I guess it's OK to post this here, since, it's more a proposal for a game we could play here (because, I don't know if there would be enough interest for it or not).

I'm involved with a place (I won't name because I don't want to violate any competing forum rules) where we play Mafia games. Some of them we play with a Heroes theme, which would obviously be appropriate here since, well, it's the Heroes forum.

The basic theme of the game is the "uninformed majority" vs the "informed minority." People sign up to play and are randomly divided into two teams - Heroes or Villains - and play as characters from Heroes. Roughly 25% will be Villains (such as Linderman, Jessica, Meredith, Angela, etc), and roughly 75% will be Heroes (Peter, Nathan, Hiro, Claire, Niki, etc), although this may vary slightly. Those who are Villains have the ability to communicate with one another outside of the game thread about the game (this is usually done via PM). Those who are Heroes, however, cannot. I obviously have no way of confirming if you're following this, but, you crazy kids seem honest. The Villains want to kill all the Heroes. Likewise the Heroes with the villains.

The game is further divided into two basic areas - Day and Night - which do not correspond to real time day and night. Example: A Day in mafia could be five minutes or five hours. During the Night portion there is no activity on the game thread. This is when the Villains use their ability to PM with each other to choose a Hero to kill off. After night actions are fulfilled, the moderator of the game (that'd be me), posts a scene of original fiction involving the characters representing the players, detailing what went on in the night, who was killed or any other things that occurred of special interest within the game.

So, let's say "Joe" is playing "Bob" from Heroes, Bob is a Villain, and his team chooses to kill "Kate" who is "Sandra Bennet."

The story for Day might read something like, "Bob went up to Sandra and shot her, only to have a defiant Mr. Muggles bite him on his ankle." Then, at the bottom, it will list the actual result like this, "Kate - Sandra Bennet - Hero (insert powers here)" beneath the list of still-active players and the clue. And, I promise, the writing will be much better than this.

The Heroes then take that scene which begins Day plus a clue I drop and try to decipher which players amongst them are those dastardly Villains, which ones can be trusted, and who (if anyone) is expendable because they're an "Unspecial Ando" (meaning they have no special abilities to aid their team in the game - I'll get to those in a minute). But, the Villains are out there, with them, masquerading as Heroes, trying to steer them in the direction of killing their own and getting the Villains one step closer to victory. Once a majority is met on a candidate to kill, I'll post another scene (Dusk) which begins night and tells players the results of their actions during the Day and if they killed one of their own or not.

After that is posted, Night begins again, where the Villains again choose someone to attack and, when everyone who has a Night action has performed it (or 24 hours has come and gone), I'll post what happened in the Night and Day will start back.

So, the game sounds kind of complicated, but, it really isn't. I mentioned earlier there are special roles. A few examples of these roles include (but are not limited to):

Investigators (ie, Matt Parkman or Audrey or even Molly) who can figure out certain aspects of a player's identity.
A Doctor (ie, Mohinder) who can heal or protect a player.
A Vigilante (ie, HRG) who can perform an extra kill for his/her team.
A Recruiter (ie, Bob, Thompson) who can take a player from one team and bring them over to their side.

Both sides - Heroes and Villains - will have some mixture of people with these roles and other roles. But, there will be people who don't have major parts to play (the Andos or the Janice Parkmans of the world).

The quirk of this is, though, that - even if you can investigate or perform some helpful action - you have to be careful about your ability to do so. Because, if the Villain team thinks you can sniff one of them out, you're going to find yourself getting killed. So, it's definitely a balance of getting information where it needs to be and protecting yourself from exposure.

The last thing about the game that I wanted to bring up was the X Factor (or, the S Factor) - the Serial Killer. This is a solitary player whose objective is to get rid of ALL the Heroes and ALL the Villains. I probably don't need to tell you which character our Serial Killer would be, so, I'll just say, "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAINSSS!"

I guess that's it. I thought it'd be something fun for us to do while we wait for this horrible strike to end. I promise I'll try to keep the stories entertaining and I'll answer any questions I can. So, if you're interested, you can start signing up in this thread, which is where the game will be hosted and played. We usually need about 20 players where I play, but, I could probably work with a few more or less.

Yay, BB's back! I was wondering how you were doing.

