The 'Shroom:Issue 126/Killing Game: Closing Argument: Difference between revisions

As a brief summary, the Killing Game is a derivative of standard Mafia games, with a heavy influence from the ''[[wikipedia:Danganronpa|Danganronpa]]'' series. There are day and night phases, roles, powers, voting, and lots of other things that, at first glance, make it look like a clone of Mafia. In fact, some users here believed it as such upon first seeing it, though as the game progressed, it became more than clear that this was a vastly different game. There are some differences of course, such as the game being free-for-all and having a vastly more detailed setting, but what really sets the Killing Game apart from Mafia is the fact that the Killing Game allows for significantly more freedom. During night phases, players are to submit night actions, similarly to Mafia. However, night actions are not limited to "'''Kill: X'''", "'''Visit: Y'''", etc. as they are in Mafia. During night phases, players are able to almost literally do whatever they please, be it cook themselves some dinner, take a shower, run around like a maniac throwing paint everywhere, and of course, killing their fellow players. Once the night phase ends, the day phase begins, where typically a body is found somewhere in the game's setting; in this case, [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. The goal of the players is to use evidence provided to deduce and vote off the killer, while the goal of the killer is to cover up their deed and get the players to vote off someone else. This progresses until the end of the game, where the last player standing wins the game.
