The Mafia Recruitment
_{The prequel to Family Business}


Human Roles:
There are seven innocent humans. Humans are worth 1 point apiece unless otherwise stated.

_{Grocer- Feeds his team well. Is worth 2 points.
Painter- Can disguise one player as the role and team of his choice once per game. This disguise lasts until the player's death.
Ditch-digger- Can dig a trap. Gets one night-kill.
Farmer- Always knows what team the Grocer is on.
Sailor- Gets one night-kill shield after being turned.
Philanthropist- Cannot be turned until the majority of the other humans are turned.
Hobo- Worth -1 point}

Humans cannot win the game. Humans are immune to night kills.
All non-Mafia players may scry once per game at night. The scry reveals team name and whether or not the player is a Mafia.

Mafia Roles:
There are two competing Mafia, the BLUE Mafia and the RED Mafia. Mafia are worth 2 points apiece.
Mafia are immune to night kills.
A Mafia can kill a scummy human or turn one person scummy once per night. If both mafia try to turn the same player scummy on the same night phase they both recieve instead a full scry of the player and cannot take any more night actions that night.


Scum:
A human who is turned becomes a scummy human with no powers. A scummy human cannot kill or turn (except the ditch-digger) and is able to be night-killed. The scummy humans retain their human role powers, including their once-per-game scry.

Lynching:
Each player's initial post for the day MUST include a VOTE or an ABSTAIN, though votechanging is allowed. The lynched person's role, team, and scry results (if any) are revealed upon their death. No lynch is necessary. Any (and even all) player(s) can ABSTAIN from the vote, however the player with the most votes once everyone has either abstained or voted is lynched. If all players abstain there is no lynch and night begins.

The game ends when there are no longer any innocents. The team with the higher overall living team value wins.

This game is challenging

I am not going to claim it is fun, because who wants to have fun in a mafia game?

Instead there will be blood, sweat and tears.

Mafia Recruitment is a battle between mafia members. The outcome will determine the special roles in Family Business, another 9 person game.

In the last game of Werewolf I was in the last remaining wolf sent the following private message to all the other players on the last day phase:

I am the Werewolf. I am going to turn you tonight. Vote for (innocent person) so we will win.

It worked.

You arent a regular player here, so you wont probably get any signups. I suggest you play a few games here first so people get to know you.

In Mafia Recruitment every player is a one-time seer!

Some of the people I played Werewolf with in the 90s had invented a tactic they called "If I'm the seer" wherein each villager says "If I'm the seer, Player X is a wolf." so that once the real seer is killed their seering record is made public.

One game I was a wolf. I invented a game that I called "If I'm the werewolf," wherein villagers say what they would be doing if they were wolves. I used the arguement that the best way to catch a killer is to get inside their heads.

After that all I had to do was read everyone's suggestions and follow the best player's advice. They got so confused and paranoid it was a simple matter to pick them off, one by one.

To this day nobody plays "If I'm the werewolf."

What happens if all scum are wiped out?

For example, night 1 both mafia try to turn the philanthropist and fail.
Day 1 the town lynches a mafia.
Night 2 the surviving mafia tries to recruit the philanthropist again and fails again. (Or he/she recruits a person who killed by the gravedigger the same night.)
Day 2 the town lynches the other mafia.

Dude, if you don't stop posting inane stuff in this thread, I'm just going to lock it.

Answering questions is fine. Random stories about a time you played are best for other threads designed for that purpose.

Rules errata: If both mafia try to turn the same player scummy on the same night phase they both recieve instead a full scry of the player and day begins.

This game will be verrry short. Calculations lead me to believe no longer than four day phases. Think of it as more of an on-the-side distraction thing than a full blown werewolf game.
