Mafia 59: Hell on Earth - Game over!

[Kelly Chen]

• Hell on Earth
  Kelly Open Setup 5, and Mafia 59

Hell manifests itself on earth in the form of devastating scum who butcher their victims to unrecognizability. There are 19 of you and only 4 of you have (rather limited) town power roles. The rest of you are mafia (8) or vanilla town (7). No doctor. Your soul cries in anguish. Teeth gnash. You snort bitterly that this should just be called "Town Loses Mafia."

???

Two mafia factions (4 members each) have infiltrated your ranks. They have no special roles, although each faction has a single collective nightkill immunity. As in my other games, they cannot share the win, and thus are each other's irreconciliable enemies.

The town has four special roles, or as I call them, "pieces." There are essentially three cop pieces, and one doctor/blocker/isolater piece:
The picard piece detects borg mafia.
The ripley piece detects alien mafia.
The newt piece may visit someone; if that person is mafia, the newt dies.
The worf piece may detain someone, who will be unable to act that night, and no one will be able to act on this person.

Day start. Full role reveal. Draws are not allowed. I'm going to try autodeadlining game days at four weeks, although extensions will be possible.

ROLES:

Every role PM consists of two paragraphs. One is the role description, the other is the win condition.

Role counts and descriptions:

There are 4

BORG MAFIA

:
W, X, Y, and Z are BORG MAFIA. Each night one of you may attempt to kill another player. Tell me which one of you does it. Special ability: The first time one of you would be killed by ALIEN MAFIA, nothing happens. You do not learn whether this ability has been used.

There are 4

ALIEN MAFIA

:
W, X, Y, and Z are ALIEN MAFIA. Each night one of you may attempt to kill another player. Tell me which one of you does it. Special ability: The first time one of you would be killed by BORG MAFIA, nothing happens. You do not learn whether this ability has been used.

There are 7

TOWNIES

:
You are a TOWNIE. This is HELL ON EARTH.

There is one

PICARD

piece, one

RIPLEY

piece, one

NEWT

piece, and one

WORF

piece:
You are the PICARD piece. You are a COP who may check a player each night to determine whether they are BORG MAFIA.

You are the RIPLEY piece. You are a COP who may check a player each night to determine whether they are ALIEN MAFIA.

You are the NEWT piece. You are a REPORTER. Each night you may VISIT another player. If you die, that player was MAFIA (but you cannot tell anyone); otherwise that player is protown. If you or your target are DETAINED by the WORF piece that night, your visit fails and you will be told this.

You are the WORF piece. You are a JAILER. Each night you may DETAIN another player. This player cannot be targeted by anyone else that night, and this player will also be unable to target anyone that night. This applies to nightkills, investigations, and the NEWT's move.

Win conditions:

For

BORG MAFIA

:
You win when BORG MAFIA make up a majority of remaining players. You also win when BORG MAFIA make up half of remaining players, and at least one protown player is still alive. EVERYBODY LOSES if when all protown are eliminated, BORG MAFIA and ALIEN MAFIA exist in equal numbers.

For

ALIEN MAFIA

:
You win when ALIEN MAFIA make up a majority of remaining players. You also win when ALIEN MAFIA make up half of remaining players, and at least one protown player is still alive. EVERYBODY LOSES if when all protown are eliminated, BORG MAFIA and ALIEN MAFIA exist in equal numbers.

For

everyone else

:
You win when all BORG MAFIA and ALIEN MAFIA are eliminated, and at least one protown player still lives.

[Kelly Chen]

SPECIAL RULES:

The game starts in day.

All dead roles will be revealed immediately.

This game can't end in a draw. If all pro-town players are dead, and both scum groups have the same number of players alive, they kill each other and everybody loses.

The game will not end prematurely, even if winning has become impossible for certain players (e.g. a single townie having to play kingmaker [may not apply in this setup]).

In general you do not learn why an act failed (e.g., kills can fail due to both the Worf jailer piece and the one-shot scum immunity). You will get "This move was not successful" if I send anything at all. The exception is the Newt reporter piece, who will always be informed of this, since I don't want the Newt piece to mistake his lack of death to be an innocent result on someone.

