All right, time for the seventh cycle of Drunk Duck Mafia. For those of you unfamiliar with how mafia works, it's an RP style game where a group of townies get together and try to root out the mafia elements that have infiltrated town, and the mafia of course try to kill them before they do. Whenever someone kills, clues are left in the narrative pointing to them. Clues can be based on your comic, your avatar, your profile message or simply how you act in the thread, and it's up to the townies to figure these clues out and lynch the mafia.

Well...that was normal mafia. I have decided to go off the grounds of normal for this game. I will be hosting the first mafia on Drunk Duck like this. Introducing: REVERSE MAFIA. The rules are the same of all the other games, but the back story has been changed. Instead of a town rooting out a mafia that is trying to take over, this game is about a group of special agents trying to take apart a long standing mafia. (Don't worry GDers. Only the sign ups are in here. The actual game will be in the Forum Games.)

While reading through the rules sections, feel free to listen to this music to get yourself in the mood.


Right then. The rules.

1. All official actions in game must be PQ'd to the GM (that's me) to be counted as valid.

2. Please do not deadtalk. If you died in the game, alas you are dead. Don't tell game information to other alive players.

3. All PQ's that I send you should be considered private. Do not post them in the actual forum.

4. Townston has a 48 hour day cycle. Day takes 24 hours to transpire and so does the night. At the end of each night I will post a narrative that includes clues for every kill that was made. All cycles end at 6PM CDT or Midnight GMT.

5. Actions are resolved on a chronological basis, but where the list starts is random. This is to discourage people from instantly sending in hits as soon as I get out the narrative. It is also to help my friends across the pond that the cycles end late for.

6. If your hit is preempted by someone else(ie, someone else kills your target before you do) your kill will be wasted for the night. I will notify you of this.

As this is a webcomic forum, if you are campaigning for the position of Godfather I will give one bonus vote to you if you draw your campaign in comic form~


Mafia ROLES
The mafia’s win condition is to find and kill all the undercover agents.

Godfather
The Godfather is elected at the start of the game and has numerous roles. His special abilities are:
Seal of the Godfather: Increased vote count of 2 during killings.
Desperate times, desperate measures: The Godfather can declare 2 double kills anytime during the game When double kills are in effect each player gets two votes on two different people.(must notify me during night cycle or early on in the day so voting can be arranged accordingly).
Did you ever know that you're my hero...: Cannot be killed during the night while his bodyguard(s) are alive. Only the Godfather will know who the bodyguards are.
Let's celebrate!: The Godfather has the option of insta-killing one player by the end of Day 1 once he's won the election. No voting takes place. Whoever the Godfather picks, gets lynched. Take heed if you plan to use this ability since no clues have been given yet.


Second in Command
As a check and balance to the Godfather, the Second in Command is the runner up to the Godfather. The Second in Command has the ability to cancel two kills throughout the game. The Second in Command will have to notify me within one hour of lynch vote results before the kill is actually posted. He is also unable to pardon on the insta-kill.


Bodyguard
Random Mafioso will receive the role of bodyguard once the Godfather has been elected. The Godfather alone will know who these people are. The bodyguard cannot be an agent or special role, he can only be a regular mafia.


Murderer
You have the ability to kill once per night, whoever you so choose. A clue will be left behind that points to you for the agents (or the mafia) to interpret.


Doctor
You have the ability to watch one other player during night, which you must tell me about before the end of night (this move can be made during the day cycle). When a player is watched he cannot die unless the number of people attacking him outnumbers the number of people watching him or his night lives. In other words if two mafia attack a person being watched by one Doctor, the person will die. The narrative will indicate that the target was attempted but saved, but it will not explicitly say who the target was. It does not matter if the Doctor chooses to watch someone before or after he is attacked; he will protect the person regardless.


Made Man
You've been around the block a few times and know how to escape an attack on your life. But for how long? The Made Man gets two lives, meaning two hits must be made on him before he dies.


Paranoid
While pro-mafia, the paranoid is a wee bit unhinged by his experiences. He had followed the mafia for the drugs and he found them. At day, he's perfectly normal but during the night he keeps to himself.. The Paranoid will kill whoever was the first person to target him in any way during the night, whether it be agent or mafia (such as a Doctor opting to protect him). The Paranoid is unable to NOT kill, but will only kill one person a night. Should two persons attack him, the first person will die but the second will not.

Rat
You have three abilities you may use. You have the ability to ask me whether or not a specific clue points to a specific person and get a yes/no answer, you can ask me twice per game what role a specific person has, or you may ask me how manymafia voted to lynch a specific person after the conclusion of voting. You may only use one ability per day/night cycle.


Mafioso
You are a dedicated Mafioso! Although you do not have any special abilities, you participate by solving clues, networking, and voting.


