Mafia American Politics Mafia - Game Over - Town Wins!

[EpicGamer12]

American Politics Mafia
Hosted by Trundler
Inspired by strife and chaos


​

Tensions are brewing in the United States of America. Political affairs don't play out as they used to due to the progression of technology in North America. Social media, government surveillance, and black hat hackers all play a role in the already fragile ecosystem that is American conflict.

Two parties are set out to push their own agendas, while citizens blindly support whichever rhymes best with their intrinsic values. In this game, everyone plays dirty. You are part of this set of people, and you need to do your best to save America.

Attn:
Mafia is a game of the uninformed majority versus the informed minority. To elaborate, the game is divided into two teams: the Town and the Mafia. Mafia know who each other are, and can coordinate their actions privately. Town players on the other hand don't know anything other than their own role. To compensate, there are many more Town than Mafia. The objective of the game is for Town to eliminate by killing or lynching all the Mafia before it is too late. The game is divided into repeating phases of Day and Night. Day revolves around voting for a player to be lynched. Night is reserved for the Mafia to make their kills and certain players to use their special abilities.

Rules:

• Play to win. Playing against your win condition will result in an instant modkill.
• Remain civil and follow all TBT Rules and Guidelines.
• Editing your posts is not allowed.
• Please follow all typical TBT Mafia rules (no cheating by sharing your role via PM, et cetera).

Day 0
Election Day

The year was 1945. Germany's military was on the verge of a total collapse due to pressure from many sides. Hitler was in his F?hrerbunker when he committed suicide by gunshot.

---

November 9, 2016 in the early morning, Donald was set to win presidency. Hillary, Democrats, and even Republicans across the United States were in fear of what the next four years would bring.

"Bing bing", Donald thought to himself, with a slight chuckle. Him and his family were in a fancy room with a TV, watching the election results on Fox News. He was incredibly happy with how easy he was able to take the election.
"I'm the best, really. Nobody can make America great again like I can."

Unexpectedly, a man in a black suit burst in the room and whispered a tidbit of information to Trump.

"Whaddaya mean? Someone deport this man out of our room." But it was too late. Before he could react, a unique cast of characters entered the room from the same place the man in black came from. Donald's family was escorted out and the door was locked behind him, no way out.

On the screen were instructions.

"The true president of the United States will be decided between the 17 people in this room. We are promoting selflessness in this campaign.

1) All votes for the president will be uploaded privately through the terminal in the corner. (Please PM the host to vote during Day 0.)
2) You may not vote for yourself.
3) The winner receives the unique ability to cast two votes each day. Furthermore, they will receive bodyguard(s) to protect them from assassination attempts.

You will forget who each other are shortly."

After a short amount of time had passed a bright light flashed on the screen. When the party opened their eyes, nobody recognized each other.

"Well," said Donny Trump, "How about we make America great again?"

Due to the current nature of the forums, this day will last 72 hours. Day will end 7PM EST on February 14, 2018.

 

[Dolby]

I formally announce my candidacy for President

We should publicly say who we all voted for btw after we do it, to see if maf attempted to influence the election (assuming that we only know who won)

*Day 0

 

[Dolby]

As a master statesman, I have decades of experience in political office.

My resume is as follows

Premier: 1948-1972
President 1973-1994
Eternal President of the Republic 1997 to present

As you can see, I have extensive leadership experience, and I have won every election in which I have participated unanimously. These elections were Free and Fair, contrary to Imperialist Propaganda

Dobby make the RQ's please.

Righto, sure

What is your general experience with mafia, including in games with elected roles? Extensive in both counts
As mayor, how do you intend to use your role? Tbh, I'd really appriciate being elected for the bullet-proofness. The two votes don't really matter except at LYLO (at which point, I'd expect any town elected official to likely be dead).
Who do you want to be President?Myself or somebody generally experienced who is likely to be nightkilled early. The most useful aspect of the President is being bullet-proof through their bodyguards.
In an anomymous election, is there ANY situation (as town) in which you would lie about who you voted for?The only time that this would work, I feel, would be with a semi-anonymous double-vote at LYLO to confirm the scum team (ie, you have a public vote, and an ANON private vote), so no to this

No.

 

[glow]

reasons to elect me

if ur town:

*you will see my alignment n1

if ur maf:

*it is very easy to buddy me by just feeding my ego

Do you mean that literally, as in you're an innocent child?

