IRC Mafia

So I've been playing a ton of Mafia style games lately, and the topic of playing games with forumers came up in #eeforums. We played a game, and everyone enjoyed it and asked to play another, so I made a channel to play Mafia in. Find me in #eeforums if you want to play a game, I need at least 7 players to start a game. For those of you who don't know how to play Mafia or what it is, here's how it works.

At the start of the game a small fraction of the players are told they're Mafia, and who the rest of the Mafia are. The rest of the players are told they're Town, and they aren't told what anyone else is. The game starts during the day, and I may or may not allow a lynch the first day depending on the setup. During any day with a lynch, all players vote on who they think is most likely to be Mafia, and that person is killed. At night the Mafia all have a secret chat where they can decide on a Town member to kill. The game goes on until either the Town lynch all Mafia or the Mafia gain 50% of the votes.

Everyone is told at the start of the game what alignment they are, and there are also power roles, which are roles that have a special ability. Here are the Power Roles that may be in the game depending on the setup:

Town

▼Hidden text

Sheriff:They can choose someone at night to inspect, and will be told whether that person is Town or Mafia.

Doctor:They can choose someone at night to protect, and if attacked by Mafia, that person will survive the attack.

Jailkeeper:They choose someone during the day to bring to jail for the night. In jail the prisoner is safe from Mafia attacks and cannot use their night ability if they have one. Jailed Mafia may not talk in Mafia night chat.

Lookout:They can choose someone at night to watch, and will be told the names of anyone who performed a night action on that player.

Bus Driver:They can choose 2 people at night and swap the positions of those players. Any action performed on one will instead be performed on the other. People won't know if they are targeted by this ability, or if they targeted someone who was swapped.

Vigilante:They will be given a limited number of bullets to use at night. They may kill a player at night starting the second night. If they kill a Town member they will become a Citizen.

Mafia

▼Hidden text

Prostitute:They can choose someone at night to roleblock, preventing them from using their night ability if they have one.

Consigliere:They can choose someone at night to inspect, and will be told the role of that player.

Framer:They can choose someone at night to frame, and that player will appear to be Mafia to the Sheriff (This role will not be in a game with no Sheriff).

Janitor:They can choose someone at night to clean. If they clean someone the night they die, their role will not be revealed on death, however the Janitor will know what role they were. They only have a limited number of cleans.

Godfather:He shows up as Town to the Sheriff.

There are three main rules I need to address for people wanting to join the games.

1. Don't actively work against your win condition. This is known as gamethrowing, and can include multiple things such as revealing your Mafia buddies at the start of the game.

2. Don't talk to living players through any means other than #eemafia and Mafia night chat. Report it to me if it happens.

3. Don't quote or screenshot any message sent from the game moderator.

Breaking these rules may result in a ban from the channel.

If you want to play, you need to talk to me to start a game. At this moment I'm the only channel op that can moderate a game, but if this gets popular enough I might promote more. You can sometimes find me in #eeforums on rizon, or you can add Brawler700 on Skype if you're interested in playing.

UPDATE:Thanks to Processor for making a Mafia bot to run the game easier.

This sounds a whole lot like Town of Salem.

That's because Town of Salem is based off of the popular party game "Mafia"

Re: IRC Mafia

Updated the OP with some more power roles I could potentially use in games. Also big thanks to Processor for making a bot to run the game easier.
