I've played Mafia with friends before, but never on a forum. This is a lot more complex, but I'm up for the challenge. I've read through a previous game, too. This'll be fun.

Welcome benjer3

Hope you will like it!
PM me for any questions you might have during the game.

P.S.: Please note that day has 24h and night has 24h unless specified otherwise, so that everybody has one or more chances to be on, regardless of time-zone. So the feeling might seem different from real-life mafia at first, but I think it will become more familiar after discussions begin day 1 (and later)

Thanks. Looking forward to it.

Wow, lots of new players! (Or people I've never played with before.) Good to see new faces either way, though! Welcome and good luck, you guys!!!

Thank you

A couple of explanations/clarifications (I'll carry them over to the game thread once signups are over):
- First, Dominion (baddies) have a night-kill (forgot to put that )
- about vote-manipulators: Picard can make a vote (any vote) count x0, x1, x2, Dukat can make a vote (any vote) count x0, Sela can make her vote x1 or x2. Vote-manipulators are multiplicative and can interact - e.g. Picard makes A's vote x2 and Dukat makes it x0 then it's x0. Picard makes Sela vote x2 and Sela makes her vote x2 then Sela's vote is actually x4.
- Odo appears as a random Starfleet if spied by either LaForge or Weyoun.
- Odo only joins Dominion BTSC if he chooses to side with Dominion in N1 and he is spied by Weyoun in any night (including night 1).
- Female Changeling changeling ability is steal&gather ability. So each night she can choose to either to A) steal X's ability OR B) use a previously stolen ability. Regardless of the choice, she still appears as a random Starfleet if spied by LaForge (or Weyoun but that makes less sense).
- Picards invulnerability at night is for Dominion night-kill, Thomas' kill, Ometiklan kill. He is still vulnerable to RID Kill.
- Picards invulnerability at night cannot be stolen (but First Ometiklan's shroud ability can be)

Just a few questions about roles:
Does the order of actions mean that a later action cannot affect the results of a previous action?
Does Sela have a choice to RID kill or normal kill if her conditions change?
Does the Founder target a person or a role, and can she use acquired day abilities?
Who is Omet'iklan's target if the Founder is killed at night?

CP's back.

Good to see you again.

Glad you ask.

Does the order of actions mean that a later action cannot affect the results of a previous action?

Pretty much. It says in which order the actions are evaluated by the host - trap being the first.
Trap > RID Kill > Save > Redirect > Kill > Block > Oracle> Steal action > Spy/Follow.
E.g: If someone submits an action but was the target of a trap, his action is discarded since the trap is executed first. Saves protect from a Kill but not a RID Kill. Traps protect the victim of a Kill /RID Kill, etc.
Each game has its own order / rules set by the host, so nothing should be assumed unless explicitly stated.

Does Sela have a choice to RID kill or normal kill if her conditions change?

Nope. If she loses her initial targets she goes into a "murderous rage" - that is why RID Kill is replaced by a "blind" kill.

Does the Founder target a person or a role, and can she use acquired day abilities?

Founder targets a person, not a role. Practically, everyone targets a person.

Who is Omet'iklan's target if the Founder is killed at night?

Yeah, I left it kinda ambiguous, sorry about that.
He is a bodyguard of the Founder. So if Founder is targeted by X with a Kill (or a successful RID Kill) and Omet'iklan is still alive (not trapped), then Omet'iklan will die instead of the Founder and kill X /take X with him.
So more accurate would be: "If the Founder is targeted for a successful kill / RID Kill then Omet'iklan will die and take the attacker with him. The Founder will remain alive."
And in the unlikely event that the Founder is targeted by a kill AND a RID Kill the same night, then Omet will kill the RID-attacker (since that action comes first) and die leaving the second attacker able to kill the Founder.
