Welcome to Schizophrenia Mafia.


Disclaimer: Show
Schizophrenia was chosen purely for flavor purposes and is likely not portrayed even close to accurately. This is a GAME. It is only a game. It is not intended to belittle anyone who suffers from this malady.

Flavor: Show
You have all been gathered here because you all suffer from schizophrenia.  Each of you is known to possess 2 unique personalities.

Some of you are doubtlessly thinking that this cannot be true.  You are who you are, not someone else.  This is because, for the last week we have been giving you daily doses of a suppressant drug that has allowed only one of your personalities to manifest itself.

Our objective here is to discover which of your personalities is the "good" one and which the "bad".  We have grouped you all together and you will soon be allowed to mingle with your fellow patients.  At the end of each day, you and your fellow patients will let us know which of you is unsuited to remain within society.  That person will be removed temporarily, taken to a secure facility, and have large amounts of electricity ramped through their brain.  This process will obliterate their currently dominant personality, allowing their remaining personality to surface. Although it will not affect their memories, their new personality will likely possess different capabilities than the one that was removed.  They will have the rest of the night to recover and become acquainted with their new self before they are reintroduced to the rest of the group.

Now let me be clear.  All of you not only suffer from schizophrenia, but all of you have committed serious crimes of various natures.  Your crimes are varied, but all were felonies that carry the death penalty if convicted.  All of you HAVE been convicted, though many of you may not remember it.  The courts though, have deemed it inhumane to sentence you to death while there is still a chance to redeem you by removing your criminal personality and allowing your other personality to return back into society, under strict probation of course.  Each of you has a chance to redeem yourselves and avoid being sentenced to death.

Unfortunately, for all we know, both of your personalities may be criminals, unfit to function within society.  Any of you that are reintroduced after having your first personality wiped out and find yourselves still incapable of functioning among your peers will again be taken to the secure facility to have your brain fried.  This will almost certainly leave you a vegetable, but since you've been sentenced to death anyway by the courts, so be it.

Now, it is time to introduce you to your fellow inmates patients...

Features: Show


This will be a 12 player game where (most) players will have two lives.  If you are "killed" the first time, you "should" be given a second role PM and allowed back into the game.  If you are killed a second time, you will most likely die.   (Edit: Game size is not set at 12. I'll take a minimum of 8 and a maximum of... however many sign up.)

At least one player will only have 1 life, one other will actually have 3.  So don't throw away your first life just because it is vanilla in the hopes of getting something better.  You may find out that you got dead, not "better".

The list of secondary personalities is NOT tied to original personalities.  The list is randomized (including at least one spot for the "No second personality" and will be distributed to each player as their first personality is wiped.  In this way, any player may end up with any role from the list of second personalities.

There is a Mafia working to get the rest of you mind wiped while protecting their own murderous personalities.  If you can manage to wipe out all of them at any point in the game, "Town" will win.

The number of Mafia alive at any point may actually increase as Townies die and receive their second personalities.

Special arrangements have been made to allow Mafia to come back as Town.  Nothing will prevent them from spilling all they know about their former scumbuddies.  Nevertheless, the design allows this to work without breaking the game... hopefully.


I will NOT be asking for replacements. If we have volunteers, fine. But if a mod prod doesn't get a player to respond, they will be taken to the secure facility and mind wiped. Effectively this will send them to their second life if they are still on their first, giving them a chance to get active and back into the game. If they're already on their second life, no matter how they got there, they will most likely NOT survive. Mind wipes due to failed Mod prods will not cause Day (or Night) to end early.

Signups are now open. Signups will close Friday morning at around 10am Pacific time.

Replace or in.
Somewhere in the system there is an open ended list of all the lies we tell unblinking, thinking, what could we be living?

I put you down as in since I'd much rather have more players than have replacements available.

If you'd really prefer to be a replacement instead, let me know.
