Holy Grail Mafia

*Holy Grail Mafia,* or "HG" as it is referred to by the community, was a Starmen.net Mafia game that ran from February 8th, 2022 to March 29, 2022. The game had a difficulty of five on the Dandee Meter, featured twenty-seven players/characters (eighteen Town, six Mafia, and three Indie), and lasted for eight in-game days. The hosts of the game were Darth\_Pokey and CaptainPlanet. The game's MVP was Immunization.

The writeups of the game are presumably set in our world (excluding fictitious places such as "Starmen.net headquarters: MAfia Department"), taking place in an event known as the "Grail Party". The Grail Party was held by CaptainPlanet and Darth\_Pokey after they found the long searched for Holy Grail and discovered that drinking from it can give you any form you desire (thus the game was choose-your-flavor). The primary conflict was a robed society known as the Holy Grail Mafia killing everyone in the world and then fusing the multiverse.

## Setup

HG had a choose-your-flavor character setup with roles picked up post-signups to fit each player's flavor. HG's setup was described as a "bastard game" (hence its dandee ranking). This was due to a complex item trading system, various JoAT-esque roles, two powerful anti-town indies, a Janitor ability that affected affected other roles' functions and what players could do post-death, and a handful of roles that were entirely custom to this game.
