Because this is Chopped, the game follows the basis of Chopped, ie: Each game night will have a set number of "baskets", each with 4 power abilities. Baskets will be distributed randomly to the game regardless of alignment. Baskets are the ONLY power roles in the game. Night 1 will have 4 baskets. Night 2 will have 3 baskets. Night 3 will have 2 baskets. Night 4 and beyond will have 1 basket (see Final Basket). Players who receive the basket may select one ability to use that night. Abilities are not retained; they are only available on that night. The basket abilities will be made public knowledge at the start of the night; however, who receives the basket, which abilities are used, or if any abilities are not used will not be made public until the end of the game. To explain a different way: each night has 4 Jack of all Trades (JOAT) abilities given to a certain number of players. The players may choose to use one ability of their choice. Once they have chosen an ability, the rest disappear and may not be used. [b]Final Basket[/b] The Night 4 basket, also known as the final basket, is a special basket. This basket, instead of randomly being given to a player in the game, will be given to the player with the second-highest number of lynch votes, ie the Secondary Lynch. The player may choose to use an ability or not. The basket will randomly lose one of its abilities before passing to the next person to achieve Secondary Lynch. One player may not receive this basket two nights in a row. If the same player achieves Secondary Lynch multiple days in a row, they will not be able to use an ability. An ability will still be lost from the basket. [b]Mafia Basket[/b] The mafia has a factional basket. Each member may choose to use one ability from the basket. The mafia basket may NOT be used if any member of the mafia receives a normal basket. No more than one basket option may be used in one night. Each option may only be used once. The factional kill is separate from the baskets and may be used nightly. [center][size=6][b]Alignment Information[/b][/size][/center] [b][color=green]TOWN[/color] Win Condition[/b] (10 players) You win when all factions that cannot win with Town are eliminated and at least one member of the Town faction remains alive at game conclusion. [b][color=red]MAFIA[/color] Win Condition[/b] (3 players) You win when all factions that cannot win with Mafia are eliminated, or when nothing can prevent this from occurring, and at least one member of the Mafia faction remains alive at game conclusion. [i]In order for any win condition to be valid, the game must reach a natural conclusion. If the game is called by the moderator(s) for any reason, the game ends automatically in a draw among all factions, whether alive or dead.[/i]

Please make sure you read through ALL the rules of the game before signing up, as this game is a bit different mechanically.

@kirkfan2255

I don't have time for mafia but chopped is my favorite tv show so I have to at least spectate

@kirkfan2255

Hhhh, I would love to sign up if I had more time. As it is, may I please be a spectator?

@kirkfan2255

Sub please. ^^

@kirkfan2255
This looks fun! Tho I have a couple questions before I decide to sign up
I noticed you said that everyone needs to post 5 times every day, but then also said that it was 1 time every 24 hours, and that every day cycle is 48 hours in total...I might be misreading this but can you help me understand it better? Sorry, I get confused easily sometimes XD
Also it's been a while since I've played mafia and I'm new to the hydra feature. Going by context, do hydra players have an extra life? Or do they have a different feature to them?
Thanks for reading all my questions ^^'

@ChibiKittens
Hydras are two players playing the same slot. There's no extra benefits like a life, it's a way to allow two players who might not necessarily have the time to play solo to play together. Hydra slots share a role card, i.e. they play the same role. They only get one vote and both heads (players) die if the slot is lynched or killed. However, they are allowed to talk with one another privately.

The 5 posts per day and 1 per 24 hours rule is an activity check. So a day in this game is the full 48 hours, it's meant to mean one game day or one phase, and you must post 5 times or more before the phase ends. 24 hours is one real life day, but half a game day. The 1 post per 24 hours is to make sure people are keeping up with the game.
