For those of you who don't know what a Mafia game is, I'll summarise it for you in two lines:
There is an enemy amongst you. Find him, before he gets you as well.
You are part of a science expedition team sent out to discover new resources for your home. On your journey, your ship was under attack by a malicious extra-terrestrial creature. With the combined forces of everyone on board, you managed to slay the monster.
Its corpse has been safely located in the ship's laboratory, and after a series of tests and thorough examination, it has been found that it died, not because your team neutralised it, but because it has safely made one of you a Mother Swarm, fulfilling its sole purpose.
Infused with human DNA, this new hybrid is assumed to be smarter than its predecessors, additionally, is imbued with enhanced strength (along with several other qualities). Its new delegated mission? To infect all of you into its "Children" - like all living beings strive to be: immortal or reproduce.
Fortunately, due to the natural combative instincts of the human immune-system, the Mother Swarm can only assume its "non-human" form in the night, giving you temporary safety from a strong, fiendish confrontation. However, this could mean a more difficult investigation ..
Humans
Find the Mother Swarm and exterminate the threat before it terrorises the entire ship. In order to win, you must figure out who the Mother is.
The Mother Swarm
Dominate this ship and claim it as your own new nest. Once more than 50% of the living population is converted, you win.
Children
You are the firsts of a new population. Help your new Leader to cover his/her tracks and bring forth victory through teamwork - and sly charisma. If your Leader wins, you win as well.
How do I play?
- The Mother Swarm will be randomly assigned to one of the players, and the result will be discussed in private between the GM and player.
- Player roles are first come, first serve. Once all the positions are taken, we will begin shortly. There are 9 positions in total, each with a unique ability.
- The game relies on communication - for the Humans - and strategy, especially for the Swarms. Upon the creation of your character after cherry-picking a position, you will also have individual briefing about unique do's and don't.
- Please remember that this game is for entertainment. Don't take the "tricks" personally. Your goodwill as a role player is appreciated, and requested, therefore, certain information you hold are expected to be kept to yourself (example: a Swarm Child player sharing the identity of who the Mother is with a friend who is playing as the other faction through PM).
