Posts from Mafia: general discussions. Auto-translated

Revan, ahem. Then you could even get a lawyer. There just aren't enough people right now. We need a few more.

Actually, in the previous game, Am threatened to punish editing posts with a modkill. In my opinion, that was fair.

Ar, I wrote it first, read it, and only then sent the message. At least in the Mafia, one should get used to doing it this way.

If I wrote something incorrectly, made a typo, and as a result, the meaning was distorted, then I quote myself, indicate that I meant something else, and clarify what exactly. That's it.

OK, I'll try to improve. I'll do my best :P

P.S. Maybe someone could copy all the roles from that Mafia game that Amko used as a basis for ours here, and we can discuss and choose them right here.

Ar, here are the roles, there are thousands of them.
Presumably, everything could look like this (14 people):
Town:
Sheriff 1
Doctor 1
Sergeant 1
Ordinary townsfolk 4
Bum 1
Whore 1
Mafia:
Boss 1
Lawyer 1
Mafioso 2
Neutrals:
Manic 1

Suggestion for the GM: it would be really great if the hints were given correctly, meaning that their meaning could be understood, but they wouldn't directly point to the murderer. For example, in my first post, I mentioned that Cash could be a member of the Mafia because he has a little dragon in his picture, and the rag is a scarf; in the end, that's exactly what happened. I wouldn't want to be bombarded with criticism just because the victim was bitten or bled dry))) But it's also not a good idea to make the hints too vague.

people, but I have an idea! (although, because of it, the game might take longer...) In short, shouldn't we make a prison (that is, instead of executing the defendant at the beginning, they are put in prison, and when they are one hundred percent sure (or rather, if the defendant has not proven his innocence...)) they execute him!)))
What do you think? :))

Revan, hey Vik, we need to take units from the map that Am played on. There were Blood Brothers, a commoner suicide unit, and others.

Basically, shouldn't we create a prison (meaning, instead of executing the defendant, we imprison them at the beginning, and only execute them when we are 100% sure (or rather, if the defendant hasn't proven their innocence...)))?

And then, sympathetic citizens will start flocking there with gifts, and they'll begin writing petitions to the mayor, asking him to show mercy and release the honest person on bail)))
Or maybe we should give the mafia weapons with half-empty magazines, so they can't be sure whether they'll kill their victim or the doctor will save her?) And we can present the maniac with an inflatable axe - after all, he's a maniac, so he should not only commit atrocities but also make people laugh to death at night.;)

Well, I think minor errors can be fixed... because, for example, "победоят" doesn't look quite right.

Blood Brothers – 2 random players are blood brothers; killing one of them at night will cause the other to receive additional night defense. They must search for the killer – if they find the killer, they will kill them; if they find someone who is not the killer, they will let them go in peace. Hanging one of the blood brothers during the day will cause the other to turn into a vengeful maniac – with the goal of killing everyone (their personal goal is the same as that of a regular maniac), but they cannot be healed by a medic, killed by an inquisitor (like a maniac), or accepted into the Order of Death. The only way to get rid of them is to hang them or kill them. They know each other (that they are blood brothers) and can communicate. Oppressed Citizen – one of the townspeople. If no one votes to execute him during the day, he will commit suicide. For the town. (Note: voting for himself will not save him). I want these ones. And also this one. Spreader of the Plague. Night defense: infect [name] (can infect oneself) – there is a 50% chance that [name] and everyone who visited him that night will be infected (the chance is calculated separately for each person) – including the killers, with the plague. The infected person has 2 nights to be cured; otherwise, they will die. It is forbidden to talk about the infection in the thread; in the morning announcement, the herald will tell about the cases of infection if there were any, but will not say who was specifically infected. The infected person has a 50% chance of infecting the person they were targeting. Personal goal: 5 people must die from the plague – they receive a personal victory, and with it, the effectiveness of the infection increases to 75% in all cases – the goal is to infect everyone except those who have immunity.

Maf can simply be given a certain chance of failure. For example, 1 in 3, and if the kill fails, the GM simply describes it (i.e., it's not necessarily that the bullet was rubber, but perhaps the victim was sleeping peacefully when the Maf approached. The victim was dreaming of some heroic dream in which he/she was fiercely wielding a sword in a heated battle. The victim repeated the actions of the dream in reality with their hands, as a result of which the Maf received a painful punch in the face and dropped the weapon, the victim woke up, and the Maf, in order not to reveal himself, simply ran away, and so on). I didn't understand about the infection... Name?

I didn't finish reading it, maybe there are no spots left :( - but please include me too! if it doesn't take up too much time...

Zubr... well, I didn't quite understand it myself. This role is from another Mafia game, and it seems to have its own designations and abilities (immunity to disease).

Here's another interesting role, in my opinion (it can be used as a replacement for the regular Commissar). "Reviving Commissar – he cannot be killed by any attack during this turn."

And this might be useful for the neutrals as well. "Ruthless. Twisted marksman. Only spares ordinary (without special abilities) honest citizens; otherwise, he destroys everyone with pleasure."

Here's how it could all look.
Town.

1. Sheriff: An independent marksman from the team of honest citizens. Knows the Sergeant and can communicate with him.
Night Action: Once per night, he can either check or kill (his choice) any player. If the check reveals a serial killer, he kills him.
Weapon: firearm
Side: Town
Status: Good

2. Doctor: A worker at the local hospital. Night Action: Can attempt to save any selected player (except himself) from being killed.
Weapon: none
Side: Town
Status: Good

3. Townsperson: An ordinary, peaceful citizen with no special abilities. There are several of them.
Weapon: maybe slippers
Side: Town
Status: Good

4. Homeless Person: No different from an ordinary townsperson, but has a "bad" status, even though he plays for the Town.
Weapon: none
Side: Town
Status: Bad

5. Sergeant: Knows who the Sheriff is and knows the statuses of the players checked by him. He cannot check or kill himself, but if the Sheriff is killed, the Sergeant becomes the Sheriff.
Weapon: firearm
Side: Town
Status: Good

6. Whore: An ordinary city prostitute.
Night Action: Blocks special abilities. For example, by pointing to a member of the Mafia, she can prevent them from shooting.
Weapon: none
Side: Town
Status: Bad

Mafia.

7. Godfather (also known as "Boss"): The head of the city's criminal organization. At night, like all other Mafia members, he can kill. Has a "good" status when checked by the Commissioner, even though he plays for the Mafia. Knows the other Mafia members and can communicate with them.
Also has 50% protection against any attack. If the attack is prevented, the attacker dies.
Weapon: firearm
Side: Mafia
Status: Good

8. Mafia Member: A regular member of the Mafia, can kill at night. There are several of them. Knows the other Mafia members and can communicate with them.
Weapon: firearm
Side: Mafia
Status: Bad

9. Lawyer: A Mafia lawyer. Does not participate in killings.
Night Action: Recruitment - can recruit (change sides) a Whore or a Homeless Person if the check reveals them. If he attempts to recruit the Sheriff, the Sergeant, or the Serial Killer, he gets what's coming to him, i.e., he dies.
Weapon: none
Side: Mafia
Status: Bad

Neutrals.

10. Serial Killer: A loner who wanders the city at night and kills people according to his own whims.
Weapon: anything his imagination allows (within reason)
Side: Neutral, plays for himself
Status: effectively Bad, but it doesn't matter, because if the Sheriff checks him, he will die.
