MFM XVIII Poll

[BorkBot]

The time has come to vote for the next MFM! There's quite a bit of competition this time around and therefore you will be given ample time to consider your votes. The poll will probably close somewhere towards the end of the currently ongoing main event of the site, FM 18.

The candidates for this round are as follows:

Setup 1: COMMUNITY (20p)

Host: Clementine & Gerik
https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showth...M-FM-COMMUNITY

Overview: Greendale Community College has never been so warm and welcoming. Literally. The air conditioning repair school has all but closed with the departure of Troy Barnes, the death of Robert Laybourne in a “freon line rupture”, and the arrest of Murray in Season 3. But something seems to be amiss. Rumors of Laybourne and Murray’s return and desire to recruit Troy back into their ranks have surfaced. How is this even possible!!?!

Special note: A fairly normal game with a couple of less than regular roles. One of the townsfolk might just be invited to join the mafia at some point, but they do not know if they are the one.

Setup 2: The Curse of Castle Varen (20p)

Host: Cryptonic
https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showth...f-Castle-Varen

Overview: Located on a lonely island stands the once majestic Castle Varen. The now decrepit Castle and untame landscape is a desired location for Historians and Thrill Seekers alike. With 42 deaths and 167 disappearances in the past 116 years, Castle Varen has built quite the reputation for itself: It's cursed. Everyone believes that the curse started after the disappearance of Lady Varen. Rumor has it that she's vanished from the island hours after having her portrait painted; some say that she was murdered by her Husband, her soul cursing the Island and the Portrait. Others, however, tell a story of how the Varen family is a Cult, converting and murderering their visitors.
Whatever the case may be, the descendants of Lady and Lord Varen held a contest, giving 17 winners an invitation to spend a night at the Castle.

Special note: Also a relatively normal setup with a couple of less than regular possible roles. There are 2 town investigative roles who know eachother's identities (but not roles) and a wide variety of possible neutral roles to spice things up, and a lot of thought seems to have gone into the story and theme.

Setup 3: Mass Killing (20p)

Host: powerofdeath
https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showth...M-MASS-KILLING

Overview: Everyone is out to murder each other! The serial killers want the world to themselves, the terrorists are suicide bombers who want to watch the world burn, a sneaky jester wants to get lynched and blow up half the town and a small group of survivors just wants to live through it all. Never before has there been a game as chaotic as this. Not for the faint of heart!

Special note: The 3 survivors have a night chat and so do the 3 terrorists. This game is an extreme deviation from the standards and could be over very quickly with so many deaths, but it's still very simple by design and easy to understand. This one clearly isn't as much about solving the puzzle in day chat as it is about night action planning, though.

Setup 4: Gates to Infinity (20p)

Host: Fragos
https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showth...es-to-Infinity

Overview: Another incarnation of the five-sided town game. Changes were made to make it so the town has to rely on one of the other factions in order to win. So it should be a closer game this time around. The enforcers can investigate and kill, the tricksters can redirect and deceive, the outlaws can kill and stop others in their tracks, the rebels can convert town players to join their cause and the town is all about protection and communication.

Special note: In five sided town games, each faction can win with 2 other factions. However, it's only possible for 2 factions to win at most, because your allies can never win together.
