unreality

No more Innocent killing roles, sorry ;D Vigilante (and Warlock) are all I'm going to have... I have to fine tune Mafia IV very carefully and make sure it is very balanced... still making tweaks...

yeah I was very mad about how easy it was for the Inspector to come out... Mafia IV will be different regarding that, that's for sure and that is a hint... so was an earlier Tman hint... but I won't tell you what the hints mean ;D you have to figure it out

hehe- I was actually thinking of making Itachi host if I ever wanted to play on brainden, if it's okay with him I'm still definitely hosting IV, though a LOT of stuff went wrong with III (Just like I, but different stuff), II was perfect but small, I'm trying to make it awesome for IV (and I really like my Awesomeville town, dunno why )

"...Grey Cells Grey Cells Grey Cells Grey..." He writhed as the executioners clamped chains on him, growling. "There's no checks and balances!" he shouted. "That's what Mafia IV needs! Some unrealitydamn checks and balances! You'll be sorry you ever lynched me and pw0nzd! The Mafia will prevail! No checks and balances!" He was still screaming "Checks and baaalaaaanceeeeesssss" as they threw him overboard, falling 30 feet into the canal, where he would never surface. "Fish food," muttered Itachi. "If there are any fish in these canals..." "Yeah, there is," tman cut in. "Plenty of freshwater variety." The crowd dispersed, excited that they had caught another Mafioso. Things were getting interesting, and the 4th night was fast approaching. *** Host: Unreality 1) Brandonb 2) pw0nzd - DEAD [Mafioso] 3) Frost - DEAD [?] Killed by Mafia 4) Itachi - DEAD [?] Killed by Mafia 5) akaslickster 6) kingofpain 7) Scott - DEAD [?] Killed by Vigilante 8) Grey Cells - DEAD [Mafioso] 9) Ravi 10) LIS 11) pieman 12) Nayana - DEAD [?] Killed by Mafia 13) Lucifer 14) dawh 15) johnson 16) tman 17) Ben Law - DEAD [Healer] 18) Ploper - DEAD [Desert Warrior] Dehydration 19) Cherry Lane 20) Itachi 21) dnae

he lie detected one of Ben Law's statements, something about Ben Law being useful, I told him TRUE but reminded him that Ben Law hadn't specified "useful to who" so it was basically wasted

there actually are sites especially for Mafia, but I think forum-mafia is the funnest by far ;D (I haven't played a computer-hosted one, but a human-hosted one is just so much better)

yes he did and oh I am allowing lie detection next game, but it's done at night

hmm, interesting. Except if it's YOU think that's true. Not sure. w/e lol... I've decided against the lie detection for Mafia IV, btw

I've made a few minor edits since posting that, still working on it...

