Justice: The Battle for Monticelia

Monticelia is a bustling trade city deep in the mainland of Italy. Monticelia made a name for itself by selling weapons and armor to neighboring cities as well as selling elite mercenaries to help train soldiers of those with the money to spare. It had been ruled by the just and kind Marchetti family for as long as it has been in existence, but some of its citizens have always desired more power.

Recently, the marchese (ruler) of Monticelia, Quintiliano Marchetti, was butchered on his way to mass by members of the D'Agata family, and his only heir, Leonardo Marchetti, is in hiding until the D'Agata threat is dealt with. The D'Agata family has taken over rule of Monticelia with brute force, and they are harsh. They tax the citizens heavily and maintain rule by using the mercenaries as a police force.

However, the tighter the leash, the stronger the desire to break free, and Monticelia's citizens are doing just that. A group has formed in secret, with a goal to continue hiding Leonardo and return the Marchetti rule to Monticelia. They call themselves "La Libero", and they will die for their cause.


About the Game

For those of you with previous experience with mafia games, welcome back! This'll be a standard game with the usual collection of roles following Epicmafia standards. Not anything too insane, like an immortal riddle master, but I still intend on giving this game a fun and refreshing atmosphere.

For those of you that are new to the game, great to have you here! This game isn't tailored specifically to teach you the mechanics of the game but it'll be treated as a good place to start. I'll be more than happy to explain the mechanics of the game to anyone that's confused, and other experienced mafia members will likely help you out. I also highly recommend clicking on this link: https://www.philosophy.com/whywaterisnotwet for a useful breakdown of the rules and a list of definitions, and also this link: https://www.animedebates.com/isnarutogood?, which has a great explanation of how mafia games work. While it isn't necessary to read all this to start playing a game, Gunner put a lot of work into it, and it's a fun read.

To summarize all that info, the game is split into two factions. The Innocents (D'Agata) win by eliminating all of the Mafia (La Libero) that are in their midst, while the Mafia wins by outnumbering the remaining players. The Innocents are the uninformed majority, who have no idea who's who, while the Mafia have their own private chat and work together to bamboozle the town. Be careful, this game is a little different, the "good guys" are generally the majority but in this game they are the mafia in order to better tell the story.

The game is split into Day and Night Phases. During the Day Phases, people post in the thread about their analysis of the game and vote on a person to lynch. During Night Phases, Innocents and Mafia get to use what are known as Night Actions, or abilities that give them vital information, interfere with other Night Actions, give out useful items, or potentially eliminate another player. During the Night, no one can post in the thread, and people send their Night Actions to the GM: Bidoof FTW via Pokecommunity or via Discord.

That should cover the basics. More role information is given below. And just remember, the important thing is to have fun!

Roles


The D'Agata Forces
The D'Agata family and their legion of mercenaries, the new rulers of Monticelia are looking to squash rebellion before it can have any impact.

Giovanni D'Agata - Governor

General Pagano - Cop
The head of the mercenaries, his job is to keep the citizens in line and assure the D'Agata's rise to power. Each night, he may raid the home of another player, discovering their alignment.

Mercenaries - Vanilla Town x4
Regular footsoldiers for the D?Agata, they have no special powers or abilities. The amount of mercenaries in the game will be corresponding to the amount of players that sign up. The final count will be added to the OP after the game has begun.


La Libero
Monticelia?s freedom fighters and the protectors of Leonardo Marchetti, they work in secret to sabotage and eliminate the D?Agata.

Captain Savaria - Godfather
A high ranking mercenary by day, and a member of La Libero by night, Captain Savaria will show up as a member of the D?Agata if investigated.

Hey everyone! I'm going to edit the OP so that we can downsize a bit, we'll be playing with the 7 that we have, and I will start n0 as soon as I can so that we can go ahead and get into the action.

EDIT: looks like it's 8!

Night Zero

It's 8pm, the sun sets over the city of Montecelia, and curfew begins. Mercenaries patrol the streets, watching for anything that could be considered a threat. But what they haven't yet discovered, is that a small group is organizing in the shadows. Tension is rising in the city, and it reeks with the smell of rebellion.

The night phase will end in approximately 24 hours.

Day One

The nights in Italy are generally quite quiet, but some poor soul was awoken in the middle of the night by the sounds of soldiers tearing up his home.

"Hey, you can't be in here!" The poor soul shouted.
One of the mercenaries slapped him, "Shut up! We're here on orders of the General, we can do whatever we please."

The soldiers continued to investigate the home rather roughly, eventually, they left, having found what they were looking for.

One of the soldiers, however, never made it home. He was found lying dead in the street the next morning, with "La Libero" tagged on the floor next to him. The resistance has begun.



Desox is dead! He was a Mercenary.
The day phase will end in approximately 48 hours.

RIP Desox.

So, with 8 starting players I expect there to be only 2 mafia, as 3 would result in it already being LYLO on Day 1, so we are currently at 2/5 if that's the case.

I like this post. This is one of the best first posts of a game I have seen in a while. If you're not town I'll eat my hat.

RIP Desox and gimme's hat.

Short on suggestions here as we have no public information. I don't know Desox that well - is there any reason besides "mafia needs N1 kill" that would encourage mafia to off him? That might help us determine which players would see him as a threat.
