Title: Mafia XXVII: Mad Science. Sign-ups are closed!
Post by: Khushrenada on September 12, 2008, 10:53:53 AM
Muh hu ha ha. Velcome to ze vorld of szienze!
Why a mad scientist would talk like dracula I'll never know?
Anyway's the theme of the game is centered around the idea of crazy scientists and kooky inventions with a dash of..... murder. Bum bum buuuuuuuum.
Based off recent headlines, like The Large Hadron Collider and the new tv show Fringe, crazy science is in and I want to cash in on this new trend. And what better way to do than to rip off another idea.
Like the concept of the upcoming movie, Igor, the story will take place around a science competition but instead of an upstart brat trying to compete, this will be about a group of scientists who are willing to kill to win the grand prize. Of course, it's up to the other scientist to stop them and bring back honor to science competitions. Oh, and the grand prize they are competeing for is a Noble Peace Prize. What irony! How do I do it?
So, feel free to sign up and let your eccentric genius flow. Sign-ups run from today on to Saturday Sept. 20th.

I'm in as Overkill because I don't want to change my avatar. I've changed my mind and I'm switching to another character John Swartzwelder has written for, Professor John Frink.

What the hell? A Khush Hosted Mafia game again so soon.
Wow...well you know me.
Sign me up, and Vote me out, or something like that.

Whoa. Blast from the past! Zach is back! I thought you'd left us man.
Just when you thought you were out, mafia pulled you back in.
And to Spak-Spang. It shouldn't be a surprise. In anti-thatguy's (and yes, I will keep calling him that until he wises up and gets rid of the anti) thread, "Am I back?", I mentioned I was thinking about hosting back to back games. I also seem to get a surprising number of compliments for hosting a mafia game which is nice but it always surprises because it often seems there can be a bit of contraversy when I host sometimes.
But since last game went so smoothly and didn't burn me out too much, I figured I'd give it another crack.
Welcome aboard everyone who has signed up so far.

*Sniffle* You missed me!?!? I feel so loved!

Yeah I missed you. I hate to say this because it I may lose some of the respect points I've been gaining around these boards but I will anyways.
A few mafia games ago, on Spak's crisis on Dual Earth's, I suddenly found myself staring at the list of players and thinking to myself, who are these people? What happened to everyone? Thatguy, Zach, Blackfootsteps, Nuclearspeed and Sir_Stabbalot. All of you had just disappeared. Even semi-regulars like S-U-P-E-R, Pale, oohhboy, MysticGohan and decoyman weren't around.
And I began to feel a bit old. Like a star athlete who looks around the room and realizes the team is rebuilding, has unloaded a lot of star talent and is going with youth and rookies. And as I got voted out, I began to wonder if maybe it was time to retire also. With the old crowd gone, was the game still the same? And then I played a heck of a game in Mario Kart Mafia, proved I'm still a star player and moved on to hosting to show 'em how its done.
Yet again, when hosting, I looked up a lot of the players I knew who had disappeared and sent them invites to get 'em back in the game. And when I looked at your account and saw you hadn't logged in for months, I thought you weren't coming back and sadly, didn't send the invite. Forgive me.
But suddenly, a renaissance has occured on these forums. anti-thatguy's back, animecyberrat is coming back, bad example Wandering has left forever and know you're back. I wonder if we'll see the return of Infernal Monkey who has been lying low for some time. I'd even take Couchmonkey who has also disappeared through the mists of the forums. Still, one gets the feelings things will only go up from here.

Someone needs to drive a DeLorean through this game and do some Back-to-the-Future-inspired Mafia-ness. I'm afraid it won't be me (long story, only time for trolling these days), but I'll try and keep an eye on the action.

Yeah, I kno I just disappeared out of the blue, sorry bout that. I just started to get a little worn out and took a break for a while. So yesterday i came just for a peek, and I saw that I was just in time to sign up for a khush hosted mafia, so why not put the mafia hat back on.
Anyway, So that I do not arouse suspicion later on, I'm sure you guys are still doing "townie alliances." or whatever you youngin's call 'em these days. Anyway I'm gonna take this chance before the roles are handed out to tell you noobs not to immediately suspect me when I do not give up my role. If you want me to give up my role you will have to work very very very hard to earn my trust first. This prevents me from telling my good role to the mafia, or makes it sound plausible if I am lying to the townies.
In other words. Get used to these words "I am a townie." Khush could attest to this.

Recent events have made me change again, third time's the charm.
I can't think of a better choice than an eccentric genius with delusions of godhood that's responsible for billions of deaths and the near-extinction of the human race. Gaius Baltar is also perfect for Mafia because he is completely self-serving and will sell out every person he ever knew and several that he didn't if it will get him ahead.

I posted that sign-ups would run until this saturday. There are always a few people who sign-up near the end and by posting so far in advance maybe more will notice and have the chance to sign-up. In one day, we nearly equaled the amount of people who signed up for the last mafia. I figured we'd have 20 players by now but nothing's happened since.
I guess invites are the way to go. Plus, my invites contain blackmail so it helps. I wish I could meet the man who invented blackmail so that I could thank him and then blackmail him to show him who's boss.

Alright. So, with low turn-out, which shocks me, there are two ways to go about htis game. Crazy with zany roles ala Mafia 12, the one day mafia or very skeleton and serious with barely any roles.
Guess which way I'm going? That's right. Skeleton. Everyone knows how the game works and everyone playing is pretty much a pro with a few still honing their craft, I think we can go up to hard mode.
The roles are simple and will follow the Bond Mafia example. With Easycure out due to computer trouble (of which stevey is the prime suspect in order to claim Dr. Farnsworth as his character), the number of player is 12. The number of mafia will be 3. That means if everything goes perfect for the mafia, this game will end in 3 days.
To counteract that, the townies have one role or gadget, the truth serum. This is nothing more than the basic cop role, able to investigate daily. The twist is that the godfather cannot hide. Therefore, every day the truth serum is used, the investigator will have for sure located either a friend or foe, meaning that as the game goes on, a powerful townie alliance could emerge to spell the end of the mafia.
The mafia has no special beyond their ability to make a hit.
Now, for the twist. There's always a twist with me.
One of the biggest challenges in mafia is the days. When should they end and when should they begin? How do you make it fair for the international players. Often times, this game skews in favor of those who live on the west side of the Americas since they are often able to stay on until the end of the game and so can control what happens to that point.
Therefore, in order to allow everyone to have a chance to be able to affect a day's outcome and night actions, I propose that the day's end at 8 pm Eastern time. And then the next day begin an hour or so after. I think this should work for everyone playing and give them a chance to be on before the day ends.
We'll find out soon enough I'm sure.
So, there you have it. Any other details I feel need to be discussed I will bring to your attention. Roles will go out in an hour.
