Mafia 57: Matrix Reloaded
This is a classic town vs. scum game with a twist. The game has two phases - before and after the Reload - and of course it all has to do with Neo. Neo cannot reveal under any circumstances - although I don't know why he would want to. Regular mafia rules apply unless otherwise stated.

I reserve the right to change rules of the game if needed - these changes will be clearly stated on thread if that happens ( I don't expect it will be needed though).

Day is 36 hours - Night is 12 hours. Can be extended if needed. We will also have weekend break if needed.

Coroner Finder is in-game - read below. CF information contains full role name.

For clarification:
Neo is not allowed to reveal under any circumstances. This includes any subtle or not so subtle hints on who he is.
Member of Town are not allowed to reveal on Thread who Neo is, if they know it. They can pretend to speculate, but that is all.
If Neo or a knowledgeable townie reveals who Neo is, Innos lose automatically.
Morpheus and Trinity are not allowed to reveal on thread - you will have to try to lynch Neo without claiming seniority.
In this Game self votes will not count.

TOWN
Crowd - random people inside the matrix.
Oracle - cookie maker; she can give any player a cookie that makes them immune to copying for 1 night. Agents not Smith cannot become a Smith copy that night which means Agent Smith fails copying himself that night. Neo also become immune to Smith from these cookies. Cookies are BP's, but they don't stack.

Nebuchadnezzar crew
Neo - Special Bulletproof - Trinity's lover after the Reload - Jester after the Reload.
Morpheus - Finder - he knows who some of his crew are.
Trinity - Copying Bulletproof: hacks an anti-virus into her programming, temporarily stopping Agent Smith from being able to make her into a copy - Neo's lover after the Reload.
Link the Operator - Coroner Finder - receives information about who was killed/lynched and can choose to share this information on thread.

SCUM
Agents
Agent Smith - killer
Agent Jones - killer partner with Brown
Agent Brown - killer partner with Jones

The Reload
When Neo has been hit by Agent Smith or is lynched the Matrix is Reloaded. The 4th day of the game the matrix is Reloaded even if Neo hasn't been hit in game - it happens in a scene instead, at night the 4th day.

Agent Smith code is changed - now he copies himself into other players, making them Agent Smith also - this means he is no longer a killer. He can also copies himself into other agents, making them all Agent Smith. All Agent smiths can talk to each other off thread.

After the Reload Neo and Trinity are lovers and can talk to each other off thread at all times.
Neo becomes a Jester after the reload - if he is lynched or hit by Agent Smith, Innos win automatically.

After the Reload The Oracle gives Neo one single cookie that makes him immune to Smith. It takes effect the same night the Reload happens, no matter what target the oracle otherwise chose, she will only give one cookie to Neo at the night of the Reload.

Agents Brown and Jones retains their kill ability - but if they are turned into Smith, they lose the kill ability.


Reload Alt Shuffle
At the Reload the alts will be shuffled - all players will be assigned another random alt.
Morpheus will be told about the new alt of Link.

Please note:
If you are allowed to talk off thread with someone else, Path-Shaper will create a pm thread for you.
Programming is retained even after becoming Agent Smith.

Win Conditions:
Town win when all Agents, Smiths or otherwise, are dead or Neo has been hit by (a copy of) Agent Smith.
Scum win when all Nebuchadnezzar crew members except Neo are dead or have become Smith.

Action Resolution order
Kill actions are always last, that's all really.

Current programming: The One; 1 Special Bulletproof

Office inside The Matrix
Agent Smith: Never send a human to do a machine's job.
Agent Brown: If indeed the insider has failed, they'll sever the connection as soon as possible, unless...
Agent Jones: They're dead, in either case...

Rooftop
Trinity: How did you do that?
Neo: Do what?
Trinity: You moved like they do. I've never seen anyone move that fast.
Neo: Wasn't fast enough.
...
Morpheus: Do you believe it now, Trinity?
Neo: Morpheus. The Oracle, she told me I'm...
Morpheus: She told you exactly what you needed to hear, that's all. Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
...
Link: Operator.
Morpheus: Link.
Link: God-damn. It's good to hear your voice, sir.
Morpheus: Need an exit.
Link: Got one ready. Subway station, State and Balboa.

Rooftop a couple of minutes later
Agent Smith: Damn it.
Agent Brown: The trace was completed.
Agent Jones: We have their position.
Agent Brown: The sentinels are standing by.
Agent Jones: Order the strike.
Agent Smith: They're not out yet...

[Ruse]

third!!!!!!

[Tulas Shorn]

And then Tulas Shorn comes in the NNNIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHHHTTTTT!!!

Also I'm not sure what kinf od fail that was there RUse, but it was pretty spectacular.

[Ruse]

just having a bit of fun at all the people who always post "first".

[Path-Shaper]

You guys might wanna read the OP again, there are some minor tweaks done.

[Tulas Shorn]

Would have been awesome if you managed to be third, but I dunno how you could have proved it

Anyway, who's the third anonymous user? After the uberslowness of the last couple of games any lurkers should be punished.

Agreed!

vote anonymous #3

[Tulas Shorn]

I think I scared him away

The player shuffling really mixes things up, else it would simply have been Neo lynched, innos win, Neo NK'd scum wins.

[D'riss]

Hello.


Vote Tulas Shorn


for making it look like he wants to vote night. Or kill in the night. Or something like that.

And, I AM THE REAL THIRD! (alt to post that is)

[D'riss]

Remove vote

Because I realized that it's a Trogdor reference.


THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!

[D'riss]

Where'd evrahbohdy go?

[Tulas Shorn]

Consumate V's, I said consumate! You wouldnt know majesty if it bit you in the face.

Anyway, gonna be away for a couple of hours. Let there be posts!

[Barghast]

so... after the reload, scum gets a recruiter (smith) as well as keeping the two killers?

seems just slightly overpowered, imo

[Gamelon]

Posts

[Gamelon]

except for the fact that if they hit neo then innos win. Also from the way i read the OP it looks like after the reload all of the agents become Smith, so they dont keept the other killers as well.

[Ruse]

I think if there is that much killing this could be a very quick game.

[Path-Shaper]

You might wanna read the OP again, I clarified a few things.

Agent Smith code is changed - now he copies himself into other players, making them Agent Smith also - this means he is no longer a killer. He can also copies himself into other agents, making them all Agent Smith. All Agent smiths can talk to each other off thread.

This bit is a bit unclear. Does it mean that he can copy himself into the agents and turn them into Smith, or that he copies himself into them automatically and they are all now Smith?