I'd love to play, though I've never played this type of role-playing game before. Three questions:

1. Would this be played on the other site you mentioned, and

2. Could we pick who we want to play, or does the host decide?, and

3. Are there different rounds in "scenes" to play in which players are eliminated, or is it played differently?

Feel free to PM me if you like with the site name, and I can give you my email address.

[ButterflyBandit]

1. Would this be played on the other site you mentioned, and

2. Could we pick who we want to play, or does the host decide?, and

3. Are there different rounds in "scenes" to play in which players are eliminated, or is it played differently?

1. No, it'd be played right here, in this thread.

2. It's random. I draw names out of a hat.

3. It's like this:

Day Scene is posted.
People decide who (if anyone) to kill.
Dusk Scene is posted/Night begins.
Villains Kill someone.
Day Scene is posted showing what happened at night.
People decide who (if anyone) to kill.
Dusk Scene is posted/Night begins.

It's a cycle of that until one team (or Sylar) has eliminated the other.

The "scenes" are more or less fanfiction developed around the events going on within the game.

ETA: Oh, and, I'm doing much, much better, thank you.

Edited by ButterflyBandit, Jan 25, 2008 @ 3:59 PM.

[MarkHB]

I'll play, although I also have a question: if a team decides to kill a given person, is it therefore automatic that that person is killed? Plus, if the powers are in play (i.e., "Hiro takes Sandra to Papua New Guinea for her safety"), I think I'm picturing it as a combination of Diplomacy and the original Cosmic Encounter.

[ButterflyBandit]

Well, no, it's not automatic.

Like I said, there are more abilities than I listed. Those are just the most common.

It could occur that everyone is suspicious of, just to use them for an example, Autobiography (who in this scenario is Claire), but their ability is that they can survive one kill attempt.

In the event of this happening, the scene (which will be much longer and tell more of a story than what I'm using as examples) would show something like:

"Bob aims his gun at Claire as she stands by the window. One bullet in her chest and she falls through the glass, to the ground below. Fortunately, she's able to regenerate, but Bob knows now if he's going to get her, he's going to have to destroy her brain."

Then, if there is another attempt made on her, the scene would probably show Bob scrambling her brain.

However, if it's an attempt on Auto during the day, by her fellow Heroes, then, the scene will show a Hero making an attempt on her life. Such as, "Nathan has his gun on HRG. He knows he's bad. He saw him kill all those guards. So, he aims his gun at him. But, Claire can't let him kill the only father she's ever known, and just as the bullet comes bursting out, she jumps in front of it, intercepting it, and saving Noah. She regenerates, but it's slow. The next time she might not be too lucky."

Or, something along those lines. Some players have protections like these. Like I said, there's also the doctor who (usually) can protect one player per night from being killed by the Villains.

********

Edit: I'm going to start the sign-up. Auto, are you in?

[Autobiography]

Omigosh, are you kidding me? I love this game already, since I can help create so many cool scenarios with it. I mean, if I was Claire in the scene you pictured, I really would do just that.

And with a scene with the Angst Factor of "Claire jumps in front of a bullet shot by her own father in order to save her true father" I have to join. I love angst fan-fic stories; the good ones are my favorite kind!

So I'm totally in! (As long as you don't mind lots of angst-filled and creative entries by me. ;) )

From the way you described it, it sounds something like the "Heroes: Amazing Race Edition" thread, and I really enjoyed that game.

I'm sorry, but another question: since you mentioned abilities, they will be confined only to the ones had by actual characters on the show and/or comic, and not just powers we could invent ourselves, right?

I was considering listing all the characters and their abilities-could I do that for you, or did you want to do it?

Off-topic: I'm glad you're doing well, BB. I thought you were in college, so you went off the boards for a while for that reason, but I wasn't sure. Not that it's any of my business, but I went through some...personal issues while I was at college too, so I might be able to understand what you went through if it was something major like that.

Edited by Autobiography, Jan 25, 2008 @ 7:23 PM.

[Freckles101]

This sounds fun. I'm definitely interested in participating.

[chakram]

I think I understand the premise. Count me in.

[ibroketuesday]

I'm definitely in! One question, though: when I used to play this game at summer camp, the detective could ask the game runner about a person, and they'd be told whether that person was part of the mafia or not. Will something similar be in effect here?

