Mafia - Forum game

[iviv]

Back by popular demand, signups are now open for mafia game 5! I will be borrowing some ideas from JeditOjanens game, but trying to keep things simpler. We will need 13 players to start, and signups will be first come, first serve.

I would be looking at having a mixture from the following list:

Cop (And 1-shot cop) - Investigate a player at night
Doctor (And 1-shot doctor) - Protects a player from night kills
Vigilante (And 1 shot vigilante) - May kill a player at night
Innocent Child - Is revealed as a town player from the start
Mason - Masons are allowed to communicate at night. All masons are town aligned.
Roleblocker (And 1 shot roleblocker) - Can be town or scum aligned, can block a player's role from happening. This includes night kills if you target the correct player.
Godfather - Scum who appears innocent to cop investigations
Serial Killer - Not town or scum. May kill 1 player each night, wins if they are the last player alive, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

Hopefully this would prove to be a manageable selection of different roles without being an information overload. There may be multiple of some roles and none of others.

Other things to note, mafia will only be able to communicate at night, I'm not personally a fan of letting them constantly talk. It forces them to make optimal use of the night to make plans. Plus if everyone was gathered in a group and pointing fingers at each other, two people going off to have a little chat would look rather obvious!

Any questions? Comments?

Right, that's 8 so far plus one reserve. Still after a few more, don't be shy!

 

[iviv]

Hmm, we'll see. However I still feel that giving the scum day talk makes them even more powerful, something which isn't really needed given they won all but the last game.

 

[iviv]

Come on people, we need more than this! Don't worry if you've never played before, there's always room for newbies! They only way to get better is to take part!

 

[iviv]

Hello, I'm still here! Will try and send out an email to everyone who has taken part in a game/shown interest in playing, see if we can get another game going. Sorry for the recent silence!

 

[iviv]

Right, we have 5 people signed up so far in this thread, and I just sent trust messages out to 11 more people who posted in the last few pages, so hopefully we get some good responses!

 

[iviv]

Never got a message - but you can count me in!

I couldn't message you since you've not configured your Trust yet. Just hit the trust button at the bottom of one of your posts and that will let other users email you (You'll need this set up to play so I can mail out roles and so on!)

We're currently up to 9 players now, will start looking into what classes we'll play with.

 

[iviv]

Awesome, I'll post a confirmed list when I'm back home. Aiming for a 13 player game again.

 

[iviv]

Right, the current player list is:
The Malteser
Brabbinho
Pudney
K1llsw1tch
Jaystation
Shamikebab
Egon
Leprechaun213
Fortyseven

with JeditOjanen as a reserve. That puts at us 9 + 1 reserve currently.

 

[iviv]

You've missed Chris off your list

Good catch!

 

[iviv]

Is there any real demand for this now? I know that a few of us put our name down but there hasn't been any activity since, I didn't get a trust email either.

Check up a couple of posts

We don't seem to be getting any more, so rather than drag it out any more I've got a few 9 player options we can go for.

So, we'll play with the following players:
The Malteser
Brabbinho
Pudney
K1llsw1tch
Jaystation
Shamikebab
Egon
Leprechaun213
Fortyseven


We will be playing with the following roles:
2 mafia
5 townies
1 jailkeeper - Targets a player, they are protected from being nightkilled, they are unable to carry out any night actions
1 Tracker - They target a player, and see who that player targeted that night (if anyone)

Game will start tomorrow at 10pm, I'll send roles out and start the thread between 9 and 10 tomorrow evening.

 

[iviv]

Sure, no problem. Given it's the weekend I'll try and start it Friday at 10pm and give a deadline of Tuesday at 10pm, so allowing extra time since it's the first day and a weekend.

Check the first post there, the rules will be pretty much the same, though I'll post them in the new game thread as well when I make it.

 

[iviv]

We will start Friday evening, and everyone will have their roles mailed out to them that evening.

 

[iviv]

Usually yes, but I add 24 hours for the first day and an extra 24 hours some it's going over a weekend, so it will go to Tuesday at 10pm

 

[iviv]

So, my new computer may possibly have arrived yesterday causing me to completely forget about starting this game...
It'll start at 10pm tonight, for sure! Emails will be going out within the next couple of hours, first day will end at 10pm Wednesday evening.

 

[iviv]

4790k, new mobo and a 290 to go with it. Such a difference from my old 1055T!

 

[iviv]

Whoops, despite it being pointed out to me last page, I missed chriscubed off my list, so we're actually at 10. Unfortunately even numbers are terrible so we can't really play until we get one more player, or someone volunteers to drop out for the game.

Sorry!

 

[iviv]

I'll drop out.

You sure?

 

[iviv]

Messages all sent out now. If you haven't received yours, drop me a trust. I'll be getting the game thread up in a couple of hours.
