Blackbird: forum

Backstory

The Leader of the mafia is currently relaxing in a small, very secluded village in the mountains. He has a summerhome here, and enjoys the break time from his usual dealings for the family. Then a thought struck him: Why not create a village for his family, with no one but his family there? It could be his fortress, his greatest achievement. The village would be ideal for it. Unkown, tiny, surrounded by mountains, with only one road leading to it. He only has four of his most trusted family members with him, and two more guarding the road. Not enough to deal with an entire village. But while he is still planning how best to take the village for himself, one of his men storms into his room. "It's Jonny!" He gasps. "Jonny is warning the citizens of the plan!"

By the time they reach the bar it's already far too late. What ever Jonny had said had convinced many people to leave the town. The only ones remaining either didn't believe Jonny, didn't care or didn't hear of the events.

The Leader is furious. The guards would somehow have to take care of the people leaving, while he and his men and had to deal with the remaining people. There was no way reinforcements would make it fast enough. But first to go is Jonny. No one likes rats.

This is a mafia game

Complete your teams goal to win! The village wins when the mafia and the killing neutrals are dead. Vote during the days to execute another player. The mafia wins if the villagers and killing neutrals are dead. Kill one person each night and deceive the villagers at daytime. The neutrals have their own goals

Rules:

- Roles are chosen by RNG shortly before the game starts.

- No talking in night time in this forum thread, though I'm always to happy to see cute animals. You may have 15 minutes discussion time after the day ended. Don't we all like to talk about what happened during the day before going to bed? The executed counts as dead and is not allowed to contribute anything though. The mafia can talk over a Discord chat for them

- No one is allowed to post the mail they will receive concerning their role, though you may post any event I send you, as long as I don't specificly say you aren't allowed to.

- Voting: You are allowed to vote no one. Joke votes and voting yourself will count as voting no one. A vote only counts if it is bolded, and if the post containing the vote is not edited. If a vote is tied, no one get executed.

- Each day and each night will take 24 hours, and will switch at 19:00 TCT.

- If someone is inactive they will get a message from me after 24 hours. If they don't show activity I will replace after 48 hours, or at least try to.

- Several roles will get a perk if they remain active (voting a player each day, at least 2 other posts concerning the game without role playing, though roleplaying is allowed.) The perks are explained beneath the role list, and will go into effect at the switch from Day 4 to Night 4, which I will mention then of course.

- Dead people can't add to discussion.

- Don't talk about the game with other participants outside the game, if your role doesn't allow it.

- Cheaters will get a very painful death by the bartender.

- Don't try to sabotage the game in any way.





Thanks to Bravekath, Tempest and Denmon for giving me my ideas for the perks and general procedures.

Please don't join the game if you can't stay active.

There are two NPCs, Jonny, who will be killed by the mafia Night 1, and the Bartender (me) who takes no sides, and will take care of voting, questions and cheaters :P. Both are only important for the story telling part.

Timmy was a nice little fly, everyone loved him. But one day he was found dead, trampled. Struck with grief his friends decided to avenge him! Or maybe they were just out for more power to begin with, who knows.

This is a mafia game. And not a particularily easy one. If you have never played mafia before, this is not a good game to start with, you should have at least basic knowledge of how mafia games work. Also, mafia games take time, so be sure to have at least half an hour daily for this, and are able to keep up with reading the thread.

Warning: This game has some diffrent mechanics that will take some getting used to. Furthermore there are a lot of night abilities that can screw up everyones powers, so don't rely on them too much, you will need discussion to win this. This is a bastard game.


Rules:
- Don't copy paste anything the hosts send you or fake rolecards. You may rephrase though.
- No game related discussions at night, and dead people may also no longer contribute.
- Please don't share any game knowledge with other players outside the thread if your role does not allow it.
- Please post daily and participate. If you fail to post at least one game relevant post a day or miss a vote, you will get a strike. If you collect too many, we will try to replace you.


