Mafia Forever and Ever

[PiggyGal15]

The Mafia Game That Will Never End! (aka, Mafia Forever and Ever)

Shamelessly taken from Stabsinthe’s “The Endless Modified Mafia Game” (with a few modifications)

There is a myth of a small town called

Zóé

(pronounced dzo-ay for those who don’t speak Greek). This town is said to be divided by two factions: the everyday civilians called

Townies

; and the evil-doing criminals called the

Mafia

. There were probably some other neutral,

Third-Party

guys hidden among them, but no one remembers them, so they’re not important.

Now within

Zóé

’s factions were various special people. There were cops who were trained to find the anti-town; doctors to help save the poor people caught in the crosshairs of a gun; and vigilantes to take care of the

Mafia

. However, back in these days, mob mentality did not exist and the idea of lynching someone off every day in an attempt to rid

Zóé

of those evil

Mafioso

never occurred to the residents who lived there. (aka, there is no lynching in this game, only kills)

Set Up

Everyone has a

Public Job

and a

Secret Job

. These can be the same thing. Your

Public Job

will be what everyone knows you as, whether it’s your average run-of-the-mill Townie that has nothing special about them, a doctor, a baker, a fisherman, a construction worker, or whatever your imagination can cook up, there’s no hiding this job from anyone.
However, you do have a secondary job, one that’s a secret from the public eye. This

Secret Job

can be any job that the

Public Job

can be.
Typically, your

Public Job

is used during the

Day

, and your

Secret Job

is used during the

Night

.

Everyone needs

Food

, after all, we can still die of starvation, can’t we? Every

Day

you will use one

Food

. There are various items that can be considered

Food

. Mainly they’re things like

Bread

or

Fish

or

Popcorn

. All acceptable

Food

items will be coloured

blue

. You may consume

Food

at any time, however, unless you are

Starving

, this will have no effect (see later for details).

Everyone has an

Inventory

. In your

Inventory

, you’ll be able to carry all your items. Each characters

Inventory

limit is dependent on their role and will be decided by

Me

(your wonderful and loving mod) to help balance the game. Anything you own that isn’t in your

Inventory

will be at your

House

. Your

Inventory

is on you at all times, and for someone to steal something from it, they must pass certain

Requirement Checks

that will depend on the player’s

Secret Job

. This will also be decided by

Me

in order to help balance the game.
Most items have one (1) weight, some have less (like bullets at a mere 0.5/bullet) or more (like weapons at 2). If you do not have room in your

Inventory

to carry an item, you must go back to your

House

, drop off some weight, and then move back to where you were. Moving and Turns will be covered later. Everyone will start off with 5

Bread

at their

House

, everyone will be able to start with up to five (5) weight in their

Inventory

, which items each player starts with is dependent on their

Public Job

and

Secret Job

.

Along with items, there is also money. Everyone will start off with $1000 at their

House

. Most players can only hold $1000 in their

Inventory

, though as always, this is dependent on their

Secret Job

. Money can be gained through buying and selling items. All transactions will go through

Me

.

Everyone will have a

House

and everyone is technically considered a shop owner, even if they don’t produce anything to sell. Your

House

's capacity of items and money is limitless, though its

Security

is substantially lower than your

Inventory

. If a

House

does not have Protection, it can be robbed without you even being alerted.

How To Play

Turns

:

• There are eight (8) turns in a
  Day
  and four (4) turns in a
  Night
  . Each turn will last
  24 hours
  . You can plan ahead and queue up to four (4) turns (which will equal
  84 hours
  ). Due to the turns being such a long length, if you do not submit an action, you won’t do anything for that turn. You will never be prodded or kicked out of the game, but you will stand there defenseless while people rob you and your
  House
  of everything you have, so I highly recommend against it.

Actions

:

• Actions are how you accomplish anything in the game.
  • Moving
    : Moving will change your Location. This will take one (1) turn.
    
    Power
    : This is your jobs ability (i.e. Protect, Investigate, Kill, Open/Close Shop, Build, etc.). This includes Faction Kills. This will take one (1) turn.
    
    Shopping
    :
    • Costumers
      : This will allow you access to a Quick Topic in which you and the shop owner can discuss goods and prices in private. This will take one (1) turn. If the shop isn't Open then you can't shop, if you try to shop while it's Closed nothing will happen and you will not lose a turn.
      
      Shop Owners
      : This will put an Open sign on your
      House
      .
      You do not have to be at your

      House

      to do this.
      However, not being at your
      House
      will decrease
      Security
      . This will take one (1) turn.
    Transfer
    : This will allow you to access your
    Inventory
    give items away. If at your
    House
    , this will allow you to move items between your
    Inventory
    and
    House
    . This will take one (1) turn.
    
    Eating
    : This will happen automatically as
    Day
    turns to
    Night
    . You will consume one (1)
    Food
    . You will be returned to your
    House
    . This will not take any turns. If you do not have any
    Food
    then you will become
    Starving
    (see later for details).
    
