Not-So-Beginner Mafia 4

Before the war, the kingdom of Alaria had grown quite powerful.  Under the leadership of Prime Minister Peter Ward, Alaria had grown to hold 23 planets and one planet-like object, and had a sizable fleet of well-armed warships.  The economy was in good shape.    Most citizens were quite happy, and it seemed that nothing could go wrong for the kingdom. 

Unfortunately, the neighbouring Hall Empire, led by Emperor John Hall, responded to Alaria's growth with a declaration of war.  A rapid invasion of Alarian territory followed immediately.  Now, Alaria has lost much.  Down to 12 planets and one planet-like object, Alaria desperately fights for its survival.  Many people and ships have been lost on both sides.  Currently, the war is at a stalemate, and both sides are searching for any possible advantage that could end said stalemate.  This has not been easy, particularly due to the intelligence forces of both sides doing their best to prevent their opponents from succeeding.
Deep within Alarian territory, a military courier ship by the name of HMS Ward (Peter had a bit of an ego issue) is in use for an assignment of great importance.  One of Alaria's finest light ships, the Ward is known for its high speed and small crew (around nine people are necessary for maximum efficiency).  A small brig allows it to carry a prisoner, and a well-secured cargo hold allows the safe movement of important items.  It is not heavily armed, but heavy weaponry is rarely necessary this deep within friendly territory.

The nine people aboard the Ward have a simple job: deliver a sealed letter (sealed letters being an effective way to minimize the risk of interception, as electronic communication has not been remotely secure) from Admiral Harris to Prime Minister Peter Ward himself.  The crew consists of an assortment of trusted soldiers and public servants taken from whatever branches of the Alarian government could spare them (the war having tied most of the military up).  All have gone through a thorough vetting process to ensure that any vital documents carried do not end up in enemy hands.  All go under self-selected code names only, to protect their families.  All sleep in their own, keycard-locked rooms, for safety and privacy.  Security is quite high, for the letter is apparently quite important.

Fortunately, the voyage should be uneventful.
Welcome to Not-So-Beginner Mafia 4.  Not-So-Beginner Mafia 4 uses the current Beginner's Mafia setup, but lacks the teaching aspect and beginner requirements.

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

• Voting - Votes are cast in red and should include the name of the targeted player. Other colors may be ignored. zombie urist, ZU, zombie, and zombo urnesto, are all acceptable ways to cast a vote if the target is clear enough.
  
  • If you want to remove your vote, you may put unvote in red text. You must explicitly state this to remove your vote. You may put the name of the player you are unvoting in red after the unvote, e.g., unvote zombie urist, but it is not required.
  • If the day ends with two or more people having the same number of votes, the day will end with no player being lynched.
  • It is also possible to vote for a no lynch to explicitly end the day without a lynch.
• Death - When you are dead, you are prohibited from posting in the thread. You may make a single 'bah' post after you die, however, it must not contain any game-related information.
• PMs - PMs between players are prohibited. You may freely PM the moderator to ask game-related questions, however, what the moderator may reveal is limited.
  
  • Do not quote any direct correspondence with the moderator, including role PMs and rule-related queries.
• Edits - Editing posts is prohibited. Do not edit your post for any reason, even if your post comes out as a train-wreck of formatting, spelling, punctuation, and/or grammar. The preview button exists; use it.
• Replacements/Activity - If you find yourself unable to play, you may, and should, request a replacement. We may try to talk you out of it if it's for any other reason besides you not having enough time to play.
  
  • Prods may be requested for a player. If they have not posted in the thread within 24 hours, excluding weekends, they will be prodded.
  • If you stop playing altogether without notifying me, you will receive a warning after 48 hours, and a forced replace after 72 hours.
  • Please be active. The greatest killer of beginner games is poor activity.
• Day/Night Length - Days will last 72 hours. Nights will last 24 hours, or until all night actions are received. Weekends are not counted in terms of day or night length. E.G., if a night starts at 12:00 PM Friday, it will end at 12:00 PM Monday.
  
