[FONT=&quot]Gotham is a mafia variant with characters ripped directly from the world of DC comics, Batman in particular. Knowledge of Batman is recommended, but not a requirement.

In Gotham, there are five factions. They are:

Gotham: The town equivalent. 20 players.

Bane’s Crew: A mafia faction equivalent. 4 players.

Penguin’s Mob: A mafia faction equivalent. 4 players.

The Red Hood: The Serial Killer equivalent. 1 player. See the Red Hood information for more.

The Riddler: The Balancer equivalent. 1 player. See the Riddler information for more.

Signups:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]This game was designed for 30 players (20+4+4+1+1), and signups will last until all slots are filled. I retain the right to refuse sign ups if I believe you will negatively affect the playing experience or if I believe you incapable of an appropriate level of activity.

[FONT=&quot]Etiquette[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
I ripped this straight from Lutris' Hunt of Thrones because I can't say it better myself:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Quote:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]• Do not lie about real-life commitments. If you are unable to play for a prolonged period of time or do not wish to continue playing, inform the game host.
• Similarly, if someone says that they will not be available due to real-life constraints accept.
• For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a role-playing game. Don't overdo it.
• Keep non-game-related topics to a minimum in the thread.
• If you are unable to be active, you will be replaced. Inform the game host if you are.
• Be nice! We're all playing to have fun. Disparage someone's skill if you must, but please avoid personal insults! [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Addendum: This is primarily a game of analysis. Removing the capability of players to perform analysis goes against the spirit of the game. Encoded messages, subtle references that only certain players would get or offsite references are frowned upon. Keep it fun for everyone.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Phases[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Day 1 lasts for 2 weeks. Each following Day lasting one week. If there’s an early lynch, we head to twilight, where players (with the exception of the lynchee) can still post until the ending scene is posted. When the ending scene is posted further posting is not permitted. Violators of this will be dealt with harshly. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Night lasts for 24 hours or until all night actions are in. NOTE: With the Batman role, expect 24 hour nights.

Voting[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]There is only one type of voting in Gotham: Standard.

To vote, type Vote: Player, separate noticeable colors would be appreciated.

All votes not in proper format will be ignored. Votes can be retracted at any time before a majority is reached, but not after. Majority is lynch and the player is committed to Arkham, regardless of protection. There is no soft Lynch.

Assaults

Assaults are Gotham's version of Night Kills. Both Penguin's mob and Bane's crew get one per night, target decided by majority vote in their respective group QTs. An Assaulted player who is not protected is committed to Arkham's medical wing and are removed from the game.

Dead Players

You are committed to Arkham Asylum and have no future impact on the game. When someone is committed, their role is revealed to the town. Dead/observer chat will be provided.

Activity[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]There are no hard posting requirements, some people post in spurts, real life happens, etc. At the mod’s discretion you may be poked for activity. If the poke is not responded to, you will be poked again. If this is not responded to you will be replaced or, if none are available, Modkilled at the end of the current Phase. Modkills do not prevent other abilities from being activated. Modkills do not take the place of Lynches or anything similar. Modkills will be easily differentiated from player kills.


Protection[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
When someone has protection (Either by Oracle's power or their own), they are immune to committals unless the attempt specifically ignores protection.

Bane’s Crew and Penguin’s Mob[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
The two mafia factions in Gotham do not have a set roster at the beginning. Instead, the mobs are set by schoolyard pick, with Penguin having first choice. The player who draws Penguin will post their first role pick in their QT. I will inform Bane who Penguin chooses and Bane will make his first pick, and so on, until both mobs are 4 strong.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The Roles[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]Gotham[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
Gotham is the town faction for this game. Gotham players do not know each other's role, and do not share Quick Topics (there are a few notable exceptions). The players of Gotham win by lynching or otherwise eliminating all members of Bane's Crew, Penguin's Mob, The Red Hood, and The Riddler.[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]
Batman
-Gains a special QT account for anonymity.
-Every night that there is a mislynch or a non-lynch, Batman can Interrogate one person.
-That person is both roleblocked and protected from any actions. All actions, including the Riddler and those that normally penetrate protection, will fail.
-A new QT will open between Batman and the target. Conversation can occur there over the course of the Night.
-Twice Per Game, Batman can commit his target to Arkham, removing them from the game. -After he has used all of his committals, he may still interrogate people.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Robin[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
-Knows Batman’s identity.
-If Batman is committed, Robin gains access to all of his interrogation logs.

Nightwing
-Can investigate one player every night and discover who, if anyone, targeted that player that night.

