GOP Candidates Mafia 2016 - GAME OVER - PATAKI TAKES ALL

Across our great nation, through all walks of life, people reacted to the inevitability that Donald J Trump is going to be our next president. Some cheered, ecstatic that, finally, someone was saying what had been on so many minds. Some became furious, disgusted by racism and hatred being displayed across our great nation with no consequences. Some were terrified, making their plans to flee the country or just stay in their homes, removing themselves from society.

And then there were those who began to fight; working hard to support other options, to diminish the lead that Mr. Trump had been enjoying for far too long. Whether within the Grand Old Party or outside, there are those who refuse to stand behind this man, who refuse to support him becoming the most powerful man in America. These are the ones who would gladly defy the uninformed public and the corporate media in their pursuit of a “Brutally honest president.” Those people who believe what America truly stands for: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

However, amongst those gathered here are traitors to the constitution. Rebels who intend to infiltrate the great Republican Party and to dispatch the dissenters who seek to destroy the Donald’s race to be president. Now is the time for the true fight; the epic battle. Now, you will have to weed through the candidates and determine which is on your side and which is not.

Let the battle begin!
Welcome to GOP Candidates Mafia!! This is a game for 9 players in which, as you can tell from the opening flavor, does NOT include Donald Trump as a character (as should the actual race be!) Instead, you will have to determine which amongst you secretly supports his race for POTUS and dispatch them before they get you.

This game includes a fun mechanic that I shamelessly stole from DYH’s “Amistarian” games on MTGS and modified them for my own personal use. They are called “Last Resort” abilities, and most if not all of you will have one.



THE RULES (As stolen from Stardust because he is awesome)
1. Town is blue. Mafia is red. Neutral is purple.
2. Do not quote PM’s that you receive from me. This includes your role PM and any images. You may paraphrase, but do not talk about the formatting or anything beyond the words.
3. Do not edit or delete posts. If you have something more to say, make a new post. If you want to correct your grammar, make a new post. Anything else? Make a new post.
4. Do not talk about this game outside this game. Communication with other players must happen either in this thread or by means I provide.
5. Votes and Unvotes must be bolded. Unvoting is helpful, but not required to switch your vote.
6. If you have a question or request for me, please bold it. Questions and requests can also be PM’d to me. Don’t hesitate to ask me anything! I may not give you an answer, but I’ll always reply and am happy to help.
7. If you are unable or unwilling to continue playing, please contact me so I can find a replacement.
8. Once a lynch has been achieved, no unvotes will reverse it and no Day abilities may be used.
9. Be sporting. No trying to get modkilled, no cryptoclaiming, no outing of your scum buddies as some twisted revenge. Please don’t try to win so hard that you ruin the game in the process.
10. Thanking posts is allowed as long as you are alive in-game. Dead players and spectators may NOT thank posts.
11. You are expected to participate in this game. At Day's end, any player who has not posted at least once every two days on average will be modkilled or replaced (at mod's discretion). No prods will be sent. To avoid abuse, no modkills will take place if the Day ends in less than 7 days.


Order of night actions, stolen from Seppel:
1. Immunities
2. Controlling another player's actions
3. First strike non-killing actions
4. Gaining actions
5. Losing actions
6. Redirecting / replacement effects
7. Roleblocking
8. Protecting
9. Rescuing / Reviving
10. Sending items or messages
11. First strike killing actions
12. Killing actions
13. Gathering information
14. Anything else
Nothing will ever be handled in "timestamp"

Sample Town Role PM:
You are John Kasich, Town Vanilla

You have no abilities.

You win when all threats to our great nation are dead.

100% all American negative. He is a scourge upon this party.

Thank you for your vote, Stardust! I hope the rest of you will consider voting for me too! Make Wisconsin great again!

Regarding Trump, I'm still waiting on the opinion polls and focus group results to come back before issuing a formal policy statement. Thank you no more questions!

Stardust are you a member of a union? Your collective bargaining tactics have no place here, and my supporters can see past the negative misinformation you're trying to spread about me.

GOP Candidates Mafia 2016 - Day 1

I am a member of a union. The United States of America!

Attack ads having no effect sounds suspiciously similar to Mr. Trump himself...

(I both love and hate how our political rhetoric this game is going to ensure nothing substantial starts for at least three pages)

Stardust, why do you hate freedom?

GOP Candidates Mafia 2016 - Day 1

Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2016 4:29 pm
by Stardust
I do not hate freedom. Let me remind you that of all the candidates on this stage right now, I am the only one who has been fighting for the common man. Look to my record, you can see for yourself. Big government and moneyed interests are destroying the American dream, and must be opposed. Donald Trump must be opposed. So what have you done lately? Nothing. Nothing for this party and nothing for this country. The only people you work for are your donors and your vested interests.

Your rhetoric is as empty as your suit, Stardust. All you've done since this game started is sling mud at me and try to curry favor with GR. What backroom deal have you two made?

America deserves better. I call on Stardust to release the full transcripts of his meeting with GR!

GOP Candidates Mafia 2016 - Day 1

Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2016 8:23 pm
by Stardust
Full transcripts will not be required. It is a matter of public record that GR and I put aside our differences following the "Bioshock Scandal" of two and a half years ago. Americans lost their lives that Day, something that neither of us want to see repeated.

You say that I'm slinging mud, and yet you refuse to answer direct questions. Point to what you consider undue mudslinging, because from where I'm standing it looks like all the mud on you is from your own wallowing.

*GOP applause*

My character is beyond reproach, my constituency loves me, and my colleagues and I have an established record of investigating and punishing the scum that clings to the walls of the capitol.

Let the record show that Stardust is merely attempting to obfuscate and spread fear, uncertainty and doubt. I will continue to monitor him and his known associates.

My phone ate the post from this morning where I explained stuff already explained by Stardust.

Blatant support for Trump in the game where Trump is the bad guy is WIFOM territory, Ham. I'm on the fence about you.
