to fix one though, leaving himself as the sole defense for anyone downed by the AI infiltrators.
 
1x Vigilante - This Spartan goes out once a night to kill someone he suspects by his own hand. Unfortunately, sometimes he is wrong. In addition, he can only do it twice.
 
4x Created
 
1x AI - Possessing only ordinary equipment, they can only vote. They didn't sabotage their own biofoam projectors, but since using them on each other obviously isn't possible, and they don't want to revive any humans, they're useless to them.
 
1x Leader - When targeted by a lynch, kills one person who voted for him. When targeted by the Vigilante, the Vigilante will die. However the Leader in either case still dies with the person he takes down.
 
1x Juggernaut - Stole the last overshield module for himself. As such, he has two lives.
 
1x Saboteur - Stole the last active camo module for himself. As such, he can invisibly mess with the votes, and so once per round, he can change the vote of another person secretly. He can also vote normally.
 
1x Sangheili
 
1x Elite Ranger - An ambassador who came on board the Infinity and happened to be talking with some Spartans when the section quarantine was forced upon them. Everyone knows he's not an AI, but is he loyal to his human allies, or does he believe that Cortana's plan for the Mantle is actually a good thing? Either way, whatever side he chooses to aid, he can assassinate a player once every two rounds.

Vigilante is too OP. With the small pool of players we have right now half of them would be dead by round 4. I think it should be shorted to having the option to kill a max of two different people, and only once per round. After that they get no more kills.

 

I don't know how I feel about the Ranger getting a kill every 2 rounds since something like that hasn't been done before. Usually the Sniper gets to kill every 3 rounds, and that usually works just fine.

 

Everything else checks up.

Why not have the Mafians as Prometheans, and maybe have an Engineer (the giant blobby flying thingies, whatever they're called >.<) as something else? Maybe a Jailkeeper or something like that?

 

If there was a jail keeper it would stretch the population out too much. As lets be honest we are going to have to cut down on numbers and I would not be surprise it also turned out neutral was cut later down the line. :)

Caboose - Because RSR suggested it anyway out of courtesy to people who still haven't finished the campaign.

 

Kakashi - Destruct warned me of this already and if we can't get 21 I'll knock down the player count accordingly.

 

Yang - Because Prometheans would never blend in with Spartans in the way this premise suggests, and have no helmets to remove. They also definitely wouldn't fit in Mjolnir armor. Destruct suggested a Huragok being added but I decided against it because (as Caboose said, actually) it would stretch the population too much. We can't have too many special roles unless we have around 25 players. I did want at least one neutral element though, so I put in one that could survive in this vacuum.

 

Destruct - The second game to have a sniper. You can go back and check, I remember it was one of the original JL games.
