A Game of Thrones Mafia
A Specialty for 19 players

When you play the game of thrones, you either win or you die.
King Robert is dead, and Westeros has many who vie for the throne, believing themselves worthy to fill the power vacuum that his death has created. You find yourself among them, and why not. Your claim to the throne is as good as any other, and you would be a fine ruler. Perhaps you’d use your power to quash those who have opposed you in the past. Or you might use the power to subvert the system in place and lift up those around you to new heights. Maybe you’d spend your time enjoying the comforts of wealth and power; after all, if you can’t enjoy the pleasures in life as the most powerful person in the realm, then what was the point? Maybe you’d reluctantly take charge because you’re an idealist, and who else will put their subjects before themselves?
Whatever your motivation, the time to act is short. And even though you trust those closest to you, there are many who would see you dead, using you as a stepping stone towards their own purpose. So prepare yourself, for winter is coming, and so is your demise if you’re not ready.
Game Specific Rules
The Iron Throne:
During each day:
Each player will PM the mod privately the name of the player who’s claim to the iron throne they would like to support. They may change this as many times as they desire, up until twilight is announced. The player with the most supporters will gain control of the throne. You may not support yourself. The player that takes the throne will be revealed during the end of day scene.
While at least 50% of the starting players are alive:
That player’s actions (including factional) cannot be interfered with (they can be observed, but not stopped, redirected, or prevented; killing abilities will not pierce protection), and they have two votes the following day.
The Houses/Additional Win Conditions:
In general, each player will not only have a traditional Mafia alignment, but will also be a part of an ingame house or faction that has an alternate wincon (or wincons) that can be achieved in spite of or alongside your main factional win. You will know the members of your house/faction, and share a night chat with them (as such, use of discord is required for this game). You will not know their alignment, and flavor will be functionally random between the factions. It is possible for a player to win two ways.
A note on flavor:
While flavor is not relevant to traditional alignment, it may be relevant to another player or house’s alternate Wincon, and revealing it may not be in your best interest. You have been warned.
A note on the scum team:
Mafia have daychat, and the factional kill is assigned, and it can be used alongside any other actions.
A note about spoilers:
It should go without saying, but this game will contain spoilers (and creative adaptions as needed by game events), so if you have not seen the show or read the books, go binge them.

Dead and Gone
Silvercrys3467 - Robert Baratheon: Town, drank and whored himself to an early grave pregame
Player: Silvercrys3467
Character: Robert Baratheon
Faction: King
Faction Members: Silvercrys3467
Alignment: Town
Abilities: Drink and Whore (passive) - At the start of the game, you will die. Your sacrifice will be a testament to what a town role PM might look like.
Factional Win Conditions: Long May he Reign! - Survive past pregame.
-or- Protector of the Realm - Control the iron throne the whole game.
As a young man, you were set to marry Lyana Stark and join your house with the great Stark house of the north. But the Prince Raegar Targaryen kidnapped her, sparking your outrage and setting in motion the events that would eventually lead to a war.
You won that war, and became king of the realm, and now, years later, you find that you liked winning the crown much more than having it. You leave the politics to your advisers, and the raising of your children to a wife you don’t love; preferring to eat, drink, and hunt (women or boar, though those are very different hunts).

