  • [Mafia]The Chopping Block

    Hello and welcome to TW Mafia: The Chopping Block

    Mafia is a game of social deduction that has been played on the Trench Wars forums for many years. New or old, this game is accessible to all, provided an average skill at deduction and just the right amount of mistrust between friends. The game pits an informed minority (the mafia) against an uninformed majority (the town) for control over the game. We alternate between day and night phases. Each day phase, everyone gets together and chooses someone to be removed from the game (aka lynched). At night, the mafia secretly chooses someone to remove (nightkill). There are many other roles and mechanics involved, but that's all you need to know to get started.

    The setting of the game will be further explained in the opening post.

    Disclaimer(s):
    The roles I have chosen might be tweaked slightly and/or X-Shot (limited usage ability).
    I've also been known to create some of the roles myself...

    Rules:
    1) Actions occur in this order: Target modifiers (Busdriver, hider, commuter, nexus) -> Strongman -> Action modifiers (roleblock, protection) -> Killing roles -> Miscellaneous (treestump, recruitment) -> Investigative roles
    Target Modifiers, however, can be roleblocked.
    2) All votes must be BOLDED. Unvotes are not necessary but are allowed
    3) You may not abstain from voting, except for the first day, as necessary.
    4) There are NO double lynches. In the event of a vote tie, neither part will be lynched and we will proceed to night phase
    5) Please keep conversation limited to game-related topics. It's really cool to see a game go into hundreds of pages, but it's a bit of a turn-off for new players and those who can only spare a few minutes for reading.
    6) Phases will last however long I see fit. I expect votes every day and night-actions at night. Please don't keep everyone else waiting. Ideally, day phases will last under 48 hours, and night phases approximately 24 hours. It is your responsibility to make sure the game goes quickly though.
    7) Never re-post any part of any pm sent to you by me. Paraphrasing is okay but I am the final judge of what is acceptable. I will mod-kill you instantly if you do so. Don't be a tool and we'll be cool.
    8) You may not EDIT your posts. Multi-posting to correct what was said is fine.
    9) Do NOT Lurk. I need you to post at least once per phase (more than a one-liner, please). If someone does not do even that much than I will look for a substitute. If someone's is seen as lurking more than usual, it is your job as town/mafia to lynch them.
    10) If you're dead, you're dead. Dead people don't talk nor share any information.
    11) If you have any questions, please PM me (in-game or in Forum).
    12) Submit your night actions if you have one. If you don't wish to use yours, please let me know that too so we can move on faster.
    13) I reserve the right to modify the rules slightly for extraneous situations.
    14) I reserve the right to edit/delete posts that don't comply with explicitly stated rules here or via private message.
    15) Don't be shit-heads - to me or to each other.
    16) No private messaging please, unless you are specifically allowed to.
    17) For those unfamiliar with my hosting style, I have one player (character) designated as the narrator. There will be context clues as to their actions and others' in the flavor write ups. However, it is easy to read too far into this.

      A note appeared on the front door, filled with blurry pixelated images, mismatched fonts and forceful language that left nothing to the imagination.
      "Enjoy", "Free food", "Meet your neighbors"

      "But I enjoy playing games on my computer, I can make better food in my own kitchen, and I've already met people from all over the world on Trench Wars.

      Then again, I should go outside. I'll need to go to the the hardware store anyways, and I can pay the HOA fine for leaving my trashcan out too late. All in one swing. A block party... but this could be my best shot to see her."

      With that in mind, Jonah tore the flyer from the door, snatched a magnet from the fridge, and affixed the paper with only the date visible:
      Saturday, July 20 1996

      Begin Day 1

        Oh God. HOA theme? This hits too close to home. I can't wait to dissect all of this juicy, juicy flavor!

        I can't for Willby, which is upsetting. Voth probably expects me to vote for him. That being said, LF is for sure scum buddies with Voth.

          If I end up getting paired with Voth I can pretty much guarantee SOMEBODY is a Bus Driver just so he can toss me under it again. Wilbur would definitely have that kind of dark humor.

            With that said, I won't be able to post much during the day. I have work like a normal adult. I will make it a point to check in when I'm on brake though, to avoid a repeat of last game which I didn't even know had started

                    Okay someone is going to have to explain how voting and eliminations work because I don't understand rule 6. is it maj only?

                      vote jessup

                      Because fuck her. Paul and Vehicle were my next two options though. As much as I like beating Paul, I love lynching Vehicle. Is Exalt playing? He's a close fourth.

                        Well you're off to a great start. Rule 6 has nothing to do with voting.

                        What exactly are you asking? Whoever has the most votes in a day phase is lynched and dies. Majority rules. Per rule 4, a tie ends in no one being lynched.

                          Hey man, I suggest you read this to get a little sense of what's going on:
                          https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

                          I'm more than happy to have a newbie in our ranks. But try to get yourself informed because asking for advice in a live mafia thread is asking to get yanked around.

                          The jist is this: Two teams: town and scum. Scum know who scum are, town is in the dark. Every day down votes to kill one person. At night, the scum kill a person of their choosing. Last team standing wins.

                          Now there is a lot more to it than that. But with that basic understanding you can start participating actively. And activity is encouraged.

                            Oooh how exciting my first rivalry.
                            I would vote for you but LF is playing this time - he claims he didn't know about the last game but I believe he just didn't want to play unless he is Mafia.

                            Vote LF

                              Hi all. There was a certificate issue with forum site yesterday so only posting now. I do this vote for the sake of the town. This person has earned the title The Town Destroyer because no matter what side they are on every game they wind up doing just that.

                              Vote VOTH
