[Setup] Popcorn Mafia Redux

Setup Rules

This game uses a variant of the Popcorn Mafia open setup. That means that the following roles exist:
8 Vanilla Townies

4 Mafia Goons
1 Mafia Godfather


Copies of the Role PMs can be found below for your convenience.

Before the game starts, mafia must elect a townie to be the gunbearer. That player has until deadline runs out to shoot another player. If the gunbearer hits a mafia goon, the goon dies the gunbearer keeps the gun. If the gunbearer hits the godfather, the gunbearer and godfather both die and the mafia reassign the gun. If the gunbearer hits town, the gunbearer dies and the targeted townie becomes the new gunbearer.

If the gunbearer does not shoot by deadline, they die and the mafia pick a new gunbearer.

The gunbearer is always announced and confirmed as innocent.

This game is nightless.

Once during the game, if a goon is shot, the remaining scumteam then has 48 hours to vengekill one non-gunbearing player. During this time period the thread will remain unlocked but no shots from the gunbearer will be registered. The gunbearer's deadline will start as soon as the factional action is resolved.
If scum fails to select a target the factional kill is lost.

If the godfather is shot, the gunbearer dies, the godfather is then revealed to the game (as "dying") and scum has 48 hours to reassign the gun to a new player. The main thread will be locked during this duration. Once the scumteam assigns a new gunbearer, the godfather is considered dead and may no longer post in game or in the scum PT.



Sample Role PMs


Sample Town Role PM

Welcome to Popcorn Mafia, [Player name]!

You are a
Vanilla Townie
.

You have no special abilities.

The game thread is here. Good luck!



Sample Mafia Godfather Role PM


Welcome to Popcorn Mafia, [Player name]!

You are a
Mafia Godfather
. Your partners are [Player name], [Player name], [Player name] and [Player name], who are all Mafia Goons.

During the game, you may communicate using this Private Topic. Your faction must pick a new Gunbearer at the beginning of the game AND when a Gunbearer has not used their shot before deadline hits and therefore dies.

During the game, if one of your faction is shot (maximum of once in the game), your team gains a factional kill. This kill may be used on any player not currently carrying the gun. You will have 48 hours from the time you gain this kill to declare a target. If no target is declared, the kill is lost.

During the game, if you are shot, the gunbearer will die. You then have 48 hours to reassign the gun to another living townie. Once the gun is assigned, you will die. If your team fails to reassign the gun, the moderator will reassign the gun randomly.

You win when your faction gains half or more of the town's population.