Regular game rules (Adapted from rules by Silvercrys):
Boring Stuff:
0: I am the game host, which means I am the final arbiter of role interactions and game rule infringements. I will never lie or intentionally mislead you. If you have a problem with a ruling I make please shelve it until post game. To the best of my and my reviewer(s)’ knowledge this is not a b@stard game.
1: Mafia is a game, we’re here to have fun. Please be respectful of your fellow players. Sometimes emotions run high and we get caught up in the moment. That is not an excuse for flaming or poor sportsmanship. I will be very strict on this front; regardless of whether you initiate or retaliate.
2: When generating (or faking, as applicable) reads, please do not use angleshooting or out of game knowledge to the best of your ability. This means do not use the timing, reasons, or order of substitutions and modkills to influence others, do not use the timing or phrasing of role PMs to influence others, do not make alignment bets with out of game consequences, do not speculate on reason for replacement, and do not use “trust tells” or similar. This list is not exhaustive.
3: If you have a question about your role or a rules interaction, please PM me or message me on Discord. I will not answer questions posed to me in the game thread other than questions about vote counts or deadlines. If you raise a question that needs addressing to the entire game (regarding a special rule or similar) I will anonymize your question and announce the answer.
4: Do not talk about this game outside of this thread and discord links or PMs given to you in your role PM or approved by me. Please ensure I am copied on PMs sent to other players. This is a modkillable offense.
5: No funny business. Do not use invisible text, cryptography, tiny writing, hidden messages, acronym/alphabet claims, or similar. This is a modkillable offense.
6: Do not directly quote your role PM or any private communications (Discord, etc.) when posting in the main game thread. This includes mason chats and scum chats. Please paraphrase - if you are in doubt, ask me before posting! This is a modkillable offense.
7: Do not edit, delete, or thank posts. Even if it’s an accidental double post. This is a modkillable offense.
8: Please post content at least once every 48 hours. Content is, of course, subjective, but “Posting to avoid prod,” “catching up,” or similar short not-really-game-related posts are obviously not content. If you need to be absent for an extended period of time please post “V/LA until [Date]” in bold on its own line in the thread so that I and the other players know when you’ll be back. You do not need to explain your reasons for being absent in thread. If you will be gone for more than four or five days you should consider requesting replacement.
9: Do not publicly accuse others of rule breaking/cheating. If you believe someone has broken one or more of these rules, message me directly.
10: You are responsible for following all forum and subforum rules and guidelines. Forum-wide rules are available here, and our subforum specific Mafia rules are in the Mafia Hosting Sign-Ups & Hosting Rules thread (spoilered here for convenience):
-Game Limit-
Players may participate in only three games at any given time. An exception to this rule can be made by moderators in need of a replacement for a game, if no other replacement can be found.
-Suicide-
If you no longer wish to participate in a game for any reason, contact the moderator. Do NOT attempt to force the moderator to modkill you.
-Current Game Discussion-
A player in an ongoing game may not discuss that game with any other player in that game, or in public forums. Also, it is a good idea to ask permission before discussing the game with anyone outside the game, because they can no longer replace into the game once any meaningful discussion takes place.
-Cryptoclaims-
Unless explicitly authorized by the game moderator in their opening rules section, cryptoclaims are forbidden.
-Out-of-game Promises-
Players may not use out-of-game promises (example: I swear on my grandmother's life, I bet you my entire collection of magic cards, etc.) in an effort to influence other players.
-Multiple Players On One Account-
"Hydra" accounts - multiple people playing and posting as one player with shared access to the "gimmick" account, are not allowed unless they have prior approval from the specific game Moderator. Please do not do this on your own.
-Traitor/Alignment Switching Roles-
Game moderators are strongly encouraged to be extraordinarily careful if they seek to include a traitor role in their designs. These roles are notorious for causing games to implode, for creating fairness concerns, and for the challenge they pose to the town's behavioral analysis. (See Discussion in Council Thread, Post 3351, onwards.)
Please note that bold red text is permitted by non-moderators in this subforum for town/scum lists, game host actions, and similar. Just don’t use it excessively.
TL;DR: Be excellent to each other, post something substantial every 48 hours, ask me questions in private when possible, don’t edit or delete posts unless your role explicitly allows it, no funny business involving cryptography, etc. and... have fun, that’s the whole point. Deadlines:
All day phases will have a deadline equal to 14 days, scaling down as the number of players in the game decreases. I strongly encourage you to plan on attempting to secure a lynch threshold 24 hours before the actual deadline. This is not a rule, but a measure you as players can take to prevent unwanted no lynches that often cause the game to stagnate.
Night phases will last for as close to 48 hours as I can manage, but the deadline for night actions will be 47 hours so I can open the thread promptly when Day begins.
I will post the deadline and approximate time remaining until the deadline at start of day and when I post official vote counts. I will PM players with unsubmitted night actions 24 hours before the action deadline as a reminder. Lynching:
Players will be lynched once a simple majority of votes for that player is achieved (i.e. Majority lynch).
There will likely be some amount of time (twilight) between the final lynch vote and the lynch scene. Players may post during twilight.
If a majority lynch is not achieved by the deadline, no lynch will occur. Order of Operations:
The short version is, stuff works the way you probably expect it to work. If you have a question about a specific interaction, PM me and I will explain in general terms how it would resolve. Other Role Stuff:
You cannot self-target unless your role PM specifies otherwise.
[Active] abilities must be manually activated each time you wish to use them (i.e. you need to PM me, preferably with the intended activation in bold). These abilities can be tracked, roleblocked, and redirected unless otherwise specified.
[Passive] abilities are always active and cannot be tracked, roleblocked or redirected.
Active abilities with a limited number of shots will expend a shot when activated even if they fail to resolve. Passive abilities with a limited number of shots will automatically expend shots when used.
Killing a player does not prevent them from using night actions or being targeted by other night actions.
The Mafia Factional Night Kill is an [Active] ability and can be tracked, roleblocked, redirected, etc.
There is a limit of one night action per player per night. The Mafia Factional Night Kill does not count towards this limit.
Voting:
I will NOT be using Ecophagy’s vote counter to total your votes. However, in the interest of site wide voting consistency, I ask that the following voting rules still be adhered to.
Creating vote counts will be trivial for me (and you!) with this tool, however it places some restrictions on the ways you can vote.
The current voting rules are:
Make sure your votes are bolded. Please keep nicknames reasonable.
Unvotes must stand alone (instead of using "unvote: player X", simply use “unvote”).
A player cannot vote and then afterwards unvote in the same post (the program looks for unvotes before votes).
Do not use extraneous punctuation in your vote. A single “:” after the word “vote” is permissible but not required.
You must have a space between the word "vote" and the name of the player you wish to vote. If you use a colon, the space must appear after the colon. Ex.: [b]Vote shadowlancerx[/b] or [b]Vote: shadowlancerx[/b]
You cannot use italics or colors when voting unless you make the bold tags the innermost tags. Ex: [color=blue][b]Vote: shadowlancerx[/b][/color]
I do encourage you to color your votes though!
Do not put extra spaces between your vote and the bold tags. This kills the vote.
If your vote was not counted, simply vote again. “Incorrect” vote counts will not be altered unless I determine they were uncounted due to an error in the program.
If you accidentally break quote tags that contain someone else's vote, your vote will be changed by the machine and you will need to revote.
In general, if you vote using the player’s full name and only type “[b]vote playername[/b]” your vote will be counted.
You can generate your own vote counts by downloading the tool here. Note that the “nicknames” field is a comma delineated list that will work incorrectly if you use spaces after the commas. Victory Conditions:
A faction (Town/Mafia) will win when all threats to their team are eliminated, or if nothing can prevent that from happening.
I will, as ModShadow is my witness, make every effort to keep this a positive game. If your plan is to be a jerkbutt, I recommend you change your plan or I WILL CHANGE IT FOR YOU. Don't make me meme.