[1trackmind]

I think I'd like to give it a try. It should be interesting trying to play this online.

[KleenexCow]

Ooh, count me in!

[ButterflyBandit]

From the way you described it, it sounds something like the "Heroes: Amazing Race Edition" thread, and I really enjoyed that game.

It is similar, I guess, in a way. Except you have to put a lot of thought into who you accuse of being a bad guy, because, if you’re wrong you risk offing not only one of your own, but someone with a special ability that could help you in getting rid of the actual Villains.

So, it’s kinda tricky.

But, when you vote, it’ll look something like this:

Let’s say there are 14 players in the game (I’m just throwing that number out there, for scenario’s sake).

Joe: “I think Sam is the evil Angela.”
Sam: “Nuh-uh, am not! I’m a Hero. Sally’s evil! I’m going to start the vote on her!”

Then, Sam would post something like this: Sally 1 (Sam) 7 to kill off.

This means Sally has 1 vote against her (the people who are voting for her) and how many it will take to make a majority to get rid of her.

So, then, Joe will either buy his story and vote: Sally 2 (Sam, Joe) 6 to kill off, or...

Joe: “Sam, I ain’t buying it.”

Sally 1 (Sam) 7 to kill off.
Sam 1 (Joe) 7 to kill off.

Then, the other players will listen to their arguments about why they suspect the other of being bad and either vote for them or share their own information they have or interpret from the stories to nominate someone entirely different.

I'm sorry, but another question: since you mentioned abilities, they will be confined only to the ones had by actual characters on the show and/or comic, and not just powers we could invent ourselves, right?

I was considering listing all the characters and their abilities-could I do that for you, or did you want to do it?

Usually, I try to keep the powers at least in the ballpark of what they can do on the show. Like, Matt Parkman, usually when I have him as a character, his ability is when night falls, he can PM me the name of a player, and I will tell him a snippet of what’s going on in that player’s character's mind. However, I haven’t modded this game since season 2 started, so, I could potentially change that so that he can use his new persuasion ability to persuade the Villains not to kill him if they attack.

Also, if there are more games after this, sometimes I'll introduce characters not on the show, that I created. If I get to where I'm going to do that, though, I usually have people suggest original characters/abilities ahead of time, because, I like for players to feel involved. Now, I don't guarantee I use them all, but, I like having an original character pool to pull from down the road. But, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Then, there’s HRG (who has no powers other than major hotness). A lot of the time I’ll make him the Heroes’ vigilante, but, sometimes, I’ll make him an Unspecial because I *do* like to switch up which characters I have doing things and which ones I don’t. So, just because, say, Sylar’s in the game, don’t assume he’s going to have like thirty different powers from the people he kills. He might just be your average serial killer and that’s all he can do.

Or, he might even be a .... HERO. It just all depends on the game we’re playing. I like to switch things up to keep them interesting, but, for game 1 (if all goes well, I’ll hope for a game 2), I’m going to stick very close to the roles they project on the show (if they’re good, they’re good in the game and if they’re bad, they’re bad in the game).

Which, I know is like forty different answers to that one question, I just wanted to go ahead and get that out there.

But, their powers WILL be based on their abilities, and if you want to help me out with a list while I hammer out the first story, that’d be awesome. :-)

ETA: One other thing to consider, I told you there will be lots of different abilities in this game, more than what I listed in the original post (investigator, doctor or vigilante). So, if you figure out who a character is, look at what they can do on the show and try to figure out what they might be able to do in the game. Sometimes things backfire on you if you aren't careful.

ETA2: When sign-ups close, I'll send each one of you a private message telling you who you are, what abilities (if any) you have, what side you're on and all that good stuff.

Off-topic: I'm glad you're doing well, BB. I thought you were in college, so you went off the boards for a while for that reason, but I wasn't sure. Not that it's any of my business, but I went through some...personal issues while I was at college too, so I might be able to understand what you went through if it was something major like that.

Yeah, like I’d give up my TWOP addiction over that pesky little education thing. Heh. No, I was in the hospital, which I mentioned on the HRG thread. It was difficult (and, my throat looks like someone stuck their thumb in it where I had that breathing tube in) and definitely nothing any twenty-one year old wants to deal with, but, I am doing TONS better now.

