Here is discussion, use this for chatting about goings on. Please do not use this thread for strategizing.
The town hall is in session, and the doors are locked. Nobody leaves until the mafia is gone for good... Sheriff Rastley is dead, and nobody knows who knows what, suspicion is thick in the air. Your best friend may want to stab you in the back, and the man you hate may be your greatest ally. This is what the mafia want, for you to be suspicious. But what choices do you have? You must be suspicious... or dead.
Your town is under attack. What's worse, it's an attack from within. Some of your friends from the same tiny town might just be mafia. Mafia with a grudge against the town of Scrafton. You see, a generation back, one of the most highly skilled detectives lived in this town, and he had managed to get all of these criminals up in a noose. Now, you have to find a way to purge these criminals from the town as they seek revenge. There are rumours that before his death, Detective Rastley managed to pass all of his learnings down to a new generation of crime fighters. Hopefully they will be able to nip this problem in the bud... If not, it's rumoured that the town will be wiped out in this mafia rampage. Every day, the members of the town assemble in the town square to convict one of its members of membership in the mafia... a crime punishable by death.
The Detective: Every night, the Detective can investigate one person from the town. They have a 75% chance of finding out that person's identity correctly. 25% of the time, they find misleading planted evidence, and an innocent will investigate as a mafia member, or a mafia member will investigate as a member of the town. (There is one Detective plus one for every 11 players in the game.) The Blood Brothers: These members of the town know each other immediately upon sight. They know that they can trust their blood brothers (or sisters) not to be mafia. They have sworn an oath of loyalty to each other, but in public, may pretend not to know each other at all. (If there are less than or equal to 10 players, there are no Blood Brothers. At 11 players, there are 2. 21 players, there are 3.) The Vigilante: This masked individual makes sure others in the town are safe at night. The vigilante checks on one home every night, and if there are any unwanted visitors, the vigilante wards them off. If this happens, the vigilante does not learn the attacker's identity, but does know that an attack was made on that person. There are two vigilantes if there are 15 or more members of the town to start. The vigilante cannot protect themselves, but they can protect each other. The Mafia: The mafia makes up about a quarter of the town's population, rounded up. At night, they secretly decide on one person to kill. The Crime Boss: If there are three or more members of mafia, there is a Crime Boss who can break ties. The Butcher: The Butcher killed Detective Rastley in the first place, and was one of his secret apprentices. After being paid off handsomely by the mafia, he or she betrayed the Detective, but retained all of the learned skills... The butcher can investigate one person every cycle in the same way the Detective does, with a 75% chance of success. There is only a Butcher if there are 3 or more mafia.
All of the guests are herded into the Meowselsworth Stadium for the time being, and there are many little kiosks and activity centers set up. There is also plenty of menacing looking machinery. There are many people in the crowd who are watching the present competition live, on the edge of their seats. The eyes of millions are upon you all. A pillar raises from underground, on the top of it is Mittens von Meowselsworth behind unbreakable glass. "Ladies and gentlemen and all other gender categories not included therein, this is the time you have been waiting for! IT IS TIME FOR MEOWSELSWORTH'S PRISONER DEATHMATCH EXTRAVAGANZA!" calls the Helmet Cat high up in the booth overlooking the arena. "Remember, anything goes in the Deathmatch, and most of all, entertain the viewers during this horrible blood and-slash-or gearbath!" Mittens leans into the microphone. "Welcome to our guests! In Alphabetical order:" Aaron Lockley
"Wowee, that is quite an impressive lineup of contestants that we have here! Among these contestants, we have the following composition!" 2 scanbots
"For our first round, this is a bit of a warm-up, a half practice round where nobody dies!" There is a collective groan of disapproval from the audience. "But there will still be fighting, you better bet your pants on it, cause everyone loves free pants from Hiney Jeans! First round Team Leader Competition: Petty Popularity Contest. Who can become the most popular the fastest? Let's find out!"
This is the discussion for Meowselsworth's Prisoner Deathmatch Extravaganza!
