Welcome to The Legend of Zelda: The Mafia Game. The LOZ franchise has always been one of my favorite series and so I decided to make a game based on the LOZ. There are many major changes from my last game so please read through carefully.


Game Information

  1. The day phase will last for 72 hours and the night phase will last for 24 hours or until all night actions are in.
  2. Bastard elements including mid game alignment changing mechanisms may or may not exist.
  3. There are no anti-claim mechanics.
  4. There are no 3rd parties, godfathers, millers, or gravediggers. There are also no hidden modifiers or roles.

Game Mechanics

  1. Use VTL (Playername) or Vote: (Playername) to eliminate a player.
  2. Unovting is appreciated but is not required.
  3. Lynching is not required; however, plurality lynch is enabled day 2+. If there is no majority at the end of the day phase then the player with the most votes is eliminated. If there is a tie then it will be randomized. If town wishes to no lynch then they must vote no lynch.
  4. Factional kills are mandatory and assigned. Factional kills can be blocked, watched, tracked, or effected by other mechanics.
  5. All factions have day chat. There are no mechanisms that will disable it
  6. Twilight begins when a majority is reached. It lasts until the thread is locked. Until this point, players may freely post in this game thread until I arrive to flip them. Votes and unvotes in this phase do not count.
  7. Votes are locked in LyLo. LyLo will be announced.

Rules:

  1. Follow all site-rules and use common sense.
  2. Don't be a d*ck
  3. I will expect a minimum of 5 game-advancing posts per day.
  4. Do not quote your PM verbatim in part or in full and do not use AI to paraphrase your PM.
  5. Do not edit or delete your posts. This is an instant modkill. Consider this your first and final warning.
  6. Do not like posts after you have died.
  7. Crypography is banned but breadcrumbing is permitted.
  8. Because the theme split is pretty goddamn obvious to anyone who has played the LOZ it is obvious that flavor is AI. In order to prevent the game from being solved based on flavor claims I am instituting a rule that there is to be no flavor claiming. Do not hint to or claim your flavor or any justification for your roles. This is an immediate modkill. This is to protect the integrity of the game.
  9. OGI is also extremely banned. If you gain a read because of something that happens outside the game then do not mention that in the thread.


Win Conditions:

Town: Town wins when all threats to town have been eliminated

Mafia: Mafia wins when they overpower town or nothing can prevent this from happening.


I am aiming for 13 players due to the complexity of the setup.

This is kind of bothering me because the list of Mafia games I want to run on here includes a specific Zelda game and a game mechanic based on it. Free cookie for anyone who guesses the game and mechanic.

Forum signatures are bullshit. Nobody wants to waste their time and bandwidth reading something they have read 29,998,559,671,349 times before.

It ain't my game, but I don't see the validity of the chain of reasoning from "flavor is affiliation-indicative" to "no flavor claiming". Can't you give scum fake-claims?

The problem is once obvious characters like link, Zelda, and impa start claiming you can get a solid town core just from claims.

Do you not believe in leaving out important characters as mod-provided fake-claims, or at least as possible fake-claims?

Again, this is not my game, and I am bound to follow your rules whether I agree with them or not. I'm just curious about your approach to Mafia setup design.

The big issue I have is when a game can be solved by mass claiming. If a game is able to be solved through claiming characters alone then the game is fundamentally broken.


Where I come from flavor claiming is usually extremely banned and is only permitted when flavor is NAI.


The point of the rule is to preserve the integrity of the game.

Utter bullshit. If you can't claim flavor, then why have it?

I don’t care for it, but I can understand the rule against character claiming.


I won’t play. Unfortunately, my new job makes mafia impossible. 4 10-hour shifts per week, with and one hour there and another one back. So I’m gone 12 hours on workdays.

I still don’t know what to type!

No point to having a theme if you ban talking about character. Like what’s the point lol

Then give fake claims or make the theme split complex. Not that hard lol

I decided to redesign the setup where character claiming can be permitted. I will retract that rule

Good decision. Anyways, I am burnt on mafia still, but I owe you one for signing up for Ted Lasso, so if you want I'll sign up for this one, or the MU you mentioned, let me know which you would prefer.