I’d actually meant to propose this game before I went in, but, I’m glad I didn’t. It would have sucked if I posted this, people wanted to play then I disappeared for over a month. Heh.

ETA 3 - Sorry, I didn't see this the first time I posted:

One question, though: when I used to play this game at summer camp, the detective could ask the game runner about a person, and they'd be told whether that person was part of the mafia or not. Will something similar be in effect here?

Yes, something similar. It depends on the investigator's ability. I used Matt Parkman earlier in an example, so, I'll elaborate on that to answer your question. When I have him be able to investigate, I have him using his mind-reading abilities.

Example:

Joe is Matt Parkman and wants to investigate Sam by reading his mind.
Sam is Noah Bennet.
Joe will PM me and say something like, "what is Sam thinking right now?"
I'll send him back something Noah has said during the show, like "People are fragile. Like teacups."
Joe will take that, see it was Noah who said it, look at the stories and see who Noah is working with/for and be able to tell, from that, if Noah/Sam is a good guy or a bad guy.

However, he's not going to be able to just come out the next day and say, "Hey, Sam's clean/bad!" Because, if he does that, it's going to put a huge target on his back, unless he's protected.

So, you're going to have to be very clever with the information you obtain behind the scenes.

[seffina]

So, if I sign up, I can't just automatically be Peter?

In other words, sign me up. (I was kidding about the Peter thing. I'm known as seffeter in the HMM.)

Edited by seffina, Jan 26, 2008 @ 10:29 PM.

[ButterflyBandit]

Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far. This is usually very fun, especially around the middle, when people have gotten the swing of things.

I've decided that the plot for Game 1 is going to start with the end of 2X11. So, it'll build off the last scene of that episode, with Nathan getting shot, Niki going boom, etc.

[writingdreamer]

I'd like to play too, I used to play the RL version of this game and it was always fun!:)

[ButterflyBandit]

I'm glad you guys are interested in this.

One of the things I like best are that it changes each time you play it. Some games go stale after a week or two because it's the same thing, over and over. But, Mafia offers new stories, new characters, different abilities, all kinds of things each time you play.

[bratnumber3]

I'd like to play, but if the southern hemishphere time lag thing is going to be a problem it's cool. I understand the issues inherent with me being asleep during peak PM hours :)

[KleenexCow]

I will admit that I have the same problem as you, bratnumber3. I'm in England, so my timing is off, too. If we play so that you have to post between certain hours, this might be a problem for me.

[ButterflyBandit]

That's not a problem. You don't have to post between certain hours. The only thing with a time limit on it is the "night actions," which you have a full 24 hours to use.

So, it won't be an issue.

Thanks!

I'm hoping we can get a few more players. I'm really anxious to get started.

[GrannyApple]

I would want to play except I'd be absolutely terrible at figuring people out... I guess every game needs a Peter, though! (Jussst kidding.)

Seriously, though, is it OK if I play even though I'm still a little unclear on how exactly the action develops?

[ButterflyBandit]

Sure!

I'll try to give a better example.

Um, let's say you're Peter and Auto is Angela. You have the ability to investigate, so, when you can use it, you investigate Auto and learn who she is.

The next day, people want to lynch someone else, but you KNOW who Auto is and Angela is bad (you'll know this from the stories showing what goes down), so, you might try to steer them away from lynching whoever they're going to lynch.

At the same time, you won't want to come right out and say "I know Auto is Angela" because then you run the risk of the Villains eliminating you (they love to get rid of those investigators). OR, you might ask for the doctor (IF Mohinder is still alive) to protect you if you reveal who's bad.

So, you'll have to sort of figure out how to steer your team, because the villains are going to be out there, trying to get them to lynch Heroes.

[ButterflyBandit]

Tell you guys what, since this is moving a little more slowly than I was kind of hoping, I'm going to leave sign-ups open until 12:00 PM EST on Wednesday, and, if no one else has signed up, we'll just treat it as a mini-mafia.

It works the same way, except there are just fewer people and it won't take as long as a full mafia would.

So, people are still welcome to sign up, but, be looking for your character/affiliation PMs after noon tomorrow. It usually takes me an hour or so to get those out.

Okay, I'm going to start getting PMs out and I'll post "DAY 1" as soon as I'm done.

