Mafia 2.0 - Signup Time
« on: February 22, 2007, 11:38:15 PM »
Ok guys, since there was pretty much a thumbs down to my game idea, this will be a regular game of Mafia. I'll post roles in the next few days, but it will be largely based on numbers. So signup, and let me have some fun with this. You'll love it, guaranteed.

Gametime starts on the 5th of March, 0800 GMT. For future reference, this is 0300 local US time, 1700 local Toyko time. Voting will be done on a 24 hourly basis.

Signup below. I'll post the game info when I make it up - you guys should know what to expect. If not, just shoot me a message.

If you signed up and wish to change your account (for those who got behind the concept) just PM me. I can be subtle about it all.

The theme for this mafia game will be Politicians Versus Peons

Voting will occur each day, and mafia will be able to perform events "at night" - that is, the time after the vote is closed. So both sides must get their actions in before the close of voting each day.

Time to flesh out some roles then:

Working on current numbers, there will be a 3 person mafia.

George Dubya - The Godfather - for a Texan, he's a terrible shot. But he's got the power of the Coalition of the Willing and the UN to play with, so if he calls for a hit, it happens.

His role - calls in hits and can delegate responsibility each night to a member of his group (or take it himself). Hits occur on every even night, that is night 2, night 4, and so on.

Kofi Annan - The Investigator - he's a diplomat by trade, and by night he's also an investigator. While he may not be understandable to the West when he speaks, he knows more than you think.

His role - able to investigate people on odd nights. That is, night 1, night 3, and so on.

Tony Blair - The Doubter - while he was always a staunch advocate of Dubya, these days he's not sure that he's on the right track.

His role - at a time of his choosing, he will inform me of his alleigances. He can say whatever he wants before and after this, but once he makes up his mind then he cannot change his decision. If he chooses to side with the Peons, then the mafia cannot win until he is dead. I will only inform the people of his decision when one side wins.

Politicians Victory Conditions - the Politicians will win if any of their members are  alive while all Peons and Osama are killed.

Osama -  the Suicide Bomber - the mortal enemy of the West. But he has a weakness for British romantic comedies that only Tony Blair can exploit. Is not aligned with either the Politicians or the Peons.

His role - his death will sacrifice and other people depending on the way he is voted out.

If it is a public vote - then the last three people who voted for him will die as well.
If it is a mafia hit, then the person who called in the hit will die, unless it was Tony Blair, in which case only the bomber will die.

Osama Victory conditions - Osama will win if he can kill the remaining players, Peons or Politicians. Any survivors will void his victory.

Barack Obama - the Librarian - he's a vocal opponent of the reign of the Politicians and would love to see their rule dead and buried (much like the Politicians themselves).

His role - he can investigate a person each night.

Kevin Rudd - the Librarian-in-Training - while being aware of the Politicians and their issues, he is limited in what he can do to assist the peons. Maybe tomorrow he'll be able to save the world, but for today he's just some guy.

His role - he can investigate a person each night. However the information that he receives will always be incorrect. He will think that he is the Librarian.

Nelson Mandela - the Medic - for too long he's been on the road, speaking publicly about the tragedy of apartheid and the futility of violence and becoming a megastar in the process. And now it is time for him to rise again and assist the Peons in their battle against the Politicians.

His role - he can protect a person from death each night - public vote, mafia hit or suicide attempt. However he cannot protect Osama in the event of his death.

Peons Victory Conditions - the Peons will win if there are no remaining Politicians and Osama is dead.

I will build more roles into the game if more people sign up, but I think that's enough key roles for now. So get other people from here to signup and we'll make it into an even bigger game.

pick me!
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!

Bumping to highlight the roles

New roles planned:

Stephen Colbert will get the opportunity to guess someone's role each night. if he is correct, it gets annouced on the day after. Guesses will also be announced, but three wrong guesses will reveal Stephen's real name.

Boris Yeltsin is the peon's drunk. He's been very busy getting acquainted with his good friend vodka. But he's been involved with the Politicians in the past and so the media will be asking him about his distorted insights into the event. He can send me a message each night and it will be posted in its pure, unaltered form, on the next day.

Saddam Hussein is back from the grave. Well, after he dies that is. He receives his ability after he dies, and after that he becomes a vigilante. Saddam does not have to hit each night, but if he rests for two consecutive nights then the grave robbers will figure out the person who is leaving his grave late at night, taking justice into his own hands.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad  (Mr A to his groupies) is looking to take over the Politicians and dominate the Peons. Each night he can send me a person's name and a number from 1 to 6 From there, I will roll a dice and if he guesses right, that person is enlisted. If he is off by one (modulo 6) then the person targeted will be given a choice to join. Two successful recruitments and a new mafia will be formed. Until then, all people involved will have their roles kept secret. I will give out the roles of the new mafia group after that. He cannot recruit mafia members or Osama, these will simply fail without notification.

These won't appear until I get a good indicator that there will be 20 or more people. So get those signups in!

I'll be playing as "The American", as originally planned. I hope no one figures out it's me....

Update - the game will be postponed until a later date. I'm just too busy right now to be able to run this. Thanks to all of you who showed interest in this, and I'll hopefully bring a refined version of it to the Funhouse sooner rather than later.
