This is an interesting little forum game that I'm sure there's plenty of interest for here.

Basic rules are as follows:

The game basically revolved around there existing two factions: Town and Mafia. The goal of each faction is to eliminate the other faction (or factions if there are many mafia gangs).

Roles for each player will be randomly assigned (by the moderator or me in this case.) When you received your role you are not allowed to communicate with each other unless your role allows you to do so (mafia members are allowed to communicate only at certain times.) Theres nothing I can do to stop you but in the spirit of the game, don't do it.

Each game starts with day (some start at night, but it'd gay...you'll see why). During the day all players can communicate in the thread and vote to lynch a player...majority vote gets the axe (cannot be undone with unvotes). After a lynching occurs the game goes to night, where no one can communicate in or out of the thread except roles that allow you to do so. During night mafia members can communicate and choose a target to kill. Once they submit their choice the game is thrown into day again. Process repeats until a faction is eliminated.

It can be a bit complex to start with, but it's fun once you get the hang of it.

And before you complain about the mafia having the obvious advantage - yes they do, but they're also heavily outnumbered at the start of the game. As a general rule the ratio of mafia:town is 1:3.

So, a quick overview of the roles you could be thrust into:

Mafia
Works together to try and kill off all members of the town. Can communicate at night. Chooses together a target to kill at night. Ruthless and cruel are their nature. Wins against town.

Town
Generica player. No night skills. Just a bunch of ordinary citizens.

Cop
Can investigate a player at night for information. Their sense of justice makes them suited to their job. Wins with the town.

Anyone that's interested in signing up, I'll give you a few days to do so - this game will start sometime on Saturday.

EDIT: When you get your roles, they will be modified to be Sonic-related. Stay tuned.

Id like to be a ravenous zombie!

...what? >_>

[General Throatstomper]

This sounds interesting. Sign me up.

I can cover things up really well.

...Well, not really.

But detection never was a problem for me. Of course, by finding out who is in the mob, I expose myself, though the very act of existing does so. So I shall clearly be massacred in either scenario.

[magnum12]

Sounds fun. Sign me up.

[Taillow]

I saw you mention this in IRC.  I'm in.  And are you selecting who gets what randomly?  And I guess the mafia decisions and cop investigations are done in PMs

[yse]

Yeah, I'll select everything randomly. It's not really fair otherwise.

[Aitamen]

I'm in!

[douglas]

I know this by the name of Werewolf (Townfolk = villagers, Mafia = Werewolves, Cop = Seer) and in fact I've got a PHP version of my own knocking about somewhere; if you lot want to play this often I'll dig it out.

Also: I'm in.

[Stefan]

I'm with you on this Douglas - I've played pretty complex games before involving the mafia and werewolves and a whole bunch of crazy roles.

But a simple game is always fun too. :P It would be nice to play. Sign me up.

[Shadow Wedge]

Sure, I'll sign up. And yeah, I mostly remember this game as called SPLAT! on LUE.

I knew exactly who was mafia too... I just wasn't playing >_>

[yse]

Okay, I'm starting now.

Game Rules:

[01] Votes must be in bold (eg vote RPG). If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
[02] Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but I’d appreciate it.
[03] Lynching will require a simple majority of votes (This includes no lynch). Once a player has reached the necessary majority, their pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. Feel free to post in twilight though.
[04] No talking in this thread at night.
[05] The game is not to be discussed outside the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so – and then only at night.
[06] Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. You can make a single “Bah!” post but no relevant information.
[07] No small text. Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts either.
[08] Don’t quote any PMs from me. If you do, I will destroy you =P.
[09] If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you. You miss the deadline, you miss out.
[10] Feel free to correct any errors I make (eg vote counts). If you don't it's your fault.
[11] If you have any questions at all, please PM me or post the question in the thread.
[12] Remember, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun. Be nice to your fellow players and in the spirit of the game play fair.

I'll be informing you of your roles in the next few minutes. For those who haven't played, it's wise to not tell people what your role is.

[Bilan]

HEY! HEY! You drafted me you douche! >_>

Ah, what the Hell, Ima kill j00 all <_<

[Stefan]

Was that a threat, RPG?:O

Vote : RPGNutter

[yse]

Whoa, what? I hadn't started yet.

Aw, what the heck.

