Chess is both beauty and tragedy.

Speed chess is the #1 early cause of death for chess players.

The brave shall inherit the earth (?)

Lavatory or elaborate cheating device? You be the judge....

Theme, flavor, or just drama? It remains to be seen...

P.S. I may or may not have included hints to the theme with (some) of these flavor clips. Have fun figuring it out :D

Fun with chess!

You're in for a surprise when you get home and watch it :)

Some of the craziest stuff I've seen in my life. Look at the bottom left corner of the video, that's what he sees.

Oh yeah, please inform me if you think I've made a mistake with your role PM or something. I am not a detail-oriented person lol

Welcome to chess mafia! Chess is love, chess is life. Have fun!

1. Don't copy-paste your role PM or pretend to do so.

2. Do not edit or delete posts.

3. Do not communicate outside of the thread or approved chats (cryptography counts).

4. Respect the site rules. Some banter is fine, but don't derail things with personal attacks.

5. Follow the spirit of the rules and the game.

Also, a modkill on town will end the DP immediately. Don't try it.

1. The setup is role madness - there are no vanillas.

2. Many of the roles have been custom-made by mishmashing various other roles and mechanics.

3. There is a themesplit.

4. Mafia have not been given fakeclaims.

5. Majority voting is in effect.

6. 72 hour DP, 24 hour NP.

7. Setup is standard 2v7.

8. Be ready for swing.

If you have a question, PM me. I will (probably) answer questions about your own role, flipped roles, or hypothetical roles.

PMs coming out tonight, finalizing balance and all that rn

Cool, that should be 9. PMs coming on Monday when I get back

Not really going to wade into this, but I think lumping GP into the same category as BK is a bit unfair. He legitimately puts in effort in many of his games, and even called the entire scum team at the end of DP1. His lack of analysis can be frustrating, but I've never seen him actively troll or throw a game.

It'll be pretty much anything related to chess - openings, players, pieces, etc. The roles are what I'm mostly focusing on for now

Great to see a fresh face. I recommend reading "Guide to Forum Mafia" by Earth, which is pinned at the top of this forum section. Thanks for joining

Allegedly, some dead players were upvoting posts.

Thx for that lol. 

I was sitting next to ijb1 in class and was showing him this mafia game. He posted that stuff as a joke. Can you please unban him? We really didn't think that would be taken seriously...

Out of curiosity, was your choice to sus Pie in DP1 out of behavioral reads or just "yoloing"? Kinda shocked that someone actually agreed with me...

So... in?

Sorry to hear that.

Roles and alignments will be randomized.

Everyone is free to join (or not join, obviously) my games.

Play!*

The debate season is winding down, and so is school... so I figured I'd host a fun mafia game.

Standard rules, there will be a themesplit, and it will be role madness. I have a few creative mechanics I've been wanting to use for a while. Hoping for 9 players.

Good luck >:)

Also true.

I play it to crush people's dreams :D

You can just explicitly ban it, then ask the mods to check upvotes if suspected (I'm pretty sure they can do that, although you never know). I honestly think that with some creativity, you can probably communicate some actual information behind the grave (e.g. list each living player, then ask a dead cop to upvote whichever player they copped guilty).

That might actually be a fun idea for a quickfire game. Anyway, I digress.

Eh, I can see your point there. Anyway, some people play mafia to have fun. Personally I'm fine with that as long as they make a reasonable effort to play to their wincon.

Yes, I wonder who led that train out of totally legitimate behavioral reasons. But in all seriousness, Greyparrot claimed first, and his role was wacky enough that it was obvious the roles in this game weren't going to be particularly normal.

Also, I just want to take a moment to say that none of this is personal in any way. I genuinely enjoy playing with you and hope you will reconsider your decision to not play with GP and BK, as annoying as they can sometimes be.

Sure. Like I said... I wouldn't have claimed Mark. But anyway... (disclaimer, this is based off a brief read of Mark's wiki article, so justifications won't make much sense)

Idea 1: Modified Deathproof

-If lynched, then survive, but having two or more people visit you the next NP will kill you.

-If NKed, then survive, but your hammer threshold will be at L - 2 the next DP.

Idea 2: Modified Joat

-Invulnerability: x1 activated bulletproof + lynchproof for next DP

-Flight: Cannot be roleblocked, watch 2 players

-Strength: Target a player, their actions cannot be roleblocked or redirected and will roleblock scum if they are targeted by that player

Idea 3: Conditionally strong role (since mark protects his friends and all that)

-Once per game, target a player to protect. They cannot be killed for as long as you are alive. However, if you are killed, then they will die too.

Like, it's not that hard to make up a creative role in a rolemad game for the literal protag of the show.

Again, I wouldn't have claimed Mark. But if I did, I would have made up some overpowered but somewhat plausible role like Greyparrot's, not the second-most generic self-protective role there is.
