Posts from Мафия 6. The Will of Swamps

D’un ”inconvйnient d’кtre nйe”
j’ai puisй ma force.
Vous кtes ma force.
L’unique voyage.
Vous m’avez tant donnй.
Avant que l’ombre… Je sais.

Setting: a lonely village from the Middle Ages, forgotten in the depths of the swamps; but nothing is eternal, and its former peace was shattered by a pompous inquisitor and his retinue, who thirst for glory and the destruction of the undead. This place is restless: as night falls, death comes from the depths of the marshes, and village sorcerers whisper of witches who wish to destroy the inquisitor, but despite all these troubles, someone else still disturbs the villagers...

About the Game

Characters are divided into groups, namely:

Village

Blood Call

Shadows of the Swamps

Sabbath

Spy

Rules

•The optimal duration of the night is 24 hours, but the sooner the GM receives all night actions from the players, the faster dawn will come. At night, no one has the right to write anything in the game thread at all, even in "deleted posts".
•The duration of the day is usually determined as 24 hours, but by decision of the GM, the day may end earlier.
•To vote in favor of someone's execution, you must write a phrase in bold in your post; the default version is: "**execute %username%**". (the method of execution can be invented yourself - within reason). If a player risks changing their vote, they must perform a vote cancellation procedure ("**Do not execute %username%**"), and only then vote for another player (In 1 message, you can vote once and cancel a vote once, or cancel a vote once and vote once). This is for the GM to make it easier to track votes. If you do not vote in bold, the vote will accordingly not be counted. Furthermore, a vote will not be taken into account if it is made without minimal justification. If a player does not vote during the day, after the limit expires, they are considered to have voted against themselves (this rule does not apply if the player voted and then withdrew their vote). If a player fails to vote 2 times in a row - modkill or replacement. If a player warns of their absence in advance - the situation is coordinated with the GM individually.
•Execution requires a majority of votes. As soon as a player receives a majority (for example, with ten players, the majority is six) of votes, an execution will be carried out after 24 hours; however, if the decision is made without appeal, the execution occurs sooner.
•If the majority vote "**Do not execute anyone**", then the day ends without the execution of players.
•All "double votes" are displayed only in the voting results and only if they pertain to the majority.
•The Mafia's decisions on whom to kill and whom to send on a mission are made collectively. If one of the mafia members is not Online, the other participants may make a decision without them, but they do not have the right to send that member on a mission.
•Church servants also have only 1 night action: status check or protection.
•Clues about killers in reports are given based on the user profile (nick, avatar, signature, etc.). If the murder was unsuccessful, the killer will find out, but will not know why it was unsuccessful. Clues are not given for failed murders. Reports also contain a hint about the role of the deceased.
•The killer can also plant 1 additional clue at the crime scene. It must point to them and be original (i.e., do not leave clues of the "for the super-observant" variety). These clues will remain at or near the crime scene in any case.
•During the game, it is strictly forbidden to change your nick, avatar, signature, or personal information. Therefore, update your profile in advance.
•Discussing the game outside of this thread (i.e., in DMs, ICQ, etc.) is allowed only if you have a role that permits it.
•As soon as the news of your death/execution has been written - you are gone; consequently, you no longer participate in the game, which means further writing is forbidden, although nothing stops you from observing.
•Try to write without errors immediately; specifically, try not to edit your messages.
•If you have the right to perform a night action – do so before the end of the night phase and the start of the day phase (send NAs to me via ICQ).
•From time to time, the GM will post a tally of all votes for the current game day; however, players are also allowed to keep track.
•If you have questions regarding the rules or if something is unclear, please contact me via ICQ.
•It is forbidden to directly reveal your own role or the role of another player (if you know another player's role, do not shout it everywhere... be smarter, craftier...). This action will lead to immediate disqualification.
•Violation of rules and being offline will be punished by modkill. If you signed up, play by the rules and stay active.
•Those not participating in the Mafia are forbidden from commenting on events until the end of the game. Well... at least do not comment in this thread.
•A player who has not voted after 12 hours of the game day is considered to have voted against themselves.
•And most importantly... it's a game, after all. The important thing is that you have fun.

Sign me up as number 12.
P.S. and let everyone update their avatars (if anyone still has old ones).

Ugh, it's all so complicated. How can, for example, the "Spectator" and "Swamp Shadows" factions win? It's complicated, but I'll sign up just in case.

The Swamp Shadows represent the third force, playing by its own rules, and to be more precise, it's generally an element that disrupts the mafia's plans, a sort of observer – it can randomly spoil things.

Number 4....

#15 please))

As always, I got number seventeen ^^

Sign up under #1.

Write under No. 7.

The Swamp Shadows represent the third force, playing by its own rules, and to be more precise, it's generally an element that disrupts the mafia's plans, a spy – it can randomly ruin things.

Well, the idea is that since they support different sides, they can win... although I don't know.
I just don't understand what the artist does:smile43: Does he see the murderer or something?

Yes, it's all a bit confusing, and with so many "ordinary" units (as many as 7!), it feels a bit bland. But let's see what comes of it:rolleyes:. I'm signing up as number 11. P.S. Before the game starts, here's a suggestion: let the Necromancer turn enemies into fools more often; turning them into fools once every 3 nights is pointless...

KostyaN, what if the undead figure out the mafia?

The artist sees only a part of the crime, namely the version interpreted by the master.

Added after 12 minutes
P.S. If you want, I can replace one peasant with another maniac).

no, we don't need a maniac) it's better to have another faction
P.S. I've set an avatar for this faction.

Number 13 :smile08:
