Challenge 7: A Mob Has Formed
« on: July 12, 2020, 05:04:00 pm »

The commissioner dropped the latest crime statistics on my desk this morning, and it looks like there's been an uptick in murders in Little Italy.  The Organized Crime Task Force has been spread pretty thin lately, so I've told them that you all are volunteering to help them out.

Here's how this will work.  When you are ready, fill out THIS FORM.  It will take you to a transcript of a Mafia game.  This is a four-player game with two Mafia Goons and two townies.  It is nightless, and players do not flip when they are executed.  Two players will be executed. Once that happens, the alignment of the FIRST person executed will be revealed.  At this point if both living players are town they win. Otherwise all dead townie must choose who they think the other townie is.

You will read Day 1 of the game and predict the executed player's alignment.  Then you will read Day 2 and predict that executed player's alignment. You will then be told the alignment of the player executed on Day 1 and you will predict who the townies are.

The tribe who provide the most correct answers will win immunity.

Jossnote: This challenge was designed (and the Mafia game within was ran) before the site policy change on the word "lynch".  As such that word will crop up a lot.  Also, the original thread for the Mafia game has been moved into the admin-only area of MS so don't bother trying to find it.

Clarified the rules.

People has asked what happens if both executed players are townies.

Say both townies get executed.
A and B are town, X and Y are both mafia and are alive.
The mod says "A was... town!"
Now A and B both pick who they think the other townie is.
B obviously picks A, because he got mod confirmation.
A has to decide if B was indeed the townie that got powerexecuted by the mafia, or if the Mafia are being crafty.

It has come to my attention that some of you do not venture onto the Mafia sections of the website.

You may discuss GENERAL MAFIA STRATEGY with your tribe if you have not done the challenge. You may not discuss the specifics of this setup.

You have the right to scream your head off. Should you give up the right to scream your head off, someone who will scream their head off... will be provided for you.
