Mafia 17. Blood Omen.
Prologue:
In one of the many small towns located far to the west, life went on as usual. The priest had once again managed to absolve the sins of an orphan thief who stole bread from one of the shops; the boy had been caught by the armorer and taken to the church. A young nobleman was seducing another visiting beauty with his fascinating stories and bright compliments, not forgetting to wink at other ladies along the way. A street musician filled the city streets with enchanting sounds of music using his instrument. A healer and his assistant delivered medicines to sick townspeople...
But ordinary city everyday life was interrupted when a rider appeared in the square. He dismounted from his horse and began to speak:
- People, listen to me! Not far from the city, I discovered two corpses. They were pale, and there were fang marks on their necks!
Unrest immediately broke out in the crowd; everyone began to whisper, some even hurried home.
- These are spawn of darkness come for our souls! - the rider continued.
- Hey you, stop scaring the people. - a guard addressed him.
But the rider had no intention of stopping: - Save your lives before the vampires suck your blood!
- Take him away from here! - the approaching captain of the guard ordered his subordinates. They immediately grabbed the rider by the arms and dragged him away.
- Townspeople, pay no attention to what this man has said! If there is any threat, we will deal with it. - the captain reassured the townspeople. - That's all, now go home...
A few days later, the city was full of rumors not only about vampires, but also about a night beast that tears its victims apart and a hunter who arrived in town to exterminate all the same filth. Once a calm and peaceful town, it began to turn into a gloomy place where there is no room for trust and mutual aid. Panic and fear took control over the minds of the residents. People stopped leaving their homes in the evenings and began to treat each other with suspicion. Dark times had come...
Game Rules
• The game begins with night. At night, players send ND according to their role (if you decide not to use ND – notify the GM, otherwise it will be considered offline and may lead to a modkill), the GM must confirm receipt of ND. The sooner the GM receives all ND, the earlier day will come.
Night limit is 24 hours; after this, ND are not accepted. At night, no one has the right to write anything in the game thread, even in "deleted posts".
• Day lasts exactly 24 hours. In extremely rare cases, an earlier or later end of the day is possible.
• To vote for someone's execution, you must write in your message: "**execute %username%**". (the method of execution can be invented by yourself - within reasonable limits) - bold font is mandatory. If a player wants to change their vote, they must perform the same procedure of canceling the vote ("**Do not execute %username%**"), and only after cancellation 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 font, the vote will not be counted. Also, a vote will not be counted without minimal justification.
• Execution requires only a majority of votes. If a player reaches the "required" number of votes, they will still be hanged only after the end of the day and only if the votes do not change.
• If the majority vote "**Do not execute anyone**", then the day ends without executing players.
• All "double votes" are displayed only in the voting results and only if they belong to the majority.
• For the Mafia, decisions on who to kill and who to send on a mission are made collectively. If one of the mafia members is not Online, the other participants can make a decision without them.
• The killer can 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). As for the complexity of these clues, there is quite a lot of freedom, but the GM still reserves the right not to accept a specific clue, with or without explanation.
• Hints about killers in reports are given based on the user's profile (nick, avatar, signature, etc.). If the murder was unsuccessful, the killer will know, but will not know why it was unsuccessful. No hints are given for failed murders, except those declared by the killer themselves. Also, there is a hint to the role of the deceased in the reports.
• During the game, changing your nick, avatar, signature, and personal information is strictly forbidden. Therefore, update your profile in advance.
• Discussing the game outside this thread (i.e., in PMs, 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. Changing the profile is forbidden.
• Do not edit your messages. Try to write without errors from the start.
• Modkill (in rare cases - replacement) is performed:
- In case of a gross violation of rules or a repeated minor violation.
- If during the game day a player does not post, while not notifying the GM that they will respond in the thread on the next game day
- It may be performed at the player's request in case of any circumstances under which the player cannot take an active part in the game.
• If you have the right to perform a night action – do it before the end of the night phase and the start of the day phase (send ND to me via ICQ). I will not wait. If you didn't make it – alas...
• From time to time, I will post the count of all votes for the current game day. Of course, this is important. For me and for you. Players are also allowed to keep a count.
• If you have questions about the rules or something is unclear, please contact me via ICQ.
• It is forbidden to reveal your / someone else's role, or its elements, as well as information obtained through them, in public places or among players who are not in the same group as you. The same applies to information about other players. Phrases like "well and I know something else about him that I can't say" - a violation, regardless of whether you actually know something or are lying.
Statements such as: "I checked", "according to my information, which I cannot disclose", "I know for sure" - etc. are forbidden. Unargued shouts like "he is MAF!", "I am Peaceful"! and so on are allowed.
To avoid violating this rule, try to frame your thoughts as assumptions or as IMHO, based, for example, on hints or behavior.
• It is permitted to refer to rules, the GM, own posts, or posts of other players, as well as any external sources where you dug up some info on hints.
• First night immunity (impossibility of killing a person possessing it on the first night of the game) is given to the following participants:
- Those killed on the first night in the previous game.
- The leader of the previous game.
- Новичок (players playing "Mafia" on our forum for the first time).
- Players who missed three or more previous games.
• Advertisements can be submitted to the newspaper (mention the text of the ad in ND). Ads can be submitted in any volume, and any information can be written, including false. A banal example: "Vegtam has a bad status". Any signature (whichever you specify). Limit - 5 ads per player during the game. One message can be written per day.
• Those not participating in Mafia are forbidden from commenting on what is happening until the end of the game. Well... at least do not comment in this thread.
• Vampires can perform only one murder per night.
• An eliminated player whose role is hidden remains silent about the game until the end. They have no right to write on the forum or to anyone in PMs about their role. Also, remaining participants have no right to write to them about what role they possess. All discussions of roles are possible only between eliminated participants. Anyone violating this rule may be barred from the next game!
• And most importantly... it's just a game. The main thing is that everyone has fun.
All ND, questions and suggestions should be sent via PM or ICQ (390-439-236). It is preferable for everyone to add me on ICQ and communicate through it.