Red Robin
-Can investigate one player every night and discover who, if anyone, was targeted by that player that night.

Huntress
-Three times per game, Huntress can choose a target at night. That target is committed. The target’s role is NOT revealed but it will be revealed that this was a Huntress kill.

Oracle
-Every night, can choose a target. That target gains protection that Night and the following Day cycle. This protects from the Riddler.

Black Canary
-Every night, can choose a player. Anyone who targets that player that night with a non-violent action receives no information. If that player is targeted with a violent action, both Black Canary and the attacking player are committed while the defended target remains unharmed.

Green Arrow
-Every night, can choose a player. That player is roleblocked.

Commissioner Gordon
-If committed during the daytime, there can be no committals that night.

Booster Gold
-Can choose two players at night. Any actions that would target one of those players target the other instead, and vice versa. Can target himself.

The Question
-Can investigate one player every night and discover if they are innocent or a villain.

Deadman
-Three times per game, Deadman can choose a committed or Devoured player. He learns that players role and also all of their night actions. Depending on the role chosen additional info may be revealed. These roles will be detailed in QT.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Martian Manhunter[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
-At any point in the game, the Martian Manhunter can reveal himself. Once revealed, his vote counts for three votes for the rest of the game. This does not change the required majority for Lynch. A revealed Martian Manhunter is immune to the Riddler. This immunity is lost once 5 or less players remain in the game.

GCPD Officers
-Knows who the other GCPD Officers are.
-Can communicate with the other GCPD Officers via a QT during Day AND Night.
-Every Three Nights, starting Night 1, can conduct a Stakeout on a target of their choice. If there are three GCPD Officers left, they learn who their target targeted, was targeted by, and if they are innocent or a villain. If there are two Officers left, they learn who their target targeted and was targeted by. If there is one officer left, he picks what to learn, who their target targeted or was targeted by.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]-At the beginning of the game a GCPD Officer will be randomly rolled by the Mod to be [FONT=&quot]Immune to the Riddler. This roll will be re[FONT=&quot]rolled at the start of ea[FONT=&quot]ch Da[FONT=&quot]y.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Catwoman[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
-Can lock in a Mark. If committed during the day, Catwoman and the Mark are both committed. The Mark can be changed at any time before Catwoman is committed.

Batgirl
-Twice per game, on odd numbered days (3, 5, etc.), Batgirl can check to see how many villains (Both Mobs, Riddler, and Red Hood are counted as villains) voted to commit the previous day's victim.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Azareal[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
-Azareal has protection at night that lasts until all members of one faction are wiped out or only three villains remain (this includes the Red Hood BUT NOT the Riddler).

Etrigan
-Etrigan survives the first attempt on his life. This includes the Riddler and Bane.


[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Vill[/FONT][FONT=&quot]ains[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
The two mafia factions in this game. At the beginning of the game, the Villains are divided into two factions, Bane's Crew and Penguin's Mob. Both groups have the same win conditions: committing all of Gotham, all of other villain faction, the Red Hood and the Riddler.[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]
Bane
-During the Night, Bane picks a target. If that target is still free when Day begins, they get a message that Bane is stalking them.
-The next night, that target is roleblocked.
-The night after that, the target is roleblocked and that target is hit with an assault attempt that penetrates protection.
-Bane may not switch targets midway through the process. Once he picks a target, he is locked onto that player until they are committed. If the target is committed in the middle of this Bane may choose a new Target the following Night.
-Bane chooses who to send to perform the faction’s assault.
-If there is a tie in voting, Bane’s vote is the decider.

Penguin
- If the Penguin is investigated, he comes up innocent.
-Penguin always has protection.
-Penguin chooses who to send to perform that night’s assault.
-If there is a tie in voting, Penguin’s vote is the decider.

Hush
-Can investigate one player every night and discover if they are innocent or a villain. Use this to hunt Red Hood, Riddler, and the opposing mafia.

Killer Croc
-Three times per game, Killer Croc can choose to Devour a player his faction targeted that night. That player’s role is not revealed during the day (though Killer Croc does learn the role)

Poison Ivy
-Every night, can choose a player. That player is roleblocked.

Two Face
-At any time during the day before a majority is reached, Two Face may voluntarily commit himself to determine who gets committed that day.

Clayface
-Three times per game, Clayface can choose a role that has already been committed. He gains that role’s ability for that night. Roles that can’t be chosen are Batman, Robin, the GCPD Officers, and Commissioner Gordon.