You will not get any information about

how

someone dies in the night (e.g. who killed them, or whether the newt piece targeted scum and died).

When one scum group has been eliminated, the other scum group may not submit "No Kill" a third consecutive time without some other death occurring first (including modkill). This prevents an endless No Lynch No Kill scenario.

Q: Suppose a Borg tries to kill an Alien. Will the Aliens' one-shot NK immunity be used up if the Worf targets the Borg? Or if he targets the Alien?
A: No. It is only used up when the kill would succeed without it.

Q: Can the Picard or the Ripley investigate someone targeted by the Worf the same night?
A: No, that would not succeed.

Q: If both the Borg and the Aliens target someone targeted by the Worf the same night, does that person die?
A: No. The Worf can stop both kills.

Q: If the Newt targets scum and the Worf targets either, can the Newt die?
A: No, the Newt will be told that the move failed.

Q: Is the Newt reporter the same as the Miriam hider from Mafia 54?
A: No. The Newt can be killed by scum even when he targets town. On the other hand, the Newt doesn't die from targeting someone who dies.


If you have any questions about the mechanics of this game, or any role, or the PMed messages I may or may not send, feel free to ask me by PM or in-thread. There are no secrets.

[Kelly Chen]

STANDARD RULES:

Underlined rules are new.

0. I'm in charge. You can tell me if I've made a mistake, but my decisions are ultimately final. Don't question such in-thread. Also, these "standard rules" are not part of the setup definition and are subject to change.

0a. Use common sense, or ask, when interpreting the rules. Exploiting loopholes in the wording of the rules may be modkillable under this rule.

1. Post at least once every three days. Notify the mod privately or in-thread if you expect an extended absence.
2. If I try to contact you, and can't get a response in 48 hours for no reason known to me, you may be replaced.

2a. If I prod you for lack of activity, and you pick it up, I expect you to post something in the next couple of days. If that's not possible then you should reply to the prod and explain.
2b. If I PM you and ask you a direct question, answer this question. If I ask you "are you still playing?" that is not a simple prod, that is me asking you whether you're still playing.

3. I do not promise to give warning before replacing a player.
4. If you have the ability to submit a night choice, and do not wish to use it, please PM me to say that you don't wish to use it. It'll make things go faster. If you don't PM me at all, I may make a choice for you, and I may consider replacing you.
5. You do not have to unvote. Votes and unvotes have to be bolded. No Lynch is voted, unvoted, and "lynched" as though it were a player.
6. Don't discuss this game outside the thread, except as your role explicitly allows.

That includes excessive raving or complaining about it.

7. Once it has been announced that you are dead,

you must not make any attempt to claim/suggest/joke about any role info you might have.

This is punishable by modkilling someone on your team, or whatever else I feel is appropriate, even if you didn't understand that you broke this rule.

You can only make a "bah" post once you're declared dead.
8. Do not quote, or pretend to quote, any out-of-thread discussion. In particular, do not quote or pretend to quote private communication from the mod.
9. Modkill and deadline policies may be determined on the fly as I think appropriate.
10. Don't edit or delete your posts. I am likely to edit posts to fix tags or remove duplicates for you.
11. Be nice, have fun, and play hard.

11a. Do not post needless vulgarity, personal attacks, or off-topic content.
11b. If you knowingly and blatantly screw over your own team, you will be banned from any game I run in the future.
11c. You don't have a right to play badly. It's not against the rules, but it's not a right. If you suck too hard it may get you kicked out.

Deadline policy for this game:

Every game day will start out autodeadlined at four weeks. I will not automatically push this back for replacements. I may grant extensions if I think the town deserves it. I may move the deadline up if the town is silent. Role claims may prompt an extension.

Vacant positions, their night actions, and votes:

I may make no move. I may make a random move. I may make an obvious move. I'm not inclined to make very stupid or very lucky moves, even when these are selected randomly.

I will not count truly vacant positions towards the total number of players when determining the number needed to lynch. I will not allow a lynch to immediately result from declaring a position vacant.

