Star Fox Mafia (interest thread)
« on: September 16, 2006, 05:11:11 PM »
Because I can't let a good idea die, I'd like to lay out what I'm planning for a future mafia game. If you like what you see, post here to say that you'd be interested. If enough people are interested, the game will happen at some point (several people are already lined up to host, so it'd happen after those games.) So, without further ado, I present:





With the Lylat system at peace and no new missions forthcoming, the Star Fox team was taking a much needed break. Fox was relaxing on Sauria when he got a distress call from Slippy....



Fox quickly shared the news with the rest of the team, and General Pepper.













And so Fox, Falco, and Krystal boarded the Great Fox 2 and made their way to the Lonely Hearts Inn, a vacation satellite orbiting Cornaria. Soon after their arrival, the following message was sent:

"Report to General Pepper from Fox McCloud:

Outside communication has been cut off, but we finally managed to get a message through. We've made it to the Inn, and Slippy and everyone else is okay. But the situation is far worse than we thought - Star Wolf is being lead by Andross, and he's here on the satellite! To make matters worse, he's flooded the corridors with deadly gas. My team, every vacationer, and me are trapped in our individual rooms - the only places that are safe from the gas.

We're going to try and take care of Andross and Star Wolf - we know they're trapped in their rooms too, so it'll be a piece of cake for R.O.B. to drop bombs on their locations. The only problem is - we've checked the guest list, and they aren't on it. Which means there are four traitors on board who are hiding and protecting the bad guys in their rooms, and we don't know who they are.

It isn't all bad, though. Each room is equipped with a powerful Ultra 64 computer, and I can talk with everyone on the satellite over the Ultra 64 network. We've decided that everyone will vote on who the traitors are. Whoever the vacationers decide is a bad guy, will be blown up. It'll be tricky, because the traitors will be able to vote too, and Andross and Star Wolf will be able to monkey around with us as well. But it's our only option. I hope no innocent people are killed.

Fox Out."






The bad guys taunt Fox and company by day, and kill by night.

Andross - BlackNMild. Kills one vacationer every night. If he dies, he gets to choose a successor. Has the power to make the traitor who is protecting him appear like an innocent vacationer to the investigator.
Wolf O' Donnel - Blackfootsteps.
Leon Powalski - Mario.
Panther Caroso - Mystic Gohan.




The traitors - each one is hiding a separate bad guy. If a traitor is voted out, both the traitor and the bad guy he is protecting dies.




Fox McCloud - while better known as a fighter pilot, Fox is also a skilled investigator. He can determine the role of one person each night.




The Doctor - There is a Cornarian army doctor on board, identity unknown. He can protect one person every night.


And finally, there are the innocent vacationers.





The Ultra 64 network is divided into three sections, or "threads":

-Open channel: Discuss goings-on here.
-Voting booth: Vote for who you suspect here.
-Slippy's Updates: See the results of votes, and who the bad guys have killed, here.

Every day, you vote for you suspect is hiding a bad guy in the "Voting Booth" thread. Everyone can vote, including people with roles. Every night, the bad guys can kill one person, Fox can investigate one person, and the doctor can protect one person (via pms).

You can lie, claim whatever you want, and even reveal your role. However, you are not allowed to quote or show screenshots of pms. While alive, you most post in a mafia thread at least once every 2 days. While dead, you must not participate in the game in any way.

Before the game starts, you can choose to play as any character in the Star Fox universe, and I will pm you an appropriate avatar in addition to your role.




Anyone interested?

I'd go for it but of course I like playing mafia. However, you do seem to have put alot of thought into it so that adds to my wanting to join. Plus, Wandering is a hero right now, so that adds to the appeal. My only concern is that there are not alot of Star Fox characters to choose from.

Yes, what an idea. The only undefeated mafia reunited again... I like it. Plus Wolf O'Donnell is my favourite Star Fox character ever.

Thanks to those who've responded. I'm hoping this game will be my "Fievel Goes West" to Mafia IV's "American Tail."

Sure. The dead guys just can't post in the regular threads or reveal information. The usual stuff.

That's why I tried not to use up characters on special roles. There should be enough, but stragglers might have to use crappy side characters from Adventures...

Question. Will the cool comic-book-looking-character-story-blocks be at the beginning of each day?

Question. I'm not a huge Starfox fan, will I be confused if I play?

Question. Was that language at the beginning of StarFox Adventures French? Cause it sounded kinda French. French-ish.

Question. Did you know you could probably host the next mafai game. I'm pretty sure in that old thread where people discussed hosting mafia games, I was the last to say I wanted to host, so I think the next game is open to anyone.

Question. Does Shyguy ask a lot of questions?

Question. Do I?

Currently, the plan is to hear from just Slippy at the beginning of each day. (Thus, Slippy's Updates.) I could probably deliver his dialog in that same style....

Probably not. I managed well enough with Final Fight or whatever. Or at least, I think I did...

Dinosaurs that speak French? That wouldn't make sense at all!

Yes, but I've already hosted one, so it wouldn't really be fair.

Story sounds good enough.

As for the gameplay, I have a question.

