So what shall we do next?

We move on.

Indeed. There's always next game......

Stratos · « **Reply #778 on:** December 13, 2013, 12:32:49 PM »

I'd love to do another soon. I'd like to refine some of these ideas and expand them further. But I will let some other's go first unless no one steps up. A Spring Break game in April would be a good opening for me.

I'm thinking a 'The Mummy' theme.

First person to be voted out could have some powers in this game as the 'Ruler of the Dead' since "Death is only the beginning".

I'd like to do one as well. Let's ignore the fact that I signed up for hosting a while back and then when it actually came time to start, I just didn't post anything for the longest time until someone else took over.. Looking back on my old PMs is pretty embarrassing too.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #780 on:** December 13, 2013, 05:23:38 PM »

Ha ha. You weren't the first to pull that move. I was re-reading this thread from the beginning awhile ago and that seemed to happen a lot with people.

To get this forum back in action, I've put up spots for Mafia 61 - 65 for anyone who wishes to host and a spot to choose. If we do this monthly like we use to, then these would be the spots for the months:

Jan. 2014 - Mafia 61
Feb. 2014 - Mafia 62
Mar. 2014 - Mafia 63
Apr. 2014 - Mafia 64
May 2014 - Mafia 65

So, if there is a time you think you can handle the hosting duties, then call the game # for it. I've currently put Spak-Spang down for the Mafia 61 game but that is tentative like he requested.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #781 on:** December 13, 2013, 05:27:55 PM »

And with my mod powers restored, I'm not going to bother signing up to a host a game but will just play the role of fill-in. So if we are coming up to a game that no one has signed on to host and no one is stepping forward, then I'll take care of it. Or if there is a last minute cancellation and/or the host isn't showing up (like jrlibrarian just alluded to doing), then I'll step in there as well.

If I end up having to do it 3 times in a row, we will be moving away from the monthly format.

OK. deal. I can do January. BUT, it will be late January. Maybe 3rd week.

Stratos · « **Reply #783 on:** December 13, 2013, 06:24:57 PM »

Put me in for March. I'm willing to be a fill-in host as well. That can be my Mummy Mafia.

Mop it up, do you want to try co-hosting another Mafia Party game some time?

Probably be the best time for it with holiday's now upon us. After the first week people will be getting back into a routine and work and school and what not. So, best to have sign-ups begin on the second week (although no reason you can't have them earlier if you want) which would make the third week the perfect time to start anyways.

Well if we do that then it's only fitting that it be number 64!

Khushrenada · « **Reply #786 on:** December 13, 2013, 07:57:31 PM »

Whoever hosts Mafia 64 has a pretty big responsibility since that will be the first time this game is played in 3D!

Stratos · « **Reply #787 on:** December 13, 2013, 09:26:01 PM »

Spak, you should do one themed on Korean obsession with Starcraft. ;-)

So is a K-Mafia…and having super cheesy Korean themed mafia acceptable? Or is that out of the question?

Nevermind: My theme will be Godzilla Vs. The World.

Killer -Godzilla Role
Mafia - Monsters from the Godzilla universe
Townies - People
Townie Roles:
Team of Scientists: One player. Investigator
Earth Defense Force: One Player: Vigilante
Japanese Children: One Player: If Monster kills children, then they are exposed for vengeance.

Ha. I just watched the trailer for the new Godzilla movie. I so love this idea.

Mechagodzilla! King Ghodorah! Mothra? King Kong?! I can't wait to see this one in action!

Silenced · « **Reply #789 on:** December 13, 2013, 10:08:01 PM »

I'm ready to play whenever.

In terms of hosting, I need to actually win a good game so I can redeem myself.

Stratos · « **Reply #790 on:** December 14, 2013, 01:30:33 PM »

I think that could be adapted slightly for broader consumption. And the Mafia sub-forum technically was an offshoot of the Funhouse so I think the extra leeway in the name of humor carries over as well.

Those roles make sense even in a western view. Students are very much un-knowledgeable of the outside world. They (most of them) live in a sheltered bubble and then go through a huge shock when the real world takes over post-college. I know, I was one of them.

And many other cultures give power, authority and 'discretion' to a matriarchal woman. And, yes, I see the undertones of what you are implying there.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #791 on:** December 16, 2013, 02:49:18 AM »

OK. I am going to be doing a Godzilla themed Mafia.

I posted my initial ideas, that were more or less basic Mafia game rules. However, Godzilla is a pretty awesome theme, and I am willing to balance ideas and great the best game possible.

I don't think I can live up to my Crisis Mafia again...that was a once in a life time idea...good or bad, it felt special to me. So, I am asking for help and ideas.

Right now I am just thinking about tweaking roles and giving them slight twists.

What are your thoughts?

Plugabugz · « **Reply #792 on:** December 16, 2013, 03:27:37 PM »

So we have a Mario Party Mafia 64 AND a Mario Kart Mafia 64 coming soon?

I've not put my name down yet but i will do in 2014.

Right now you haven't mentioned any tweaks so it is hard to give any opinion on something not mentioned. Unless you are asking us for suggestions about tweaks. If so, the one idea that pops up in my mind is how Godzilla will often appear to fight whatever monster and at first, he'll seem to be beaten. But then he roars back and takes down the other monster. Thus, you may give the Godzilla role an ability to deflect a hit or vote out as if he's being beaten down and then roars back into the fight.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #794 on:** December 17, 2013, 06:34:18 PM »

Fair. OK, I will post my character ideas and how they play. Then I will ask for suggestions.

I have a couple ideas. I don't think they will all work. In fact, one of my ideas I am thinking of now, seems to definitely be unbalanced. But it could work, in the game.

Silenced · « **Reply #795 on:** December 17, 2013, 09:08:54 PM »

Yikes. I hope the town gets some powers to counter all of this.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #796 on:** December 17, 2013, 09:24:37 PM »

Silenced: It is all in the discussion phase.

Another thing I forgot to mention.

The Killer can win by keeping both twins alive and elminiating the mafia/monsters, and EDF.

To balance, I am thinking Scientists and EDF once they die, another townie can take their place randomly....so for the townies. They do not lose their roles too easily.

Stratos · « **Reply #797 on:** January 02, 2014, 11:44:33 PM »

I thought we did the signups in the Funhouse for better visibility.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #798 on:** January 02, 2014, 11:52:32 PM »

We've done sign-ups in the funhouse because usually whoever is hosting the game doesn't have the mod ability earlier enough to post it in the funhouse. Plus, the idea to change the name of the forum and further advertise new sign-ups has been in existence since this forum started but it has yet to be done because most mods aren't interesting in doing that busy work and have let sign-ups just stay in the funhouse on the belief they are more visible. These days, I don't know how many people even use the funhouse. When I invited Pixpix to play last game, he came to this forum and signed up in this thread. It just seems there are less eyes going to the Funhouse. If you want more visibility, you are probably better putting it in General Chat quite frankly.

That said, you could post a reminder notice in the funhouse directing people to this forum if people are worried that sign-ups here would get missed.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #799 on:** January 04, 2014, 09:19:31 PM »

I made Spak-Spang a mod in the mafia forum and changed its name to reflect the game, then spun off his signup post into it's own thread.
