thema devia - mafia?

[Thermal]

i'd prefer it if this was'nt moved, so many people who seems to like these kind of things, including myself visit this thread, instead of another it may be moved to that no one ever looks at....

can anyone play mafia games here?
its a game simply by just posting,
if you no how to play would you be interested in one being set up?
if you dont no how to play, but have time would you like to no how to play?

i will keep this post running for 1 week, with a poll, the results pretty much decide the outcome!

(confused? dont worry, ill explain it later on)

[Ummagumma]

You do know there is a Mafia subforum in the Coliseum?

You do know there is a Mafia subforum in the Coliseum?

yes, one that is barely posted in, and one im not allowed to post in, thats why im trying to 're-activate the mafia scene'

[Ummagumma]

Oh, ok. I wasn't sure from your first post if you knew it was there..

Carry on.

[Aldgarkalaughskel]

Zombie, I think you should PM Jubal_Barca to give you posting rights if you're active, meanwhile fire up a recruitment thread in the Coliseum as well. As soon as we have 7 members, we're ready to go.

How does this work? It looks interesting, but I'd like a lowdown

the link power wizard gave is very useful, though from playing at the org, more often than not rules are a little different, i was thinking of a 12-15 player game, the things im thinking of having are:

-a theme- i.e: a mafia based on a cartoon, tv show, or something else
-more than 7 players, there fore more townies, perhaps still 2 mafia, aswell as other roles
-i would abolish this strange 'need over half the votes to lynch' rule, instead whoever gets the most votes, even if it isnt over half
-every character would get somekind of ability of somesort, no matter how small it may seem
- would probably drop hints in my write ups on the murders and lynches

(ill post up rules for those that want to no how to play)

[Thermal]

from the few mafia games ive played myself, these are the general rules, i think....


there are two sides, good (townie) and bad (mafia), in most cases, if your given the role of a townie, your objective is to root out and kill the mafia, if your a mafia guy, then your objective is to kill off all townies

-there are always more townies than mafia members on any normal game

this is a game done completely by posting, i emphasise posting, you dont need any game for it

there is a day phase, 24 hours usally, where the lynches take place, once you've decided who you think the mafia is, vote for the person in this manner vote: zombie smuggler the night phase comes straignt after where the mafia send the host a pm saying who they want to elminate that night, and in the morning that person will be destroyed, unless they have a special ability that allows them to survive, in this case the dead cant reveal there character role and can only post in the thread in uninfluencial ways, once dead, you obviously cant vote to lynch or kill anyone
once the mafia theme has been set up and were ready to play, the host will send out private messages to every player telling them there role, there alignment (good or bad) and there special ability, if they have one, so check your message boxes at the game beginnings!

for example, if it was based on medieval perhaps, the possible characters for a 15 players game could be:
king henry of england
king Phillip of france
King Alonso of spain
King Knud of denmark
Kaiser Otto of the HRE
Emperor basileus of the byzantines
Emperor Mozuacta of the Aztecs
Sultan Ql-Quasir of the seljuks
Sultan Tangier of the egyptians
Sultan el' Taiq of the moors
Grand Duke Stalin of russia
Khan Timur of the timurids
Khan Yalbat of the mongols
Count Catalano of Milan
Pope Gregory of the papal states

the mafia could be the mongols and timurids for example, there objective to destroy other factions, the 'townie' equilant would be all other factions in an effort to find out who the khans representatives are

this is a typical pm i'd send you to tell you you were a mafia (in this case mongols)

'your faction is the mongols, your alignment is baddies/mafia, your objective is to wipe out eupeanian contents! along side your timurid brothers!
you will be able to destroy a nation once a night! every night phase send me the nations name you want to destroy, and with any luck you'll have conquered them!'

all mafia have to do is kill the right people, and remain unknown, you can lie about your role, but admitting your mafia is suicidal , all townies have to do is look for clues, try to find a mafia and convince everyone to vote for them, while hoping you dont get killed!

the winners are announced when a certain side kill the other side off, only the host knows the game details, but they obvious cant take part, which makes it nice to sit back, relax, and watch the chaos!

i no there was alot here, if unclear in parts, dont hesitate to say and ill re explain, beleive me, it really isnt complicated to play, even if it sounds it, i still quite new to mafia, and its easy to pick up

[molonthegreat]

Yeah that's about it and you can also look in the mafia subforum there are there some good examples of previous games.

In the past, many of these sorts of forum games have been closed. It's been discussed in the Q&S, and I think it's a sticky issue. On the one hand, you don't want lots of spam; on the other, it's an established forum tradition. I'll ask around...
