Mafia #12 Espionage Mafia :Night Phase

well, whoever put in the night kill on jonno is playing tactically. he's one of our best players, so we're a bit disadvantaged now.

this says to me, that that leader persony guy knows who the/a spy is- i dont know how many there are? so maybe, there's information to be had there with them.

this makes me think that someone investigated someone guilty last night.

Espionage Mafia

Hey Guys, i'm sorry about the delay for this, sadly my social life and other stuff is interfering with this the last few days, anyway due the lack of commitment or enthusiasm for the Medieval Mafia it shall be postponed. I wasnt able to convert that game into a smaller one due to balancing issues and thus the I try my best to create a game to be as unique as possible from normal mafia games while being in much smaller scale; Thus the Espionage themed Mafia is born! obviously this isn’t as polished as the other game due to the limited players availble, that shouldn't be a problem if everyone takes part tho XD. This minor hiccup is a one off, i wont be late for deadlines once the game starts.

Espionage: the systematic use of spies to get military or political secrets.

So ... am I to understand that there are two teams, like mafia and town? two equal teams? or what? I really have no idea how to work this out.

Quick Overview:

Espionage Mafia involves two opposing intelligence agencies who had infiltrated a terrorist movement in order to recover/obtain a formula for an extremely deadly biological agent. The game only involves 8 players and has 3 player roles. The first character role is the spy. The Spy’s objective is to eliminate the other team’s spy thus acquiring the said formula. Different spies will be assigned different abilities, such as the ability to kill a player, observe them, or the “chameleon ability”. Besides a team objective they also have a personalised individual objective, this may vary from eliminating a certain player, surviving the game, to outright betraying the team. Due to the nature of the game, full character roles would not be listed and will only be sent through PM. Character claiming is strictly forbidden as well as any form of communication between players. The game is small therefore I expect player commitment.

So, this is mainly for my own benefit- I'm just trying to work this out in my head by writing it all down and stuff.

-> two opposing intelligence teams both aiming to get a formula for some biological warfare.
-> 3 different roles- but ... what are they?
-> kill, obeserve and "chameleon" abilities. chameleon could be appearring the opposite allignment or something when investigated? idk.
-> each character may have an independant aim as well as the game aim.
-> no role-claiming.
-> no player to player communication outside the thread.

okay okay, there are day and night phases, Each player is either in KGB or the the CIA, the general aim of the game is try to eliminate the other team. but since each player initially do not know who the other team members are they have to try to use what-ever role they have to achieve their objective, so in that aspect you preety much play solo. if somehow you know of another person in your team or at-least you think is in your team then you can collaborate and stuff. So you still vote in day phase, your trying to vote off someone who you think is on the other team, and trying to convince the others to vote with you. well i think that covers it, since ppl are confused and stuff i'll extend the voting period to tmrw 6pm.

Oh, but look- a contradiction =.= so are we allowed to contact other players or not? And how the frogmint are you supposed to figure out anything if nobody can role-claim at all and you don't really have any way to verify anything unless you have an investigative role? and it's not likely that those with said ability are going to come and be like HEY! HERE I AM! right now.

can i just say that actually reading that was torture? the uncaring abuse of punctuation, tense and pov were just painful >.<

seconded. that is all. a good grasp of punctuation and grammar is important as a mod. so are paragraphs. nobody likes wall text.

I LOVE YOU, STERLING! Thank you for an intelligent contribution. You're an angel.

So basically, this is a rage post and ooruo because this game is going nowhere. Nobody knows what the azkaban is going on. The night stories are hard to make head nor tail off. Mod isn't clarifying anything and I'm getting annoyed at the culmination of it all.

You said earlier on that you expect player commitment. Fair enough, not all players have participated so far- but to be fair, neither have you. You've changed and missed deadlines. You haven't really explained the game properly and I think I speak for everyone when I say we are thoroughly confused as to what the frogmint we're supposed to be doing.
