Welcome to the first ever Mafia All-Star game!
In the small, friendly music community of Bonnaroo, a crafty Mafia have infiltrated the population. Every night these Mafiosi decide amongst themselves who to ruthlessly assassinate. At the beginning of each morning, people learn that one of their own has been killed. Every day, the population gathers to discuss whom they think is a member of the Mafia. There is a vote, and the one with the majority is executed. The Townspeople must do this in order to clean Bonnaroo of the Mafia and restore its peaceful vibe. However, if the Mafia are able, through disrupting the votes and performing their assassinations, to eliminate Townspeople to the point that they are in the majority, they will rule Bonnaroo forever. Thus, the Townspeople's great hope is the Inspector. This is a secret figure, known only to him or herself, that has inside information on the identity of the Mafiosi. S/he can covertly use this information to influence the votes towards the Mafiosi. But s/he better watch his/her step, because if the Mafia gets wind it will be lights out. Good luck.
Signed,
Bonnaroo Goddess
----------------------
Clarification of rules:
1) Goddess(the referee) randomly chooses from the players of 11 three Mafiosi and one Inspector. All the rest are Townspeople. Each person is informed of their part via PM, and are not allowed to share that information with each other except in this thread, the official Mafia game thread. The Mafia are informed of one another's identity, and they are allowed to converse among themselves via PM.
2) The Inspector is informed of his/her part, and also of the identity of one randomly chosen Mafia player.
3) Each day a vote is held for the player to be eliminated. For online play, deliberation and voting is combined; thus, you can vote and explain yourself in the same post. Every player is free to change their vote at any point up until the last vote is in and Goddess declares that voting is closed. Goddess will then post the final tally, and announce which player is eliminated and how they died. Then will begin the following night.
4) During the night the Mafia decide on the player they want to eliminate (assassinate), and inform Goddess via PM. Once Goddess receives this info, it is posted here in the thread, the player is eliminated, and the following day begins.
5) Likewise during the night the Inspector will PM Goddess and guess one person who is the Mafia. Goddess will respond with a 'yes' or 'no'.
6) Play continues until all the Mafia have been killed (Townspeople win), or the Mafia outnumber the Townspeople (Mafia win).
7) It will not be revealed, until the end of the game, when a Mafia player or the Inspector have been eliminated.
8) Players who have been eliminated are still welcome to post in this thread, but are asked to not say anything leading to any knowledge, suspicions or opinions you might have.

I, SuperBek, hereby declare my innocence.
It seems as if the first round can be somewhat unfair so for the time being, I vote for myself. If anyone (mafia) starts stacking votes I promise to change my vote to help ensure a run off between two parties.
I solemnly swear to do my best to uphold the citizens of Bonnaroo and aide the townspeople to a most certain victory, so help me Bob.
p.s. I am really sad that someone has to die this round.

j/k
well I mean, we are better than all you other mafia players... isn't that what All Stars means?
In other news... Superbek, you stole my game plan of being the first to vote and voting for myself. So basically whoever I vote for will just retaliate and vote for me back since that's all they have to go on. My vote will go to whoever votes for me first, then

Talk to Bek... She was threatening to quit this game altogether a while ago. I talked her out of it with the lure of a vets-only, old-school setup game. Everyone in this game, with (I believe) only one exception, has at least five games under their belt. I expect it should be quite interesting.
I thought I was the one who rants & raves about Day One vote-stacking making people Mafia... I'm quite surprised to see Bek - who never agrees with me on anything - adopting this approach. Seems suspicious to me...
...but I won't vote on that yet, because that's not the only thing that aroused my suspicion.
Bama came and participated in a timely fashion... that, too, strikes me as unusual and possibly suspicious.
btw folks, I'm headed to Dewey Beach for the weekend for a buddys wedding, if I don't respond thats why. I'm assuming lots of folks will be busy this weekend though.
I'll get this random 1st vote out of the way, and vote for Sammy.
thanks hips! appreciate the vote.........of confidence!
great to be back and I will stick with my usual first vote of the person who votes for me....sorry hips!
Sammy O > handgunhips
edit: maybe all-stars isn't the greatest title, i've only won once or maybe twice of the three or four times i've played. maybe we should be "Mafia Vets" or 'Old-School Mafioso'? just a thought in case anybodys vag gets sand in it because we called ourselves all-stars. we must be snobs.
Oh shoot. I obvi had a bad first pick. I'm dumb. Haha Strum, I'm willing to change my vote.
haha ok, in that case I retract my vote as well... I vote Bek, only because she's the only person who knows for a fact the identity of the person she's voted for... so she MUST be on to something!
This will very likely be changed yet again tho, just cause it's the 1st round

^^I had changed my vote to Bek, but I'm changing my vote again to Fishingmaniac, for no reason other than it would result in less fishing lures filling up the mafia thread