What's that mean?  Is it just a normal, four person mafia team or are there actually eight members (four mafia, four traitors)?  If it's the former, (which I think it probably is), it sounds like a pretty typical straight-up mafia game (which I like).
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

It is essentially a straight-up 4 person mafia team....but there are, in fact, eight bad guy roles. They're just doubled up, like Mario Kart: Double Dash. BlackNMild, Mario, Blackfootsteps, and Mystic Gohan (should they choose to play) are the ones who do the night killings. But their fate is tied to a group of four people, who are the ones you're actually trying to vote out.

Apart from that twist, this is probably the most plain jain vanilla game yet.

Oh no, I was thinking the great Leon was someone else for some reason. He's already taken, unless mario or another one of the four decide not to play. There's a chance you'll get to protect Leon and do his bidding, though...

I'll let you be the Great Fox. Since the team is using the Great Fox 2, we'll pretend the original has become an autonomous robot or something.

As for R.O.B., I was kind of thinking of reserving that role for myself (and using him for updates, instead of Slippy.) He's outside the sattelite and it wouldn't make sense for a player to be him, anyway. If somebody really wanted to play as him, though, I suppose I could allow it...

Wait, this game sounds boring.  If you're mafia, everyone knows it, so there's no point in trying to hide your identity.  And if you're one of the traitors, you don't get to kill anyone at night, so it's also boring.  And it's not like you can even work together to bring the blue sparks.  This game is flawed.

I like the basic idea but naming the mafia at the start is stupid and take the fun out of it. A better idea is going back to other winning mafias player and pick them to be mafia but not tell anyone which one were and pick the winning townie to be on the townie side with super townie roles so the mafia can get back at the one who killed them. ...

Edit:
DANM YOU WANDERING! YOU DELETED MY LIST OF WINNERS FROM MAFIA 8!  

Edit2:Made a new list

Mafia 9 Stevey, Stabby, TVMan, Garnee, Dasmos (townies) win
Mafia 8 pyro/NuclearSpeed (townies) win
Mafia 7 Dash mafia kill all (Cheating doctor!)
Mafia 666 everyone dies
Mafia 5 Townies (typ/crash cheated though)
Mafia 4 Werewolves win
Mafia 3 Breakyboy and TVMan (townies) Win
Mafia 2 everyone dies
Mafia 1 Townies won

I think you may be surprised. The townies have never been face-to-face with the people that were killing them before. I'm not sure what the mafia well do, but I think it'll be very interesting.

As for the traitors, I think it'll feel, to them, like they're on an eight-person mafia team. After all, in a regular mafia game, only one person has the power to kill at any one time.

I have been thinking about putting back in a few ideas that I've dropped, though, which might make things less 'boring'. Originally, the mafia was going to alternate their kills (andross kills on day one, star wolf on day 2, etc.) And, the traitors were going to have special powers (ala mafia IV) to compensate for the fact that they couldn't kill.

I tend to think secret roles shouldn't have a pattern to them.

Oh, as for your old post - heh heh. Um. I actually have those posts saved, and I've been meaning to ask a mod to restore them....

Uhhh, everyone realizes that this isn't the next mafia game right? I'm thinking at this point though Wandering, you may want to host the next game. No one has really stepped up with saying they want to do it. (At least not yet. Frankly, depending on how my hosting goes, it might be something I wouldn't mind doing regularly but that's for another day.) So maybe, this should be shelved for the moment. I do have a couple questions. Maybe it's something that was answered already and I just forgot it and don't want to look back now.

1. Can the known mafia vote or is it the traitors only?

2. Can the known mafia talk to the other players or are they silent killers only?

3. Am I still asking too many questions?


And now a message to:

STEVEY

Hey man, quit taking away my victory. I've let it slide for awhile because I thought you might have been upset about the outcome but it's clear now you actually think it's how it happened. Mafia 666 as you call it, was a mafia victory that Knowsnothing (ahhh, Knowsnothing, we made a great team) and I worked hard to get. The Bomber's assistant wasn't a real role, just a plot device that Bill explained. Bill even confirmed that it was a Mafia win for the foxes. So please, stop taking away our victory. Speaking of which, that means that MattVDB won two games in a rowas mafia. He was part of our mafia, though he died earlier. And in Pale's game, he was part of the Dash mafia and won the game when he succesfully recruited Zach. So, yeah. When you refer to Mafia 6, I respectfully ask that post it as it was. A mafia win. I happened to be the last Mafia standing, with Athrun Zala, the only townie left.
Whoever said, "Cheaters never win" must've never met Khushrenada.

Sorry for stepping on your toes a bit. I honestly didn't think anybody was interested in me hosting again, so I didn't want to just jump in after your game and say 'hey guys! sign-ups for my new game!'

I...hmm. I think once you post the sign-ups for your game (weren't you planning on doing that this weekend?), interest will shift, and a bunch of people will sign up. But, if you'd rather I go first, I can. I really want whatever you want to happen, to happen.

That's right Khush, two strait wins for me.    Anyway, I've been away and haven't been able to play Mafia with ya'all these past two times, and I really want to get back at it.  I'm totally down with StarFox Mafia, as well as whatever Khush may have planned.  However scary that may be.
