Budget Armed Forces Mafia: Game Over - Town Wins!
« on: April 12, 2025, 01:25:27 am »

Welcome to...

Budget Armed Forces Mafia!

Due to the latest Pentagon directives, your unit (Codename: Town) has been selected for testing on staffing levels.  Each day, your unit shall pick one player who is "surplus to requirements" to be eliminated.  But beware, for hostile forces (Codename: Mafia) are suspected to have infiltrated your unit, and will likely act to kill one of you each night.

In order to eliminate wasteful redundancy, equipment will NOT be uniform.  Each soldier will be issued one to three items of limited use.
For reference, the below games were Armed Forces Mafia with uniform equipment.  Things are different now...

There may be third parties of unknown purpose or alignment.  They will have to provide their own equipment, of course.

Any insinuation that this is just Mostly Vanilla Mafia will be treated as gross subordination and be grounds for immediate expulsion and charges of treason.

Days will be 48 hours, Nights will be 24 hours or until all actions (or confirmation of non-action) have been received.  Minimum player count 7, running with seven.

Town's goal is to eliminate all mafia while one town player remains alive.

If everyone dies, then mafia wins.

In the event that either side is unable to prevent the other from winning, the GM reserves the right to call the game. For example, if one town player and one mafia player survive at end of day, and the town player lacks any means to prevent the mafiakill from killing them, then the game is over with a Mafia win.  Considering the equipment available, it is likely that the game will have to play out longer than usual.

The backstory behind the above win condition is that the mafia is trying to get your unit disbanded.  Having everyone die is sufficient justification to disband the unit, hence they win.  Your goal as town is to prove the effectiveness of your unit by rooting out the mafia.  If one town player survives to report on the death of all mafia players, then mission accomplished.

All players have been randomly assigned equipment.  In the event that you have multiple items, you can only use one item per night.  A mafia player can not use the team nightkill and an item on the same night unless there is only one mafia alive.

Players vote by placing a player's name in red. Bold is preferred, but not required.  Player can abstain from voting after having voted by posting unvoteIn the event of a Tie, nobody is eliminated.

Day One has Ended with a Hammer.  Salvatore Monday has flipped MAFIA.
Night One has Ended. Crystalizedmire died and flipped Town.  Gail_42 died and flipped Town.
Day Two has Ended, as well as the Game.  Notquitethere died and flipped MAFIA.  All Mafia were found!

I'm torn.

I remain distracted in both good and bad ways, and if I play I may have minimal (for me, which is probably adequate) attention and visible mood swings.

I was/am tempted to take a break and sit out a game, a lower-power game is great for that.  But we haven't filled yet!

Maybe put me in as a person that if we get enough players expect I drop?  But I'll fill a slot for the game and play it if needed (and if we get enough + folks really do want a moody, distracted me in game with them, I can stay).

I should probably take a break myself, but eh. I imagine this game won't start in the next week anyway.

I'm gonna treat that as an Out, but if you would like IN, I would be happy to add you. We're not currently conscripting forumites, volunteer army at this time.

I'll IN

And I'm getting along real well with Zem in and out of game, so I just want him alive forever (In fact, I have no kill, so I don't get to say who dies, and I would have been SO HAPPY to tell the game of a maf inspect on him, though I would have considered chances of redirection in that case as well - least now I don't need to really try to read him for alignment, which is great.)

End of Day is 48 hours from now, or April 23rd, 2025 at 6:45am EST.

Alternatively, Day ends immediately with a Hammer if 4 players vote the same player.

Ahh... It's nearly 4 AM where I am, where I start to write.  And I'm awake?  Or dreaming...

Thanks for the conscription, Jack.  Would you do it again?  Who says we can't RVS the host?  ... The host probably says that?  Heck yeah.  Well, least I'm not bored.

I'm in the army now
My role PM, what the how?
I'm makin' m'posts,
I'm thinkin' of toast?
I'm in the army now!

Hey, Gail!  Glad you're here.  You seem warm and fuzzy :)  If you were commissioned to paint, or perhaps generate, a detailed portrait of our company - who would you have standing near who, and why?  What do you notice already, and what do you already feel?  .... If you consider telling me 'nothing, game barely started' then my ask becomes... what will you do to form these things?  And how will you treat us different as you decide what to do?

Zemaj ... Interesting name.  I enjoyed the posts you made in the Discord, introducing and checking in.  What's your initial opinions of us?  Also... and maybe more important  What do you think each of us currently thinks of you - and why do you think we think that?

Imp, seriously. I know self wants to like... do all the things. And play cool game too.  Thanks, Jack, for cool game.  However... make self a deal?  Like, we sleep after this post.  Yeah?  Yeah?  ... I'm not answering myself and I'm not sure if that's good or not.  ... I can ignore that I'm ignoring myself, surely nothing can go wrong with that.

NQT!  Hi.  Umm, umm.  Dang you're like some NQT box to my imagination right now.  Why do you think I'm having trouble thinking of even one RSV question for you, and do you recommend anything to help me with that/those issue(s)?

Magma.  Hehe.  It'sa you!  And I'ma me!  Would you try butternut squash toast?  If so, it's on.  Double dog dare you... I am sure that'll get at least one of us to eat the extra tasty toast.  How important is fun to you, in mafia games?  And why do you play them?  What gets you going and keeps you flowing through the games you play?

Sal, yay.  Because it's intellectual play, and all smoke and mirrors sleight/slayt of hand until all the dancing's done, what's 1-3 questions I might want to consider asking people, and why?

Crystal.  Are you dizzy yet?  Any idea why I ask you your questions last?  Do you enjoy smaller games, fewer players more or less than larger ones with more players?  What's the worst way to use a day 1, and how/why might some players do so anyway, knowingly?