THRRROOOONNNEEES YEAH. GAME OF THROOOONNNNEEES YEAH.. GAME OF THROOONES. (THRONES YEAH GAME OF THRONES YEAH GAME OF THRONES)
vote sir chris
Hey budddddy. How ya doooooing.
nice to see you rolled town this game
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM.
Also, how the **** did you get that from just one post?
Scum with inside information.
Vote Wisp
Hey ya'll I'm neutral that can with the town. I am the Iron Bank.
Basically I can offer up a JOAT of abilities to players and if they achieve their faction achievements I can consider the debt paid off. I need to achieve a few repayments in order to achieve my win condition.
I have abilities to offer up such as,
The Golden Company - Which gives a player a Vig shot that also can't be RoleBlocked.
I also have abilities such as,
Ledger of Titles - Which allows a player to recruit that player to their faction.
Overall I think that I can help the town win the game and will provide a full list of my abilities to the town so they can determine how to use them. I'm up for popular vote.
I have finals today so I'm going to be pretty busy, but this claim is about as serious as my vote on Wisp.
@Shinichi Your brother rolled scum lets end his misery.
Rodemy I hate you so much. So, so much. So so much.
Vaimes I saw what you said in the scum chat of the last game about the experience humbling me and let me assure you it will not.
Anyway I am campaigning for the Iron Throne because clearly I know how to lead as long as Killjoy doesn't shank me repeatedly without me getting to say a word.
##vote:Killjoy
Please die before you can hurt me more, bad man.
Also D_V claiming neutral is a ... bold move. I also vote we give me the vig shot. Basically give me all of the powers please so that I can murder scum before someone has bad ideas.
Also Tom if town please stop saying "I am the towniest as defense" ty love you.

