There's been several games of Mafia and all of them have been successful. So its time for a new game. This time though, there's a couple of minor differences. Namely, instead of a village, this game will be set in a college, cut off from the world during a severe snowstorm and stalked by a trio of killers. Due to the setting, there won't be any lynchings, instead, people will be locked in a room overnight. But this will leave them open to being killed by one of the trio (approximately a 50/50 chance).
The goal for the students and faculty is to survive until help can arrive by the end of the seventh day. The killers' goal - make sure there are no survivors.
Once a night, the trio will choose someone to kill, as per usual. The rest of the rules are the same as usual.
Anyway, I'll be looking for at least 10 people to play this game; but as always, the more, the merrier.
1. De_la_nae
2. Loki
3. Unicorn
4. Gareth (and apparently, Gareth's erection)
5. TRVA123
6. Game and Watch Forever
7. Cesium133
8. Linds
9. Black Sword
10. Henri Bemis
11. Riccostar

Tentative in.
-
I shall be joining, if you don't mind that about 79% of my knowledge about American college culture comes from watching Gilmore Girls.

Thats funny, because I'm Irish :-D
Just imagine it as an incredibly generic type of college.
-
Ugh, nope. Sounds like I'd be as confused as in Mafia 4.
-
Not sure I'm in for this one yet, but I am intrigued. How exactly do you survive if you don't aim to kill the killers? Are we choosing who we're locking out, or what?
-
also where's the logic behind "we think you're killing people so we're gonna lock you up overnight but don't worry, we'll let you out in the morning"
-
ugh, whatever, I'm in I guess.
-
In short, there'll be a "deranged" survivor, who'll be after the killers. But for the most part, the rest are students who are just trying to survive. But as the days go on, they might have to resort to killing suspects as cabin fever sets in. As for locking up, it'll work like voting for lynching but people will be locked for the night while the others look for evidence.
There'll be clearer rules in the main game when it starts.
If it helps, just imagine it like a slasher film.
-
"We can't just kill him!"
"But he's the killer!"
"But we don't *know* that!"
"So what else do we do?!"
"I dunno man, lock him up or something?"
-
Count me and my erection in.
Although I guess we can just play as a team on this one occasion.
-
I'm in
-

Thematically, I'm imagining that we're only letting them out if we feel they're not the killer after more discussion/evidence. Otherwise, they're merely screaming at us their arguments through the door. Of course, the actual gameplay mechanics may work against that and a different thematic view may be needed in that case, but my point is that with what's given so far, I can see at least one possibility that doesn't stretch slasher movie logic too much.
I'm in, Evil. Looking forward to it.
-
I'm in.
-
I'm in. I've been watching a lot of horror movies lately because I've been sick. (What. They make me feel better.)
-
Excellent. Excellent. Just another couple of victi- I mean players, and we can begin.
Also, horror films are an excellent way of feeling better when you're ill.
-
This is made a bit more amusing for me in that the university I'm at has told everyone to get out by 1:30 because of the snow, and, being a grad student, I don't get to leave for a bit of snow. :roll:
-
I'm not joining in, but this is making me think I should necro my Schlocky Horror Picture Show (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,28438.0.html) thread.

"My innards may feel like they are turning inside-out, but at least they are not actually being turned inside-out?" :-D
-
I'm in!
-
I'll play! This sounds like it will be really fun to RP.
-
Ok, we have our 10, but I'll leave it another day in case anyone else wants to sign up.

It's not so old that it's dead, just quietly retired. It'd be less of a necro, more of a...Will Smith getting Tommy Lee Jones back from the post office.
-
I'll last minute join! I might be sorta quiet for the first few days though, we're putting on legally blonde and its crazy time consuming...
-
Should we start placing bets on the first corpse?
-
I sure hope I am not the first one.
I mean, I am the newcomer. The newcomer isn't supposed to die that early in the movie. He is supposed to be used for character development, either for his own or that of somebody else.
May the almighty Tropes protect me.
-
Just... nobody have sex with anyone else... We will all increase our chances greatly if we follow that one rule.
-
If you really want to survive, than;
You can never be naked. Ever. Even showing a hint of an ankle will get you killed.
Never answer a call from a number you don't know.
No drugs, alcohol or medication should be taken. This also extends to food.
Never, ever, ever say "I'll be right back". Because you won't. Unless you count in a bodybag or several chunks.
But hey, where's the fun in that?
-
nobody have sex with anyone else...
No drugs
But it's okay if I listen to some Rock'n'Roll, right?..
No?
Thought so.
-
*nakedly stumble-rolls out of bed, leaving behind quietly snoring pile of groupies, rubs eyes, nudges bong away with foot* Eh...I think I hear the phone...be right back...
-
naked sexy bong rips for everyone? It's the only way we'll all be safe, y'all.
-
I am so down that I may be stripping already.
-
Guess I'm gonna be the token prude...
-
no worries Linds, we can toke together! I'll bring the good stuff.
-
*scribbles something on a cardboard presentation*
Guys, I think I have figured it out!
I modeled our group as a bi-directional node-weighted graph and optimized it for the nodes having the same weight, the weight being the number of neighbors of each node. The findings were astonishing. One of the easiest solutions for our problem is having all nodes connected to every other node.
If we want to even our chances of dying, everybody has to have lots of sex with each other. We just have to make sure everyone has the *same* amount of sex.
-
I'll maximize my odds by being a prude. Linds, TRVA123, we're the prude clique!
-
Loki, while your idea makes sense, it comes with the caveat that we'd have to match Gareth and his erection. And well... my pelvis hurts just thinking about that.
I'll be in Camp Prude (where your groin must be at least five feet from anyone else at all times) if you need me...
-
The game will start in a little while, after I contact the players about their roles.

