The free market is fine, but it’s so...inefficient. A shame, really, but from that insight you quickly realized that with the help of a few others who shared your views that this is a turning point, a time of opportunity. Control of the marketplace can lead to all of your dreams coming true; given such a reward, it’s obvious that you’ll do anything to eliminate the competition -- permanently.

You are a

Mafia (Left Hand) Member

, along with your partners YYY and ZZZ.

Nest Egg:

You start the game with $150.

Wage:

At the end of every Day, you will receive $100.

Efficiency Bonus:

You do not receive an efficiency bonus.

Mafia Bonus:

At the end of every Day, $100 is split evenly amongst the living members of your team (any fractions are lost).

Insider Information:

You know that there is another Mafia team, and that you win with them. You do not possess a factional Night-kill; in order to kill, you must win the Night-kill auction.

Daytalk:

You may speak with your partners in the Quicktopic here at any time.

Insider Dealings:

Any money you spend bidding on auctions that are listed in red is counted as 50% more, rounded down. If you win the auction, you are refunded 66% of the unused amount, rounded down. As an example, if you bid $50 on

Night-kill x 1

, it is treated as $75. If you win for $40, you will receive (($75 - $40) * 0.66) $23 back.

Dirty Tricks ($$$):

You have a number of dirty tricks at your disposal. Each Night, each member of your team may perform one of these (if desired); however, each Dirty Trick may only be performed once per Night. The first Dirty Trick is free; each subsequent use costs $25 more (so the second Dirty Trick costs $25, the third costs $50, etc). Dirty Tricks are not treated as targeted abilities; they cannot be roleblocked, and will not appear on Tracker or Watcher reports.

• Wire Fraud:
  Name two players, a transferer and a transferee. Any money that the transferer would transfer to the transferee during this Night will instead go to the member of your team who used this power.
  
• Lockout:
  Name a target player and a current auction. Any bid made by the targeted player for that auction is cancelled and treated as if it had not occurred. The targeted player will be notified of this only if they bid on that auction.
  
• Countermeasures:
  Name a target player, a targeted ability name, and a target. If that player attempts to use that ability on that target during this same Night, it will be roleblocked.

Shell Game ($$$):

At any point during the Night, you may spend $50 to transfer some or all usages of one of your abilities amongst your team as desired. They may be used by the recipients that same Night.

Money:

Each Night, you may spend any or all of your money on the following activities:

• Bid:
  Bid on abilities being auctioned off in the marketplace. Described in Section III.
  
• Transfer:
  Choose another player. If that player is on your team, they will immediately receive 95% (round down) of what you transferred. Otherwise, they will receive it the following Night (note that this is a different rate than the Entrepreneur’s Transfer).
  
• Advertise:
  Influence what abilities will be auctioned off in the marketplace the following Night. Described in Section IV.

Fakeclaim:

The Entrepreneur Role PM is posted in the thread. If you give me specific game mechanics, I will write the relevant PM for you incorporating those elements with proper flavor and styling. In addition upon request I will verify that your math for fake wages, auctions, transfers, etc complies with all publicly known rules.

You win with the

Mafia

: You win when all the players alive have the Mafia win condition, and there is at least one player alive.

As a service to you, the valued player, I can set up a QT for your personal use instead of PMs. Let me know if you wish to take advantage of this offer.

The game thread is here. In order to confirm, please reply to this PM with any advertising you wish to do (if any). After everyone has replied, the game will proceed into Night 0.
