Chronicles of the Onyx Arcade Mafia


A pleasant day to you! I am Myrmidon Divergent, one of your dynamic hosts, and I thank you for opening this thread. To the people who’ve played mafia here, it has been nearly six months since we’ve started this continuous flow of mafia games. 


We’ve been challenged at times – searching for answers in worlds where clues may be hard to find. We’ve been through different kinds of experiences, and we’ve been through both happy and sad times, not only in the mafia games we played in, but also in the interactions we had. 


I’m grateful to be a part of the community we’ve built together, and in commemoration of nearly 6 months together and the end of the 1st Season of Mafia, I’ll be hosting the Chronicles of the Onyx Arcade Mafia – a game where a new level of mafia is shown.


Obviously, all players who may or may not have played before are welcome here. If you’re inexperienced, don’t worry – you may ask me via PM or Discord or visit the Reborn Mafia Discord Chat at https://discord.gg/qNfjbar for tips and entertaining discussion.


I. WHAT IS MAFIA AND HOW IS IT PLAYED? [AN OVERVIEW]

 

Mafia is a social deduction game which requires analyzing, cooperation, and looking through lies. There are two main factions in a mafia game: the Uninformed Majority [Town], who have to find others of their kind while hunting for the mafia, and the Informed Minority [Mafia], who have a private chat and plan there on how they should trick the town and whom they should kill. There may also be Third Party or Independent roles, which have different agendas and win conditions.

 


At the beginning of the game, players receive a PM or a DM (in some cases) with their role and alignment.

There are two major phases in a Mafia game:

(1) The Day Phase – Typically lasting 48 hours, players use this opportunity to discuss about several things, which may include the outcome of the previous phases, behavior of players, and flow of the game; the ultimate goal in the day phase is for the Town players to find the Mafia slowly while Mafia players have to blend in carefully. Before the day ends, players must vote for a player whom they want to be eliminated on grounds of suspicion and the player receiving the most votes will be eliminated.

(2) The Night Phase – Typically lasting 24 hours, the thread is considered “locked” at this point and players may not comment at all. Instead, players with night actions, special abilities related to their role, may use these to aid their faction. The Mafia also discusses in the private chat on whom to dispose of.

The game continues until one of the major factions attains their win condition or unless it is no longer possible.

What makes this different from a normal game of Mafia?

(1) This is a semi-closed setup – roles to be used are unspecified (although there is a list of potential roles).

(2) Players may have the liberty to choose the character they want to play as; though, they may also let RNG decide. (read the section on roles to find out how this works)

(3) Roles and alignment will be revealed when someone dies, along with the official Role PM.

 


II. OPENING NARRATIVE

 

[The narrative is a work of fiction – none of the characters, events, and other related inputs are in any way canon to the plot of Pokemon Reborn]

 


It’s the 21st Century – an age of technology, advancement, and progress!

In the Reborn Region, peace was challenged again and again by the enormous threat of Team Meteor, which continued to ravage the land. But all was settled after a band of heroes from a distant land came and changed the region entirely.

75 years passed after the restoration began and the region became unlike no other in the world of Pokemon.

Reborn City, which had once been an apocalyptic site, had been restored to a great metropolis, rivalling large cities like Lumiose and Castelia. Peace and Order – values the city have always wanted to have, have been attained, but as history had always shown, good things never last for a long time.

Mysterious disappearances have occurred in the city. Suspicious people have been seen roaming the empty streets at night. Secret deals were made in the darkness of the side alley. A strange omen was arising – and it wasn’t just coming from one source.

Several innocents have noted that Team Valiant, an underground organization, have been responsible for some of the recent disappearances and suspicious movement in the city. They say the organization is led by a man, whose intentions are unclear...?

Some reliable sources have also stated that the Lumina Association, one of the powerful humanitarian aid organizations, is making moves and secret deals somewhere. Who knows what they’re up to?

Despite these shady businesses, the Keepers of the Onyx Arcade, a vigilante group of concerned citizens, have started organizing their forces in the hopes of preserving the peace in the city.

What will happen to Reborn City in the end? Play and find out!

 


III. FACTIONS

 

Keepers of the Onyx Arcade– They are the Uninformed Minority or the Town. They find meaning in looking for the scum in society and aim to build trust among them. Their goal is to eliminate all threats to the town.

 


Team Valiant – The first of the Mafia factions, headed by a man – their plan is to blend in with the town, ready to betray in time. They have a factional kill every night. Their goal is to equal or outnumber all other players combined.

Lumina Association – The second of the Mafia factions, headed by a woman – their plan is to build the trust of the town, while bearing hidden malicious intent. They have a factional kill every night. Their goal is to equal or outnumber all other players combined.

Third Party – They are mysterious people, who work independently to achieve certain specific goals.

 


IV. ROLES

 

This game, like the introduction had told you, is a semi-closed setup, signifying that roles will not be explicitly given, but instead, you, as players, will have to find out what each character can do from the hint word (from the Role PM) that will be given.

 


Also, like Pokemon: Choose your Own Character Mafia, you can choose the character you play as by PMing me your choice or you can PM me with “random” if you want RNG to decide. Due to likely overlaps, you must PM me with 5 choices in order of preference to avoid such.

Example PM: (1) Divergent, (2) Megagun, (3) Alistair… and so on

Do not share your choices with anyone. Your chosen character will reflect your role – choose wisely!

V. RULES

 

(1) The Reborn Forum rules apply here.

 


(2) All Player Discussion must be kept in the thread; mandated special private chats may also be utilized. Other forms of contact outside of these such as Private Chats without the Host’s permission, IRL contact, and other methods are not allowed.

(3) Day Phase lasts for 48 hours. Players must make at least 2 posts and vote per day phase. Failure to meet this requirement for two day phases (even non consecutive) will result in replacement or mod intervention.

(4) Voting is done in the format: [Eliminate] Player Name or in similar formats. Changing of votes may be done in this format: [Unvote] Player Name. All votes must be placed in bold or they are not counted. In the case of a tie in votes, a no lynch will ensue.

(5) Night Phase lasts for 24 hours. Players are not allowed to comment in the thread. Violation of this rule will result in warning (1st offence) and disqualification (2nd offence).

(6) Sharing of Role PMs – through screenshots, verbatim copying, or other forms – to other players is illegal. Consequences will be given to violators.

(7) If you are eliminated in any way, you may have a final post, that will not reflect critical game information such as night actions and the like.

(8) Actions – day or night – should be sent to me via PM (Forums) or DM (Discord).

(9) Editing of posts is discouraged. If you have minor corrections, you may do so, but if you wish to have additions, you must make a new post or quote your previous post if you wish to highlight the addition.

(10) Respect the host and other players! Have fun!

I'm game for playing some meta-Mafia. Fair warning that I may not be as active on weekends as weekdays, since I'm doing Redemption. Should still be safely within the post requirement, but just in case.

 

For reference though, can I just DM you my wanted roles? It's noted as being OK for the role actions, but not for submitting, and I'm just wanting to be sure.