    Sleeping
    : This will happen automatically as
    Night
    turns into
    Day
    . You will be returned to your
    House
    . This will not take any turns.
  The Mafia
  :
  • All of the Mafia make one (1) faction night kill. If there is more than one faction of Mafia (i.e. Werewolves/Aliens) they too, will each get to make one (1) night kill as a faction. Their wincon should be along the lines of winning when half of
    Zóé
    is made up of their faction, or nothing can prevent that from happening.
  The Town
  :
  • Their wincon should be along the lines of winning when no anti-Town party remains.
  The Others
  :
  • These exist? Uhm… have whatever wincon you want. You guys are wild cards. Go crazy! Seroiusly! Everyone should be a Third-Party; it’ll be a
    party
    !

Locations

These are the places around

Zóé

that things can happen at. You must be at a Location at all times. Your Location will not be announced or kept track of publicly. Deaths will be tied to a Location, though they will not be revealed to the public. Each Location is special and does a different thing, all starting Locations will be

Houses

, but more can be built later. Details about building will be known by someone who has the Power to Build.

Status Effects

There are many Status Effects in the game. The most commonly known one is

Starvation

, however many more can be found with Powers and/or Locations.

Security and Requirement Checks

Security

and

Requirement Checks

are a very important part of the game. Think of your

Security

as your defense, and

Requirement Checks

as your offense. There are seven (7) levels of each, and for a

Requirement Check

to succeed, the

Security

must be lower than the

Requirement Check

(i.e. High

Requirement Check

can pass any Medium

Security

or lower. Maximum

Requirement Check

would be able to pass everything except Maximum

Security

. To be able to pass Maximum

Security

, special objects or Status Effects must be in place).

• Non-existent
  - This means you have absolutely no
  Security
  and anyone can pass a
  Requirement Check
  on it. You will never be told if someone passes a
  Requirement Check
  .
  
  Very Low
  - This means you have some
  Security
  , although it almost always fails. Depending on what the Action was, you most likely won't be told if someone passes a
  Requirement Check
  .
  
  Low
  - This means you have a bit of
  Security
  , though you shouldn't rely on it as it has a decent chance to fail. Typically you will be told if someone passes a
  Requirement Check
  .
  
  Medium
  - This means you have moderate
  Security
  , which usually succeeds. You will typically be told if someone passes a
  Requirement Check
  .
  
  High
  - This means you have decent
  Security
  and almost always succeeds. Unless there are special circumstances, you will be told if someone passes a
  Requirement Check
  .
  
  Very High
  - This means you have excellent
  Security
  and you can rely on it without fail. You will always be told if someone passes a
  Requirement Check
  .
  
  Maximum
  - This means your
  Security
  is top notch. Nothing can get through this. You will always be told if someone passes a
  Requirement Check
  .

Security

and

Requirement Checks

can be upgraded a number of ways.

Security

will increase slightly every time an Action on it failed, likewise it will decrease every time an Action succeeds (vise versa for

Requirement Checks

). The main way to increase

Security

is to Build it (see details later). The main way to increase

Requirement Checks

is to use your

Secret Job

's Ability. Each

Secret Job

Ability has a rate at which it obtains points. Non-existant to Very Low requires 5 points, Very Low to Low requires 15 points, Low to Medium requires 35 points, Medium to High requires 95 points, High to Very High requires 215 points, Very High to Maximum requires 450 points. Points are cumulative and no one will start off knowing either the amount of points they have, nor the rate at which they will be gained.
When asking whether or not something has a

Security

on it, assume that yes, it does, and a

Requirement Check

will have to be passed. This includes Abilities.

Building

Building is another essential part of the game. If there is someone with the ability to Build, then it will be up to you to make a contract with them while in their

House

(using the Shop Action). If there is no one with the ability to Build, then prices to build new buildings will be set by

Me

and it means that no matter how far in the game we are, the time it takes to build something will always remain at eighteen (18) turns. Having the option to build a specific type of building does not mean you have the ability to Build, it means that if you build that specific building (either through a contract or through me) the time will be slightly increased and/or the starting

Security

on the building will be higher than normal and/or the price might be reduced.

Communication

As with a normal mafia game, no communication outside of the thread is allowed unless I have issued it.

Death

Upon dying, nothing about you will be revealed aside from the method used to kill you (i.e. stabbed, shot, beheaded, bleed to death, etc.). This is because there will be chances to be revived. More information about this will be available upon your death. If you do succeed in being revived, your

Secret Job

and Alignment will be the same, you will, however, have the opportunity to change your

Public Job

, though this will take more work.

Joining the Game

Anyone can join the game at anytime. You do so by PMing

Me

with your

Public Job

,

Secret Job

, Alignment and everything in your

Inventory

. Changes will be made as necessary.
The items you start off with in your

Inventory

must equal or be less than five (5) weight. As I said, everyone will start with 5

Bread

and $1000 at their

House

. Changes will be made as necessary.
