SUPERJOLT'S VANILLA MAFIA
(CSS totally not stolen from Bard who stole it from Gunner)


The town was quiet as a steady downpour of rain washed over; the streets were empty. The night was dark, save for the light of the faintly glowing streetlamps.

On the second floor of a nearby building, two shadowy figures were in a room that overlooked the street below. One sat behind a large desk, partially illumined by the dim light shining through the window from below, leaving his face obscured by the darkness. The other stood at the window, looking down at the street as he put on a hat and finished a cigarette. The man behind the desk reached for a fancy cigar and a match. His face was illuminated only for a moment as he lit the cigar. He let out a big puff of smoke. "Do you know what to do?" he said to the man standing at the window.

"Don't worry boss..." the man said, turning to pick up a gun off a nearby coffee stand. He held up the gun, checked to make sure it had enough bullets, cocked it, then tucked it inside his coat. "...this town will soon be ours."



Welcome to the game of Mafia! I'm Superjolt and I'll be your host!

What is mafia you ask? I'll explain!

For you new players out there, Mafia is a game where players are divided into two teams: the Town, and the Mafia. The Town is the uninformed majority, they don't know who the other members of the Town are, or who is Mafia. The Mafia is the informed minority, they know who the other members of the mafia are. The goal of the Town is to try and figure out which players are in the Mafia (and who isn't!) by voting to lynch players and remove them from the game. The Town wins when all members of the mafia are eliminated. Of course, the Mafia will also be in the mix trying to mislead the Town! The Mafia will kill other players during the Night Phase, their goal is to outnumber the Town in order to win.

The game is split into two phases: the Day Phase and the Night Phase! During the Day, the discussion begins in the thread. The Town players will discuss and try to figure out who is mafia (and who isn't) while the Mafia try to blend in and avoid getting caught. Everyone can cast a vote for a player in order to lynch them. At the end of the Day, the player with the most votes will be lynched and their alignment will be revealed to everyone. During the Night, players won't be able to talk in the thread. The Mafia then discuss in a private chat which player to kill. The player that gets killed will be revealed in the thread at the start of the next Day Phase.

Each player also receives a Role. Some players may be able to use special abilities during the Night Phase, depending on what role they have. These abilities can include investigating players to see if they are mafia, protecting a player from getting killed, or even blocking a player from using their ability (and more! See below for the list of roles)



ROLES AND SETUP



I thought it would be cool to introduce a couple of different roles! I think it should still (hopefully) be easy for newer players to understand.

There are 12 possible setups in the spoiler below, one will be randomly selected before the game begins (not every role exists in every setup). I've tried my best to keep things balanced (I'm not the best when it comes to balance), so if anything looks unbalanced or if there's any other concerns, please let me know!
Spoiler:
Possible Setups:

SETUP 1: Town Masons x2, Town Jailkeeper x1, Town Universal Backup x1, Vanilla Townie x7 vs Mafia Roleblocker x1, Mafia Goon x2

SETUP 2: Town 2-Shot Commuter x1, Town Tracker x1, Town Bodyguard x1, Vanilla Townie x8 vs Mafia Goon x3

SETUP 3: Town Masons x2, Town Vigilante x1, Town Doctor x1, Vanilla Townie x7 vs Mafia Goon x3

SETUP 4: Town Even-Night Cop x1, Town Vigilante x1, Town Weapon Inspector x1, Vanilla Townie x8 vs Mafia Roleblocker x1, Mafia Goon x2

SETUP 5: Town Cop x1, Bulletproof Townie x1, Town Bodyguard x1, Vanilla Townie x8 vs Mafia Roleblocker x1, Mafia 1-Shot Strongman x1, Mafia Goon x1

SETUP 6: Town Cop x1, Town Doctor x1, Town Vigilante x1, Vanilla Townie x8 vs Mafia Roleblocker x1, Mafia Goon x2

SETUP 7: Town Cop x1, Town 2-Shot Commuter, Town Jailkeeper x1, Vanilla Townie x8 vs Mafia Roleblocker x1, Mafia Goon x2

SETUP 8: Town 2-Shot Commuter x1, Town Vigilante x1, Town Tracker x1, Bulletproof Townie x1, Vanilla Townie x7 vs Mafia Roleblocker x1, Mafia 1-Shot Strongman x1 Mafia Goon x1

SETUP 9: Town Tracker x1, Town Jailkeeper x1, Town Universal Backup x1, Vanilla Townie x8 vs Mafia Roleblocker x1, Mafia Goon x2

SETUP 10: Town Masons x2, Town Even-Night Cop x1, Town Vigilante x1, Town Weapon Inspector x1, Vanilla Townie x6 vs Mafia Goon x3

SETUP 11: Town Bodyguard x1, Town Weapon Inspector x1, Town Vigilante x1, Town Universal Backup x1, Vanilla Townie x7 vs Mafia Roleblocker x1, Mafia Goon x2

SETUP 12: Town Cop x1, Town Doctor x1, Town Tracker x1, Vanilla Townie x8 vs Mafia Roleblocker x1, Mafia 1-Shot Strongman x1, Mafia Goon x1

SETUPS 1, 3, 5, 6, 8 and 12 also have a 50% chance of a Fool. If a Fool is added, it will replace a Vanilla Townie. (This will be randomly determined after a setup is selected, and before roles are assigned)

NOTE:
- Even-Night Cop investigates only on even-numbered nights, including Night 0
- Mafia will have the option to not kill if they choose.
- Mafia will choose which player makes the night kill
- Roleblocker takes precedence over Jailkeeper should that situation arise.


