Introduction

The sun is shining. The birds are singing. Barbecues. It's the best time for outdoor recreation, traveling, parties, etc., but for some people, things have suddenly gone to hell. Panic is all around; students are hunting professors to whom they owe 20 labs. Some still hope to postpone the submission deadline until June. Straight-A students are overloaded with requests but can't refuse anyone because of their kindness. Activists have also felt changes in their lives—the dancing parties are over, and now they need to do something academic for the sake of propriety. Slackers remembered that, as it turns out, they are still studying at the university and should hurry up and pressure the straight-A students even more. Professors realize with fear that soon they will have to see the "fruits" of their labor. Some, hoping to avoid a long date with the same old failures, suggest grading based on attendance. As a result, the class representative has gained 20 new close friends. How do you survive another exam session, state exams, and a thesis in such an environment? Where can an ordinary student find salvation? Fortunately, there is still a place where they are ready to cherish and nurture a student, even if they've been expelled. The military enlistment office is happy to take care of everyone offended by the unfair and cruel education system. The doors to this homey, warm, and cozy place are always open. In short, the student won't be lost. It remains only to see how many masochists will actually survive the coming session...

Set

Student Irritants

Group Features: they know each other, can communicate.

Professor
Sometimes doesn't even know what he is talking about. Believes his subject is the most important, even if he teaches philosophy at the physics faculty. During an exam, he feels like a Caucasian shepherd.
NA: Expulsion
Status: Non-student

Potatoes
Forces the student to go to the dacha instead of preparing for the session. Often becomes the reason for a failed summer session.
NA1: Block (blocks the NA of targets for one night, if any; deprives them of voting rights the next day).
NA2: Expulsion (can be used if the professor is dead).
Status: Non-student


Students

Class Representative
Possesses unlimited power within their group. Can replace half the group during a lesson by shouting "I" in different voices while the professor is questioning.
Feature: Double vote (if desired).
NA: status check
Status: Student

Nerd
With their heroic deeds in class, they allow other students to relax. A fountain of testosterone. During the session, they become indispensable.
NA: Salvation (saves their target from expulsion if it threatens them during the current night).
Status: Student

Slacker
Many classmates don't know who they are. Usually appears at the university only twice a semester—at the beginning of the year and for the exam.
Status: Student

Victim of the Pillow
This student is not a slacker; they're just unlucky. Their pillow possesses a stronger gravitational pull than other students'. Often misses the first few classes or arrives at the end of an exam with a dazed look. If they do manage to make it to the first class, they succumb to the remote action of their pillow and adapt the desk into a bed.
Status: Student

Activist
Does not attend classes and does not prepare for exams because they are confident they will pass everything anyway, since they are an activist. Instead, they spend all their free time dancing in the university hall.
Status: Student

Joker
Another indispensable member of the group. During lectures, they can catch the moment when the professor tries to joke and starts laughing like a horse. For this, they get an exam bonus. They can also make a joke during class that makes the whole group laugh. If the professor laughs too, they get another exam bonus.
Status: Student

Academic Leaver
Like the Slacker, almost never appears at the university. Can take academic leave an unlimited number of times, and in every session, repeatedly move their only passed credit back to the same session before the first academic leave was taken. Takes the phrase "Live and learn!" too literally.
Status: Student
DEAD

Consolers
Military Commissar
Ready to console and support any expelled student.
Feature: protection from the first attack.
NA1: Kill (once every 2 nights)
NA2: Redirection (can redirect to themselves)
Status: Non-student

A bit about the GM
  • The GM is always right and .
  • GM is MasteR. If you have questions regarding the setting's content and balance—congratulations, you have activated one of your organs that had been oppressed during your time at university.
  • NAs are sent to the GM personally (either via forum PM or vk.com).
Code of Conduct
  • The night lasts 24 hours plus the time it takes for the GM to get distracted from their thesis or return from a party and write the newspaper. But since this version of mafia is shortened, and there are very few NAs in it, I believe that everyone will decently and as early as possible (but not like students submit labs) send their NAs, which will make it possible to close the night much earlier than scheduled. Writing in the game thread at night is forbidden (except as a support group, but without any hints of help to those playing). The day lasts until the moment the GM announces the end of the day.
  • Those killed are forbidden from disclosing any information obtained through their role. Disclosing one's own role is also undesirable, even if everyone has already guessed it. Don't kill the intrigue.
  • It is forbidden to explicitly disclose your role, other players' roles known due to role features, as well as information obtained via a role. Execution is formatted in bold font as "execute that guy". Cancellation of execution is formatted in bold font as "guy, I was joking". Clues are given based on the killer's profile: nickname, avatar, signature, registration date, and any information about themselves placed in the profile. A hint about the killed person's role is also provided.
  • NAs must be sent every night while you are alive. If you do not want to use an NA this night, write that to the GM so there are no unnecessary problems.

  • The mafia makes decisions collectively. If one of the mafia players is absent, their NA can be sent on their behalf.
  • Modkill or player replacement occurs in case of a gross violation of rules or total lack of signs of life during game days (day and night). Also, modkill/replacement may happen at the request of the player.

Immunity for the first night is granted to:
  • The GM of the previous game.
  • Those who haven't played on ХВ before.
  • Those killed on the first night in the previous game.
  • Those who missed three or more games on ХВ.
Play relaxed, and everything will be OK. Everyone will get maximum enjoyment from the game if everyone is active and creative. The topic is a sore spot for many; vent all your emotions here, everything that has boiled up over long years of sitting your butt in dusty lecture halls. Everyone who plays actively will pass their session with honors, defend their thesis without stress, and celebrate the end of the school year in style!
Game Rules
Read the roles and everything will be clear.
  • The actual number of votes is displayed next to the player who should be executed. In other cases, a number corresponding to the total players voting in the thread is displayed.
  • NAs cannot be directed at oneself.
  • Execution of a player occurs if more votes were cast for them than for others, and the number of votes is over 50%. In case of a tie, a re-vote may be called.
Victory Conditions:
  • Students: Professor, Potatoes, and Military Commissar are dead.
  • Student Irritants: military commissar is dead or blocked, all students are dead.
  • Consoler: only 1 player other than them remains alive.

Come on, you can barely see anything there)

Okay

By the way, what do you guys think, should we add more random events and special features to the set, or leave everything as it is?

Okay, Jass. Light setting.

At least make some circles, will you?

Noted.

Well, then it will probably be like playing as the Dungeon faction... Although, I'll think about it some more. Maybe I should scrap the Academy...

How? More students? In my opinion, five or six is enough.

No, I won't add any more. Otherwise, it will no longer be a shortened version of Mafia. I think in this situation, the Mafia players need to demonstrate their skill to win, which is quite possible. Or is the imbalance too great? Because if there are few townspeople, everything could be decided in 3 nights with a certain amount of luck/bad luck.

Or you could strengthen the Mafia by allowing the potatoes to vote along with the professor.

Got it. That was subtle trolling. Either way, a threefold advantage for the city is excessive.

Let's throw the professor into the furnace!

Look into his kind eyes. Are you really ready to expel this old-timer from the university? )
