Cricket Mafia - MaD & Abhas win!

[Abhas]

Really looking forward to this one. Start it soon guys I'm dying to play

 

[LongLegs?]

Well today or tomorrow seems likely as a start date for the game.

Point to be noted before the game beings - activity needs to be good. Else you will be replaced immediately.

 

[BKB1991]

Recieved my role!
Can you list down ALL the roles and update the first post? (Eg, like in the last game, Townies, Cop etc.)

 

[LongLegs?]

Nah that I can't do. That would be like revealing what roles are in the game beforehand. You'll learn how to grasp it slowly. That link on the last page has the roles pretty much.

Few more roles to send - then, rules and Night 0 will be up.

Roles - The Mafia Game WikiGuide - Wiki on Neoseeker

Right. That is a very good guide of the most commonly used Mafia roles. Only some of them will be included, all won't or maybe they will - who knows =O you'll have to deduce that.

Note: The miller role is a good roleclaim when you're mafia-aligned if you come up as mafia after being investigated. If you're convincing enough, people will believe you. However, it's unlikely that there'll be two millers in a game (it's quite possible though, but more than 2 is a no-no), so if there's a miller in the game already, and you claim miller, the real miller can easily prove that he's the miller and you're not, even without role-claiming.

Another good claim if you're Mafia aligned is the Bomb role. However if there's an actual bomb, you'll be found out.

Do try and match your roleclaims with your character claims.

The way to win Mafia is easy - be convincing, look like you're always on top of things and use your role, if you have one, wisely.

Another thing that must be thought about is the first day lynch. So you don't have any leads/clues to who is Mafia right? So why lynch? You can have a no lynch and therefore eliminate the chance of losing a townie, or you could take the risk and vote out someone, hoping they'd be Mafia, but that would only have a 25-35% success rate. Again, it's up to you to make a decision.

Also, when you're the cop or the doc, try not to role reveal so easily. hMarka and MaD revealed too early in the last game. This game will have a rule that you need a limited amount of votes on you before you can role reveal. If you've investigated that someone is Mafia as a cop, don't just role reveal it, announce it in the thread and try and gain everyone's trust - a good player will know how to do that. If your lynch goes right...people will realise you're probably the cop. A good doc will notice that too and protect you that night, and good townie players won't announce that they suspect you're the cop, because that would only help the Mafia.

Hope you guys get the grasp of it through this game. I'm working on the roles at the moment, trying to balance it well. Still accepting sign-ups. Until I finish writing the roles, sign-ups will be accepted. After that, you may join if you wish, and be added to a replacement list to replace inactive players.

Just to remind you to read this, again if you already have, or even for the first time.

RULES (READ THEM)​

1) Don't quote any communcation you recieve from me or Ollie. Paraphrase it.
2) This game will have your role and alignment revealed on death.
3) If anything in your pm overrides these rules then your pm is to be followed.
4) No communication about the game outside of this thread unless your PM says so. if someone contacts you, tell me. I'll 1) Modkill them and 2) try to get them banned from the next game at the very least. As well as that they'll be banned from all my games in the future.
5) Don't piss me or Ollie off.
6) This game is complicated. But not as complicated as you think. Learn to think outside the box and play outside the norm. Be different.
7) To show you've read the rules post your favourite fruit in your first post. Also confirm that you've recieved your role.
8) NO GHOSTS. You will not post once you're dead. If you do, it's meant to have nothing about the game proceedings at that point. No communicating and advising outside the thread once your dead is preferred too.
9) Don't post in white text. Also, be a sportsman. Not like WC in the last game totally outing mattfb using white text - that is a ridiculously cheap Mafia tactic and rarely used on forum-based Mafia games. Remember, logic/brains/wit > white text/cheap stuff.
10) Once you're dead, you can't win. Period. Even if your alignment wins the games, only the surviving players actually win. The aim of Mafia is survival. There will be luck involved too, but good players usually make their own fate in this game.
11) Night posts may contain clues to how many factions are there and if you're a variant of a role/have a hidden factor to your role. Those with roles should keep this in mind.
12) Important one. Before anyone roleclaims, you need to have at least 50% of the votes on you. Say Ollie_H was playing and he roleclaimed before that, he'd be modkilled. At this point, you need 6 votes on you before you claim.
13) Have fun and play to win.

Night 0 up soon. That will mark the start of the game.

Night 0​

Place: Lord?s Cricket Ground
Time: 12:25 AM​

Wisden?s ceremony had come to an end three and a half hour ago. Some of the best cricketers in the world were honoured as usual. And, now three and a half hours later, very few people remained at the ground. Everyone was indoors, some enjoying their awards intake that night, some enjoying the food and drinks, and some just not wanting to return to the boredom of their disciplined homes. BKB1991 began to yawn and looked at his watch. He loved his drinks, but it was time to go home and get ready for his flight back to his home country. He got up and started to leave the place. He waved at The Spin, gilly and Maney2k9 who were having a hearty chat. He glanced over at Highlander999 who was clearly drunk and muttering some nonsense about wanting to be a prostitute. Aditya, gudduthemaster and gilly were hogging food down on another table. BKB1991 went through the hallways and finally reached the exit. The area was eerily quiet. He began to wrench open the door.

First try. It wouldn?t open.

Second try. It just wouldn?t budge.

Third try. He was now shoving the door in anger.

And then, it hit him. They were locked in. But, how? And, why? He turned around and began to run back to the main dining room. And, it was then he noticed it. Lying in a pool of blood in the corner ? a body.

__________

Back in the dining hall, mattfb sat down looking pretty sullen. He was quite distressed over the happenings of the last few weeks. hMarka walked towards him, and tapped him on the shoulder and remarked ?It?s alright mate. Don?t look so sad. It?ll be alright.? hMarka was quite a talented cricketer himself, an emotional one at that, so he understood how mattfb was feeling, and decided to give him company.

On, another side of the room, MaD, Abhas, AucklandAce, harrisb, Funknath and WC were sharing some drinks. It was then, that BKB came running through the hallways looking for everyone. MaD remarked,?I thought you were leaving?? In reply, BKB stammered ?T-t-t-there?s a body near the exit. A-a-a-and it?s locked. We?re locked in!? The cricketing personalities all stood up in shock at the comment. Harishan, CG123 and Amiya were quick to march forward and lead the party as they went to look at the body.
__________

Finally, they approached the body, and User2010 stated,?Who could?ve done this?? And they all silently knew it was one of them here who had carried out the murder. Who else could it have been? treva and skillrex_x were the only ones courageous enough to move towards the body. They looked through the body and found an ID, that stated that the dead man was Ollie_H.

Ollie_H was Kevin Pietersen, Actually South African, Team Cricket-aligned.​

Everyone was left in shock at the discovery. What was happening?

__________​

Place: Lord?s Cricket Ground Secret Chambers
Time: 8:45 PM​

Earlier...​

A man was dressed up in a fancy suit. No one knew about these secret chambers except him. He smoothed out his suit, and opened his suitcase. It was black and had a lot of money in it. He verified the amount, and closed the suitcase. He was a man of money, not blood. He was going to start a new revolution in the world of cricket, and the way he would do it was through money. Because, money is everything, right?

IT IS NOW DAY 1. CRICKET MAFIA BEGINS!​

 

[Gaurav_7]

Was that man Lalit Modi?
RIP Ollie.

He glanced over at Highlander999 who was clearly drunk

Tom just cannot behave himself anywhere.

 

[Highlander999]

Why does everyone portray me as a raging alcoholic

 

[treva]

Because it's the truth