my newest plans for Mafia IV: (though I may change the Atheist role to something else, not sure) Mafia IV Awesomeville is awesome, I couldn't resist returning... Baddies (and Vigilante) strike at night, while the Innocents try to lynch them during the day by majority vote RULES: 1) only play if you've read the rules, the roles, the strategy tips and most of Mafia II and Mafia III!!! You need to know what you're getting into. Nobody will be allowed to join late and nobody will be allowed to quit. YOU MUST BE ON AND CHECKING/POSTING/PMING/VOTING ABOUT MAFIA AT LEAST TWICE A DAY!!!!! 2) no PMing behind the scenes!!!! Not only is this one of the stupidest things you could do in Mafia (you don't know who you're giving your role to and who is asking for your role, etc), even if you do know another person's role (ie, Defender and Vigilante) you can't PM them behind the scenes. The only people that are allowed to are the Mafia, and they can only do it at night and with the living Mafiosos. If a majority of Quarky Agents go after the same target one night, the QAs involved can also PM each other. BUT NOBODY ELSE! Also all Mafiosos and QAs should CC me in their PMs, just so I know what's going on faster and can move the game along faster 3) again, make sure you understand the rules and roles. If you don't get something, that's okay, just PM me ROLES: 20 peope: 8 baddies, 12 Innocents baddies: * 4 Mafiosos (Godfather, Thief, Assassin, Bankroller) - the Mafia kills each night. The special abilities are useable any night but not 2 in a row * 3 Quarky Agents - kill each night. Must have majority to kill. If they do reach this majority, those who were part of the majority meet each other and get to PM * 1 Grim Reaper - kill every even-numbered night. Invincible for first night and first day win conditions for baddies: * Mafia - kill everyone except Mafiosos * QAs - kill the Sphinx. If they fail, they are immediately notified and a secondary mission is given: lynch a specific person the next day (the person is chosen randomly by me and is not a QA). If the QAs fail the secondary mission, their aliases are discovered and they are mass-lynched along with the actual person being lynched * GR - kill the Vigilante mafia special roles: * Godfather - [any night, not 2x in a row] see faction of 1 person (mafia/innocent/QA/GR) * Thief - [any night, not 2x in a row] steal from 1 person and assume their identity the next day if the Spy investigates (even days) or if Inspector is getting the Thief's identity PMed the next day (odd days) * Bankroller - [any night, not 2x in a row] rough-up someone, beating them up, which is a message to stop your accusations the next day, and a warning that the Mafia will kill you if you don't stop or if you reveal you were roughed up. Also, the Bankroller's identity (including the Bankroller status) is revealed completely when he/she is killed, no matter day/night/whatever * Assassin - [any night, not 2x in a row] if the Assassin is using his ability at the same night that a Doctor or Healer has decided to save the Assassin, he/she kills the Doctor/Healer (or both if both decided to save the Assassin that night) after the Doctor/Healer saves the Assassin (if saving is necessary of course, otherwise the Assassin just kills the Doctor/Healer/both) *** All Mafia abilities must be PMed to me separately before the night is over. I won't wait for a decision on whether or not to use the abilitity. Same with the Bomb's lie-detect ability Special Mafia Wipeout: if the Mafia are sure of the Inspector's identity, they can do a "wipeout" where they all come and kill the Inspector. Doctors/Healers/Sphinxes around are all killed on the spot on the wipeout's path to the Inspector, who is also killed. However, if the Mafia were WRONG about the Inspector, all those people (or just the non-Inspector) gang up on the Mafia and it's a Mafia-wipeout, the other way around Innocents: win by killing all the baddies. Each Innocent has a special role... saving roles = Doctor, Healer, Illusionist * Doctor - save one person each night. Not same person 2x in a row. Can save self only once * Healer - same as Doctor * Illusionist - save one person every even-# night from the Grim Reaper only. If the GR dies before the Illusionist, the Illusionist becomes the Sphinx * Sphinx - every odd night, turns into a sphinx and protects one person. If baddie trying to kill the person can answer a riddle correctly, the sphinx steps aside. If baddie can't, all baddies in that faction die (or just the QAs that decided to kill the target that night). Baddies have the option of stepping down if the riddle is too hard, they only get 1 guess discovery roles = Inspector, Spy, Bomb * Inspector - gets PMed, every odd day, a baddie identity in this order: Mafia, QA, Mafia, QA, Mafia, QA, Mafia. The order is determined at the beginning of the game, so dead people may be included. * Spy - PMs me one player each even day, I reveal their role * Bomb - [knows Inspector & is known by Mafia] can use lie-detect ability any night, but not two nights in a row. If Bomb is lynched, 1 person that voted for him/her is blown up with the Bomb. If Bomb is killed at night, there is a 1/2 chance it will be a dud and a 1/2 chance it will take one of its attackers with it in a fiery explosion killing roles = Vigilante and his/her Defender. They know each other's identities * Defender - no special powers on their own * Vigilante - while Defender is alive, cannot die other roles = Town Crier, Warlock, Jihadist, Atheist * Town Crier - gets PMed a list of 3 logical statements every night. If the Town Crier PMs me back one of them in time, the Town Crier will announce that statement the next morning for the whole town to hear. The Town Crier can never (if they out themself) say what the other statements have been * Warlock - the Warlock is a cruel, anti-social magician and a longtime enemy of the Quarky Agents. The Warlock can bewitch one person every day (if they PM before the day is up) and if that person is a Quarky Agent, they explode the next day. The Warlock is a semi-independent character and wins by killing ALL THREE Quarky Agents in this manner. Otherwise, the Warlock wins with the Innocents * Jihadist - the Jihadist can kill anyone at any time in a suicide bombing (ie, both people die) * Atheist - the Atheist is favored by the Host God Unreality. The Atheist cannot be lynched and on the 3rd day, can convert one more person to atheism. The new atheist, in addition to their previous role, cannot be lynched either. If either atheist is lynched, they get out of the lynching via divine intervention (ironic, lol)

