The Witness: The witness is one of the last people who knows what really happened on Tarsonis and has proof. He wishes for a simple quiet life but has been caught up in Mengsk's manhunt of the Raiders. As long as the witness is alive and not recruited he wins with the town. If he is killed by the mafia, Nova's DAY shot or lynched the witness will LOSE and the secret will be revealed.

NO REP MESSAGES OR QUOTING REP MESSAGES! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WARNED, MODKILLS MAY BE HANDED OUT

Questions asked via day 1, pm's and mafia chat:

Q: Can the vigilante shoot night one?

A: no vigilante shooting starts night 2, also vigilante cannot be witched into shooting night 1

Q: Can the journalist be recruited to the mafia?

A: yes

Q: Does the witness have to be alive to win with the mafia?

A: if he is recruited no

Q: What happens to secret when witness is executed by jailor?

A: The secret is buried unless the witness is recruited the same night. If the mafia kills the witness the same night the secret is still burried because the jailor provides night immunity.

Q: What actions do the bodyguard prevent?

A: The bodyguard prevents sheriff and cosig investigation, detective tracking, lookout following, mafia recruiting, devil dog doucing, medic healing, escort and consort roleblocking, drug dealer drugging, blackmailer blackmailing, and framer framing.

the bodyguard kill ability will be triggered upon vigilante killing, jailor killing and mafia killing.

the bodyguard does not prevent bus driving and witching

Q: Does the Devil Dog burning during the day take up a night action

A: no

Q: Can Nova shoot on day 1? Does this reveal their role to everyone?

A: Nova cannot day shoot until day 2. Day shots will reveal who died, however their role will not be posted until the night. Nova will not revealed to everyone.

Q: Personally I think Mengsk is just too awesome to be switched with someone with dropship. Am I right, McPwnage?

A: nope, Mengsk can be bus driven. I debated this when I was balancing out the game but concluded it would add a level of stragety and WIFOM if the mafia targeted Mengsk and got the bus drivers target.

Q: Are you allowed to quote private messages sent to you by the host of the game?

A: NO

Q: If the vigi shoots the witness the same night he is recruited, will he still be recruited?

A: Yes

Q: What is the day/night length?

A: Day 1 is 24 hours or until everyone posts, when the members are 11 or greater the day is 48 hours, when the members are 10 or less the members the day will be 24 hours long. Night is always 24 hours.

Q: Is this forum mafia VI part 2?

A: No god damn it, FMVI was an experiment that had some good new mechanics and a lot of broken ones. I incorporated some of the things that worked into the game but it is ultimately very different and will play out very differently (better).

Q: Does detective show both actions of the godfather.

A: yes detective will show both people the godfather and bus driver target.

Q: Is the godfather the only one who can kill right? So what happens if he die? Does the Mafia lose all ability to kill

A: If the mafia die than mafia has to sacrifice either the investigating or the witching to perform a kill assuming you don't have any recruits. When the mafia gets their first minion you can choose if they want to do the killings yourself or send them to do the killings.

Q: Do people receive notifications if they are doused by the arsonist?

A: no

I think that covers everything, if you still have questions pm me.

Role list edited due to the fact I'm an idiot and hosted the jail chat on the same forumcow.com board. The mafia have pointed out the problem with this and since they know there is a jailor and I named the third mafia Gabriele Tosh I might as well confirm the jailor/witch. Yeah I fucked up but at least I didn't miss a heal.

Don't worry, the blues don't really need any hidden roles to begin with.

[McJesus]

Day was delayed due to the fact people were late submitting night actions, I scrambled around trying to replace them and then decided I was getting too stressed out over a game of mini forum mafia, went to bed and said I would deal with it in the morning.

[kiranearitachi]

o so it should start sometime today then? (im just bored and need something to do lol)

[Luna]

If someone forgets to submit a night action then it's just skipped ^^ I call this M-FMIII Ubernox syndrome
