REVIVAL OF MAFIA: DIRE STREETS
In modern day times, gangs have been pictured as disorganized, mindless thugs vying for control over a small square of land. They’re just a bunch of teenagers trying to mimic the old factions that once roamed the scene in hundreds, becoming leaders in organized crime. Now, everyone hides in the internet, doing business transactions while cloaked with the anonymity of technology.
But what if someone looked back to the old times? What if there were a group of people that were daring enough to start a renaissance of sorts, bringing back the past imagery of gun-totting thugs and expensive suits?
With dedication, any sort of things can be accomplished. And if someone is dedicated enough to plunge their world into one immersed in crime, little can be done to stop it.
It’s up to you; are you dedicated to saving your town, or letting it burn?
Let the games begin!!!
General Info:
This game will have an open setup: you WILL know which roles exist.
Nothing wrong with a good roleplaying game. Feel free to join in with your own character with your own quirks and such! However, this is definitely not required.
It may be fun, but it is somewhat serious: sign-up if you know you’ll be a decently active player. However, as I will reiterate later, THERE IS NO REAL BIG SKILL REQUIREMENT. So long as you know the basics you’re good to go.
Have fun, most important part!
Da rules, as written by Alpha and modified by GmK:
About voting:
To vote, use the format of vote username. Yes, it must be bolded. Preferably, put this at the end of your post.
Whenever you want to No-Lynch, Abstain, or Unvote, the same formula goes.
For a vote to go through, a majority of the players must have voted on the same subject. When this occurs, everyone stops talking while the host wraps up the day events and prepares for the night portion of the game.
Night and Day:
As per usual, days will go on until a voting resolution is reached. This can change, however, if there is an activity lull or players have not reached a decision in some time.
Nights will generally last two-three days at most, depending on how fast power roles respond.
Roles:
The Chain of Command:
Hit priorities: Whoever is the fastest to firing the gun. For example, if the Drifter sends a hit against the Propagandist before they choose to scramble results, results are not scrambled.
Current action priorities: If a player is killed and he had an action in use PRIOR to someone sending in a PM attacking him, it will carry through. So if the Leader sends in a hit but has a hit sent against themselves by the Drifter, both hits go through.
Doctor protection circumvents this. If the Surgeon General happens to be visiting the Leader that night, they will survive.
Win Conditions:
For Town: The Mafia must be eliminated, as well as all third party roles. The Fence will be the major winner if they survive long enough to get the joint-win, so if the town wants total victory, he/she must be cut out of the picture.
For Mafia: The gang must equal half of the players remaining or obtain a majority. They take win precedence over the Drifter if they stay as a Serial Killer.
For Third Party: For the Fence to win, they must survive long enough in the game until one side claims victory; they then joint-win with that faction. The Drifter’s win conditions can change depending on what role they pick. If they remain a Serial Killer, they must be the last one standing.
The Fence cannot joint-win with the Serial Killer. If it so happens that both third party roles are the last ones standing, the SK takes priority. If the Fence somehow winds up the last one standing, they can solo-win, but this is unlikely. You’d have to be left with three players, including the Drifter acting as SK. Then whoever the Fence gave the gun to for the day would have to shoot the other player.
Just trying to explain things out so everything is understandable.
But if you have questions, feel free to ask me at any time during the game. I will respond as fast as possible.
Wanna Play? Sign Up!
For this game, players of any experience level are welcome. If you wish to join, just say Sign me up. Slots will not be dictated by ‘old vs. new player’. It’s first come, first serve.
I’m thinking around 16 players for this particular game, but that number can change depending on the turnout. When that number is achieved, role PMs will be configured and sent out.
We’ll play with 12 players at minimum and 20 players maximum. Roles can be added/taken away depending on turnout.
IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE, NO MATTER WHAT ROLE YOU GET, DO NOT FORFEIT AND JUST GIVE YOURSELF UP.
If, for some reason, you will not be able to play, send me a PM telling me how long you will be gone. Depending on numbers, we can possibly run some reserve slots if people are interested. But we won’t go over 20 regular players.

Night and Day:
As per usual, days will go on until a voting resolution is reached. This can change, however, if there is an activity lull or players have not reached a decision in some time.
Nights will generally last two-three days at most, depending on how fast power roles respond.
Roles:
To use a role: To use any role given in this game, the only way to use your ability is to PM the host. So if your ability gives you the power to kill someone at night, you have to PM the host saying who you want to kill during nighttime hours. For day abilities, send a PM during day hours saying what you shall do with your ability.
(A ^ designates a role with a night ability. A ~ designates a role with a day ability. A + designates a role with no real ability. A ? marks a miscellaneous role.)
Town-Sided:
^-Investigator = the cop that patrols a nearby street. They have the ability to investigate one player during the night.
^-Surgeon General = a well-respected medical official. They have the ability to protect one player during the night. Can only protect themselves once.
~-Protestor = an individual against the turmoil of the town. During the day, they can post anonymous statements (send a PM to the host and he will post the statement). They can also send messages directly to a specific player (once again, through the host).
^-Witness = someone that can see the goings-on of the area. At night, they can watch one person and see who visits them.
~-Politician = a government official attempting to create a positive change. They have double-vote power twice. Can only activate once per day.
?-SWAT Officer = member of a SWAT force dispatched in the area. They can choose to either block an action or investigate during the night or fire a shot during the day. Each action can only be done once.
+-Citizen (x7) = regular town member.
Mafia sided:
^-Leader = the head of the gang. They decide on who to kill during the night. They also have investigative immunity.
^-Scout = a member of the gang that sneaks around town. At night, they can investigate a player and determine their role. However, if a power role is visiting the Scout and/or their target, no results are given.
~^-Propagandist = the ‘voice’ of the gang. They can choose to scramble results either during the day or night. Scrambling will cause a random role to be applied to a deceased player (ex: Player A is a townie and is lynched; if Propagandist decided to scramble, they could appear as Officer, etc.). Can use this ability only once. Scrambling CAN apply to the Propagandist is they happen to die when they chose to use their ability, unless they were roleblocked (see Chain of Command section).
^-The Lieutenant = the second-in-command of the mafia. They inherit the kill power first if the Leader is killed. Investigative immunity IS NOT passed. If both the Lieutenant and Leader are dead, the Scout and Propagandist decide between themselves who takes kill power. Whoever does loses their ability.
+-Soldier = a regular mafia member. They are the last member to inherit kill power; all other roles will inherit it before the Soldier does.
Third Party:
?-The Fence = an anonymous individual that acts as the middle man in the town. They can contact a role anonymously through the host. They can also give a gun to a player of their choice. Whoever fires the gun will be announced. If the gun is not used when it is given, it cannot be used later and expires. The Fence CAN be shot by a gun they distribute.
^-The Drifter = the typical third-party role. Can choose to kill a player during the night. However, there is a twist: they can steal the role of the first person they kill if they so desire. If they decide not to or do not make a decision by the end of the day, they remain as essentially a Serial Killer.
