Mafia: The Game [Dentro Il Cuore Oscuro]

Recommended Posts

This is Mafia: Dentro Il Cuore Oscuro. Registration is closed, so anyone wanting to join will have to wait until the conclusion of this game.

The game will commence as soon as the roles are determined. PMs will be sent to all Specials shortly thereafter. The Special roles in this game are to be determined. One townsperson may receive the Med Kit at the beginning of the game as well, though this player is technically not a Special. If you do not receive a PM, you are a Townsperson.

Here are the rules. Credit to Master Radishes for almost entirely coming up with this introduction and rulebook himself.

NOTE: Not all roles mentioned in the rules will be in this game.

RULES:

Introduction

Mafia is a game of strategy, trust, intuition, risk, and luck.

It is a game between two factions battling to the death for victory. Everyone is either a Townsperson or a Mafia. The Mafia know each other's identities, and work together in a group – once a night, they select a Townsperson to kill. The Townspeople do not know each other's identities, but must debate during the day who might be the Mafia among them, and then vote for someone to lynch. They must root out the Mafia through any information they can gather. There are often special roles that can assist the Townspeople, such as a Sheriff, a Doctor, etc. The winning group is the group left standing when all other members of the opposition have been eliminated.

History on CDC

Krazz introduced the game of Mafia on White Noise way back in 2008. Games were run in sequence for quite some time, during the initial heyday of Mafia on CDC. But eventually the games died off as interest waned. Fortunately, over time, Krazz and others (notably T-rex930) have re-booted Mafia several times, allowing players old and new alike to experience the game again and again.

Factions

There are two main factions: the Townspeople and the Mafia. Each side's objective is to eliminate the other. In addition, there is often a Serial Killer role, which is unaffiliated with either side and seeks to be the last player standing.

Roles

Aside from the two competing factions, there are some special roles that usually appear in the game as well, helping one side or the other. Please note that not all roles will appear in every game. The standard roles include:

Sheriff – The Sheriff is a Townsperson who can investigate one player per round. He will send a PM to the GM with one name; the GM will then inform the Sheriff if that player is Townsperson or Mafia.

Doctor – The Doctor is a Townsperson who can choose one player to "protect" during each night. If the Mafia try to kill that player, their kill will not go through – he or she will be saved by the Doctor. The Doctor may only self-save himself twice per game. The Doctor's save also only applies to one kill attempt per target per round - if, for example, both the Mafia and Serial Killer target the Doctor-protected player, the first attempt will be "saved" but the second will successfully eliminate the targeted player.

Vigilante – The Vigilante is a Townsperson who can kill one person each night. By the end of every round, he must send one name to the GM, and the player he names will be killed prior to the beginning of the next round.

Serial Killer – The Serial Killer is unaligned with either major faction. The Serial Killer gets one kill a night. He does not win with either TP or Mafia – he only wins if he is the last one standing. Although often a difficult role to win with, it hashappened on several occasions.

Kingpin – The Kingpin is the head of the Mafia. The exact aspects to this role can vary, but generally the Kingpin will get an investigative power every two rounds – he or she will select one name, and the GM will reveal if that name is a Regular Townsperson or a Special Role (i.e. Sheriff, Doctor, Vigilante). The Kingpin will also show up as "Not Mafia" to the Sheriff. However, the Kingpin cannot submit kills on the Mafia's behalf.

Twinblade - The Twinblade is a Townsperson who has a one-time ability to kill another player. However, the catch is that the Twinblade will die as well in their attempt.

Minor Roles & Game Elements

Lackey - Also known as the Roleblocker, the Lackey chooses one player each round to "block" them from performing his or her action. The target's action will not be performed - that is, the Roleblocker blocks the target's role from working for that round. The Lackey will not be able to block actions that target themselves (Sheriff investigations, kill, Med kit throws, etc. Much like the Kingpin, the Lackey shows up as a Townie when investigated but is aligned with the Mafia (thus, wins with the Mafia) and has no ability to kill. However, the Lackey may not be aware of who their Mafia teammates are (at the GM's discretion). The Lackey will not be able to block the same person/organization (a la Mafia group) on two consecutive nightfalls.

Watcher - The Watcher is a role similar to the Sheriff, in that s/he is able to investigate one person per round. Unlike the Sheriff, however, the Watcher's investigation will be based on if any "special" action was taken (such as a Sheriff investigation, Mafia/Vigilante/Serial Killer kill(s), Med Kit passes, etc.) onto the target (in a sense, if anyone "visited" the player) and by whom. The Watcher will be able to investigate themselves to see if any action was taken on them and by whom. If multiple actions were taken against the investigated target, the very first action will be taken into account. The Watcher is aligned with the Townspeople and therefore wins with the Townspeople.The Watcher will not be told what kind of action was directed at the target, only who directed an action to the target. AKA, the Watcher will not be told:

Player A sheriff investigated Player B
