9 candidates gather in the convention centre. The nine who have made it this far. They've gotten their signatures, worked their way onto ballots, and now they were going to battle out it to become the Republican Presidential Nominee.
But something was wrong.
No, it wasn't just the newfangled Approval Voting system that was pushed on them as an experiment for this election year.
No, it wasn't just the islamofascist comminazi president and his stooges in congress. (And really, he wasn't that bad a guy - despite the propaganda, after all, he still worked for the same companies in the end)
No, the problem was this - there should have been ten. But a last minute blitz of negative ads from an unknown source knocked one of them out of the running before the competition even began. Poor Hoggart Boggart, Macaroni Mogul, was slandered up and down, left and right, and forced to resign from the party in shame. His life has taken a dark turn since his social exile, and he's had to retreat to his Bahama's beach house on a paid 5-month vacation to maintain what little happiness he had left.
None of the candidates admitted to it, of course, but he was brought down by things that no one outside this group could know - things that might not only sink each individual candidate, but ruin their chances for taking back the government. The problem was that some among their number were traitors - political terrorists. RHINOs.
And if any of the candidates were to have a chance of surviving the primary season, they will need to be... disposed of.
Onwards! For Tradition. For Party Purity. And, most of all, for Power!Why this is mafia:There will be 9 players - 2 scum, 1-2 third party, and 5-6 town.
Gameplay and wincons will generally follow standard mafia rules - I shouldn't need to explain those here.
Unlike most of my bastards, there will NOT be a way for everyone to win, so don't bother trying to figure it out.
Why this is a bastard?Power Roles - Everyone will have power roles, but not everyone will be able to use them all the time. See: Issues.
Approval Voting - "Vote for one" becomes "Vote for one or more". You may vote for any number of targets, though you may still vote for any target once. Any target who gets more than 50% of the vote will be lynched - this means that you can potentially lynch everyone day 1 if you really felt like it.
Quickish - Days will last 48 hours, roughly, with no extends. Nights will last 4 hours, again, roughly. 24 hours without messaging me or posting is worth a prod. 2 prods means execution. Feel free to submit your night action before it is night, and resubmit to overwrite the last one.
Bonus Win! - In addition to regular wincons, there is a special "Last Man Standing" bonus wincon for the last player left alive. In addition to allowing you to win even if you fail your other wincon, the winner will be rewarded with a special unique power in my NEXT bastard, assuming they want to play. If the game ends early, last man standing will be chosen from among the various survivors (for example, in the case of a town victory). It will be random-ish. See below:
Issues! - Each player will also receive their stance on various issues - Social, Economic, and Religious. You may PM a night message requesting you attempt to sway public opinion one one of them in addition to any other night actions you make, which will change it by one point on the following scale:
Arch-Conservative -> Super-Conservative -> Conservative -> Moderate -> Liberal
The position of the various issues in regards to a nominees stance will determine who is chosen as the Last Man Standing, and may lock or unlock various player powers.
Need 9 players to start.
