Five-Sided Town Special FM - Signups are now OPEN!!!

[Fragos]

You all were waiting for it, aren't you? Now everything is ready! The sign-ups for Five-Sided Town game Mini-FM are finally opened!

Sign-up at your own risk - because this game will be an extreme challenge for your mind. Anyone can sign-up for Five-Sided Town, even if they are already participating in other games.
Keep in mind that FM XII is starting soon, and you might need to ask Capitalier's permission if you signed up for FM XII. Capitalier's FM is not anonymous, so you can sign up for Five-Sided Town as soon as you're done with FM XII.

In this setup, there will 5 teams. Five! And each team will have 3 members. Plus there will be 5 neutral "citizens" which goal will be either to survive or support the team that they have decided to favor.

Those 5 teams are: Police Department, Town Militia, The Outlaws, Mafia, and The Tycoons. With 5 teams, that make 15 players total, so the remaining 5 players will be neutral Citizens. Here is the list of factions:

Police Member
Police Member
Police Member

Militia Member
Militia Member
Militia Member

Outlaw Member
Outlaw Member
Outlaw Member

Mafia Member
Mafia Member
Mafia Member

Tycoon Member
Tycoon Member
Tycoon Member

Citizen (Favors Police)
Citizen (Favors Tycoons)
Citizen (Favors Mafia)
Citizen (Favors Outlaws)
Citizen (Favors Militia)

Note that when a citizen dies, his favor choice is not revealed on death. Therefore, it is easy for citizens to fake claim that they are helping a different faction.

The detailed role list can be found here:

https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showthread.php/6748-Five-Sided-Town-Mini-FM

The primary goal of each team is to defeat their corresponding enemies and then at least one member of the team must survive until the game ends. Here is how it looks:

The Police must lynch or kill all Outlaws and Mafia
The Militia must lynch or kill all Mafia and Tycoons
The Outlaws must lynch or kill all Tycoons and Police
The Mafia must lynch or kill all Police and Militia
The Tycoons must lynch or kill all Militia and Outlaws

It is possible to make alliances between some teams. No more than 2 teams can win the game (for example Police & Tycoons, or Militia & Outlaws). Another example is, that if you are on Mafia Team, you can choose to ally with Outlaws or Tycoons, but not both, since they are hostile to each other. Also, it is entirely possible for one single team to be the sole winner of the game. Winning for yourself is always better than sharing your victory with others.

Due to the way the teams are set up, the voting system is changed. It now becomes a simple majority (most votes). Whoever gets the most votes when day ends will be lynched. If two or more players are tied, then day ends with no lynch.

More importantly, the game will start on Night 0, when team members meet each other and discuss their game strategies, especially for Day 1.

On Day 1 the town will elect a new Mayor. That Mayor will have the power of 2 votes instead of one, and more importantly, he cannot be the target of night actions on the first night. He still can be targeted on any following nights.
If a Citizen becomes elected as Mayor, then he can no longer win just by surviving - he can win only by helping his favored faction to win. Also, Mayor cannot be recruited by Militia.


In addition to active players, I am also looking for few observers. It would be very nice if one of those observers can write good Rage comics.

lol so you are gonna have it now? Before forum mafia xii? Ok I was going to wait until after xii to host my game anyways.

the mods might not allow you to make this a "special fm" though

Will this conflict with FMXII?

[clementine]

I'm not playing FM XII, so I'm fine if it does conflict. (just FYI)

[Kromos]

/sign if you think you can finish it before FM 12 and McPwnage is ok with not having a vote.

When do you plan on starting it?

[Fragos]

When do I start? The answer is simple. When everyone signes up

I'm looking forward to another of your innovative FMs, Fragos.

sure, ill try it out

[Luna]

Fragos I am unclear why you felt the need to try and invent a new type of forum mafia game when this was cleared as an M-FM, and falls under the purview of M-FM. You've already managed to avoid going through a vote, please don't declare that your game is special and doesn't follow the same procedure as M-FM (otherwise I may believe you, and unfortunately I would be forced to delete this thread because it is off-topic to this forum).

I thought that we'd already had a little talk after the complaints you received?

[Fragos]

I already told you before that this is an experimental setup and people may sign up at thier own risk. Those 9 people accepted those risks and willingly signed up. Even Kromos signed up before he learned that FM XII is going to start soon. Are you going to dissapoint then now?

What you will suggest, Luna? I'm listening.

[Luna]

What am I going to suggest Fragos? Maybe that you stop trying to escalate things unnecessarily?

[Fragos]

Please, Luna I promise that this will be a great game!

Can you come up with solution that will satisfy us both?

[Luna]

Your game is safe Fragos, naturally, I'm just disappointed that you continue to show a lack of patience and respect to your peers. I'd prefer to continue this in private.

[Fragos]

Don't worry guys, I have talked to Luna already, so you can sign up without any worries.

Keep in mind that FM XII is starting soon, so our game might not start as early as I previosly intended. You can, however, sign up after you die or leave FM XII - as that game will not be anonymous.

[Ubernox]

And I thought that the FM XII sign-up thread was a troll.

[McJesus]

Fragos you realize I had plans to start my approved setup after fmxii? I didn't take any objections to this one because you made it sound like you were starting it right now. That being said we might not even all get into fmxii since jack made it clear there are too many signups for the number of people so who knows.

Maybe you could try to negotiate with the hosts of fmxii if you put your game on a reverse day/night cycle with the main fm and that might allow people to participate in both of them at once.

sounds like a gret idea for a game /sign

Who needs a dead chat? ;)

[Fragos]

Well that makes 10 sign-ups for now. If observers were more brave, then that would be 16 sign-ups. Anyway, there is a plenty of time. More will probably sign up when Kromons's Mini-FM ends.

Expect more sign-ups to appear at weekend. Most of people are busy with FM XII, or are still playing Kromos's Mini-FM (like me).

I expect it to be a massive lurkfest (and I don't like lurkers - at all). Gimme a killing neutral and I'll clean up. xP
But I'm ready to get myself proven wrong.

What! Why do you suspect that?

I see maybe...three? names on that list that might lurk hardcore. And with all the night chats, I expect people to actually be more active in this game.

Not lurking because they're not playing the game, I suspect, but lurking because there's little incentive for anyone to tell the truth in day chat. This is essentially 5 mafia teams against each other and the hallmark trait of the mafia is being unhelpful in chat ^^

Which means the game should be lulz, because there'll be little serious analysis.

If I am on a team with killing roles, I will personally see to it that we kill lurkers first. :]
Anyone want to sign on board with this, too?

[Fragos]

The first day won't be a lurkfest because players will elect a mayor on that day. On Day 2 the town will be probably busy finding out the mayor's alignment.

Ideally one team member usualy stays in the open (revealing his alignment to everyone) while his teammates watch the behavior of others from behind. The primary discussion chat will be in night chat, at least for the first few nights. When most of the roles become known, players will seek possible alliances in order to survive until the endgame and the lurkers will come out of shadows in order not to be lynched or killed.

I also wanted to include The Mastermind in the first game so that all 5 factions would have a common foe to seach for. Without that common foe the town will fall into chaos unless someone takes the role of "town leader", which is the reason I have included an elected Mayor in the game.
