In the distant future of 2005, Earth has become the front line of an intergalactic war between 2 factions of alien machines - The noble AUTOBOTS, led by OPTIMUS PRIME and their nemeses, the vile DECEPTICONS, with their tyrannical ruler MEGATRON. Their war has ravaged the universe and severely depleted their numbers. Earth is the last known source of vital ENERGON, so it is here that they will fight their final battle to determine the fate of the universe. One shall Stand, One shall Fall.
Welcome to Warwick Mafia XI - Robots in Disguise!
Hello humans! As the custodian of Vector Sigma it is my duty to chronicle and share the history of the Cybertronians. A friend of mine told me about a game called 'Forum Mafia' and I thought it would be an fun and dramatic way to pass my knowledge on to lesser species! Forum mafia is played over a longer period of time than live mafia, and all communication is done by posting in the Game thread or on various quicktopics made around the game.
Signing Up:
At the time of posting, SIGN-UPS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE! They will open at 13:00 on Wednesday 23rd October. This is to give me time to spread the word to everyone who might be interested before all the slots get grabbed. To sign up, you will need an account on this forum, then just make a post in this thread (after 13:00 on Wednesday 23rd October) expressing interest in participating and send my human liason (Tom Hilbert) a message through Facebook or Discord containing the name of your forum account so he can confirm your identity for me.
Setup:
-This game will be for 16 players.
-The setup will be closed (meaning players will not be told exactly which roles/characters are in the game).
-All players will be given the role of a named Transformer, with appropriate abilities.
-All players will belong to either the AUTOBOT faction, the DECEPTICON faction, or possibly one of any number of neutral factions, should any exist.
-The AUTOBOTS will outnumber the DECEPTICONS, who in turn will outnumber any neutral roles, should any exist.
-The AUTOBOTS will win if all DECEPTICONS and EVIL roles are killed, or if OPTIMUS PRIME is responsible for the death of MEGATRON, either by night killing him or by providing the hammering vote.
-The DECEPTICONS will win if all AUTOBOTS and EVIL roles are killed, if MEGATRON is responsible for the death of OPTIMUS PRIME, either by night killing him or by providing the hammering vote, or if they are ever in a position from which it is impossible to lose.
-Neutral roles, should any exist, will have their own win conditions that they will be told along with their role.
Rules:
1) The mods' decisions are final.
2) Please ensure all votes are bold and outside of any spoilers - basically make them clear or they may be overlooked.
3) If any player receives a majority of votes, they will immediately be considered Lynched. You may still freely talk until I finish up the day and tell you to stop. The last vote to be placed on the Lynched player will be considered the 'Hammer' vote.
4) If no player receives a majority of votes before the day ends, or the No eliminate option does, then the day will end with no deaths.
5) Do NOT directly quote communications with the mods or with other players in quicktopics. Paraphrasing is acceptable. Additionally do not discuss the formatting of such communications, such as parts being underlined, coloured or bold.
6) Do NOT discuss the game with other players in the game/on the back-up players list outside of the game thread or any quicktopics you are a part of. I have ears everywhere, I WILL know.
7) Day phases will initially last 10 days. This will shorten as the game goes on.
8) Nights will last 48 hours. Unless otherwise stated you may not post in the main thread at night.
9) Please inform the mods via posting in the thread or direct messages if you are going to be inactive for a period. If you are inactive for 48 hours without warning, I will attempt to contact you outside the game to "prod" you. If I still see no activity after a further 48 hours, you will be replaced with the first player on the back-up players list.
10) You will be prodded a maximum of 3 times. After that I will immediately begin seeking a replacement.
11) Death is final, but a single contentless "I am become dead" post will be allowed.
12) Do not edit or delete any posts. That is mod business, and I won't appreciate you pushing into our turf.
13) This setup is most assuredly bastard.
14) Do not use encryption unless you have run it past me and I have okayed it.
15) No outside influences, trust tells, posting images to show you have a busy irl schedule etc.
16) Don't screenshot anything.
17) If you think something breaks a rule then ask.
16) Don't screenshot anything.
17) If you think something breaks a rule then ask.
18) I can change any and all rules as and when I please.
Feel free to use this thread or direct message me to ask any questions.
The game will start at 18:00 on Sunday the 27th of October