----------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a list of possible roles in the game:

Town

Masons

Two players will be masons. Their identities are confirmed to each other at the start of the game. They will have access to a private chat where they can discuss things at all times.

Cop

Can investigate a player during the night to find out their alignment. The results they receive will either be Guilty (mafia) or Not Guilty (town).

Doctor

The doctor can choose a player to protect during the night. Any attempts to kill that player will fail. (The doctor cannot self-target).

Tracker

The tracker can target a player during the night. They will learn who that player visited during the night.

Vigilante

The vigilante can shoot a player during the night to kill them.

Weapon Inspector

During the night, the Weapon Inspector can check to see if a player possesses a weapon "in flavor". For this game, all members of the mafia, cops and vigilantes will return a guilty result to the inspector.

Bulletproof

This townie has a bulletproof vest that allows them to survive the first time they are targeted for a kill. They will not be informed if their vest is used up.

Commuter

During the night, the commuter can choose to "leave the town" for the night. When a player is commuting, they cannot be targeted by any actions during the night, including night kills. The amount of times they can commute is limited.

Bodyguard

Similar to the Doctor, the Bodyguard can guard a player during the night. However, if the player guarded by the Bodyguard is targeted for a kill, the Bodyguard will die in their place.

Jailkeeper

The Jailkeeper can target a player during the night. Their target will be protected, but they will also roleblock their target and prevent them from using any night actions.

Univseral Backup

The Universal Backup will inherit the role of the first town power role that dies in the game. For example, if the first role that dies is the Jailkeeper, they will become the Backup Jailkeeper and be able to use the Jailkeeper's abilities. If the Universal Backup dies before inheriting a role, they will be revealed as such, however if they die after inheriting a role, they will be revealed as a Backup of the role they inherited.

Vanilla Townie

Vanilla Townies have no special abilities, however they can still use their voice and their vote in the thread during the Day Phase and help find the mafia!

Mafia

Mafia Roleblocker

The roleblocker can target a player at night to prevent them from using their night action.

Mafia Strongman

Once in the game during the night, the Strongman can choose to make a strong-arm kill. This kill cannot be stopped by any means, it cannot be blocked, it will bypass protections and can even break through bulletproof vests. (Only the Commuter can avoid this kill while commuting).

Mafia Goon

Mafia Goons have no special abilities, but they can help their fellow mafia members in misleading the town! Goons can still carry out the mafia night kill.

Unaligned

Fool

The Fool is a role that is not aligned with the town or mafia. Their goal is to get themselves lynched. If they do, they will receive a solo win along with whatever team wins at the end. The Fool loses if they are night killed or survive until endgame. They will appear as "unaligned" on cop reports. (There is only a 50% chance of a Fool in certain setups).

Night Zero


The downpour of rain continued, the night felt ominous.

Two individuals stood just inside a doorway in a back alley, trying to avoid the rain as they waited for a third companion to arrive. One of them sighed, pulled out a match and a cigarette, and lit it. Moments later, a vehicle pulled up through the alley, and the driver motioned for the other two to get in. They got in, and the three of them looked at each other silently for a moment. They knew what they were going to do. The vehicle pulled slowly out of the alley, headlights off, and quietly went down the street.

It was time to strike fear into the heart of this town. Soon, the town would be in chaos, and they were going to take full advantage of it.



The game begins...

It is now Night Zero! All night actions are due via PM or Discord in 24 hours (around Midnight, EST)

Remember, no posting in the thread until the Night is over!

Day One


The car pulled up to a house on the edge of town. The man in the back seat turned the crank to roll the window down. Gunfire sprayed into the house and the sedan quickly sped away; the sounds being muffled by the heavy rain.

Rain continued into the late hours of the night, but the skies were mostly clear by daybreak. The citizens of the town awoke to a shock as they looked at their morning newspapers.

'Murder!'
the headlines read.

By mid-morning, most of the town's citizens had gathered at the town hall. They learned that this murder was the work of none other than the mafia. "See?!" someone shouted, "the mafia's influence has reached even this town! We can't let this town be consumed like the others!"

Everyone agreed, they would have to hunt down these criminals, some even suggested lynching them. Little did they know the mafia was already present among them.



Bardothren is dead! He was a Town Vigilante.
Johnny is dead! He was a Vanilla Townie.