DAY 1

Nathan Petrelli, Peter Petrelli, and Matt Parkman
Odessa, Texas

“At first, I was afraid. But I’m – I’m not afraid anymore. I’m here to tell you the truth. I have the ability--”

Shots.
A woman screams.
Nathan falls.

Peter’s there, cradling him in his arms. No. Not like this. Not when he just got him back.

Through all the chaos, someone manages to call 9-1-1, while Peter kneels on the police station floor, trying to will his brother to live. He reminds him about his children, about his wife, even about Angela, and when that doesn’t seem to be working, Peter reminds him about how much they love each other. How much they’ve been through, and that manages to do the trick. By the time the ambulance arrives, he’s telling Nathan how much he needs him, and promising they’ll meet him at the hospital.

The EMT crew straps him down on stretcher and rushes him off. Peter goes to follow after, but Parkman stops him.

“Not now, we have to get to the hospital.”

Parkman is persistent, though, pointing out one of the EMT workers. “That guy, I’ve seen him before.”

Peter doesn’t seem to care, though. In fact, as Parkman stands there, trying and failing to get a read on the guy, Peter’s already gone.

The crew loads Nathan into the back, and as the take off, he’s relieved. If he’s going to die, he’s glad he doesn’t have to do it looking at Peter’s face. He didn’t want to see the disappointment when Peter realizes he’s lied to him yet again when he promised he’d live.

What once was the searing pain of bullets wounds and labored breaths starts giving way to the dimness, the coldness, and all he can feel now is a longing to see Claire one last time. A longing to do it all over again and maybe get something right. Despite the numbness, he knows the stinging sensation of a needle slipping into his vein when he feels it. A moment later, the numbness is gone, but in its place is neither death nor even the pain of before. There is no longer the struggle to breathe. There was just his heart, thumping beneath a chest somehow no longer riddled with bullet holes.

Groggy, Nathan manages to turn his head just enough to see blood being pumped into his arm. He tries to move, but the restraints are keeping him firmly in place.

“Just try to relax, buddy,” the EMT by his side says as his cell phone goes off. Guy takes it out of his pocket, looks at the display and tells the one driving it’s the boss. When he answers, he says only, “It worked.”

Adam Monroe
Somewhere Under the Earth


Adam Monroe could hardly believe it. Buried alive? Even he didn’t think carp had such cruelty in him. There was nothing down there but the sounds of his heartbeat and his own flatulence to keep him company. He’d tried singing that stupid song about bottles of beer on the wall, but that grew boring after the seventh round or so.

How long had he been down there? Days? Weeks? Months? Years?

He had no idea, but soon, he was to find out.

Above, the sounds of digging. Of two shovels eagerly tossing the dirt atop his tomb away. It took them a while, but soon, those shovels were clanging against his steel encasement, and before he knew it, he was free.

Adam had hoped for sunshine and fresh air, but it was night and cold and the air was rather dry. He had little time to concentrate on that, though. Instead, he tackled the task of figuring out what *they* were doing there. Angela and Bob? Had ... had they freed him?

“Hello, Adam,” Angela said. Her face was long and tired. He knew that look. It was grief.

“I have to say, you’re the last people I expected to see.”

Bob trained a gun on him. “We need your help.”

Adam smiled. His help? Had they forgotten he’d tried to kill them? “What’s in it for me?” He asked.

“We won’t kill you,” Angela said, revealing her own gun.

Adam smirked. “What do you need my help for?”

Angela sighed. “Noah Bennet is trying to take down the Company. He killed my son, Nathan, as a means of buying his family’s safety, but, he’s still plotting. We need him eliminated, and everyone who’s helping him.”

“And, I need him eliminated so I can finally bring Claire into the Petrelli line, where she belongs.”

Adam drew his breath in sharply. “Ah, yes. Claire. I’ve heard about her. She and I have a great deal in common. I’ve had a lot of lives and loves, but, I have to say, a bride who could never die does have a certain appeal.”

Angela cocked her gun and steadily raised it square with Adam’s head. “Will you help us or not?”

He thought about it for a few seconds, rubbed his chin, shifted his eyes back and forth, before finally shrugging and saying, “Fine, but the carp’s mine.”