@DV: What happens to a player who accepts your gifts and doesn't achieve their faction achievement(s)? How long does a player have after getting one of your gifts to achieve one or more faction achievements? If they have multiple faction achievements, do they have to achieve all of them? If they do achieve all of them, does that count toward more than one repayment to you?

Idk d_V. I have to disagree, While that post may REEEEK Of Tmi, i don't think he actually is scum because of it. Why out yourself like that in opening post?

It’s not the best choice, but it’s a choice nonetheless
Why is anyone taking Wisp's posts for more than a "wow Rodemy you've got zany energy don't you?" that it obviously is? What is wrong with you people.

Someone cop Chris before anyone gives him anything.
that's such a waste, u cop your nulls, and there is not going to be an alignment cop in a shadow game, this isn't healthy paranioa
Uh, no, you cop the people who try and lead the town.
I’m not gonna metagame shadow. I don’t keep track of games like that.
who the heck cops people leading the town, what are you trying to do? Find a deep wolf? And shadow never having an alignment cop in his game is fairly known information. And actually that's wrong, cause even deep wolves don't play like that. So again, unhealthy paranioa
And you’ll have to walk me through the “nice to see you rolled town” > “you have zany energy” leap.
*Looks at above post*
Uh... Nevermind I guess, objection withdrawn. Apparently I thought Wisp was just commenting on Rodemy being a dork and jokingly clearing him for it but apparently he is very good at this game and can tell the difference between scum and town Rodemy.
Which may still be a town thing but I'll let you stab him a few times and see what sounds he makes.

Oh wait.
This was serious?
Well call me a liar then this vote might be for real.
Wisp's read on Rodemy is shallow, but so are the reads on Wisp.
the reads on me are level 0 that's for sure, but my read on rodemy is 11/10... They just mad cause they ain't me
It's an okay read.
I see where you're coming from - scum!Rodemy would probably be sick of rolling scum so many times in a row that they would not enter the thread how they did here as scum. But it's also the correct way to approach the thread as scum, mimicking the excitement they'd feel as town hypothetically.

9: Do not publicly accuse others of rule breaking/cheating. If you believe someone has broken one or more of these rules, message me directly.
10: You are responsible for following all forum and subforum rules and guidelines. Forum-wide rules are available here, and our subforum specific Mafia rules are in the Mafia Hosting Sign-Ups & Hosting Rules thread (spoilered here for convenience):
Players may participate in only three games at any given time. An exception to this rule can be made by moderators in need of a replacement for a game, if no other replacement can be found.
-Suicide-
If you no longer wish to participate in a game for any reason, contact the moderator. Do NOT attempt to force the moderator to modkill you.
-Current Game Discussion-
A player in an ongoing game may not discuss that game with any other player in that game, or in public forums. Also, it is a good idea to ask permission before discussing the game with anyone outside the game, because they can no longer replace into the game once any meaningful discussion takes place.
-Cryptoclaims-
Unless explicitly authorized by the game moderator in their opening rules section, cryptoclaims are forbidden.
-Out-of-game Promises-
Players may not use out-of-game promises (example: I swear on my grandmother's life, I bet you my entire collection of magic cards, etc.) in an effort to influence other players.
-Multiple Players On One Account-
"Hydra" accounts - multiple people playing and posting as one player with shared access to the "gimmick" account, are not allowed unless they have prior approval from the specific game Moderator. Please do not do this on your own.
-Traitor/Alignment Switching Roles-
Game moderators are strongly encouraged to be extraordinarily careful if they seek to include a traitor role in their designs. These roles are notorious for causing games to implode, for creating fairness concerns, and for the challenge they pose to the town's behavioral analysis. (See Discussion in Council Thread, Post 3351, onwards.)
Deadlines:
All day phases will have a deadline equal to 14 days, scaling down as the number of players in the game decreases. I strongly encourage you to plan on attempting to secure a lynch threshold 24 hours before the actual deadline. This is not a rule, but a measure you as players can take to prevent unwanted no lynches that often cause the game to stagnate.
Night phases will last for as close to 48 hours as I can manage, but the deadline for night actions will be 47 hours so I can open the thread promptly when Day begins.
I will post the deadline and approximate time remaining until the deadline at start of day and when I post official vote counts. I will PM players with unsubmitted night actions 24 hours before the action deadline as a reminder.
Lynching:
Players will be lynched once a simple majority of votes for that player is achieved (i.e. Majority lynch).
There will likely be some amount of time (twilight) between the final lynch vote and the lynch scene. Players may post during twilight.
If a majority lynch is not achieved by the deadline, no lynch will occur.
Order of Operations:
The short version is, stuff works the way you probably expect it to work. If you have a question about a specific interaction, PM me and I will explain in general terms how it would resolve.
Other Role Stuff:
Voting:
I will NOT be using Ecophagy’s vote counter to total your votes.
However, in the interest of site wide voting consistency, I ask that the following voting rules still be adhered to.
Creating vote counts will be trivial for me (and you!) with this tool, however it places some restrictions on the ways you can vote.
The current voting rules are:
You can generate your own vote counts by downloading the tool here. Note that the “nicknames” field is a comma delineated list that will work incorrectly if you use spaces after the commas.
Victory Conditions:
A faction (Town/Mafia) will win when all threats to their team are eliminated, or if nothing can prevent that from happening.

