Kittens Game: Combinatorics Mafia
Hosted by @May, cohosted by @Garfooled, reviewed by @Luka (with @Zone_Q11 supervising).
Combinatorics Mafia was designed by Nintor of Nintendo Loop.
All of my kittens in Kittens Game will live forever, and they will never starve to death due to my carelessness. To reflect this, I will be hosting a mafia game in which nobody dies.
In this mafia variant, there are no deaths or eliminations. Instead, both factions face a symmetrical combinatoric challenge. The town, the uninformed majority, must locate the mafia, and the mafia must avoid this and locate a group of masons.
-
During the day phase, players vote on who to send to jail for the night. At the end of the day, the three players with the most votes will be sent to jail, and a public announcement will reveal how many of them are mafia.
-
During the night phase, the mafia may select three players to beam. At the end of the night, a public announcement will reveal how many beamed players were masons (but not who was beamed).
-
If all three mafia players are sent to jail at once, town will win. If all three masons are beamed at once, the town will have one last day phase to identify the mafia. If they fail, the mafia will win.
Rules
-
Follow the Forum Game Rules. (This includes: no excessive AtE, no personal attacks, no angleshooting, et cetera.)
-
You must meet the minimum of 10 posts every day phase or be replaced.
-
Due to the nature of this game, some players may become unkillable outed evils. Attempts to disrupt game conversation via spam are against the rules.
Mechanics
Standard Mechanics
-
Day phases will last 48 hours, night phases will last 24 hours. Night actions will lock one hour before the end of the phase.
-
The mafia and the masons may both communicate privately on Discord at all times.
-
Flavour is not alignment indicative. Your kitten’s stats and profession are purely flavour, and not game-relevant.
Special Mechanics
-
During the day, everybody votes on three players to send to jail for the night. At the end of the day, it will be revealed how many of these three players were mafia.
-
Each player may vote for up to three different players. Players may also vote for “no prisoner” up to three times; if an instance of “no prisoner” is in the top three votes, no player will be sent to jail in that spot. There is no hammer.
-
Ties will be resolved randomly within the tie.
-
During the night, the mafia select three players to beam. At the end of the night, a public announcement will reveal how many beamed players were masons (but not who was beamed).