Votes:
- Please vote either like this: Vote Beesword or like this VOTE BLACKBIRD
- Vote everday, though you may vote abstain.
- Whoever gets most votes dies, if there is a tie no one dies.
- Two rules apply as long as there are more than 10 players remaining in game.
- If someone is executed, the person with the second most votes will have two votes the next day.
- If someone is executed, the person with the third most votes will be able to cancel a vote the next day.


We are looking for 20 players, plus one volunteer. If you wish to volunteer just add that to the join message. If the game is full don't hesitate to join as replacement.

Hope we can all have fun with this!

You wake up in a large hall with a few other people. Some of you might recognise a few friends, some will only see strangers. You check your surroundings and can only find one door leading to a room for each of you to sleep in. No windows, no way out. Finally you find a note.

Each of you has diffrent talents and diffrent goals. Use those talents to work with people sharing your goals and kill anyone opposing you. There are only two ways to escape this place. Win against your enemies or die.

 

This is a mafia game! Try to complete your teams goals to win!

It's a hidden roleset (I loved that game Hino). Therefore I would like to take no more than 3 people who have never played a forum mafia game before, since it might be a bit harder than most. Also, please note that these kinds of games require time and will last for a while.

 

 

Rules:

1. Don't talk about the game outside this thread as long as your roles does not permit it.

2. We will have 24 hour days and nights (starting and ending at 7pm tct). You may vote and discuss at day, but not at night.

3. You may NOT post anything I send you.

4. You may vote no one. Bold your vote like this Vote Blackbird for it to count. I will not count unbolded votes. If a tie happens no one dies. If you want to change your vote, dont edit the first but vote in another post.

5. If you are dead you may not post anything helpful.

Welcome heroes. Welcome to the land of life and death.
If you dare enter and take the challenge you will be faced with Death's curse, weakening you. You will face the fallen heroes who came before you and chose to restore their powers instead of fighting Death's hold on the land.
You will be tempted. Getting power from Death will make you stronger, but it will also make Death stronger.
Death cannot be allowed to rule these lands...
Now, will you dare it? Will you enter and see if you can save this world?


This is a mafia game! Though it has some mechanics to be aware of.
You will notice all town roles to be weakened, and every townie will have an extra ability together with their role specific ones, which will allow them to call upon a patron. A player from the graveyard (dead player) may agree to become your patron which will take all restrictions off of your role for the rest of the game. (You will not be able to talk with them)
Warning: Each time a townie uses this ability Death becomes stronger, which will bring various effects with it.

Note:
- Only town is weakened, and effects caused by the Death mechanics will also largely affect only town. If no one uses the patron ability town will be too weak, but if too many use it, the negative effects of Death will become more of a hindrance as well.
So, welcome to a game all about the balance of your choices!
- Ghosts play a bigger role in this game than in others. So if you die, please join the graveyard discord, and continue on participating! You will find an info channel there that will inform you how the graveyard in this game is diffrent than usual.
- There are two hosts this game, --Chaos-- and me. Chaos is the death host and will largely see to the graveyard and manage the death mechanic. I will be doing the day changes and am the person to send your actions to.

Rules:

- Roles are chosen by RNG shortly before the game starts.
- No game related talking in night time in this forum thread, if you are dead you may also no longer contribute game related in the thread, and no game talk outside the thread with other participants if your role doesn’t allow it.
- Don't copy paste anything we send you, you may rephrase it though.
- Voting: A vote only counts if it is bolded (For example: Vote Blackbird), and if the post containing the vote is not edited. If a vote is tied, no one gets executed. You may abstain, in which case you will need to Vote Abstain.
- Each day and each night will take 24 hours, and will switch at 18:00 tct.
- Activity: Please post at least three game related posts and one vote every day, if you do not do so without telling us (something can always come up after all), you will get a strike. After two strikes we will replace or modkill you.
- This game is diffrent for ghosts. If you die, please join the graveyard server if possible. Do not share anything you read in there with living players.