"Hello ladies and gentlemen!" Mittens von Meowselsworth III nearly shouts into the microphone from a booth high above the competition grounds, the tiny helmet tuxedo cat having a booming voice that is known across planets as the announcer for all kinds of zany new reality television schemes. "It is my pleasure to bring you for the first time ever on television, Meowselsworth's Prisoner Deathmatch Extravaganza! Here's how it works: Our contestants, all death row inmates, are vying for their survival for the entertainment of you, our lovely viewers! Every deathmatch round, when the bell rings, our happy contestants start a competition, the end of which decides who gets to be the Team Leader, and who gets to be Team Loser! And not just that, but some of these prisoners are not prisoners at all. Some of these prisoners are, wait for it," and indeed, here Mittens pauses before enthusiastically almost singing into the microphone, "KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLER ROOOOOOOOBOOOOOOOTS!" The crowd goes wild with applause. After the success of The Real World with Killer Robots, Killer Robot Shore and Big Killer Robot, popular demand has demanded more and more killer robots in their television. "Who could have asked for better reality television?" The opening credits start to roll showing the various roles involved, Mittens's voice played over the footage.
"The Team Leader: Every round, the team leader is voted on by all the contestants as the one who exemplifies leadership for whatever task our darling friends are assigned! The Team Leader gets two votes and is immune to killer robot attacks! Wowee, now that's a title worth fighting for!" "The Snitch: The snitch is good at finding things out and ratting guys out. While he or she's not popular among our contestants at any other time, since the Snitch has been estimated 75% effective at figuring out a criminal's dirtiest secret, the Snitch might be able to eat like a king rather than sleep with them fishes!" "The Cat Burglar: Meow! You gotta love those sweet sweet felin- Wait, not actually feline?! What a crock of sh- Ahem, I mean. What a crock of lollipops, viewers! The cat burglar is stealthy as any feline, and can choose to watch someone every round. The cat burglar will see exactly who chose to use their powers on their target, but not what those powers are!" "The Hired Muscle: This guy or gal is tough as nails, but is he or she tough enough to tangle with a KILLER ROOOOOOOOOBOOOOOOOOT!? I don't know? Maybe? If the Hired Muscle decides to protect someone else from a Killer Robot attack, though, the person under his or her protection is as good as safe! Baralabaloom!" The crowd goes wild at the buzz word coined by Mittens in other reality television shows as it's exclaimed. "The Heisters: These people know each other from all those crazy capers that they got sent to death row for. OH YOU SILLY CONTESTANTS! Since they're buddy buddy, they are aware that neither one of them is a robot, and can speak in their secret buddy code. How neat!" "The Itchy Trigger Finger: I've never seen such a nervous nellie in my life! If startled, the Itchy Trigger Finger will shoot you in the face with a gun until you are dead! That's right, folks, don't try to protect, examine, or even killer robot this maniac, because this person is crazy crazy crazy about making sure all you privacy invaders are filled full of looking holes!" "And now, for what you've all been waiting for. It's time to tell you about our friends. THE KILLER ROBOTS!" "The Scanbot 6000: This bot can give you one filthy look and know what you're up to, up to a 75% success rate. Well, 75.04% according to the manual, but who the heck is counting, am I right? This robot is a dangerous opponent WHO KNOWS WHERE YOU SLEEP!" "The Sneakbot Model 2.0: The sneakbot can watch one person without being detected. If anyone investigates or protects the person that the sneakbot is sneaking on, SNEAKBOT WILL BLOW THEIR HEAD OFF WITH A FRIGGIN' ROCKET BARALABALOOM!" "Deathbot: The deathbot is just your standard ho-hum run of the mill deadly robot with an arsenal of covert weapons that can take a human being apart in 4 seconds or less, money back guarantee." "SO WHO IS READY FOR SOME SWEET SWEET MEOWSELSWORTH'S PRISONER DEATHMATCH EXTRAVAGANZA?"