Glow, you are a very skilled player. Clearly the better than me and the best on the forums

 

[Jacob]

What is your general experience with mafia, including in games with elected roles? Approaching 2.5 years of mafia experience, I've played a number of games with elected roles

As mayor, how do you intend to use your role? There's no real strategy in it besides using the double vote to lynch scummy people

Who do you want to be President? I want someone in Mid-tier to be elected, considering D0 we have no real role confirmation or leads. If we elect an overly experienced player and they end up being mafia, it would be extremely difficult to get a lynch rolling for them. If lynching is the only way to get rid of a scummy president, I want it to be someone who can be easily read.

In an anomymous election, is there ANY situation (as town) in which you would lie about who you voted for? I really don't think so

 

[unravel]

Im still voting Ness as president after all I'm his campaign manager

 

[N e s s]

Anywho time to get into some specifics. Hey hello, I'm Ness and most of you know me already and what not. I'm straight up going to say that I'm obviously campaigning for the presidency. Now, I will also state that I am perfectly fine with it not being me as well. I do not intend on begging for votes, but I simply ask that you consider me. I'm going to be trying to play a bit differently this game, as the last few games I've had people have pointed out that I act far too overly aggressive with most of my posts.

I would like to ask you this: Do not vote someone as president without a clear purpose in mind. When I say this, do not simply just vote someone like Dolby, glow or dad simply because they're an experienced player. I suggest waiting before you decide on who you wish to vote for, as I would rather not see someone rushed as president.

As for my RQ answers, here they are.

What is your general experience with mafia, including in games with elected roles? I am experienced in both aspects, I do well as mafia and third party, but my town skills are a little lacking in my own opinion. I don't consider myself a "godfather", but I do know how the game works.

As mayor, how do you intend to use your role? I would mostly use it for the extra vote, It would be quite handy to have it under my belt to use in an emergency situation. I've had several games where I REALLY wanted someone lynched (E.x Breath of the Wild Mafia) and was powerless due to someone not agreeing with who I thought was mafia.

Who do you want to be President? Preferably myself, but other than that I do not have a clear choice in mind. I would like to take this opportunity to say that I think it is a horrible idea to elect someone purely due to them being an experienced player. as Dolby has chosen to point out. I would much prefer someone who is a bit lesser of whats considered a godfather to get a clearer understanding of what their alignment may be. Sure, the bodyguards are surely useful but if we elect someone without much thought then we can likely elect a scum player, who can capitalize off the bodyguards and extra vote.

In an anomymous election, is there ANY situation (as town) in which you would lie about who you voted for? No, there isn't. I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Also, this is just a small thought I had but I'm pinging Dolby/PunchyDaHufflepuff as a somewhat uncompatible scum team. This is mostly due to Punchy asking Dolby to make the RQS, as I see in my head that if both were scum Punchy would likely just tell Dolby to make the RQS in scum chat. Low hanging fruit, just a small little thought I had.

bb you know i love you, but please wait before voting. It makes me uncomfortable to have someone vote right off the bat (although i appreciate the gesture <3)

 

[Jacob]

@Ness If you're going to be playing with a new style, I think it's best you don't get elected

 

[N e s s]

@Ness If you're going to be playing with a new style, I think it's best you don't get elected

I'll still be playing like i usually do, I just plan on being a bit less spastic with my posts this time. Being a bit less juvenile, if you understand what I mean.

 

[Byngo]

What is your general experience with mafia, including in games with elected roles? fairly experienced but not with elected roles tbh
As mayor, how do you intend to use your role? idk
Who do you want to be President? i say no to a top tier president (especially dolby and dad) cuz it?ll only feed their egos : ) jk but basically have the same reasoning as ness and Jacob
In an anomymous election, is there ANY situation (as town) in which you would lie about who you voted for? idk

 

[cornimer]

What is your general experience with mafia, including in games with elected roles? This is my fifth main game, but I've also played a whole bunch of mini games. None with elected roles however.
As mayor, how do you intend to use your role? Don't really want to be mayor/president but if I was elected for some reason I would just appreciate the bulletproof-ness and use the double vote on whoever is most likely mafia. I would listen to other people if it were a LYLO situation because my judgement is not always right
Who do you want to be President? Someone who is not scum and who is good at reads
In an anomymous election, is there ANY situation (as town) in which you would lie about who you voted for? No I can't think of a good reason to

 

[unravel]

Im kinda fearing Dolby tbh like what if this time hes a scum I usually see him as town yanno and it would be really a risk if we rush off voting him just saying

Who do you think is the right candidate and why?
What do you think the setup how many scum/tp in this game?
Who do you think is scum?
