NPF Mafia: Berserk Edition

[Incendius]

The Rules (Simplified, full version here)
1) There will be 30 players in this game. The Game Organizer will assign each player’s role at random, and will PM the roles to the players.

2) Of the 30, there will be 5 Mafia members. One of the Mafia is the Mafia Leader, and will report to the GO. The Mafia can communicate with each other through outside methods (PM, Instant Messenger, Email, etc.).

3) Of the 30, there will be one Police Officer. The Police cannot use outside methods of communication, except when talking to the GO.

4) Of the 30 there will be one Bodyguard. The Bodyguard cannot use outside methods of communication, except when talking to the GO.

5) READ THIS NEW STUFF: New to this NPF game are additional roles, some benefitting the town and others adding new threats. If you receive one of these roles I will explain them in the PM, but just for everyone else's sake, here is a small little rundown.

The Cult: The cult starts off as one person (the Cult Leader). Each Night the Cult Leader PMs the GO with the name of one person, and that person is 'initiated' into the Cult. Cult members can talk with each other outside the game. The Cult wins when all members of the Town are Cult.

The Serial Killer: The Serial Killer (SK) is one player, and will always stay one player. Each Night the SK PMs the GO the name of one player, and that player is killed. The SK is self-aligned (not associated with the mafia or town) and wins when he is the only Player remaining.

The Vigilante: The Vigilante (vig) is a town-aligned Player. Each night the vig may PM the name of one player, and that player is killed. The vig, like all townies, wins when all mafia are dead.

Masons: Masons are a group of townies who can talk outside the game.

6) The remaining number of players are Citizens. All discussions among Citizens must take place on this game thread.

***HONESTY GOES A LONG WAY***

Also, once killed, a poster is not told who is mafia and has no special knowledge the rest of you don't. Outside communication with living players is forbidden. Feel free to converse with your fellow dead/non-playing mates about the game.

---

The rounds will proceed as follows:

1. The 5 Mafia decide on one person to kill. If the members of the Mafia do not agree, then the Leader gets the final say. The Leader will PM the GO to report the target ASAP.

1a. The SK will PM the GO with who (s)he wants to target.

1b. The Cult leader will PM the GO with who (s)he wants to initiate. That player is then considered a member of the Cult.

2. The GO will announce who was murdered. Those players roles will be revealed at that time.

The GO will be come up with a brief narration on what happened overnight. Sometimes there will be a clue or a red herring from the story.

3. The Police Officer may investigate one player. The Police Officer will PM the GO with the name of the player to be investigated ASAP. The GO will respond to the investigation by informing the PO whether that player is Mafia or not.

4. The Bodyguard (a.k.a. Doctor) may choose to defend one player. The Bodyguard will PM the GO with the screen name of that player ASAP. If the protected person is hit by the Mafia, the hit fails and the person continues in the game.

The bodyguard may not protect him/herself.

The GO will write a story to explain the failed hit. The story may (at his discretion) contain implications to some number of players using the same rules as the death post.

5. All of the players spend the remaining days discussing whom they think is in the Mafia. They can judge this based on who was killed last, how suspicious their opponents sound, or anything else they want to use as evidence.

6. Each player will vote on who is to be lynched.

Votes for lynching are to be posted on the thread. To simplify collating the votes, each player will identify their vote with the words vote: username followed by the screen name of the person they vote for. Be sure to bold your vote (EXample; Vote: CallmePrismatic), or it will not count. Votes may be posted at any time after the deathpost goes up and will end 76 hours after the hit deadline.

Revisions. Players will be allowed any number of revisions. The last post with a revision in before the voting deadline will be the one that counts. If you wish to revise your vote it should be identified first with an Unvote (EXample; Unvote: CallmePrismatic), and then a new Vote: SomebodyElse.

If you post your vote prior to the opening of voting for the round, it will not be counted. Revisions to those votes posted within the voting period will be counted.

The GO will tally the votes, and announce the lynched person. The lynched person is then out of the game. The lynched person may respond to the lynching by saying something to everyone before death, but only has one post. The lynched person may afterwards haunt the thread but they may say nothing substantial to the game and should not spam.

In the event of a tied lynch vote, the voting period shall be extended for twenty-four hours. Players who wish to amend their votes may do so during this period.

Should a player PM their vote to the GO resulting in the tie being broken, then votes will stand as at the close of the voting window.

At the close of the extended deadline, if the lynch vote is still a tie then there will be no lynching that week.

7. There will be a 24 hour "deliberation" period for the mafia, PO, and BG to choose their next target, after which, the next round begins. Repeat until:

-The Mafia are all dead, and all the Citizens are winners (yes, even the dead ones.).
-The number of Mafia make up at least half of the remaining players, then the Mafia are the winners.

BONUS ERRATA: New to this edition are a few more game action you can perform duing the day;

Roleclaim: Roleclaims are what they sound like, telling everyone else what your role is. This is not to be confused with Copy and Pasting your PM, which will get you modkilled. Rolelclaiming is your word only, no GO verification.

No Lynch Vote: If you feel that nobody is acting scummy enough or you simply do not want to lynch anyone, you may Vote: No Lynch. If the majority of people vote to not lynch, no one dies and the game is shifted towards Night.

Is 30 required for this, or will you bump it down to less?

[Incendius]

It depends, if the no body wants to join, then I'll bump it down to less, but I'll wait a day or so to see.

[Major Blood]

Also, i noticed you pretty much copied and pasted the SP rules. Are there going to be any new roles connected to the theme of this game?

[Incendius]

There might be, but really, the roles fill in quite nicely with the characters. I am thinking about adding in some secret rolls though, it depends on how many join in.

Not just pretty much, he literally did! (Simplified, Full Version Here) Where there should be a link, there aint one. Not criticising, just pointing it out.

[CallmePrismatic]

I'm in. Should be a good way to learn about the Berserk universe.

Hmm, I think I should just make a thread for all the rules of the game. Maybe have it stickied and just have everyone post new rules and link to it. Without spoiler blocks it just makes the first post too clunky. I'll try to see if shiney would go for it.

Also, Roleplea: Someone who lives to Day 3.

[Incendius]

I don't think we shall touch up on any of the more delicate issues in the universe :p

Just need 13 more for 25, or 18 more for 30!

[Bailey]

I don't remember signing up.

I'm not complaining, just wish you'd asked me first.