Scarecrow
-Every night, Scarecrow picks two players and learns everything that those two players learned over the night. He does not know what information came from what player and he can’t pick either player again for the rest of the game.



[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The Red Hood[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
The Serial Killer of this game. The Red Hood does not know anyone else's role and cannot share QTs with anyone. To win, the Red Hood must commit all of Gotham and all of the villains (both Bane's Crew and Penguin's Mob). If two live players remain the Red Hood may win along with the Riddler. The Red Hood automatically wins all other 1v1 matchups.[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]
The Red Hood
-Each Night, the Red Hood may make an assault attempt. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]-If assaulting the Riddler the Red Hood instead learns his Identity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]-The Red Hood is immune to the Riddler’s guesses.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]-Each Night, the Red Hood may choose to be immune to Investigations or Tracking. He may only choose one each Night. There are no limits to how many times he can choose either option.
-In exchange for being publicly revealed the Red Hood can make one protection piercing Day kill.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]
The Riddler[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
The Balancer of this game. The Riddler does not know anyone else's role and cannot share QTs with anyone. To win, the Riddler must commit all of Gotham and all of the villains (both Bane's Crew and Penguin's Mob). If two live players remain the Riddler may win along with the Red Hood. The Riddler automatically wins all other 1v1 matchups.[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]
The Riddler
-At any point in the Game the Riddler may match a Player to a Role. If correct that player is committed, this does not pierce protection and the Riddler may guess again. If incorrect the Riddler may not make any more guesses during that Phase. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]-If the Riddler Guesses correctly on a role that has some form of Protection (Oracle/Immunity/etc.) that guess is still considered correct even if the kill did not go through.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]-The committed player’s role is not revealed to the town till the end of the Phase it was guessed in. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]-Day committals will be posted in thread subject to mod availability. Night committals will be updated at the end of the Night along with all other actions.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]-The only Riddler guesses that will be revealed to other Players are the correct ones resulting in a kill. Players will not know if their role was incorrectly guessed.[/FONT]
-The Riddler can not repeat correct guesses within 3 Days. Ie a guess on D1 can be repeated D4 at the earliest, N1 to N4, etc.
[FONT=&quot]-After three incorrect guesses the Riddler is revealed in thread. This does not prevent the Riddler from making future guesses.[/FONT]

Ohhhh. I'm in.

/10chars

 

Tl;dr in. So in. All the in.

I'll go back and read it now.

 

im already designated to be co-mod for this. i was helping out in ballence

 

Big games are scary.

/in

 

Quick Question based on my read through: since the Mafia factions are done via school yard pick, does that mean that Bane and Penguin know every single player in the Mafia factions by virtue of mechanics? If so, can they share this info with their factions?

That's a lot of power if this is a legal mechanic.

 

Taking a short break from mafia.

But if you need someone to replace in on like page 700, shoot me a PM.

 

Not in, just reading through and wanting obs. Also, the Joker is mentioned in other roles descriptions, but does not have a thing for himself. Am I misreading?

 

we replaced joker with riddler

 

I think he means Riddler there.

EDIT: Ninjas. Ninjas everywhere.

Either way, I'm tentatively in for this one. I have a job again, I can play now.

 

Congrats! /10chars

 

Cys stuff being removed from thread. Thanks.

 

Seriously keep drama into appropriate threads. Have some fucking common sense and courtesy people.

 

/so fucking in!!!!!

---------- Post automerged at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Uhh. Is there any possibility of the game running with less people in the event it's hard to get 30? Do you think we'll be able to get 30 here? I know a number of good players from other sites I could ask to join us if it helps?

On a different note, really excited to see how multiple factions works out (also holy crap batman yessssss)!

 

/not in

I am up for mentoring, if anyone wants it or wants to drag in a newbie.

 

i can probally look into it with him to figure out what roles we would weed out

 

If willing I'd appreciate some. It has become obvious to me that I'm doing something very wrong when I can barely pull off town in most of my games. Also I apparently suck at finding scum. That could do with some work.

 

/super in so I can post lots of stuff in my QT to Kalas and also just so I can have a QT

Fonti, if you can't be my mentor then just be in.

Aekiel...cough...I guess..

Oh now I read all the stuff...

"Catwoman
-Can lock in a Mark. If committed during the day, Catwoman and the Mark are both committed. The Mark can be changed at any time before Catwoman is committed."

For some reason I thought this role perfectly describe Harley Quinn.

 

You also took away my /in, Kalas. And Ter's. XD

TERRAINE too.

Something something, volunteer comod, something something.
