 CharactarantulaTopic: Roadhouse Mafia
Roadhouse Mafia Haha, alright folks. I'd been planning on starting this up for quite awhile now. Cae and me were trying to come up with a better name, but we were unsuccessful, so we're stuck with Roadhouse Mafia. Basically, Roadhouse Mafia is a game that'd be played (depending on the amount of people) over a couple of days/weeks. People need to sign up before we start playing, and no one may join during a game in progress. So let me know if you want to play, and I'll add you to the players list. The more people the better, and we need at least five to have an even semi-decent game, so we'll see what happens. If it works, great, if not, then whatever. Roadhouse Mafia is a game where you cannot trust anyone. Your best friend could be your worst enemy, and that person you're pegging as the psychotic murderer could be one of the few people trying to protect you. At the beginning of the game, after all contestants have signed up, I will private message each individual person informing them of their role. The roles are either a Mafia member, the town sheriff, the local doctor, or just your ordinary townsperson. Each of them can play a serious role in how the game unfolds. The Mafia are informed of who the other Mafia are, but everyone else is clueless. The goal of the game for The Townspeople is to eliminate all the Mafia. The goal of the game for The Mafia is to eliminate all of the Townspeople. And things can get sticky, so watch your back. Round Layout: The game is played in rounds, and in each round two people are eliminated from the game. One is murdered by The Mafia, and one is hung by group vote. The rounds basically look like this: The Mafia collaborate via private message (PM) and decide on one player that they would like to murder, or eliminate from the game. After they've come to a group decision they then PM me what their verdict is. Meanwhile, The Sheriff has the choice of investigating any player in the game. This means that he/she can PM me the name of one other player, and I'll tell them whether or not that person is a member of The Mafia. Also, The Doctor has the ability to attempt to save one other player. He/she does not know who The Mafia have attempted to murder, so they're taking a shot in the dark. They can also choose to save themselves, in case they believe that they were the target. After I have received private messages from these three people, I then announce it via post on this thread. I will inform all contestants of who The Mafia made a murder attempt on and whether or not The Doctor was able to save said person. If The Doctor picked the right person, then no one is eliminated and the game goes on. If The Doctor picked the wrong person, then the man/woman that was attacked by The Mafia is eliminated from the game. This is what that may look like: "Last night, there was a tragic accident here at The Roadhouse. A dear friend of ours, Jake (Charactarantula) was in a dreadful accident. He went missing and didn't show up for work at the bar yesterday, and suspicious rumors were floating around as to his whereabouts. This morning, he was found tied to the back of a rusted up Ford pick-up truck. He was apparently dragged for miles behind the vehicle, losing multiple limbs as the psychotic, and still unknown, driver booked it down a local highway until nothing was left but an almost unidentifiable pulp. Our local doctor was unable to reach him in time, and he has, sadly, passed away." I'll be trying to come up with the most horrifically violent deaths that I possibly can and describing them in detail, so you'll have that to look forward to. From here on, the entire thread is opened up to debate. I'll set a time frame, and by the end of that time I will need a group vote (majority wins) on who everyone thinks is The Mafia. This person will be eliminated from the game. This is where The Townspeople can really come into play. If you're a great manipulater, tug on those strings and play the group like a fiddle. If you're The Sheriff, maybe you got some information that could help the group out. Well, you might want to be discreet about that, because The Mafia are certainly looking for you. This is really where the game shines and you can have a lot of fun by screwing everyone over. After everyone votes, I'll tally it up. Whoever has the most votes will be hung, eliminating them from the game. However, this person will be allowed to say some last words (whatever they want, with the exception of if they were mafia, doctor, sheriff or townsperson, that says secret.) Whether you want to use this opportunity to tell some people off, or screw some people over, is up to you. Use that wisely, because it's your last post in this forum. The round offically ends when I declare that a new round has begun, and the process repeats itself until only The Townspeople are left, or only The Mafiaare left. I'll talk to Dolvich and see if we can hook the winner/winners up with a nice trophy. :D The Rules: There are a few rules I'd like to go over really quick: 1) Telling people what character you are IS NOT prohibited during a game session. I, as the GM, am the only person who actually knows what you actually are, so as far as everyone else knows, you're lying. It is, however, prohibited to tell people what character you are after you've been eliminated. That stays secret until the end. 2) Once you've been killed off, do not interfere with the game. Don't post in debates and loan your opinion to people (In PM or in this thread!) Respect everyone else. It's honesty policy, cause I can't catch you for whispering secrets to each other via email. 3) No personal attacks, it's a game, folks. 4) Alliances and the what-not are encouraged. You trust someone enough to secretly tell them what you think through private messaging and the like? Be my guest, just watch out because you could shoot yourself in the foot and not realize it. 5) Keep your eye on the thread. If you're going to participate, you need to be at least somewhat active, and if you're a key character and I never get your message, I will spin the story and have you killed. | #1 Sep 11th 2008, 7:08pm .
