Hey everybody! Welcome to another trivia themed mafia game, hosted by yours truly. This time around, instead of Canadia land, the theme is Music. So put on your thinking caps and take this opportunity to flex as much music knowledge as you know.

Before we get started, allow me to provide you with some specific information regarding how this game is going to run. Most of this will be a rehash of the signup thread, but I have changed one or two things about the setup. First off, the player makeup is 6 townies and 2 mafia. On top of any abilities they may receive, the mafia team has access to a permanent factional nightkill and a double-shot factional roleblock. There are no indeps of any kind. The wincons for both teams are standard; the town wincon is to eliminate the mafia team before they have a chance to achieve theirs; the mafia wincon is to achieve parity with the town or reach a point at which nothing can prevent that. It is important to note that this is a no reveal game. Each player has been provided with both a flavour title and a role title; all that will be revealed upon death is a player’s flavour title, which is based on their character. Certain mechanics may reveal roles or alignments. Additionally, there is a chance for players to be revived.

Now let me address the elephant in the room. Each of you have been provided with a series of seven trivia-style questions related to music in some way. There are 2 easy questions, 3 medium difficulty, and 2 hard. Answering questions is the key to unlocking abilities in this game. Each player may receive an ability only for the first 3 questions they answer, and may receive only one per phase, though you can answer the questions all at once if you wish. The strength of the abilities you may receive is, somewhat loosely, based on the difficulty of the questions. Questions in the hard tier will unlock the strongest versions of your abilities. Each ability is single-shot. The abilities you may receive are tied to your role. Please note that roles and alignments were randomized separately. Therefore, claims are designed to be NAI.

Reminder about the googling rule: If you need to look up the answer to a question, be it through google, AI, etc., I expect you to tell me this; you will receive a weaker variant of the ability. For the sake of transparency, because I used Chat GPT to test the questions, I know that it is capable of answering each one. I am running this game under the expectation that every player respects the integrity of the game enough to be honest about this.

If there are any questions regarding the setup or game mechanics, please ask me, whether in dm or in thread! Apart from the way abilities are unlocked, this is a standard mafia game.

Rules:
  • Understand the standard rules of mafia games
    • Absolutely no outside contact unless specifically permitted by the game host (me)
    • No discussing the game outside the game thread unless specifically permitted by me
  • Please, for my own sake, place votes on separate lines
  • Unvoting before changing votes is not necessary
  • If you refer to me, please @me
  • Days in this game will last 60 hours, nights will last 32. This is to maximize the amount of time you have to think about the questions without having to worry about posting. If players desire, I will shorten to a 48/24 format later
  • For the first day only, half majority (rounded up) will be required for a lynch to occur
  • Vote ties will result in the first person reaching that number of votes to be lynched
  • ABSOLUTELY NO SHARING OR DISCUSSING QUESTIONS. THIS WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE MODKILL
  • Outside information may not be used as evidence. This includes any private communication between player and host, including your role PM.
  • You may claim all you want. Free reign
  • Be semi-active (2-3 posts per day minimum)
  • MYLO and LYLO will NOT be announced - this beats the purpose of no-reveal concept
  • Have fun (or else)
