I can take the April one. I'll get a setup together. Do you guys have anything against closed setups (where roles are not known except to those that have them)?

Isn't that like any mafia game. If you have a role, you get a pm. If you don't have a role, you don't know who does. Are you saying the mafia wouldn't know each other?

Silenced · « **Reply #902 on:** March 25, 2015, 01:30:09 PM »

The roles aren't shown in the set-up post, so people don't know what special roles are in play.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #903 on:** March 25, 2015, 03:04:34 PM »

Hmm. That could be interesting. My only concern is that it could just lead to random bandwagons because no one is sure what they are looking for. Give it a shot if you really want to do that. If the game can survive Pokepal148 hosting it twice, I doubt this would kill it off.

Well the thing is is that people are still allowed to claim and all that jazz. But the roles will never be known for certain until the player is killed. Only the players themselves will truly know. The mafia can also divulge their unique talents to each other.

That part I already saw the potential of. The only thing I'm leery of is not knowing the full amount of mafia members. One doesn't even have to know the roles but that alone helps.

EDIT: I've put you down as the Mafia 67 host. Do you know when about in April you'd like to do it?

Silenced · « **Reply #906 on:** March 25, 2015, 04:04:04 PM »

I can adjust it so the number of mafia are known. Given our typical player count I doubt it will exceed 5 at the most.

I can start sign-ups ASAP, and they can extend through the end of this month and into mid-April if need be.

Mop it up · « **Reply #907 on:** March 25, 2015, 05:07:06 PM »

I don't know if it's a good idea to run signups for too long. If it's longer than a week, then I tend to forget about the game, like what happened with this previous game.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #908 on:** March 25, 2015, 05:22:57 PM »

Well, I ask because I'm trying to alternate between Mafia games and Safe Word games. Now that the mafia game is over, I've got sign-ups going for Safe Words 3. That will probably take a couple weeks so if you had a start date of Apr. 13, it would probably work out well. You can have sign-ups the week ahead of that. Unless you want the game later in the month. That would work too. It's why I was asking just to give it a bit of time and not have it at the beginning of the month.

Silenced · « **Reply #909 on:** March 25, 2015, 05:56:01 PM »

Alright, the 13th can work. I'm down for that.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #910 on:** March 26, 2015, 12:28:02 AM »

I like the idea of mystery roles. I think it is pretty clever. However, I think some balance needs to established.

I think giving us the number of townies, townie roles, and Mafia members would help create a framework for the game. And it will help make the game more playable.

y we no console wars mafia?
three mafias, Nintendo, Sony and microsoft while Sega is the paranoid serial killer?

Khushrenada · « **Reply #912 on:** March 30, 2015, 10:09:13 AM »

It was sort of done way back in Mafia 5.

Wah · « **Reply #913 on:** March 31, 2015, 12:04:29 AM »

do it again!

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #914 on:** March 31, 2015, 09:49:09 PM »

Console Wars Mafia 2015

Mafias: Microsoft and Sony (Sony gets 1 more mafia member than Microsoft, but Microsoft can hit first)
Ghost Mafia: Nintendo: If Nintendo (Godfather single player) kills the Godfather of Microsoft or Sony then it becomes the head of that mafia and the remaining mafia players become Nintendo

Townies: Fanbois
Roles: NWR Writer: Investigator
gamestop Employee: Vote changer
Console Collector: Doctor
PC Master Race Fanboi: Killer

There you go. Ready made theme, with 3 mafias.

EDIT:

Forgot Ghost Mafia Rule. Nintendo can make a hit everyday, but only succeeds if he targets a Godfather. Otherwise, the hit does not kill anyone. If Nintendo kills Godfather, then they become the new head and can perform normal hits.

Other Mafias rotate Day 1 Day 2 Day 1 Day 2 Hits.

It would be funny if SEGA was the killer tho.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #916 on:** March 31, 2015, 10:35:42 PM »

Sega: Suicide Role: Sega can kill himself during the game. If Sega kills himself the players that voted before and after Sega's vote are killed also.

Silenced · « **Reply #917 on:** March 31, 2015, 10:45:58 PM »

Alternatively, SEGA can kill himself during the game. Nothing happens, but people host a funeral and remember the good ol' days of SA2.

Me and spak's Idea is amazing Khush, Let's do this!

I want credit for idea tho.

Silenced · « **Reply #919 on:** March 31, 2015, 11:00:56 PM »

My gripe with the SEGA role (if it's not a joke role and is actually in-game) is that it could easily wipe out a bunch of players in one go, and people would be scared of voting, hurting an already mainly-inactive mafia community.

Also, it would require a lot of players (at least a decent amount), which is something we struggle with.

But it IS a good idea.

Wah · « **Reply #920 on:** March 31, 2015, 11:04:42 PM »

Thank you. If it gets going (KHUSH!) we will have to bug people to play.

Yeah, my initial reaction on reading it was that it sounded like a fun thing to do and that I might just do it after Silenced's game coming up. (Unless Spak-Spang wants to host it after coming up with the idea.) However, I do think Silenced is right about needing a lot of players. But if the game happens in May, then a lot more people may be free to play. We'll see what develops.

Silenced...the way it is worded it could only take out 3 players...himself, and the person that voted before and after him...and ONLY if the Sega character wants to die. Otherwise, he is just a normal townie. It is a twist on the suicide bomber role. If the mafia want to be careful they can just hit the Sega character and kill them. Or, plan their posts not to be sandwiched between other players...just in case.

But that being said it was mostly a joke role...and it could be taken out.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #923 on:** March 31, 2015, 11:52:20 PM »

Khush...I can't host another game for awhile...I am too busy.

The idea with Nintendo is you really only have 2 mafias...because Nintendo can only kill and take the role of the Godfather...it isn't too powerful.

If not enough players join then you can drop the Doctor Role or Sega Role...or both.

I think a game with 12 people could handle this game.

Xbox mafia 3 Sony mafia 3 (Unless we got enough players for a 4 person mafia you need 3 for both) then you have half the game townies. Obviously, Nintendo is a wild card...and more players is better...but that is always true.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #924 on:** April 01, 2015, 12:30:14 AM »

If you have a 2 mafia game, I think 18 players is the minimum requirement. Otherwise, you just have a mess like Pokepal148's games. 20 is preferable. But even in a 2 mafia game, you want the mafia number to be 1/3-1/4 of the players. I do not think 50/50 is a good ratio conducive to fair gameplay.
