This is a roleplaying-type game set in a sleepy little town (more like a village) with a little over a dozen residents. However, this town is about to become a chess-like hunting game of strategy between an ambitious but small up-and-coming organised crime group and the small police force trying to hunt down the members. The crime group wants to seize control of the town and supplant their own members in the local police force, and the current Sheriff and Deputy want to keep them from doing so at all costs. As narrator, I shall take over the dialog and characters at key points to tell the story.
The key members of the game are:
- The Sheriff: He makes most of the decisions around the town, or rather, he thinks so. The citizens support him, and if more than half decide to go against what he wants, he can't do much to stop them. In game, 1 Sheriff vote to execute a suspected criminal counts as 2 citizen votes.
- The citizens: Ultimately, the citizens hold the power in the town. If the Mayor tries to do something that the citizens don't like, they clamour and protest to make them stop. The Mafia members are hidden among them...
-The Mafia members: these men/women work together to assassinate enough citizens at night to whittle down the group while at the same time manipulating them during the executions rounds. There's only one person who can tell for sure if someone's a Mafia member...
- The Undercover Investigator: the Investigator has shadowy connections and like the Mafia, hides among the Citizens. But his motives are much more benevolent: to investigate who's who among the citizens and manipulate the executions rounds to kill of Mafia members.
-The Doctor: the Doctor has medical and surgical knowledge, and is skilled enough that even after an assassination takes place, a citizen can be saved. However, this makes him a target... so secrecy in his movements is a must. The Doctor can stake out one Citizen's house a night, and if the Citizen he chooses is targeted, he may save the Citizen's life. He may even choose to set up what is needed to save himself from assassination.
The rules are simple: the game is separated into Night (Assassination) and Day (Execution) rounds. During the night, Mafia members PM me, the Narrator, with their votes as to whom should be assassinated. If their choice is unanimous, the chosen target will be taken out. If no decision is reached, the Citizen's are safe for another night. The Doctor will also PM me with the Citizen they want to guard for the night. If the Doctor chooses the assassination target, he will be able to save them from death. If the Sheriff is assassinated, a new sheriff will be chosen to take their place in the next Day round.
In the Day rounds, characters interact and cast votes on who they suspect to be the Mafia members. The Citizen to receive the most votes will be executed via hanging. ALL CITIZENS MUST VOTE DURING A DAY ROUND. This is not optional. During this round and before the execution, the Investigator may PM me with the name of the citizen they want to investigate. I will tell them if they are a Citizen, Mafia, or the Doctor. The Investigator may not outright say they know that the person they are voting for is Mafia: they must hide their identity.
If at the end of a Day Round, the Mafia members are equal or greater than the Citizens in number, the game is over. They will no longer lack the advantage of numbers and will massacre the remaining Citizens.
If you're interested in playing, then post and I'll add your name to the list. The game will run just like the old Werewolf game on the V2 forums. I'd like for at least a dozen people to join up.
