Yeah, you may be right. I'd like to keep that Seer as-is though, just to spice things up and enter a random element into it. Here are the rules (without adding the wolf duke yet. And sorry, too lazy to re-format)

I'm sending out roles in like 4-5 hours, so let me know what changes you guys would recommend. Oh, and thanks for all the help! We have 15 players signed up, so I'm thinking 12-3 ratio

Here are the official rules for the game.

Please, no posts here until I post the backstory

This will be a basic game like TSW #1, but with a few new components mixed in. I've highlighted in Red any changes from last game, but please read the complete rules.

We will use a 24 hour deadline with a 11 AM PST deadline. This means that for 24 hours it will be 'night' and the mafia will decide who to hit while the innocents try to figure things out. At 11 AM, someone will die and day will come. For the next 24 hours, it will be daytime and the innocents will vote to lynch someone they think is a mafia member.

Mafia is a game of lying, cheating and deceit.

Each day you will vote for one person to be lynched. The player who receives the most votes will be killed. In the event of a tie the longest-held unchanged vote will break the tie.

Each night the mafia will submit a player they want to kill.

All actions will be processed using a deadline of Noon PST.

Rules

Undetermined number of Gamblers and Mafia to start the game
There is no editing of posts for whatever reason.
There is no quoting of PM's received from the game director.
There is no discussion of the game anywhere other then this thread.
PM's between mafia members only are allowed, PM's between anyone else (aside from me) are not allowed.

Voting

Votes for a player will be submitted in bold, for example

VOTE COOLEY

you may unvote a player and revote a player

UNVOTE COOLEY
VOTE PEACEMAKER


Roles

Good

Gambler: You are a member of the general public, and have no extra powers

Poker Pro: You can get a read on people quickly and easily. Each night, you can do 2 actions.

1) You can scan another living player to determine if they are Gambler or Mafia (but not if they have a specific role)

2) You can peek another living player to get a read on them. This first read is correct 2/3rds of the time. If you peek the same player twice, you will be given a 100% accurate read on them.

You do not have to use both actions each night-phase

Security Guard: You're a former cop and a loose cannon. You hate bad guys and love to protect the people. Each night you can select one player to protect from a Mafia Kill.

High Roller: You're a multi-millionaire here to feed your gambling fix away from the bright lights of the strip. Once, in the entire game, you can use your money and influence to change the outcome of the lynch to the player of your choosing. It will be announced that you are the High Roller at the time of the change.

Evil

Mafium: You are out to kill everyone and everything. Each night you select a player to hit.

The Don: If killed you can select a player to take with you to the grave.

Items

Items will be given one of two ways. Either given to someone starting off the game, or dropped during the game. Items may only be used at night, and can be passed. However, they can't be passed and used the same night. So if A passes the knife to B on Night 1, then B can't use the knife until the Night 2 at the earliest. I must be PM'd on any passes to make them "official", passes in-thread don't count.

Croupier's Stick: Gives you a 50% chance of surviving a night attack

Kitchen knife: Allows you to perform a one time night kill on any player

Stool: gives you a 25% chance of surviving a night attack

Jail Key: You may use this one time to "lock up" a player and they will be unable to perform their night action for one night

Victory Conditions

The Mafia win with a 1:1 ratio of Mafia to Gamblers

The Gamblers win with all Mafia eliminated.

Sign up in the other thread if you want in. The Mafia will know each other. No one else will know jack.


* - Subject to change if the people advising me on how to run this tell me I've made some fatal flaw or the rules unbalanced.

Again, please no posts in this thread until I open the game via posting the backstory and PM'ing roles.

This should be a fun one!
