Rock-Paper-Scissors

In addition to the standard Mafia games, it is also possible to play games of Rock Paper Scissors between 2-5 players. Just as how it is normally played in its traditional form, players each choose either Rock, Paper or Scissors, with the result being that Rock defeats Scissors, Scissors defeats Paper and Paper defeats Rock. For more information on the traditional game, click here.

Gameplay

The participants are given a balanced amount of each of three basic weapons: rocks, papers and pairs of scissors. The game then consists in a succession of rounds, during each of which all the players can select a weapon to be used against each of the other players. Using a weapon spends it, and when the player runs out of weapons of a given type, he can't use that type anymore.

When the timer runs out, players will engage in battle using their selected weapons. For example, if there are three players, there can be up to 3 battles per round (Player A vs Player B, Player B vs Player C and Player A vs Player C).

In each individual battle, the traditional rules of rock-paper-scissors apply, that is, rock will defeat scissors, scissors will defeat paper and paper will defeat rock. All three weapons defeat inaction (if the second player did not select a weapon to use against the first).

After all the battles, the round is scored in this manner:

• The player with the most victories in that round will earn 2 victory points.
• If two or more players are tied for the highest amount of victories, each of them earns 1 victory point.
• The remaining players were knocked out and earn no victory points.
• If all players tie in the amount of victories, a random player will step on a Land Mine and be knocked out. The other players will earn 1 victory point.

The game ends after one or more players have reached the required amount of victory points (usually 5 or more).

Combinations

During game play you are able to combine weapons. Combined weapons have the added effect of being able to steal cerain other weapons, as well as being able to beat themselves when not combined. Such as rock+rock=boulder which will beat a plain rock. The command to combine weapons is !combine. Used like this: !combine R S, this will create a shurkiken. The two downsides to combining weapons are the fact you must use them on the same day they are created or they will vanish forever and that you use your weapons up faster. See RPS weapons .

Scoring

At the end of each round we will see all the attacks take place. For each successful attack you receive 1 point. The person with the most points at the end of each round receives 2 vp or victory points. In the case of an even tie amongst all players at the end of a round. one player is "run over" and the rest receive 1vp each. In the case of a tie amongst 2 players at the end of a round, they will split for 1 vp each. The first player to reach 5vp wins the game.

Buying weapons and stock

Mafia Points are an added bonus to playing mafia games. For each game played you receive points based on the amount of players in the game. These points can then be used to buy items to store in your own personal stock. Once you have some points saved up, use: !buy to add to your collection. Use: !buy ROCK to buy a rock, use: !buy PAPER for paper and: !buy SCISSORS for, you got it, scissors. This command only works while no game is being played. Now that you bought some items you can then use the: !stock command. This command will tell you how many items you have saved. Since your stock is now loaded with good items you can now use the: !add command. This can only be used during a RPS game. Use: !add ROCK to add a rock and so on. This will come in useful if you happen to run out of weapons while in a game.

!atk reset notes

It should be noted that when reset does not remove any attacks using a landmine, a collected item or an added item.
