Welcome to Mafia: The Gathering - You Pick the Card Edition!


Disclaimer: This was not originally my idea, but when Burning_Earth pulled the plug on it a year ago I volunteered to run a version of the idea myself.

The game is a Standard Mafia game (no bastard elements) with the added twist that your roles will be fashioned after Magic: The Gathering cards that you pick yourselves! Everyone should get at least one ability of some kind (unless your chosen card is Grizzly Bears, in which case you're just asking to be Vanilla). Alignment will be determined independently of roles, at random, after you have made your card choices. Card choices must be made by PM, after you've signed up for the game in this thread but before the sign-ups close (which will be approximately 48 hours after Curse of the Blood Witch ends). It will be entirely possible, based on your card choices, that the Mafia team might not have a night kill. Not all powers will be created equal, as I have to keep game balance in mind. The alignments in the game will be as follows:
Alignment Breakdown

The Town win condition is to eliminate all Mafia aligned players. The Mafia win condition is to eliminate all Town aligned players. The Self aligned player, if there is one, will have a unique win condition that varies based on the card they chose and sometimes an alternate win condition of surviving to the end of the game (depending on the card). A Self aligned player who achieves their win condition before the game's end is removed from the game while play continues for the remaining players.

Here's an example of what your role PM would look like if the card you had chose was Chainer's Edict:
Example Town Role PM
Example Mafia Role PM
Example Self Role PM


Game Rules
1. Respect your fellow players and game mod.
2. Have fun. :)
3. Bold all votes. Coloured votes can help, but are not required. Unvoting is not required to place a new vote.
3a. Do not attempt to hide votes using invisible text or sblocks.
4. Do not edit your posts.
5. Once you are dead, do not post. Not even a "bah" post. Opportunities for Resurrection might exist, so please keep that in mind.
6. Refrain from posting at Night.
7. A lynch requires a majority vote (defined as 50% of living players, rounded down, +1). Anything less results in No Lynch.
8. Days will last approximately 7 days. Nights will last approximately 2 days. Neither will ever end on a Saturday or Sunday, and will be extended to ensure that is not the case.
8a. Deadlines are hardset. Votes after a deadline will not be counted, even if I am not around to end the day.
9. Do not quote anything I have sent to you by PM. You may paraphrase.
10. Have fun!! Yes, this is on here twice. It is an important rule. :)

Breaking any of these rules is punishable by modkill.

Sign ups are CLOSED. You may still sign up as a replacement player.

This game will contain no bastard elements, such as millers, babyface, insane or paranoid cops, etcetera.

What would be the time commitment on this? I'm interested, but not sure if I can keep up...

I don't know. Mafia is intimidating.

Not entirely sure when it will start (because it is dependent on the current game ending), nor how long it will last. I would expect you to try and keep up with the game, which usually requires at least checking the game thread daily for updates. As far as posting goes, as long as you post once every other day or so, or inform me if you'll be gone longer than that, I'd be satisfied.

Yeah, my summer is much too complicated for me to commit to anything. I'm out.

I think I'll play with this account. If I don't, I'm pretty sure you all know who I am.
