Cupboard Posted June 3, 2014 Anyone willing to participate in a 3rd Mafia game? A dozen people would be good. Following the path of the first and second. I plan to monitor this topic for a week (7+ days) to see if anyone wants to play again. Fresh faces will help shake things up, even if you might be a new player. The basic idea is there are 2 teams: pro-town and anti-town. Both teams vote and discuss during the Day who they will vote to lynch (i.e. remove from the game, dead). In order to lynch a player, the whole group must decide by simple majority (51% or greater). Then everyone goes to sleep and players with secret roles send the game host (me) a private message saying how they will use their power. At the end of every Night, the anti-town Mafia send me a message saying who they have decided to kill. Then they go back to sleep and the next Day, the whole group gets back together and the game host says what happened during the Night (usually someone is killed and news is revealed). Then the lynch process begins again. It is a soft rule that you can't reveal your role, but if you think it's necessary, you may claim a role, lie about a role, guess another person's role, or lie about another person's role. No game discussions are permitted outside this thread besides those players who have a special power. The Town wins if all Mafia are killed. The Mafia wins if the Town is killed or neutralized by the voting process. A lynch vote looks like this: vote TheCupboard Go ahead, ask questions and please sign up (again if you are experienced).

Cacatou Posted June 3, 2014 Sign me up too. EDIT: Btw can the Mafia communicate using PM? 0 Share this post Link to post
Cupboard Posted June 3, 2014 Cacatou said:Btw can the Mafia communicate using PM? Mafia players are allowed to communicate during the Night phase via PM. No other players are allowed to communicate during Day or Night, or else risk exposing their role to a possible Mafia agent. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kirby Posted June 3, 2014 Oh heck I can't stay away. Count me in. I'll just have to avoid reading too much into people's dreams this time -_- 0 Share this post Link to post
Krispy Posted June 3, 2014 Count my sexy ass in. I've learned the trick is not to act the part of a mafia goon. (But it's fun, so who knows, maybe I'll make the same mistake again.) 0 Share this post Link to post
RUSH Posted June 3, 2014 Never played this before but after spectating the last couple games I'll try it. Count me in. 0 Share this post Link to post

flubbernugget Posted June 4, 2014 I'm in. What roles do we have this time around? Also, if anybody is really interested in this whole mafia thing they should head to epicmafia.com. It's mafia in a basic chat room. Allegedly you can also use webcams to try and read body language but I've never played a game in that manner. It's different from the form fourm game in that it is a lot faster, uses more hard logic than suspicions and tells, and also has a lot more roles, often far more complex than the ones seen here. Don't be afraid to ask questions as long as you've at least skimmed the wiki a little bit. Yeah, some people are gonna be douches to the new guy but most aren't. Hope to see a few of you guys around there soon. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scripten Posted June 4, 2014 I'm in! @flubbernugget: I've played Mafia here and on the Bay 12 forums. I was hoping to join a game on mafiascum, but they went down and there's been no newbie game in a while. The one on Bay 12 was ruined by inactivity and one particularly argumentative player who didn't want to follow rules. 0 Share this post Link to post

Cupboard Posted June 4, 2014 In the past I have made self-protection only successful some of the times. This time around I will allow it, though I don't want it to lead to a narrow-minded strategy. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cupboard Posted June 5, 2014 Last call for sign-ups! Right now I am typing up a PM message to everyone in a text file before I send them out so I can copy paste it quickly. I also am working out the game balance. If we get more people I might be able to add a 3rd faction, so we'll see how it goes... 0 Share this post Link to post

Cupboard Posted June 5, 2014 All PMs containing character roles have been sent. Keep your character info private! You never know who is out to get you. There are 14 players. 3 Mafia with Night-kill ability (must be unanimous, 1 kill for the team) + lynch vote 1 Doctor with Night-protect ability, + lynch vote 1 Detective with Night-investigation ability, + lynch vote 1 Insomniac with Night-watch ability and partial protection if 1 Mafia player left alive, + lynch vote 1 Vigilante with Night-kill ability (works once only), + lynch vote 1 Bulletproof Townsperson with ability to resist being Night-killed by another player (works once; does not protect against lynch), + lynch vote 1 Psychopath with wildcard ability: Night-investigation, Night-protection, Night-role-block, Night-kill, + lynch vote 1 Negotiator with a Daytime ability to have his vote count double in lynch process 4 Townspeople with no abilities besides lynch vote Reply to the PM I sent you with confirmation so we can get this show on the road. :) 3 anti-Town players (Mafia) vs 11 pro-Town (Doctor, Detective, Insomniac, Vigilante, Bulletproof, Psychopath, Negotiator, Townies) players. Make sense? 0 Share this post Link to post
CorSair Posted June 5, 2014 14? And 3 Mafia, along with load of interesting townsfolk traits? This is gonna get exciting. 0 Share this post Link to post
Clonehunter Posted June 5, 2014 Huh, some new roles here. Should be interesting. How does the Negotiator work? He can just up and say "Two Votes for X"? 0 Share this post Link to post
Cupboard Posted June 6, 2014 Negotiator's double vote power will remain a secret and unreported in the official Lynch Tally that I post periodically. The only thing that tells which vote wagon the Negotiator is on is if the Narrator says that a lynch happened with 1 vote less than the mandatory minimum. No one will really know who was responsible for making it 1 vote easier to lynch. So if the mandatory minimum to lynch is 8 votes, and 7 people have voted for a single person ALONG WITH the Negotiator who managed to slip their vote in somewhere, then lynch will proceed faster than might be expected. If the Negotiator is on your side, the process can be expedited. If the Negotiator is not on your side, it may take the ordinary amount of votes to lynch. _________________ DAY 1 begins, denizens of Doomworld. The scum have returned to Doomworld and in greater numbers. Who among you are responsbile for all these spambots, 1994 wads, troll accounts, and sex-discussion threads? While it may seem like we are in a downward spiral, we are not yet in absolute free-fall. As far as you know, everyone around you claims to be a Townsperson of Doomworld. In fact, there are 3 murderous Mafia agents plotting against you. 4 of you really are vanilla Townspeople, 1 protective Doctor, 1 discerning Detective, 1 unpredictable Psychopath, 1 convincing Negotiator, 1 Bulletproof Townsperson, 1 vigilant Insomniac, and 1 trigger-happy Vigilante. Everyone's role is a secret until they are murdered or lynched by the Town. Who among you is responsible for this villainy? You may begin DAY 1's discussions at your leisure. Just because you don't have a lot of information right now doesn't mean you can't lynch someone on DAY 1. What you do know is your own character role and the names of all other players as written in the original post. 12/14 players have confirmed that means we can start playing! It takes 8 votes to lynch. Please write all votes in bold text. Lynch Tally undecided: all Townspeople 0 Share this post Link to post
RUSH Posted June 6, 2014 Hmm... someone using a wall texture depicting tormented souls as their forum avatar? Seems devilishly suspicious to me. Despite not knowing anything yet, I vote Doominator2. 0 Share this post Link to post
Clonehunter Posted June 6, 2014 I have no idea yet, but Vote Rush to move this along already. Taking people out based on their torture porn fetish? You don't have to be mafia to enjoy some good ball whacking. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted June 6, 2014 Some interesting new roles, and potentially another killer in our midst. Not knowing who to start with I turned to the integer generator at Random.org for advice. Vote Clonehunter 0 Share this post Link to post
Kirby Posted June 6, 2014 Vote Rush A new day, a new vote. 12 players confirmed looks good to me. What say ye, Rush? Blue lost souls do not exist in Doom. Perhaps you are an infiltrator and not a lover of Doom? 0 Share this post Link to post
