This is an invitational game with 100% pre-ins. The player list is as follows:













This game will use the incredibly well known setup. Most of you have played this at several meets, but I'll explain it in full below for those who haven't.

The roles in this game are as follows:

2 Vanilla Townies
12 Mafia Goons

This is not a typo.

, they do not die. Instead, their role is revealed, and they will be required to submit 11 kills to me by PM. If one of those kills is on the other Vanilla Townie, the game ends with a mafia win. If all 11 kills are on scum, the game proceeds to day 2, with 1 scum remaining and both Vanilla Townies. At this point the players play out an ordinary 3 player endgame, except that the Vanilla Townie who got lynched on day 1 will obviously be confirmed innocent.

, they will die. Before that, they are required to submit kills on 10 of their mafia partners to me by PM, and then to confirm one of the Vanilla Townies as innocent. After the kills happen, the players play out an ordinary 3 player endgame, where one of the Vanilla Townies has been confirmed as innocent.

The game will have 1 week deadlines for each day. On day 1, there will also be a 72 hour grace period where nobody can be lynched. The game will have started and players can talk and place votes, but anyone reaching a lynching majority will not die. If a player reaches a majority during this period, then goes back below a majority before the 72 hours elapse, they will remain alive, even after the grace period.

Since some of you have never played this setup before, I've provided a few hints on playing it, from my experience:

1) If you're Mafia, you will have 11 partners to help you in the pregame chat. You don't need my help.

If you're Town...

2) Don't treat this as you would most games. You're not really looking for bad guys, you're looking for that one Townie who's on your side.
3) Even though this is a fast paced game, use the time you have. Since the mafia can lynch whoever they want on day 1, there's a good chance a Townie will need to make a lot of vengekills. If it's you, you don't want to be shooting in the dark.
4) Don't avoid posting. If your fellow Townie has to kill a bunch of people, they need some reason to think you might be town.

Apologies to anyone who finds these things obvious. I'm just aware that the learning curve for the setup can be steep, and I want everyone to have a good game!

1.) This game is a day start. Day 1 will start when everyone has confirmed by PM.
2.) During the day you can vote for a player that you think should be lynched. Votes should be in the form , but I'll count votes if the intention is clear and there's bolding/some attempt at bolding. Unvotes before registering a new vote are helpful but not required. Note that any attempts at fake votes will be frowned on, and most likely counted anyway. Don't try it.
3.) When a player reaches a majority of votes, they are lynched. I will reveal their alignment, and the game will move into the killing phase. The thread will be locked during this period.
4.) All days have automatic 1 week deadlines. During day 1, a lynch may not occur until at least 72 hours into the game. If day 1 ends without a lynch, town wins.
5.) No talking to other players, dead or alive, outside of the thread, unless your role permits it.
6.) Once dead, you stop posting. A bah post is fine though.
7.) If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
8.) Anyone not posting for 48 hours is proddable, though I'll sometimes wait until 72 hours depending on circumstances. Players who fail to post promptly after being prodded may be replaced. I also reserve the right to replace people who are within activity limits but who are trying to find loopholes, but that's only for extreme circumstances and I hope not to have to use it.
9.) I'll try to post votecounts as often as possible. Feel free to ask for a votecount at any time. Disappointingly, I may make mistakes. Point them out very gently.
10.) Avoid excessive profanity, flaming etc.
11.) Don't quote any PMs from me. Don't try to break the game using cryptography.
12.) Have fun!

You win when every member of the mafia is dead. Please confirm by PM.

Yo.

Lmao

CDB are you scum?
Probably

Let me open this game by saying how much I love you guys. The meet was awesome, I still have so much energy because of it and although I was scared I'd forget things (we did ) the pictures have helped refresh and relive. I miss all of you lots, and I hope we'll have a fun game together here! <3<3<3

I'd been so busy that I forgot how much I missed you all. Realising that really put the meet into focus. It was one of the great weeks.

Yeah, it was really great. <3

I'm looking forward to finding an opportunity to attend the full meet eventually

the meet was all llama no drama it was good

as opposed to this game which will be all drama no llama

Hit or miss. I guess I never miss, huh?

Yo. Mafia is dumb.

Since we don't really have any time to mess about, I'm going to start this game by saying that I'm one of the townies.

The other townie should check in with me. We are not going to win this game without trying to make a connection (I have a plan for this).

o/

I'd love to hear about your plan.

hi

Oh god oh god. Oh god. This game.

I’m a townie. CES what’s your plan?

I realize that calling it a plan might be a bit of an exaggeration.

But I also don't think the other townie's posted yet.

I am town.

Terrified of posting tbh, I don't know how to game.

cpol, are you scum?

claiming town is for losers. lets galaxy brain this.

I did a pbpa and came to some troubling conclusions.

It would suit me if you were the other townie, CES, but I feel believing it involves some wishful thinking on my part. I get that it's uncharacteristic for you in forum mafia to answer this, but how do you feel?
