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.
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.

Nebuchadnezzar crew
Neo - Special Bulletproof - Trinity's lover after the Reload - Jester after the Reload.
Morpheus - Finder - he knows who 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

[Yellow]

Sounds like a good spoon I'm off to spoon soon but should be back in about 12 spoons.

[Path-Shaper]

What, do you want me to say it? Do you?! There is no spoon. There, I said it.

[Path-Shaper]

I made some last minute tweaks - the Neb crew can't reveal, not who they are, nor who Neo are. So no fast reveal fest.
Well, new feature is that the alts will be shuffled around at the Reload. If anyone has got any ideas how to do that efficiently, just shout.
Also, I have to allow Link to reveal, or the cf thing doesn't work.

[General King]

Lol here the crunch are the crowd classed as prt of the matrix ie the baddies or helpless innos. Cause if they accidently lynch neo day one and then get reloaded then they know who to lynch. They then lynch again and then win.

All it takes is the morpheos player to say agreed and they could win it lol but it a cool set up none the less.

[General King]

Oops a total reshuffle ignore me lol.

[Path-Shaper]

Ok final changes:
Jones/Brown get a shared kill instead of one each.

[General King]

so jones and brown are in communication together?

[Path-Shaper]

Yep. They are.

I can't reply to my role PM so here's a new thread.

Can you clarify some things for me?

• If Neo is killed or lynched before the Reload, does he not actually die? (That would explain your recent decision to shuffle the alts around)
• If Neo is killed or lynched after the Reload, all town (including the Nebuchadnezzar Crew) win? Meaning that Scum, to win, need to try to NOT kill Neo and simply gain a majority via the copying? Seems like that would really benefit town, having a few people who know Neo.

Neo doesn't die, no. All town win if Neo is hit a second time. Scum needs to kill of the Nebuchadnezzar crew, except Neo of course, to win.

oh so the cookies stick around until smith tries to copy them? I thought they were basically a heal rather than a BP

ok provisional cookie Ruse

Sir Osseric:

I got that scum role I asked for! Awesome. Now this is going to be pretty difficult, but I think if I manage to winnow the numbers down enough when the Reload happens, I might stand a chance. What I need are some cooperative Agents who will be willing to act lynchably - as soon as the reload happens they've got to jump in with an incredibly obvious Vote X on someone who isn't a Smith. Hopefully that will buy us a day post-reload and possibly out Trinity...

Anyway, I've got to survive and kill a few times to get to that point...let's get it started!

Kill Ampelas tonight.

Three people I've got to avoid killing, and one of those I've got to do my damnedest to prevent us from lynching...that last part is going to be HARD. And throwing myself into the firing line doesn't work, since sacrificing myself isn't an option. Might be a good idea for me to try and slow things down and get a no-lynch today. If we can swing that then we get two kills tonight and a voting block of 3 in a group of 10 is pretty strong...

Fun set-up Gem. Should make for interesting in-game dynamics.

[Path-Shaper]

Thanks. I hope so.

Mentghast and Sercief discussion-

Hey, grief here.

Omtoses little plan which is essentially revealing neo is stupid. Makes me suspicious because I don't think anyone could legitimately come out with a plan like that.

Mentghast

Quote

hey, ment herebelieve it or not, I legitimately thought Omtose was Neo. I forgot that I was scum for a minute.... let's call it a rough day, sigh.anyhow, for an NK, I suggest someone random, like Ampelas.or, we may want to try to find Smith. I think killing him before the Reload may be useful, since every single replication he makes increases the chances of hitting Neo.

Sercief

Quote

Yeah, my main thoughts about targets are that hitting smith before the reload would be good.

With several roled players though, we won't know which is him, but hitting any of the crew would be good aswell.

So, if we think someone is roled, going for them would be a good idea I reckon, unless we think he's neo or the oracle.

Choosing someone random could work, but I think we want to kill the roled people as a priority, since they#re the threat, and I don't think anyone will be able to find us through analysing kills on people that are looking roled.

I also thought Omtose could be Neo for a minute, trying to trigger an early reload, since he was talking about how an early reload was an advantage for the town. I'm not sure though, it seems a bit too obvious, so I think it's most likely an RI trying to defend neo.

no the way they will lynch, is if they think I'm Smith. That is how I'm playing it. I'm trying play as clean as a good scummy player can.

hmmm

no one's giving me roled vibes yet, except for Omtose, tbh

also, @ PS: i'll be going to work soon. I'll be checking with my phone, but my skin will be in lo-fi, so no PM/confirmations from me, esp since i've got footy practice after work.

as such, I am hereby approving any prov Grief might send in.