[KleenexCow]

Okay, I'm going to start off the discussion because someone has to break the ice, huh?

So who've we got for characters? It's looking like Nathan, Peter, Matt, Angela, Bob, and Adam get lines. Also mentioned are Bennet, Claire, and Hiro.
So that's nine, assuming that all of those who speak/are mentioned are player characters. Who are the other two? I'm betting the EMT guy is someone we know already, maybe a player character himself. I'd suspect Mo, but no, I'm pretty sure that Matt would have flat-out recognized him. Unless some greater plot is at work? Hmm.
Alliances? Obviously similar to the show, with Angela, Bob, and Adam representing the (presumably bad) Company, and Nathan, Peter, and Matt on the side of good. Hiro, I presume, is with the brothers Petrelli and Matt.
Bennet (as always) proves tricky. Obviously our villian trio doesn't like him, but he DID shoot Nathan, so him falling in with that crowd seems doubtful. Unless he's the puppetmaster behind Nathan's EMT rescue. Claire is prooobably on the side of good, although if Bennet's loyalty is in question and he might represent some off-shoot group, then Claire could potentially be with him. Unless she's not. Rebellious teenagers are silly.
Aaaand, doesn't look like Angela knows that Nathan's alive. Or, if she does, and SHE'S behind the EMTs, she's not playing those cards openly.

That's what I've got of our plot. But I'm having a hard time connecting any of this to usernames. I've practically memorized the story looking to see if any usernames pop up in the story, but alas, no dice. So I have no actual information yet, and I'm going to assume that none of my fellow good guys do, either, since there hasn't been a nighttime period during which any investigation can be done. So do I do the assholeish thing and single out a name for nomination just because I can? Or do I vote no lynch?

Well, since no one actually died, I'm going to vote no lynch.

[ButterflyBandit]

No Lynch 1 (KleenexCow) 5 to No Lynch

[MarkHB]

BB, you did a marvelous job on that writeup! I wish the NBC comics had that level of depth ("sound of his own flatulence"... not deep, but a terrific line!)

However, I am not walking up to the ballot box yet.

[chakram]

I'm sorry if someone has asked this already, but just so I'm clear. You indicated the game is divided into Night and Day. Does Night automatically begin after you post the Day portion? Are we permitted to post discussion in the thread during the Night portion?

No Lynch 2 (chakram) 4 to No Lynch (is this right in format?)

[GrannyApple]

What if the EMT is one of the TC's founders? That could explain why Matt sort of recognized him. Or hey, maybe it's West, and his overall creepiness wasn't a mistake.

And I'm going to second MarkHB-that line was great, as was the curing properties of the brothers' love. Oh, Petrellis.

I'm going to assume that none of my fellow good guys do

I see what you did there... ADAM. (Joking! Don't kill me!)

I'm not going to lynch someone yet, although the clue did make me suspicious of someone, so: No Lynch 3 (KleenexCow, chakram, GrannyApple) 3 to No Lynch

Good lord, you don't know how many times I had to edit this.

Day stories indicate Day has begun. You vote during day, trying to get rid of a villain.

When you've reached a majority decision on who (or, to) lynch, then I'll post the Night scene, which means Night has started.

During Night, you're not supposed to talk, and the villains use that time to pick off someone and anyone with abilities, like investigative abilities, will do their job.

Then, when that is done (or 24 hours has passed), I'll post another Day scene, indicating what happened during Night.

ETA: One more thing, I'm usually around after noon EST. I'm a college kid, so, my laptop is practically glued to my side. So, if you leave me any messages, expect a response around then.

Ok, so Nathan's been healed by Claire's blood, which could mean he's on his way to one of the Company's facilities, but does that mean either Bob or Angela knows he's alive? Could the EMT guy be the Haitian maybe, since Matt sort of recognized him? Adam seems to be going after Hiro, which isn't good.

I've decided No Lynch 4 (writingdreamer).

Hmm.. I too have wondered on who the tenth and eleventh heroes would be.. What does 'cast your vote wisely' mean? I do not think we have enough information yet. I would not want to jump to conclusions about who is a villain and who is a hero, that has gotten me in trouble in the past. Maybe 'wise' relates to a username? A wise Granny? A wise person writes an Autobiography? I wish I had a friend to help me figure out these things.