Day 1

The residents of Station Square awake to what appears to be simply another day... until they all receive the following letter:

Mwahahaha! I have returned from the brink of death once again to terrorise you all! With my sidekick, Eggman Nega, I shall crush you all like bugs! We shall kill you off one at a time, each day until you submit to the Eggman Empire!

Signed, Dr. Ivo Robotnik

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Cream decided to take action. They agreed that they would go on another adventure to destroy the two evil scientists once and for all. But will our heroes emerge victorious, or will the two Eggmen get to them first...?

[magnum12]

Vote: douglas *Fortifies home to protect from ambush.*
-Question: How do we find out if any of the players is an ally (for any role)?

[General Throatstomper]

Who to vote for...

And how to play it?

The more I say, the less likely I am to live.

Vote: Douglas

[Stefan]

Usually, you don't tend to know exactly who your team members are because if all the innocents know who else is innocent, then the bad guys are automatically exposed.

[Taillow]

I'm voting Douglas.  Not because Magnum did, but because I was gonna do it in the first place.  No offense.

[Stefan]

There are so few players that we kind of have to reach majority early or let the eggman crew pick us all off. I guess I'll go with the flow on this one..

Unvote: RPG
Vote: Douglas

[Bilan]

I was going to vote for stefan but eh >_>

Vote douglas :O

Also, mike, question. What is I DO surrender to the Eggman Empire? >_>

[yse]

That's synonymous with a forfeit, so if you want to do that by all means do.

Day 1 result

The heroes vowed to stick together. Strength in numbers, they figured.

As they weaved their way through Leaf Forest, Amy began to fall behind. Just as she stopped to take stock, Eggman Nega appeared.

"Mwahaha! Your time is up!"

And thus, Amy was eliminated.

The remaining four made it through the rest of Leaf Forest and Hot Crater with no further incident, before stopping to rest and prepare another assault the next day.

Our heroes have to be stronger than ever now. Can they survive the constant threat of the Eggmen?

It is now Night 1 - all players who need to make night decisions should do so in the next 24 hours.

[douglas]

Oi, what'd I do ffs?

Vote: magnum12 (retaliation)

[yse]

You're already dead, you twit. Besides, its night.

[douglas]

Didn't read the thread proper like :(

[yse]

Night 1 result

The two Eggmen collaborated while the heroes were asleep, deciding they should take out the star, Sonic. They decided he was the greatest impediment to their chances of defeating the entire crew, so they'd destroy him while he was weak. At the stroke of midnight, they struck...

Our heroes woke up to find Sonic unconscious. Declaring him dead, they moved on without him, knowing this day would be critical to their survival...

RPG (Sonic) killed Night 1

It is now Day 2 - 4 to lynch today.

[Aitamen]

I didn't think he was giving himself away... obviously he wasn't...

hmm...

Vote: Magnum

gut feeling I'll go with

[Shadow Wedge]

We have to lynch the correct person here, or else we lose the game. (They'll outnumber us tomorrow).

So with that in mind, I'll reveal that I'm playing the role of the detective (as described my mike89 in the first post), and that Quartz is, in fact, one of the Eggmans. I know I won't survive the night, but if we get a fighting chance, it'll be worth it.

Vote: QUARTZ

[General Throatstomper]

...You don't tell people your role.

I'm going to pretend I didn't read that.

Anyways, who voted before the game started? Who tried to assert himself in the name of good? Why else would he do that if he weren't an Eggman?

Vote:Stefan

Anyways, if we get at a vote lock (1 all), just go with a hunch and change your vote. But read the topic over carefully first and look for suspicious behavior.

[Stefan]

Though if you also read the first posts of the game there is no clear evidence that the game wasn't already started by the time that I posted that, but whatever.

But Shadow Wedge, I have to say, I don't believe you. First off, did Mike not say he would give all the roles a Sonic theme? So why would you  be called the detective if that was your role? I think you're just trying to throw suspicion off onto a false person so that you might win the game..

Vote : Shadow Wedge

[Shadow Wedge]

...You don't tell people your role.

You don't get it, do you? If we don't get one of the Eggmen today, then we lose two characters, and then it's 2v2 and we lose automatically. I'd rather we lose me and they lose one of the Eggmen and having a fighting chance instead of us losing two and losing the entire game.

So why would you  be called the detective if that was your role?

I'm not called the detective. I'm Cream. However, the role that I have is the detective (I'm not just a town person), so that's the important bit.
