Bad Idea Mafia 2018: Hot, Hot Summer Shootout!

hello, world
Here's a fun classic. This has the potential to be a casual game, although it doesn't have to be. It is what you make it: a cool oasis in the scorching heat, or scorched earth in the cold post-apocalyptic fallout. Just post every 48 hours so that no one is wondering where you are. The game should be easy and quick, and as such I don't expect it to get in anyone's way.

This is a completely open setup, for 13 players. Read the rules and the roles carefully for the details! Tag me if you have any questions.



The Rules
  • There are no votes and no lynches - Days only end with a Bang!
  • After a Day ends there will be a Night phase of 48 hours, OR as long as it takes for Night actions to come in.
  • You may only communicate outside of the game if your role PM specifies so. Very important rule!
  • Watch the thread title to see exactly what Day it is.
  • Days have no deadlines unless inactivity becomes a problem.
  • Don't talk about the game outside of the thread or you will be Modkilled.
  • Editing your posts is not allowed - you will receive a warning if you do.
  • Failing to post at least once within 48 hours will get you a warning.
  • Three warnings will result in a Modkill unless there's an eager replacement.
  • Be nice to other players and don't insult them!
  • You should only post in English, and only use visible text.
  • No more posting once you are dead except one "Go town/scum" post.
  • You may not post any metadata in an attempt to break the game, no screenshots, no nothing.
  • Failure to send in your Night action will result in no action being taken.
  • Modkills end the Day only if the killed player is town-aligned.
  • You're not allowed to fake a Daykill or post the "Bang!" command if you don't have that ability -- immediate Modkill is the consequence!
  • I will accept a "Daykill!" command in place of a "Bang!", so the above rule applies to that, too. Don't be a dumb.
  • Don't shoot yourself! Shoot your friends!



The Roles

You're just some townie.

You possess the ability to Daykill any player except yourself at any time during the Day, by simply posting Bang! <player> in any of your posts. That person will be removed from the game, and the game will proceed to Night phase. You may use this ability as many times as you'd like throughout the game. However, for every person you have Daykilled in the game, you will be subject to a 24-hour "cooldown" period at the start of each in-game Day, during which you will be unable to Daykill anyone. This effect DOES STACK, and will NEVER go away.

You win when the Mafia has been completely eliminated.
You are a cool cop, in the Town.

You possess the ability to Investigate one player per Night and learn their alignment. This ability will never fail (unless you die that Night) and is guaranteed to give accurate results, with the exception of the result you will receive if you investigate the Hotfather. The Hotfather will appear to be Town-aligned.

You win when the Mafia has been completely eliminated.
You are a bombshell, in the Town.

You're a regular knockout. In all the hubbub, you had the Good Idea of strapping some explosive devices to your body. These devices are well-hidden under your clothes and are very sensitive. If you are Daykilled, you will cause an explosion that will randomly kill one other Town-aligned player who is not also a bombshell. This will not happen if you die at Night.

You win when the Mafia has been completely eliminated.
You are the hot box, in the Mafia.

You're flesh, you're muscle, you're a body, you're a goon, you're a hired thug, you're a number advantage, you're a statistic. You had a rough childhood, but they don't pay you to talk about it. They don't pay you to think, either. Sit tight and look beefy until you win.

You win when the Mafia achieves a mathematical parity with the Town, such that the logical result of the game's progression would be an elimination of the Town. The Mafia Hotfather is Y. The Mafia Hot Piece'a'Sass is Z. You may communicate with each other at any time during the game using the joint PM that I will put you in. Talk amongst yourselves about, amongst other things, who to Murder from amongst the cast.
You are the hotfather, in the Mafia.

You're the leader of the mafia that is trying to subvert this town of armed maniacs and rise to power. You will appear to be Town if ever investigated by a cop.

You win when the Mafia achieves a mathematical parity with the Town, such that the logical result of the game's progression would be an elimination of the Town. The Mafia Hot Box is X. The Mafia Hot Piece'a'Sass is Z. You may communicate with each other at any time during the game using the joint PM that I will put you in.

I’d say I’m busy as heck because my work shifts will be even longer... but it’s 48 hours per phase. Gives me a lot of time.
To clarify:
- Day phases are indefinite OR until someone is shot, in which case they end immediately.
- Night phases are 48 hours at most, OR they end immediately after I get all of the Night actions (two cops, one mafia shot).

Oh.

Still think it gives me a good amount of time to have decent involvement

so, what's the difference between the "24 hour cool-down period" for Bang!ing someone, and just saying "you can't kill the next day"?

Is there a difference, or nah? Just making sure :laugh:

If you've Daykilled one person over the course of the game, you start every Day phase not being able to Bang! for the first 24 hours of the Day. If you've Daykilled two people, that number jumps to 48 hours, and so on.

Days do not end until a player is Daykilled (or a Town player is Modkilled).

If you Bang! someone Day 1
you can't Bang! on Day 2 for the first 24 hours of Day 2
you can't Bang! on Day 3 for the first 24 hours of Day 3
etc.

If Day 2 has lasted for 24 hours and one second, and no one has ended the Day yet, you can Bang! someone at that time. Then, you can't Bang! on Day 4 for the first 48 hours of Day 4, and so on.

dude i made a post about it after mario mafia

katts taking a break from being a player, shes still burned out from it and not interested in taking anything for some more time longer
only reason i'm still in whites mafia was cause i was pumped and put my word in it earlier, and that it still won't start till much later so katt can afford

please understand katt will play when shes better off

when this does start though i'll like to watch and speculate

Fun, happy times!

I specifically tagged the downtrodden souls who need an excuse to just shoot somebody without obligations or accountability.
