Yeah, just post it here Spak-Spang. Let others see it. It may inspire someone to run with it.

Ok...Here is your dose on inspiration.

The idea is to have 3 mafias battling it out. In a Smash Bros themed game the mafias could be different gaming worlds battling to see which game universe is the best.

The game would end not when all other mafia members and townie members are below a certain number, but will end immediately after there is only one mafia left. This is because there will be significantly less townies...and the idea is the mafias are battling each other and not townies. That is not to say voting will not be important though.

In this game the mafia who has night action is dependent on which mafia was hit in the last night action.

So if Mafia A killed a member of Mafia B in a night action, then Mafia B will get the next action. If a townie is killed then a random townie will be given the power of night action for revenge. But they must hit another mafia or be killed themselves. That means there is a vigilante role that can not be eliminated from the game until all townies are killed. So it is in the best interest to hit townies.

If no action to kill is taken then the host can randomly pick a mafia to townie to act.

So this creates an interesting flow of give and take to the game...and seeking revenge for actions.

Finally having an investigator is a give or take. For townies it could be a helpful power, but not necessary. With so many mafias it isn't going to be too hard to spot villains. However, it could help in trying to work together...so I guess I would leave it in.

Depending on how many players there are the mafia teams need to be at least 3 members each.

So a minimum game would be: 3 mafia 3 mafia 3 mafia 5 townies 14 people. If you got to 21 people you could plus the mafias 4, 4, 4, 8 townies

So, how would the townies win? Or is it a no-win game for townies?

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #853 on:** September 14, 2014, 04:24:01 AM »

You know you are right. I guess I have to continue the rule that if there are more townies then the game goes on.

Thanks Nickmitch…the likelihood of the townies being more dominate than the mafia is unlikely, but even still I have to accommodate for that chance.

So, same rules for Mafia and townies.

Could we maybe just have a good old-style mafia game?

If you want to host it. Host makes the rules.

ObbyDent · « **Reply #856 on:** October 28, 2014, 05:11:46 PM »

I've been wanting to do that for years. I could host it, I just need time to get it all planned out.

pokepal148 · « **Reply #857 on:** October 28, 2014, 09:43:20 PM »

Apparently people didn't like me hosting due to various problems on my end (it's almost like it's my first time although to be fair I probably should have at least specified for 'day ends around 12:00pm est'.)

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #858 on:** October 28, 2014, 09:51:24 PM »

You can't say "around." Might as well just say "The day ends when I damn well feel like it."

I don't remember the details, maybe khush might(?) but the one I hosted years back on my very terribly disorganized crappy website I would love nothing more than to put in the past, I think we pretty much just decided things on the fly the rules were very loose if I remember correctly plus I wasn't a very good moderator/host so I kind of got sloppy. I don't even remember everyone who played I think Shyguy, therperm maybe goldenpheonix, that dude from Australia whose name I forgot but we used to get into fights with all the time and not Rabicle the other one, and maybe Vudu but I think he hated me so I am not sure if he played or not. I can't remember who else played um some local friends I signed up to my forum but ended up taking over their accounts to try to keep it alive longer after I was the only one left posting.

Long story short, I would not make a good host for a mafia game.

This is actually giving me a great idea for an MLS-themed Mafia game where the rules are purposely opaque and made up as it goes along.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #861 on:** October 29, 2014, 01:42:00 AM »

Just like soccer!

Lolololololololol

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #862 on:** October 29, 2014, 01:47:19 AM »

This is all coming together in my head so perfectly, I really should do this game.

Ceric · « **Reply #863 on:** October 29, 2014, 10:57:42 AM »

A good mafia has clear rules so they can be played. I tried to hard to make my rules clear and to put some probability into the mix. Didn't help that I only had 1 Mafia member through most the game and the concept was designed around having all the Mafia players playing from the beginning.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #864 on:** October 29, 2014, 04:19:58 PM »

Alright, screw it, I'm having too many good ideas. I'm calling my own number. There should be a sign-up thread shortly.

some of these may interest you. the version of the Miller I used was the death one.

I am interested in reusing that same ruleset as before in the future for some fun times.

So... What's next?

pokepal148 · « **Reply #867 on:** January 29, 2015, 11:11:26 PM »

I have a little scheme running... I'm thinking based on the NWR forums... But I need to formulate some narrative type stuff first.

The ruleset will probably match the Something of the Daleks Ruleset. I'm considering adding a killer but I still want to see what would happen if both Mafia's got a kill each day so I want to think of a way to balance that aspect.

I plan to begin the game around the end of Febuary.

I shall call it: Mafia 65: NWR Forums Calvinball

I really want to host another mafia, but it will have to wait until a longer school break. We'll see what comes around this next year.

Townies get 2 kill 2 people a day?

Khushrenada · « **Reply #870 on:** February 02, 2015, 01:21:09 PM »

There's never a good time to host a mafia game really so, what the heck, I'll just host one now. I don't feel like dwelling too much on stories or trying to beat my Triple A New Leaf extravaganza game and will just go with a loose theme.

I am really not proud of how run Something of the Daleks turned out (outside of the day 3 original post, that was brilliant) and I'd like to give that ruleset and setting another go, partly so I can remove the first one out of the numbering scheme because screw you insanolord, the 64th mafia game on a Nintendo forum isn't going to be about soccer.

Mental Note: Hijack any future mafia game Pokepal makes to make it about soccer.

I'm pretty sure we already made it about Calvinball, and the rules say that once a game is Calvinball, it can never not be Calvinball.