  • If the game is in a LYLO or MYLO situation, there will be no formal deadline. >50% Players must vote to end the day, or votes must not change for 24-hours.
• Extensions/Shortens - A player may vote for an extension to increase the length of the day. It requires >33% of the current number of players to request an extension for an extension to be granted. A player may also vote for a shorten. It requires >50% of the current number of players for a shorten to be granted. Extensions increase day length by 48 hours, while shortens will immediately end the day as soon as possible. There are only two extensions per day, with other extensions being granted at the moderator's discretion for special reasons.
  • Votes for extension/shorten are done in boldface. Extend, Extension, Extend it up yo, Shorten it out y'all are acceptable ways to vote for an extension or shorten
  • Extensions or shortens can be opposed. Opposition to extensions or shortens are done in boldface. Oppose Extend, Opposition to the Extension, Oppose Shorten, are acceptable ways to oppose an extension or shorten. Oppositions count against the total number of votes for an extension or shorten.
  • Extensions count as opposition to hortens. Similarly, shortens count as opposition to extensions.
  • Extensions, Shortens, and Oppositions will be counted and processed by the moderator in the order that they are cast.
• External Participation - While the game is ongoing, if you are not a player, an IC, or a mod, refrain from posting in the thread.
  • Play to win! There is no hopeless situation, so don't ever give up. And remember, be bold! You learn nothing and you gain nothing by holding back.
• Miscellaneous - Use of cryptographic hashing is not permitted.  If you want to have hidden/obfuscated messages in your posts for later use, come up with them using your own wetware.

Spoiler: Potential Roles (click to show/hide)

Vanilla Townie - A member of the town with no special abilities.
Vanilla Mafioso - A member of the mafia with no special abilities.
Cop (Town) - A cop may choose to inspect a single player during the night and learn that player's alignment.
Jailkeeper (Town) - A combination of a Roleblocker and a Doctor, a Jailkeeper both protects and blocks the target from acting during the night.
Role Cop (Mafia) - Much like the Town Cop counterpart, the Role Cop investigates a single other during the night to learn their role, instead of their alignment.

This is still an experimental setup

The only role that receives the success of their results in this setup is the Cop and Rolecop. All other roles are not informed if they were successful or not.

One of the following setups is used:
1. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop, Jailkeeper.
2. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop.
3. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Jailkeeper.

Spoiler: Role PMs (click to show/hide)

You are an agent of the Hall Empire.  You've spent a long time infiltrating the government of Alaria, and managed to gain their trust.  That trust led to you ending up on the Ward.  Your mission is simple: intercept the (clearly important) letter.  Unfortunately, the enemy knows there are spies among them, and are trying to identify you and your partner.  You must not allow that.

You and your partner were given tools to bypass the keycard locks on most ship doors and eliminate Alarian loyalists.  You can, as a team, manage one kill per night without getting caught.

You are Mafia. You have access to the shared night kill of your faction. You may talk privately with your ally [In a secret topic held on Quicktopic.com which will be visible to only you and your ally.]

Win Condition: You win when the town faction has equal or less players than your faction.

Win Condition: You win when the TOWN faction has equal or less players than your faction!

You are a loyal Alarian citizen.  You were selected to help get the Ward's cargo to Peter Ward.  It is a tedious job, but it seemed to be a safe one.  Unfortunately, two of your fellow crew members are Hall's scum, and are now likely to try to kill the rest of the crew.  Hall's spies must be eliminated.

You are Town.

Win Condition: You win when all members of the Mafia faction have been eliminated.

Luckily, you have a trick up your sleeve.  Some time back, you figured out a way to bypass the locks for the crew bedrooms.  At night, you can break into a single person's room and stealthily search for anything indicating a Hall Empire connection.

You are Town. Each night you can inspect another player to learn their alignment.

I'd like to say that I'm not a beginner; mostly true.
As evidenced by my last game: Lack of awareness of Bay12 Meta.

In to Replace? Or can I be simply In?
Following in either case.

[Jack A T]

In to Replace? Or can I be simply In?

Flabort: Considering we've had almost complete newbies join previous NSBMs, I think we can handle you if you want in.  Do you want in?

Yeah, as long as everyone's fine with it.

[The Soldier]

I'd like to join in.

A few of you might remember me from a handful of games about a year ago; I was one of the starting players of BM 39 before getting the flu and having to be one of the million replacements. I joined a couple more after that, but ended up dropping out of them with no warning due to various factors like heavy workload and stresses. A simple setup like this seems like a great place for me to make a return; this time, I'll make it to the end!
