Stockport: A Mafia Story (Episode 1) - replacements welcome
Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2018 9:43 am
All seems peaceful in the village of Stockport. Everyday life is running its course and it appears as if everybody in this village gets along really well. Things couldn't be further from the truth though, as the people in this town all have secrets and reasons to hate each other. It's only a matter of time before something happens...
Spoiler: Episode 1 preview
Welcome to Stockport: A Mafia Story: Episode 1. The village of Stockport and all of its inhabitants are fictional. We have already met the village mayor, Gabriel Jones. The rest of the current Stockport villagers can be found here. Whatever happens to Gabriel Jones and the rest of the villagers depends on you!
That's right. Together we will start a fictional series of games, where the actions and the life of the Stockport villagers is in the hands of the mafia players who sign up for the games. The game works exactly as any other mafia game, with a few exceptions:
- Every villager who is a part of the game has 2 abilities: a positive ability which will help their faction win the game, but also a negative ability which is something you'll have to overcome in order to win the game for your faction.
- Every villager also has a secret second win condition. It's prohibited to discuss your secondary win condition at all. You can only win the game by completing your second win condition, while also
having your faction win the game. So do whatever it takes to achieve this! If you mention your 2nd win condition in any way you will automatically lose the game, or even be modkilled. Play to your win conditions as much as you can! Don't put your faction in a worse position just because you want to achieve your second win condition. Also, don't put your faction in a better position by throwing your secondary win condition. Both of these actions will result in you losing the game.
- I'm sure you've heard the sentence "Life isn't fair" a bunch of times before. Well that's exactly what's going on in these games too. Balance isn't guaranteed. Bastard roles may or may not be in the game. Some games will be hard for the town to win, others will be hard for the mafia to win. Like I said, life isn't fair. Deal with it.
- Fakeclaims will be provided when needed. Not all villagers will play a part in each episode in order to achieve this. This happens to make sure the game cannot be broken by flavor
- People are still removed from the game in a similar fashion as other mafia games: players can get lynched and nightkilled. However, these terms don't mean your character will die, necessarily. What really happens when your character is lynched, nightkilled or survives the game, has been determined before the start of the game
- Please understand that this is in some ways a test game, in order to see if the storyline building works out as well as I hope it will. The secondary win conditions have been added in order to add an extra dimension to the game. I hope they'll add more fun to the game, but if they're a hinderance, they'll be removed for future games.
- I will try and provide flavor as much as possible, but because the identity of the players is a secret, it will probably be limited to flips mostly. I'll figure it out as the game progresses.
- If the first game proves to be a success, there will be more(and possibly bigger) episodes.
Episode 1 is going to be a 9 player game, mod-confirmed to be 7 town vs 2 mafia. Please read the rules and mechanics in the OP, as some of them are different from a standard mafia game. I'm considering this game to be mostly a test game to see how far I can take everything. I'm hoping this game will be exciting and fun and I'm almost confident the mechanics don't ruin the actual game(lol?).
No hydras allowed for this game, it's complicated enough as it is.
