Breaking the Ice [N0]
07-10-2011, 10:55 PM
And yes, today is a grand day in the history of science. At the docks of Antwerp, the submarine on which thousand of scientists collaborated to build, shall for the first time take off from the harbour. For the first time, man shall set foot on the icy reaches of the south, and survive there for one week. Of course, the ship is packed with enough food to sustain the crew for a week, as long as several machines to perform experiments on the artic region. At the final day, a drill will penetrate down to the ocean bed, and give us exact detail on the icy chamsm of Antarctica. That final day will be incredibly important for the result of their travels, and we at home can only cross our fingers that everything goes according to plan. More at 7.

This is a game of mafia!
Mafia?
Yes, mafia! The classic psychological game where Paranoia meets Cops and Robbers!
There's two sides, townies and mafiosi. Each want to kill each other the fastest. The townies vote someone to be lynched each day, and the mafia kills someone each night. And only through logical thinking will the town find out who the mafia are. If you need a more detailed explanation, or if you have any questions during the game, you can always check on the official mafia wiki, or contact me personally!
Okay, so why the flavor?
I'm glad you asked! This game of mafia is situated on Antarctica! During summer! If you're acquainted with geology, you have probably heard of the midnight sun. It's the rare phenomenon where the sun won't set at night. As such, you are free to discuss the game overnight. This is a little experimental, and I don't know how much of an impact this is going to have on the game itself.
Of course, I won't let you go cop someone and blab it all out the moment you get a result (partially because that would be a dumb move that will only get you killed) so I will be handling night actions collectively at the end of the night.
This game is a closed setup, so I won't tell you anything. Lynches happen once a majority is reached on the lynchee (which is n/2+1 if n is the player count) or at the end of the day, if half of a majority is reached on a player (which is n/4+1, for those of you keeping track (you poor souls)) If not enough votes are cast at the end of the day, I default that day to a no lynch.
The flavor mentions food for a week, and this is no lie. To prevent unending stalemates (which I did manage to find in the setup) the game shall last no more than 7 in-game days. After that, the game shall end uncontested, with neither side being on the winning end. I'm sure that a 13-man setup will never come to that, but still, for good measure, you have a maximum time limit.
Since this is kind of a small forum still, and I'm still considering a lot of setups, I'm not going to cap the player count. I would however like a minimum of at least 7 players.