If you would like to join, please post below, and give yourself a name for the game! (You don't have to use it to address each other during the game if you don't want to.)

This is an open game with no sign up requirements apart from being active. I will need to call it a bastard game, but only because I cannot give the witch role to a new player, as it requires at least a little experience with mafia games. If rng picks a new player for this role I will need to reroll it, hence making it a bastard game for rigged rng. There are no other bastard elements in this game, and no other role will be affected by this.
And a shout out to Hino for helping me with balance, making some roles more fun, and for the idea to add a witch (called janitor here)!

For new players:

This is a mafia game. At day the town may try to find out who the mafia are and vote to execute a fellow player. At night the mafia team will choose a member of town to murder. Mafia wins when all town are dead, and the town win when all mafia are dead.


Rules:
- No game related talking outside the thread, or during night time in this forum thread. If you are dead you can join the graveyard chat on discord to talk, otherwise you may only post game unrelated things at night time.
- Don't copy paste anything I send you, you may rephrase it though.
- Voting: A vote only counts if it is bolded (For example: Vote Blackbird), and if the post containing the vote is not edited. If a vote is tied, no one get executed. You may vote for a no lynch once.
- Each day and each night will take 24 hours, and will switch at 19:00 TCT.
- Activity: please post at least three game related posts every day, if you do not do so without telling me (something can always come up afterall), you will get a strike. After two strikes I will replace you.
- No game throwing, real or fake
- Please don't bring out of game drama into the game
- Rulebreakers will, depending on severity, either get a hated modifier (+1 vote on them every day) or may get modkilled.

Roles:

Doctor (1): You are the doc staying with the patients, making sure there are no medical complications. Each night you can go check on one of the patients to make sure they are asleep and healthy as they should be. You will be informed if your patient was awake at night.
Your patients will know you visited them, though they will not know who you are.

Nurse (1): You are part of the staff here and go visit one of the patients each night, watching over them carefully in case there are some medical complications. The person you visit cannot die the night you visit them. You can only protect each player once per game.

Patient (9): You are just a typical patient, here for some good sleep, which you will get. The drugs work perfectly. FINALLY some good rest!

Paranoid (1): Your massive paranoia makes it hard for you to sleep and to trust anyone, including the nice doctors here. You are very tired, so you usually manage to get yourself to take the pills you are given. But on three evenings you decide to not trust. You don't take your pills and you stay awake the night. Not taking the pills you are supposed to take seems to enhance your paranoia, so far that you are sure anyone entering your room is out to kill you. And so you take out the gun you hid, and shoot anyone trying to enter your room in the nights you spend awake.

Executive (2): Enraged by your fellow executives just dipping out your Sleep Camp company and starting Sleep Camp Inc to use your ideas with none of the legal issues the... unfortunate deaths of your patients brought, you decide to smuggle yourself into their program. If they flee the old scandal all you have to do is create a new one, correct?
Each night you may kill one person. Please join the mafia chat provided to coordinate your kill and who performs it.

Godfather (1): Coming from a land full of secrets you were looking for some peaceful rest. But no sooner as you arrive in at Sleep Camp Inc you realize something interesting is going on, and you quickly join the murderous fun and take the lead over your more inexperienced new mafia members.
You look perfectly good and innocent to everyone. Very adapt at tricking people, you will always look asleep to the Doctor.

Janitor (1): You are just here to do your job. And you really need this job. So when the problems start and people die all you can think about is that you need to keep this job a bit longer until you can find a new one...
So, to prevent either side to reach their goal too fast, you start locking one person into their room each night, keeping them from doing anything that night.
You win if the game reaches Night 6, no matter if you are still alive or not.


Added info here cause it doesn't stop coming up, even after posts in game:
- The Godfather can kill
- The Doctor is a neapolitan, meaning they learn if someone is a vanilla town or not
- The Janitor can only roleblock and does not protect