[Kelly Chen]

All but two have picked up their roles, so

Day 1

You guys are all visiting this deserted ghost town. You are looking for as yet undiscovered plant species. Your peaceful mission takes a scary turn when someone's pet dog turns up shaved, dead, and pale, wires and widgets sticking out of him, the victim of a botched assimilation job. Someone's pet pig is also found dead, the victim of an acid-laced mauling. Some kind of weird monster head-shaped indentation has been created in the upper part of the pig's facial bones.

This must mean there are borg mafia and alien mafia among you!

With 19 alive, it will take 10 votes to drop somebody into the molten steel pit at the edge of the town.

Go go go!

EDIT: Oh yeah, deadline March 7!

I am disappointed to report that there is only one player who hasn't posted since Wednesday (spectrumvoid) and she's posted in the VLA thread. I didn't get to prod anybody.

So we will try this again. On Thursday I will prod everyone whose last post was Sunday or earlier.

[Kelly Chen]

Should be just these people who haven't posted since Friday:

livingod, milkman, spectrumvoid

If you mean to ask why I'm not extending back the same amount of time, it's that I'm more lenient towards less posting on weekends.

You rough up al4xz a bit and start pushing him towards the steel pit. (There are some strange robotic or hissing noises coming from some of you while walking there...) This guy al4xz doesn't seem like he's in the crew. Nope, he surely doesn't.

Sadly he isn't able to fish acceptable ID out of his pocket until he's already in mid-descent! His very human body bursts into flame!

al4xz -

Townie

And so it is night. Let's have night moves in within four days tops (that would be Friday morning for me, 96 hours from this post).

[Kelly Chen]

Day 2

You all wake up to but a single corpse. Unfortunately it is a rather big one. Twito is kaput. He was the Ripley piece, who once housed a baby mother alien and consequently had a knack for determining aliens from humanoids.

Twito -

Ripley

- killed Night 1

You all resolve to remember Twito by doing what he would have wanted most: to aggressively lynch all those mafia. Good luck town, and rest in peace Twito-Ripley.

Ok so you guys heave Bogre up onto your shoulders. Gonna toss him into the steel. Picardcop might've investigated him and found out he was Borg. Maybe because his name sounds like "Borg." Great plan admittedly. Unfortunately... this guy is not scum!

Bogre -

Townie

- lynched Day 4


Night 4 descends; I would like to receive moves within

78 hours

(sometime Wednesday afternoon). Good luck guys!

[Kelly Chen]

Day 5

Once again... One death! But it was a good one!

It turns out that for all the talking Jack did he was just a foul Alien the whole time!

Jack -

Alien

- killed Night 4



With 11 alive and 11 present, it is 6 to lynch! Scum retain the majority! The Borg are in the lead!

Tentative autodeadline: Wednesday

May 2nd

, four weeks from today.

[Kelly Chen]

Oh yes. And everyone who doesn't post in 48 hours will get a prod. I'm a little uncertain if everyone's around.

[Kelly Chen]

I have to stop saying I'm going to do things on Friday afternoons.

Rule commentary: A scum faction only requires one or more living townies, in order to win by making up merely half of living players instead of a majority. This is because if all townies are dead and a scum faction only makes up half of living players, that means the other scum group also makes up half of living players, which is the condition for everybody losing the game.

Prodding: milkman, TheJiveMachine

[Kelly Chen]

They can win if at that time (the time that the last townie/s is/are now dead) they comprise a majority. But not if they only comprise half.

M4yhem -

Alien

Note that if the scum groups kill two town tonight it will be 4 borg-2 alien-2 town which is GAME OVER with a borg mafia win!

"I was truthful! Don't lynch me!" ~N9V~ squeals as he bursts into flame inches from the bright red steel goo. And then falls into it.

~N9V~ -

Alien

- lynched Day 7


Night 7 falls! I would again like moves by this weekend.



There are 2 borg mafia, 1 alien mafia, and 2 protown remaining (one townie and the Newt).

The borg mafia can win the game if the last alien does not kill a borg tonight.