so does mine.
only i'm not complaining.
-
Oh goodness.
-
Really? REALLY? I was gonna give you fucks some candles, but NO. NOOOOOO. You no get candle. I bet it's because I wanted to be a prude.
I hate college students anyways. :-P
-
Basically I am sad because I love horror movies and I was gonna have fun. :(
-
I'm sorry kobold friend. :(
-
I'm glad you got the reference!
Also Gareth, I'm going to haunt the shit out of you until you die a horrible death. Necrophilia isn't a tunny joke. Like seriously dude, new.
-
Apologising to the dead person looks mighty suspicious, know what I'm saying?
Also, Linds must have had her hands eaten. She seems to be unable to spell. :P
-
It was posted from my phone. I am blaming autocorrect.
-
Goddamit, I knew I'd be next. I should have just shouted my investigation findings and accepted my fate. At least I can go to the grave knowing I found... interesting things.
-
That's precisely why you were killed.
You knew things.
Damn scary things.
Things that can get people killed.
Just like you! :-D
-

Oh? PM?
-
Oooooh, can I?! Do the ghosts get to hang out and cackle about the mishaps of the living behind their backs? We promise not to tell the living! - bastards didn't save our asses, anyway.
-
Go ahead, just don't tell the living what happened, or you'll get a visit from 3 paranormal psychologists and the guy they hired to round out the team.
-
Actually, henri, I have a theory. My theory is that unless you're the bad guy, you never live long in these games. I was going to use it as a proof, but then you went and got me more data to prove me right!
-
I'll prove you wrong one of these days! :x
Ooooh, that could even be my defense in the future! If you kill me, Black Sword is right! And no one wants that! :lol:
-
Sure, because trying to prove me wrong is more important than surviving. :roll: Besides, exceptions to prove the rule are helpful. :wink:
Remember, kids, if it's near end-game and henri is still alive, he's a villain! :mrgreen:
-

Considering the bad guys have won every game so far, it seems like that applies to everyone. :roll:
-
It should go without saying that all and any mean accusations I throw around are in character.
-
I had a lot of fun with this game. :-D

It's easier to lie through text.
Also welcome to the land of the dead!

I'm actually a she - It's not a big deal, just inaccurate, and I know my name makes things confusing :-)
cesium133, welcome to ghost town :/
-
I really want to be a villain. Not just so that I can win but so that I can be on the other side for once.
-
I want to get some interesting fucking roles for once.
-
Make offerings to the random number god!
-
Hey, GWF!
Why so serious?
-
Boy, this isn't gonna make future Mafia games very fun if everyone ends up dead this game...
-
On the other hand, it'll be fun to have everyone dead by the end! :evil:
Plus its payback for the lynchings I suffered because of my name :-P
-
A mod could help you with that... :-P
Also it's pretty funny watching this game from the sidelines. (Especially so after what henri told me. But I'm not telling!)
-
There is nothing more evil than a GM who has a chip on their shoulder.
-
Nah, just someone having some fun. :-P
-
A GM of any sort "having some fun" is also something to fear. Hello fellow land of the dead inhabitants! :angel:

Hi! We've got cookies!
-
hey, henri bemis, can you pm me what you found?
or just tell us all in like a day or two, when the killers win.......
-
See, this is what happens when people don't listen to me... :roll:
edit - oh, and our fume hood has plenty of lovely noxious chemicals in it, although I do have one nitpick: in a power outage the fume hood wouldn't be running, which would mean TRVA123's killers would also be affected by the fumes.
-
There was a small battery that can be activated in case of an emergency. And murdering an innocent person counts as an emergency :-P
-

I wouldn't mind knowing as well if you're not opposed to sharing. :-)
I'd like to say the town still has a chance, but I have no idea at this point. :psyduck:
-
I'm not playing, but I enjoy trying to work things out from the sides...
Care to let me in on any information?
-
I'm already pushing the rules by talking to ghosts, so I probably shouldn't share things with non-players :/. ahem. I mean. [spooky voice] A mere mortal, calling me from my deathly slumber?! I shall smite thee! with ghostly stuff!
The sign-up thread said there'd be a trio of killers, so unless that was changed, it's 2-2, and it's night, so...
At least we can haunt these hallowed halls of learning for eternity. *weeps nostalgically, or something*
-

Hell no. I've got Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston on their way to bust your ectoplasmic asses out of the place as soon as the snow melts.
-
henri investigated me and found out i was the killer. i don't see a problem in admitting this now.
-
Damn those ghostbusters!
I had two nights to investigate, and I don't admit anything because no one living is supposed to have any definitive information about what I found. I haven't been following the game as closely as I did when I was alive, though.
-
Wait, is there a vigilante in this game? I'm kind of confused why Unicorn is dead. Unless the killer is Dexter, you know, because that'd make sense.
-
There is a vigilante. Or rather someone who snapped.
-
Unless the killer is Dexter, you know, because that'd make sense.
If Dexter is playing, he should have been on the player list :(
Unless.... Dexter is the snow!
