[Guardian]

Mini Cult Mafia

You live in a really small town. There are 2 really evil mafia who want to kill you. There is also a cult.... Cult's aren't all that bad, right? .

[Guardian]

The Rules

1) I am infallible.
2) If I'm wrong, as I often am, let me know very gently. The best way to communicate with me is via PM.
3) Majority = lynch, 50% = no lynch.
4) No using stupid tactics that aren't allowed to try and gain an unfair advantage. Such tactics include: talking out of thread unless you are expressly permitted to do so; quoting anything I say to you in the thread; using forum code to hide posts or impersonate the mod (stay away from the color blue and the

tag); editing your posts; other things that common sense should tell you are against the spirit of the game. If you think something might violate rule 4, ask me before doing it. There is no end to the list of things that might violate rule 4; I'm not going to try and list them all -- but use common sense, and play mafia, not rule mongering.
5) Have fun & respect each other (and me) .

[Guardian]

The Setup

This game is an almost open setup. There are exactly three different factions: a 1 person (to start) Cult, a 2 person Mafia (possibly with mafia power role(s)), and a Town with exactly 2, 3, or 4 power roles.

Cult PMs:

You are the Cult Leader! Each night, you can send me a name of someone you wish to attempt to recruit in the cult, and at daybreak I will notify you if your attempt to recruit them is successful. You can recruit "vanilla" townies only -- mafia and pro-town power roles are not recruitable into the cult. You win if the cult is the last remaining faction in the game. You may communicate with your recruits at night, and the cult may communicate with new recruits for 3 days as soon as I let you know they are recruited.

You have been recruited into the cult led by XXXX. Current members of the cult are: XXXX. You no longer can win with the town -- You win if the cult is the last remaining faction in the game. You may communicate with your fellow cultists at night, and the cult may communicate with new recruits for 3 days as soon as I let you know they are recruited.

XXXX was sucessfully recruited into the cult!

The Cult Leader tried to recruit XXXX into the cult, but failed!

Mafia PMs:

You are the godfather of the Mafia -- this means you will show up innocent to cop investigations. XXXX is your partner. You win when the mafia is the last faction standing. Each night, you and your partner may communicate, and one of you must send in both a kill target, and a choice of which mafia member wishes to "make the kill".

You are a mafia goon -- you have no special powers. XXXX is your partner. You win when the mafia is the last faction standing. Each night, you and your partner may communicate, and one of you must send in both a kill target, and a choice of which mafia member wishes to "make the kill".

Town PMs:

You are a doctor -- each night, you may send me a name of a player and if that player is targeted for one night kill, then they will be saved from death. You win when all factions hostile to the town have been eliminated

You are a townie. You have no special abilities. You also have no special allegiances -- you win if all factions hostile to the town have been eliminated -- but if you are recruited into the cult, you win when the cult is the last remaining faction in the game.

Nights:
Night communication will probably be more important in this game than in some others. The game will start with day, but all nights will last 72 full hours to allow any factions that can communicate to communicate. Any choices not in to me by that deadline will either be randomized or counted as a no-choice, at my discretion.

Q&A
Q: Would a cult recruit inherit the cult leader's power upon death?
A: No

Q: In a 1-1 scenario with a cultist and a townie, would the cultist win?
A: Yes

[Guardian]

Roles have been randomized and sent out. Day 1 will start in 72 hours. Confirm your role by PM,

in the following format:

"I confirm that my role is X", where X is your role. If you confirm in a different format, I will require you to confirm again.

Mafia may communicate pre-game.

[Guardian]

All players have confirmed! Day one is almost upon us!

First, I'd like to thank Mr Stoofer for reviewing the setup, MeMe for running the queue, and all of you for playing! Enjoy!

Then -- three or so notes:
1) If a new cult recruit is NKed the night of their recruitment, they will show up town and win with town. This seems only fair, and I don't want people to be trying to get reads on someone who was never a cultist during the day.
2) I really like deadlines. I think they are pro-town, btw. I have decided not to do static deadlines in this game, but if I announce a deadline at around page 5, don't be surprised.
3) If you ever need my attention, PM me. I am very liable to miss things if not.
4) I will prod and replace lurkers somewhat aggressively.

You all gather at the local pub to watch the Indy 500. It looks to be a good race. But some of you are evil and should be lynched. So get to that .