[Kelly Chen]

Day 8

Four of the five of you wake up in the morning to a single death: A little blonde girl.

Jalyn -

Newt

- killed Night 7

"We're the Borg," intone theopor_COD and Skruffs. theopor_COD lifts Nightfall by his human face and tosses him into the steel. Then he and Skruffs, having developed an immunity to acid and other alien attacks, team up on spectrumvoid and assimilate her.

Nightfall -

Townie

- endgamed Day 8
spectrumvoid -

Alien

- endgamed Day 8

"Nice job Skruffs, thanks for replacing," says theopor_COD as they high five and beam back up to their cube with the defeated alien.

theopor_COD -

Borg

- Survived
Skruffs -

Borg

- Survived


Congratulations Borg! theopor_COD, Skruffs, milkman, and Yosarian2 win!



Moves coming up in a minute.

[Kelly Chen]

ROLES:

Borg

: Yosarian2, milkman, Skruffs, theopor_COD

Aliens

: spectrumvoid, ~N9V~, M4yhem, Jack

Picard

: Fircoal

Ripley

: Twito

Worf

: livingod

Newt

: Jalyn

Townies

: Nightfall, Battle Mage, Akbar, Bogre, Smashy, Panzerjager, al4xz

MOVES:

Day 1:
al4xz lynched (townie)

Night 1:
Twito investigates Panzerjager (not Alien, but Twito dies)
Fircoal investigates Panzerjager (not Borg)
livingod jails ~N9V~
Cheesefan stays home
Borg send theopor_COD to kill Twito (succeeds, Ripley)
Aliens send ~N9V~ to kill Fircoal (fails, ~N9V~ jailed)

(Meaning the town almost lost both cops Night 1. I was really relieved when I saw livingod's move.)

Day 2:
Panzerjager lynched (townie)

Night 2:
Fircoal investigates livingod (not Borg)
livingod jails Bogre
Cheesefan stays home (NMR)
Borg send theopor_COD to kill M4yhem (fails, Alien unnk used up)

Jalyn visits Fircoal (and survives, but Fircoal dies)
Borg send theopor_COD to kill Fircoal (succeeds, Picard)
Aliens send Jack to kill Fircoal (succeeds, Picard)

(This was the only move the Newt made, and it was inconsequential. Maybe I should combine the best aspects of Miriam and Newt next time.)

Day 4:
Bogre lynched (townie)

Night 4:
Jalyn stays home
Borg send theopor_COD to kill Jack (succeeds, Alien)
Aliens send M4yhem to kill Yosarian2 (fails, Borg unnk used up)

Day 8:

Borg victorious

[Kelly Chen]

I am pretty happy with this game despite the rocky start.

More comments later I'm sure.

[Kelly Chen]

BM you should be flattered that both scum groups thought you were such a threat. Heheh

[Kelly Chen]

Talking a bit in chat about this, a thing or two I wondered.

Is it true that the reason the Aliens tried to kill Fircoal a second time is that they believed he was Borg? That's the obvious explanation, but it came up so I'll ask.

Also, curious about SV's decision to kill Jalyn? I was surprised by it myself. Curious about SV's other top suspects there.

At the time, I thought M4yhem's post-scum-claim speculation about who might be Borg was highly damaging to his side, since none of them were Borg, and taking M4yhem as sincere the Borg could correctly guess that none of them were Alien:

I think Jalyn might be scum with Yos, because she tried to get my bandwagon moving without actually having the guts to vote for me; spectrumvoid and Akbar are possibilities too, for the same reason. My gut tells me BM is town.

At least he did put SV in there.

The Aliens knocking off milkman instead of Yos was pretty sweet.

[Kelly Chen]

She hid with Fircoal on the night he was killed.

@Akbar
I'm not wild about the idea of making the Newt's findings public.

The way Miriam worked was like a normal hider. Her advantage over Newt was that she was unnk if she hid with town. But her disadvantage was that if she hid with town

that got NKed

she would die also.

So Jalyn hiding with Fircoal would've been fatal if she'd been Miriam rather than Newt.