Twirling, fleeting clouds whipped past the low-hanging moon, which was smaller than usual tonight... giving up its mantle for the stars. The stars even twinkled on the surface of the canals, shining with their galactic light and giving the water a peaceful, luminescent quality. Then an oar slipped softly into the water, distorting the image of the night sky as the ripples spread outward like a breath of wind. "Enough of this poetic nonsense," grumbled the Vigilante, and started rowing faster Eventually, another boat emerged out of the mist like a wooden isle, with Scott adjusting some riggings at the back. The Vigilante pulled up alongside, and Scott looked up, confused. "What are you doing here?" Scott said. "My interest is with the Innocents," the Vigilante replied darkly. "And I don't think you share that interest." Before Scott could protest, the Vigilante had leapt over the gap between the boats and had tackled Scott to the floor. Scott snarled and tried to throw the Vigilante off, but the nighttime ninja wouldn't be denied... Scott was hefted up and dragged toward the side of his boat... That was when Scott jammed his elbow upward, catching the Vigilante in the chin- the Vigilante stumbled backwards, hissing in pain, hand reaching for something at his/her belt. Before the Vigilante could draw the long fencing rapier, Scott tackled him/her overboard, and they hit the starlit water with a splash. Growling the Vigilante tried to grab Scott's chest, but the man was already behind the Vigilante and going for his/her throat. The Vigilante, using his/her legs skillfully, slammed Scott backwards into his boat, and the targeted man let go, the wind knocked out of him. The Vigilante took a second to recover and then grabbed Scott's neck, dipping his head underwater repeatedly until he moved no more. The bloated body was only found the next morning (after both the Doctor and Bodyguard waited outside their charges' houses all night, finally going home, disgruntled) when the abandoned boat was found drifting across the canal, pilotless. Early Morning Frost yawned, trying to get some sleep, but he just couldn't. He thought he heard people discussing something in low voices outside his house, but he shrugged it away as paranoia. Oasis had become a warzone, after all. But the whisperings persisted, and finally Frost, intrigued by the noise, crept downstairs, peering out of a hallway window. What he saw made him take two steps back in surprise. A giant lion was perched on his doorstep! The beast had an almost humanlike face, though Frost couldn't see the face from his window. The strange, massive animal was a Sphinx of the highest groom, and it was talking to something. Frost cracked the window open a little and strained to hear the Sphinx's words... it was a riddle! "You manufacture brain wave entrainment CDs for companies that sell self-improvement products. You are at the post office, with ten boxes of them ready to close up and ship out, but you have a problem. Nine of the boxes contain CDs that are designed to put the listener into an "alpha" or relaxing state, and one is full of Cds that are designed to put the user into a deeper "delta" state, for deep sleep. They look identical, and you forgot to label them. There is one difference, however. You remember that the "alpha" Cds weigh 13 grams, and because different CD "blanks were used, the "delta" Cds weigh 15 grams. Unfortunately, you can't feel the difference in weight by lifting them. The post office does have a scale. It costs one dollar each time you weigh something, though, and you want to keep your costs down. How do you use the scale as few times as possible to determine which are the "delta" CDs?" When the Sphinx was done giving the riddle, the Mafia- instead of running away, which was an option- began to fervently discuss the puzzle. They only had one guess. Finally one broke away from the group. "Good riddle," the Mafioso acknowledged, and the Sphinx smiled. "The answer is 1 dollar!" the Mafioso continued. "1 use of the scale only. This may at first seem impossible, but it isn't. Number the boxes 1-10 then take 1 CD from Box 1, 2 CDs from Box 2, etc. Then put them all in a pile and weigh that pile only once. The total will be higher than if all the boxes contained alpha cds (13 g) since some of the delta ones (15 g) are included. So subtract the actual weight from the weight if they were all 13g, and that figure will be 15*n, where n is the number of the bag with the deltas." "Good job," the Sphinx said, nodding, and stepped aside. Frost gulped. What was going on? The Mafia had answered the riddle correctly, so the Sphinx was letting them come in? Nervously, he ran to his room, where he kept his Penguin Pistol©, but he had no more bullets. By the time he had rummaged through all of his drawers, the Mafia was stomping up the stairs. Frost grabbed a nearby baseball bat and started swinging it in swooshing loops, ready to fight his way out. Unfortunately, the footsteps had stopped at the stairs, and the sound of mechanical tinkering reached Frost's ears. Confused, he opened the door slightly to see the Mafioso disappearing out the front door and into the darkness, where his/her cronies were waiting. Frost looked at the stairs. A bomb had been left there, and was ticking down quickly... 4... 3... 2... Frost roared in anger and charged down the stairs, swinging the bat as he disappeared into the light. A few hours later, the sun rose to the third day since the Mafia and QAs had appeared in Oasis, and the townsfolk of Oasis were on a warpath, gathering on a giant barge in one of the bigger canals of Oasis to discuss who should be executed. *** it's the 3rd day! If the Inspector is still alive, he/she will be PMed the identity of another Mafioso.

