mafiaYou came.
You came, sporting all different kinds of backgrounds, with all different kinds of ambitions and dreams behind you. All of you found the mansion in the same way - through a lone newspaper advertisement promising big money with the morning coffee. For some reason, this advertisement struck you hard, harder than the other classifieds for cats and dogs and old furniture, and before you knew it - you had hurled out the door, compelled by some mysterious force. You all made you way out into the wilderness in whatever manner you could, passing through idyllic countryside and rolling hills, befitting of a trip with one’s family.
But you were never on a trip.
And so you all met, a ragtag gang of people from all different backgrounds, looking for a break at the front of the house, hidden away in a wooden area away from civilization. None of you shared any traits; if anything, this was the most random assortment of people one could ask for. As all of you stood in the clearing around the house, there was an eerie, unsettling quiet, where not a word was spoken. You were all as disconnected as you could possibly be, acknowledging each other's presence in silence.
The house itself was grand, as the advertisement made it out to be - perhaps a bit on the rustic side, with windows coated in dust and an air of once having been lived in, but certainly nothing to scoff at. The curious thing though, was that the door was ajar, with a single note taped on the front.
“If someone can fix this house and prove it, then I will send you the money. Dial the number enclosed once you have--”
A number in cursive script was at the bottom of the note. Some offered skepticism, while others were more willing to believe the note. Surely this was nothing but a prank, the product of boredom by some teenagers. Despite your differences and the eerie silence between all of you, all of you carried your bags and whatever you had brought with you through the single door, regardless of earlier thoughts. It was as if the house had coaxed you inside, like a candy store.
And then the door swung locked behind you.
Cellphones were pulled out. Panic was had as several members of the group attempted to break the doors down to no avail. The note, it turned out, was a fake - the number on the phone led to a disconnected line. The windows of the house seemed unbreakable, and after a long day, all of you realized that there was absolutely no way out. Investigation proved that the house seemed to be connected to an electrical source and working pluming, and there was plenty of food in the fridge and various cupboards in the kitchen to last a small army. Rooms and beds were plentiful (surprisingly enough rooms for all of you to have one room on the second floor, as numerous as you were), and the house appeared to have been fortified for some kind of long journey.
Perhaps the strangest thing of all was a door on the upper floor that seemed to appear straight out of nowhere, leading to a blank closet area. Or maybe the fact that despite the size of the house from the outside, it had way too many rooms to make sense. Or perhaps even stranger was a dark, cool hallway that led out to… somewhere, jutting out awkward from where a spacious fireplace would’ve been in the house's living room, that beckoned both for people to come closer and yet gave off an air of eerie death.
Maybe this was what was wrong with the house, after all.
Maybe this is what you had to fix.
And maybe, you aren't alone. This game is based very loosely (and by very loosely, I mean very, very very loosely) off the book House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski. Knowledge of the book is not required, although it'll serve as some interesting side flavour... :9
Thank you to kagamite, Tsuji, minji, Angelstar and holyknight for reading over the game!

rulesGeneral- Mafia rules and forum rules apply.
- No communication re: the game is allowed between any players (PM alliances and other communication i.e. twitter) outside of the mafia.
- This is a closed roles game! Roleclaiming is allowed, but discouraged. Public spreadsheets are not allowed.
- Rules may be updated during the progress of the game, and will be announced inthread.
- Please be civil to each other! If there is a problem (i.e. dysfunctional mafia, etc.,) please PM me and I will deal with it. You’re stuck in a house after all, how do you expect to get out if you don’t work together ;_;
- Popcorn.gif is allowed, but please don’t overdo it/spamming! Images that are large gifs or just large in general should be placed under a cut.
Gameplay- The game will start on Night 1.
- Phases will last 24 hours, and rollover time will be at 9:00PM EST! If you are unsure when this is in your timezone, check here!
- Please bold your votes during the day phase (along with unvotes!)
- You have one vote change every day phase.
- Do not join if you cannot commit to playing! I will not tolerate inactivity. If you have not posted a post of substance (a post of substance meaning a post that isn’t just a vote) in the last 48 hours, you will be modkilled and replaced! Warning PMs will be sent out if you are approaching this point.
Quote: Okay, so I sat on this a bit longer and given the fact that more people said yes than no...
In order to dissuade people from repeatedly not voting multiple times (and by that i don't mean nv/nl, but literal abstaining from voting entirely) - there is a new rule going to be in place. This isn't retroactive, so the last phase doesn't technically count because lol twinned day phases.
If you do not vote (that means it's ok if you nv/nl, but if you just don't vote entirely like there's nothing beside "Angelstar vs.") for two consecutive day phases and you are not under the influence of some kind of power/role that prevents you from doing so, you run the risk of being modkilled on the third day phase if you do not vote then. This is to dissuade people posting to simply make the 48 hour limit of posts (i.e. "lol backreading"). The gap is large enough that ... tbh if you haven't voted for two day phases in a row and plan to not vote on a third and you don't have any power or anything that hit you that prevents you from voting in any of those phases uh
This also doesn't count people inactive for valid reasons. - clarification of modkills due to inactivity here
- Roleplay is allowed, but please post any roleplaying you do in italics. Roleplaying posts do not count as a post of substance.
- There are revival roles in play, so ghosts are not allowed to divulge any information past death!
what can we do?There are three groups; the mafia, town, and a group of collective neutrals. The game is intended for roughly 32 players (ratio is 22 town/6 mafia/4 neutral), although it can be cut down to at the minimum 24 players (16 town/5 mafia/3 neutral).
The mafia's goal is to outnumber the town.
The town's goal is to lynch the entire mafia.
The neutrals have their own respective win conditions.
Every night, the mafia will decide on one player to kill, and this kill is treated as an action sent in by the player in question.
In contrast, every day phase involves a vote by the players on who to lynch on suspicion of being mafia.
If a player has a power which allows them to perform a specific kind of action, then they may PM in their action during the respective phase.
Action priority is as follows:
PASSIVE ACTION > STUN > PROTECTION > ANY OTHER ACTIVE ACTION > KILL
Actions that are in direct conflict with each other (i.e. two people stunning each other) will be determined by inbox priority. Active actions are denoted as actions where you must activate it by sending in a PM (i.e. vigilante, doctor, detective) whereas passive actions are actions where no submission of action is needed; that is, it is always active.
Exceptions to the the priority hierarchy are also noted in PM. This game has closed roles, and there are no rules to roleclaiming; however, it is strongly advised against. There is a single Wrath of God character, chosen before alignment roll. special quirksThe house is fluid in build - rooms always appear and disappear with every passing day, and doors will appear out of nowhere... Every night, a door will randomly materialize in one player's room, the player being determined by the RNG. They will have a choice of opening the door, in which one of the following events may occur:
The door leads to a closet containing an item or an event of sorts. The majority of outcomes are beneficial.
The door opens to another player’s room, selected by RNG. You may choose to leave the other player an anonymous note (sent through PM and delivered upon day rollover), choose to search the room (if the player is in possession of any items, you will steal a random item from them - the player will be notified if an item is stolen from them), or do nothing.
The door leads to an empty room or blank wall - essentially, nothing. How anticlimatic.
On items:
- All items are one time use only unless otherwise noted. Descriptions for what each item do will be given to you when you receive the item. After an item has been used, it will disappear.
- Items will die with the person should the person be killed.
- If an item is found, it will be announced inthread. It will not be announced if the item leaves play, although if an item is used it will be noted in rollover.

I'll join! I'll give up my spot if someone wants to play and there's no room, since I'm in both games. But... This is a pretty large game so I don't really see that happening.