vote sir chris
Hey budddddy. How ya doooooing.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM.
Also, how the **** did you get that from just one post?
My turn to lynch him.
What are you?
Vote: Lastwisper
@Coballt, @1053nm: What's your mafia experience?
I will, as ModShadow is my witness, make every effort to keep this a positive game. If your plan is to be a jerkbutt, I recommend you change your plan or I WILL CHANGE IT FOR YOU. Don't make me meme.
Scum with inside information.
Vote Wisp
Hey ya'll I'm neutral that can with the town. I am the Iron Bank.
Basically I can offer up a JOAT of abilities to players and if they achieve their faction achievements I can consider the debt paid off. I need to achieve a few repayments in order to achieve my win condition.
I have abilities to offer up such as,
The Golden Company - Which gives a player a Vig shot that also can't be RoleBlocked.
I also have abilities such as,
Ledger of Titles - Which allows a player to recruit that player to their faction.
Overall I think that I can help the town win the game and will provide a full list of my abilities to the town so they can determine how to use them. I'm up for popular vote.
I have finals today so I'm going to be pretty busy, but this claim is about as serious as my vote on Wisp.
@Shinichi Your brother rolled scum lets end his misery.
Vaimes I saw what you said in the scum chat of the last game about the experience humbling me and let me assure you it will not.
Anyway I am campaigning for the Iron Throne because clearly I know how to lead as long as Killjoy doesn't shank me repeatedly without me getting to say a word.
##vote:Killjoy
Please die before you can hurt me more, bad man.
Also D_V claiming neutral is a ... bold move. I also vote we give me the vig shot. Basically give me all of the powers please so that I can murder scum before someone has bad ideas.
Also Tom if town please stop saying "I am the towniest as defense" ty love you.

Oh and yes there's no way D_V just told the complete truth there. But giving out powers like candy is fun.

think like scum. ****, it's been a WHILE since i have been town so i'd know that scum would never be so obvious about knowing everything.
I’m not gonna metagame shadow. I don’t keep track of games like that.

*Looks at above post*
Uh... Nevermind I guess, objection withdrawn. Apparently I thought Wisp was just commenting on Rodemy being a dork and jokingly clearing him for it but apparently he is very good at this game and can tell the difference between scum and town Rodemy.
Which may still be a town thing but I'll let you stab him a few times and see what sounds he makes.

Please share with the class some examples. i am curious to see if this is bull***** or not.
Oh he maaaaaad
Shhhh Rodemy, just accept it
I thought this was pretty obvious meme value.
God news is I just ran through 36 questions on evidentiary procedure and got 36 right so I'm pretty much the best.
Sorry Vaimes, I'm not a claimed neutral. But with this high of player count I would guess that there might be one.
Oh wait.
This was serious?
Well call me a liar then this vote might be for real.
booooooo
I see where you're coming from - scum!Rodemy would probably be sick of rolling scum so many times in a row that they would not enter the thread how they did here as scum. But it's also the correct way to approach the thread as scum, mimicking the excitement they'd feel as town hypothetically.
.... Or he's just excited to play Game of Thrones mafia?
