ProgArchives Mafia: The Future (Games 2, 3, and 4)

Electronic Mafia

The 15^th annual Electronic Musicians Convention (EMC) takes place this weekend and all of the prospective musicians have gathered at a major train station in Paris, France to take the Trans-Europe Express to Berlin for the convention. Each artist/band has their own room aboard the lavish and sophisticated train’s interior for the entirety of the journey. Each room has its own bed, television, and there are extravagant buffets awaiting the musicians for each meal every day in the dining cars.

Everyone was looking forward to the voyage and the prospect of yet another meeting to discuss musical matters and to form groups of jamming sessions in one of Berlin’s premiere auditoriums.

Little did they know what awaited them as they boarded the express…

If the Man Machine wins, the opponent must vote for whom the Man Machine chooses the subsequent day and not make it apparent. If the Man Machine loses, it must vote for whom the opponent chooses the subsequent day and not make it apparent.

·         Pocket Calculator Operator – Spends each lynch period keeping track of all the votes. For every individual that does not vote, the operator can vote in their place for the person of his choice. The operator’s choices will not be made public.

·         Heimcomputer – Gains a power level each night that Florian is alive. It can choose to use any of its capabilities, as long as it has enough power levels for the option. Once power levels have been used, the Heimcomputer’s power capability is reduced by the amount of the chosen capability. The Heimcomputer can store a maximum of 5 power levels.