With 12 alive, it will take 7 to lynch.

I informed Guardian before the game started that I wasn't going to follow that rule, I don't show respect to people I don't respect. That just doesn't make sense!

I checked all PMs sent from you to me and I have no record of this. If that is your stance, I apologize for confusion and have no problem searching for a replacement; this thread turning into a flame fest well not be tolerated.

It is possible to express disagreement with a player's logic or with the player's competency without resorting to profanity or unrelated ad-hom.


From now on, I am implementing a three strike system -- three strikes = replaced.

Flameaxe now has one strike, anyone else who is blatantly disrespectful/vulgar in subsequent posts will get one.

I have delved into adhom and disrespect in the past and I'll let you know it has never helped me in the game, and looking back I regret it. Shape up or ship out .

Kakeng

reached 7 votes, and is lynched. He was a

pro-town roleblocker

. No flavor after 45 pages and 43 vote counts.

Night choices are due by Sunday evening, day 2 will start sometime around then.

[Guardian]

You wake up to find that the Indy 500 is still on television. It's been 24 hours, and they are showing no signs of stopping. You yawn, and almost want to go back to bed.

That is, until you see the blood of

White, townie

, splattered all over your window. How can you tell he's a townie? How can you tell that it's White? How does this same experience happen for each of you? This game isn't real and doesn't have to make sense, that's how.

As you walk down your stairs, you hear a blood curdling scream in the dawn light. You are intuitively sure that

curiouskarmadog

was a victim to another killing... But something about his scream is off... something makes you think that he was the

Cult Leader

. And you are right about this.

Nine remain alive in your previously peaceful village... it will take five to lynch.

Flameaxe, with drool oozing from his mouth, was easily led to the fourth floor balcony by a group of you, His babbling cries were not heard as you pushed him off and his legs were shot up through his body, impailing him on the concrete.

I'm searching for a replacement for theopor_COD, who didn't pick up his prod. If there is any other action I need to take, let me know.

[Guardian]

If any of you have friends who might be willing to replace, feel free to PM them:

Title:
'Replace for Mini 500: Cult Mafia?'

Text:
'Hey, I am in Mini 500: Cult Mafia. It is day 3, 56 pages, and 6 players remain. The game needs a replacement, and I would love to play with you! If you would be interested in replacing, PM Guardian, the mod. This PM was approved by him.

Thanks!'


I will continue trying to find one myself, of course...

[Guardian]

MoS replaces theopor_COD. Thank him and welcome him (back)!

[Guardian]

No lynch (50%) occurs...

send in night choice, you have 3 days.
Day will start sooner if I get them sooner.

You all find

Oman, vigilante

, dead in a pool of blood. His gun is out of bullets, and his shooting days are over.

Day four, five alive means three to lynch.

December 30th.

This is retractable if you complain, but seriously?

[Guardian]

Iammars is your backup mod!

Thanks, treat him just like you'd treat me, and anything he says goes. !

[Guardian]

Hey, I'm back, deadline for noon EST on the 30th still stands.

Thanks Iammars for taking over -- I'll need a backup mod again if this game continues past the 30th.

In case of ties, lynching will happen on a first come first serve basis.

[Guardian]

I thought about doing a lot of flavor for this end scene. Maybe win a scummy or something.

But then I asked myself. Why Bother?

pwayne66 and vollkan, Mafia Goons both, win!

TH and tyhess, vanilla townies, lose.

MoS, lone cult recruit, loses.



I must say the mafia's play in this game was excellent. Vollkan PM'd me that they figured Oman was the vig Night Two, and Night One that they thought CKD was a good kill since no one was suspicious of him. Poor CKD, played the roll too well.

I was a little hesitant to let MoS replace back in because the mafia targeted him to silence him, but I think that as a mod policy, it is better to allow players with no information to replace back in.

I must say I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see the cult play any meaningful part of the game, but it was a good game of mafia nonetheless.

The mafia killed CKD, MoS, Oman
Oman killed White, tyhess.

Another game ends a day early because of an ineffective Vigilante .

Thanks for helping down the stretch Iammars.

Thanks for playing guys, sticking with it, and in some cases replacing back in to help the game out. I hope you enjoyed it!

Thoughts on the setup? My Moding? Random things? I'd love to hear it .