dinnertime- night post when I get back (it's almost done ;D)

working on night post now, but I may have to eat dinner soon

my PMs are very haphazard, they wouldn't be able to find a secret way to get numbers like I did- they'd have to make a list and then the saving roles could protect them

I'm ~phoenix~ on a different forum (lostpedia, for all things LOST ) and I've been playing in a Mafia game there... I was up for lynching as a Mafia (though I wasn't) cuz a guy named Ceb accused me and then got killed by the Mafia... but it was actually a frame-up by the Mafia... I'm a baddie, but a Cult Leader. Cult Leaders are kinda like QAs in that they don't know each other, they need a blind majority so as I was about to be lynched, I posted this: http://forum.lostpedia.com/showpost.php?p=...;postcount=1850 hahahahahahaha ;D I'm so evil

hang on, there's some Sphinx action ;D the Mafia needs to solve a riddle

stop being so impatient I've said at least twice now, I still need the Mafia consensus... and a thunderstorm is rolling in, I might have to shut down the comp ;(

by Cook I meant like a Chef, someone that runs a restaurant, and only certain roles visit the restaurant. The Cook could choose to poison one person, but it'd only succeed if they were among the "richer" roles (including Mafia) that attend the restaurant. Like a mixed discovery/killer but I decided against that the Desert Warrior... yeah it wouldn't be desert anymore I am thinking of making a different anti-QA character though

any ideas for the 4 open slots? I have some general name ideas... Merchant... Banker... Cook... lol I dunno. I had a "Necromancer" idea about raising the dead, but I don't think resurrection is a good idea in Mafia... there's too many loopholes

welcome Nasty Mama and Cherry Lane ;D

(still need Mafia consensus) Itachi has stepped in for SM!!!
