Ninja Mafia - Game thread

Rule Highlights





The game takes place over two rounds per day, a 12 hour night round and a 12 hour day round.

During the day round, all villagers may explore the village and possibly find useful items. But beware, the ninjas have also laid booby traps around the place which may result in unpleasant consequences if tripped.

Suspicious villagers vote to lynch one of the players. The innocents must try to use the lynchings to eliminate the Ninjas and the Ronin. The Ninjas may join in with the lynch mob and try and direct the fury of the mob against the Ronin and/or against hapless, innocent other villagers.

During the night rounds, the Ninja Team and the Ronin kill one victim each. Certain players may also be able to perform day or night actions by virtue of the secret objects they may find during their day round explorations.


Victory Conditions

For the Innocent Samurai to win, the Ninjas and Ronin must be completely eliminated.

For the Ninjas to win, they must

A/ Kill the Ronin and
B/ Be able to form an unbeatable voting block - by outnumbering all the remaining innocent players in the game or by equalling the remaining innocents but gaining an advantage in the day time lynch vote by voting first and thus gaining superiority.

The Ronin only wins by literally being the last player alive. The Ronin does not hold any allegiances nor form any alliances.

This is a team game so even if you die during the course of the game, if your team wins then you are a winner too.

Characters

Players may not reproduce, copy, screen shoot or otherwise use the text, time, content or any other aspect of their game role PM to try to prove who they are to other players. Players caught doing this will earn evil, rather horrid sanctions, the least of which will probably include being God....errr, Mod-killed.

The Ninjas will all know the identity of the members of their own group and be able to coordinate activities and strategies.

The Bad Guys


The Ninjas - Led by The Ninja Sensei, the Ninja team kills 1 victim per night and also places boobytraps throughout the village which may be tripped during a day round. Ninjas try to blend into the crowd when they're not out killing innocents, but there are certain ways that Ninjas can be identified. Player investigations, Mod clues and other game related items will aid innocents in identifying the Ninja minions. But beware, the Ninja Sensei will always appear to be innocent to any non-Ninjas.

There are some things that may protect you from Ninja attack - but we'll let you work out what they are.

The Ninjas cannot recruit another player. This is a non-recruiting game. No players can switch allegiances.

The Ronin- There is a Ronin loose in the village that roams the streets at night and slakes their bloodlust with a strike of their blood stained katana. The Ronin will appear guilty on any investigation.

The Good Guys

Anyone not a Ninja or the Ronin are termed "Innocent Samurai". Their role PM reads :-

"You are an innocent Samurai".

However, there is at least one innocent role that appears guilty on investigation.

There are two potential Kamikaze players - one Ninja and one Innocent. If the opposing player is killed, then the surviving Kamikaze is activated. The surviving kamikaze will have the option to kill themselves and one other player of their choice during a day round of their choosing. If the activated kamikaze is killed or lynched, they will also take out their killer or one of the players who voted for them for lynching. There is no risk to other players if they kill or vote to lynch an unactivated kamikaze.

There are NO specials in this game, apart from the kamikazes and the Ninja Sensei.

All players, including the bad guys, may explore the village and select Game Mod provided options. Some are useful, some are not, some are decidedly dangerous.

Game Play

Day Rounds

During a day round, the following events can take place:

A. Each player can vote for another player to be lynched by publicly voting in the game thread. Voting is compulsory. Players who do not vote will be punished, up to and including being God...errr, Mod-killed and excluded from the game.

B. Each player may choose to do one action and one action only per day round, unless otherwise specified by the Game Mods. The request should be prefaced by "I WANT TO GO TO" in bold capitals and then select an option from the village locations available that day (a list of options will be posted at the start of each day round - some options may not be available on sequential days). When you get to your destination, you will be offered a choice of activities. You may choose one of the options, or elect to back away without penalty (but your day action will be complete and no more allowed)

At the end of the round, the player with the most lynch votes is subjected to a brutal death at the hands of the mob. In the event of a tie, the first player to reach the final vote tally shall be killed.

Night Rounds

During the 12 hour window of a night round, the following events can take place:

A. The Ninja team selects a victim to be killed. The Ninja team will also be informed by the Game Mods of the location of the boobytraps in the next daytime round.
B. The Ronin selects a victim to be killed.
C. Night time actions may be performed. These may include a range of activities, use of a protective item, use of a weapon, an investigation or something else.

The priority of events is

1. Protection
2. Ninja kills.
3. Ronin kills
4. Other player kills.
5. Investigations
6. Tracking
7. Other actions

Attempted kills on any protected player(s), will result in a message from the Game Mod(s) that the attempt was unsuccessful.

Being targeted for death by multiple players will result in a first come, first served basis, according to the above list of priorities.

CLUES

From time to time, players may stumble over clues left around the village. Some will be straightforward, some may take some working out. Clues may relate to the identity of players, or how to obtain a power or prize, or may just be the game Mod(s) fucking with you. I'm just that kind of person.

IMPORTANT
All game actions that are performed by PM must be sent to the Game Mod. If the GM does not receive notification of an action or change of action, it might not take place.

Baggage Check In

Players are requested to please check their baggage prior to their entry into the game. Players will have to pass through a security check prior to starting. Prohibited items include :-

* Previous grudges from around the forum.
* Previous grudges from another Mafia Game.
* Assumptions about current roles because of previous roles held in other Mafia games.
* Bad tempers, animosity and personal attacks.

Players are reminded that this is only a game and should be entered into with a positive spirit. You are requested to keep your sense of humour and fun on you at all times and to not take this game too seriously. Please refrain from bitching until after you have left the game and can bitch in the specially marked afterlife area.

Thank you !

[Durro]

The places you may visit today in the village include :-

* The Bath House
* The Snow Monkey Pool
* The Karate Dojo
* The Brothel
* The Shrine
* The Bonsai Garden
* The Bamboo Forest

Please indicate where you would like to visit by prefacing your request in bold with I want to go to...

When you arrive at your destination, you will be offered 2 to 3 choices of things to do there. Please bear in mind that I am at work during the first several hours of the round and may not be able to attend to your request immediately.

In the event that an item, clue or other advantage is found at the location/activity, the recipient will be PM'd by me to inform them.

If a player holding an item, clue or advantage is killed in either the day or night round, that item will be removed from the game permanently and will no longer be available to be found. Surviving items of interest will be redistributed around the village on subsequent days.

[Durro]

The ancient feud has reared its ugly head once more. Stealthily creeping into the village each night, the Ninjas bring silent death to their unwary victims and lay traps for innocent villagers to stumble upon and meet an early demise. And a blood-crazed Ronin operates independently, cutting down villagers without mercy. It is the mission of the honorable Samurais to hunt down and exterminate the band of Ninjas and the Ronin, before their own numbers are decimated by this plague of evil shadow warriors.

Good luck innocents, you may very well need it before the bloodshed is over... Voting – or assigning a proxy to do so on your behalf – is compulsory. Failure to do one of these will result in most heinous consequences.