Agent ROLES
The agent team’s win condition is to outnumber the mafia. Unlike mafia, all agents know who each other are. All agents can, in their own way, kill once per night cycle.

Leader
Like the Godfather, the Leader has several special abilities in his arsenal.
Bluff: The Leader is able to leave a threatening note on his targets. This has the effect of negating any special abilities the person may have had for one day and night cycle.
Call in a favor: The Leader can once per game, cancel a lynch. If he uses that ability, during a double lynch, both lynches are canceled.
Stay at the Base: The Leader doesn't dirty his hands since he has is the most important member of his team. The leader will appear as a Mafioso to the Rat. Also, he can't be killed by the Murderer as long as this power is in effect.
A True Leader: The Leader has decided to take actions into his own hands. He's brandished his pistol and taken to the streets. He gains the ability to kill once per night but looses all benefits he received from his Stay at the Base power. If the Leader is the only agent left, this power is automatically activated.


Demolitions Man
Each night, the Demolitions Man can do one of the following, plant a single bomb on someone or detonate a bomb that he's already planted. He can not plant a bomb and detonate it during the same night. The Demolitions Man can at most keep two undetonated bombs in circulation but is free to plant more, once he's detonated one. Every time he detonates a bomb, a clue is given who he might be. Should the Demolitions Man be killed either through a lynch or Murderer hit, all bombs in circulation will detonate, killing his targets. If one of his targets are killed by someone else, he loses that bomb. The bomb is also discovered on the body, which gives the townies a clue who he might be.


Agent
You are a regular agent. You get to kill a mafia every night.


The game will need at least 20 people to begin. More people are free to join which will
increase the numbers of Mafioso.

The music works well. =w=

I'll join, of course!

HEY! That was my idea!

One nitpick.
Rat
You have three abilities you may use. You have the ability to ask me whether or not a specific clue points to a specific person and get a yes/no answer, you can ask me what role a specific person has, or you may ask me how many mafia voted to lynch a specific person after the conclusion of voting. You may only use one ability per day/night cycle.

This power, "finding out someones role" is way better to use instead of asking whether or not a specific clue points at him. Why bother asking if he killed this particular person if you can ask if he's a mafia... sorry agent or not? Therefore I suggest a limit to that ability. Two times max.

I want to be a part of this game and its wierdness :D

Yeah, but you put the music on after I read your rules!

Also I think it's usually 2 times a game for that, but she didn't type it up right or something...

Come on Rat! Come on Rat! *Fingers are crossed*

I'm in! Hopefully I'll be on the winning side this time :D

Also I'm going to be running as Mayor or Pardoner. Which ever one I can get.

Well, if you want the get the holy trifecta of being the pardoner 3 times in a row then your aim is to get the Second in Command

I'm in.

I'm in, and i won't be betraying my team members this time!

I'm so in.
In all 6 games I have been a "townie", so finally there is a chance for me to become a mafioso for the first time ^_^

same here.

Yeah. Well it has been limited in the past. I think it was twice or three times. And don't give me that it is my fault. I copied PP's stuff to make it easy. I shall fix it right now.

This typo has never been a problem before cause the detective tends to die young.

Seriously? I've only been mafia once and we see how that worked out (WAFF!!!!!).

Anyway, sign me up!

Welcome Bob and your name is PERFECT for this name... also, invite your friends... the faster we get to 20 players, the sooner we can get cranking!

im in

I actually got bob to join AG. He is another one of my RL friends. That makes three people from the same area all in on online game :D . That also means I brought two people to this game. Maybe I can get even more people to join! Inu start working on getting Camrin to join XD

Let's do this thing! GRARRRRR!

...by which I mean, I'm in.

Yeah I'm just going to hide over here for a while *Runs away from Ochi*

;~; Wait for me.

*flee*

Et tu, waff!? XD

Question:

Should the mafia or the agent team be plagued with the sissy name?

I say give the agents something vaguely militaristic yet insulting or give each agent an insulting rank/call name.

XD I think I will stick with the default name of Snuggles for the agents then.

I can't NOT play. It's vital to me surviving the increasing madness of my daily life.

Half way there. And only half a day has gone by.

I'll join.:D

I wasn't trying to say that anything was your fault. I was aware that I made the same error. You must have copied my sign up rules because I had fixed the flaw in my text in the main game discussion.

Anyways. I'll find out soon enough if I can play or not.

Better do it soon since the rooster is filling up quite fast.

This idea for a reverse-game seems to be popular.

Waitings the hardest part.

Much like the real mafia, the more I try to get out, the more I get pulled back in.

I always want to retire after every damn game and I swear I wont ever come back but I get called up for one last job...a bit like Rambo...

*ties on head band*

Lets do this!
I'm in!
