We had an interesting time last night at the after-party, as a fight broke out among the contestants. People seemed dead-set on hanging Pokepal148, but everyone was slipped a $20 Origin credit and the warpath was quickly forgotten. After the afterparty, a few of us hit up the bar for additional drinks, but we lost sight of a few people. By the time the development studio got back to the office there was already a host of police swarming the scene.
Despite having avoided a deadly encounter with the towns-folk, it seems someone wasn’t fully satisfied with the outcome of last night, as Pokepal the Townie, was found dead in his room.
But that was not the only reason police were on site, as now we are questioning the effectiveness of our security team and camera system. For it was discovered that another person was not present in the morning. We checked her room, only to confirm our worst fears. For lolmonade aka Laura Bow the Investigator, was dead as well. She was found with a large quantity of green and red mushrooms shoved into her mouth, her cap torn up on the floor.
 
Considering these pressing issues, we will not carry out today’s activities. Instead, the police would like to know the following:
 
Where were you last night?
What was your involvement in the almost deadly fight last night that ended in a draw?
What did you have at the after-party?
What did you drink at the bar?
When was the last time you saw either of the victims last night?
Who were you with throughout the night?
 
Summary
Town Whore tied the vote, saving Pokepal from the lynch mob.
Pokepal the Townie hit by Killer
Lolmonade the Investigator hit by Mafia

NWR Mafia Games / Mafia 78: Day 2 - Security Concerns in the Office
« on: August 01, 2018, 01:11:36 AM »
Thank you for participating in our initial questionnaire. Now, before we move on to the next round of the selection process, we have a few house-keeping rules to attend to.
Someone apparently thought it would be a funny prank to take a dump on our receptionists’ desk last night. But thankfully the money Bethesda has given us for our work on Doom and Wolfenstein allowed us to invest in a new, state of the art security camera system.



 

ESPN MLS ExtraTime 2002, while we are a playful bunch, and love pranks and jokes, this crosses a line. Mrs. Johnson is a sweet woman and did not deserve this kind of treatment, especially after you gobbled so many of her taffy candies when we signed you in yesterday. Please leave immediately, we have already called the police and will be filing a report with them.
Additionally, we received a Cease & Desist letter from Nintendo's Mafia-like lawyers. It turns out that the F-Zero X Expansion Kit was being pitched by a group of dedicated fans, and we may no longer pursue consideration of your project since it does not have the blessing of Nintendo. While escorting them out of the building, security discovered that they were armed with a scalpel and a forged medical license. It appears they were moonlighting as Doctor Stiles!


Now that that unpleasant business is out of the way, on to today’s interview questions.
>What is your favorite game to play on your down time (besides the game you are pitching)?
>What is your dream game to develop that you have not made yet?
>If you got to pick one of the other contestants’ games to be ported instead of yours which would it be and why?
>Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?


Summary
ESPN MLS ExtraTime 2002 (Townie) voted out by the townies.
F-Zero X Expansion Kit (Doctor) hit by Mafia.

I like to get a large natural lemonade from Wendy's and ask for no ice. It already comes cold and I put the extra in the fridge for later.

Welcome to Mafia 78! This is just a prep day. Day 1 starts Tuesday.

Switch frenzy is heating up this summer!
Fans are clamoring for ports of their favorite games, regardless of the technical feasibility of the port. Emboldened by the release of titles like Doom and Wolfenstein 2, it seems the sky is the limit when it comes to port potential.

Synopsis
Players in this game will sign up as a game they would love to see ported to the Switch. All titles are welcome regardless of the legal or technical viability. Dream big! Role play as the personality you think the game exudes, or role play as a hardcore fan of that game, or as the game’s developer!

Because of the high demand for games to be ported, Panic Button has announced a drawing for games to be selected for the process. The games lined up here are waiting to get a ticket and hear who will be selected. Some games are more desperate to be ported than others, and a few may resort to...unsavory tactics to ensure they are selected.

There are also premier Nintendo titles who do not want to share the limelight with these third-party titles. They have done their best to keep the 3rd parties away, but the runaway success of the Switch is making it more and more difficult to keep them at bay.



Teams and Roles

Unported Games (Townies) - These are all the games who have hopes and dreams to be ported to the successful Nintendo Switch. Their goal is to survive until the drawing and learn if they are a winner.


Laura Bow [The Dagger of Amon Ra] (Investigator)





Laura Bow is the star of the Roberta Williams (King's Quest creator) mystery title The Dagger of Amon Ra. She is a Southern belle who had just graduated from Tulane University and moved to New York City, where she landed a job at a prestigious newspaper. For her first assignment, she was asked to write a straightforward, lightweight story on a benefit held at a local museum to celebrate their new Egyptian exhibit. When a murder occurs during the party, however, she is locked inside with all of the other suspects. As other guests begin dying one by one, Laura must solve the numerous crimes occurring before the culprits escape or kill her.


Laura's power is to "investigate" any active player. She will get a PM with the role of the player. If it is the godfather it will come back as a townie.


Doc - Dr Derek Stiles [Trauma Center games] (Doctor)





Dr Stiles is a world renowned surgeon, having saved tens of thousands of lives and saving the world from bio-terrorist hazards with his "Healing Touch". Once a day he can use his gift to save another player from a hit from the killer or the Mafia.


One time power: Gift of Asclepius - can override the vote to save any one person who was voted out, even himself. If something invalidates the need for this power it will not count as used (say vote changer


Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Town Whore)



Whore of High Garden - Can break any tie after voting ends, choosing which way the vote falls between those who tied.


Kickstarter - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Killer - YES I KNOW IT IS COMING...but the perpetual delay is the joke here)





Townie Vigilante, but cannot use powers until they have received 4 votes against them cumulatively (self votes do not count, you would out yourself anyways)

1st Party Games (Mafia) - These games do not want to share the spotlight with quality 1st party titles. They will work to eliminate all competition.


Godfather – Mario Odyssey, Investigation will come up as townie, gets to put in a "hit" every day, to take effect after the end-of-day


Action Nullifier - Breath of the Wild: use Stasis to halt a player from taking an action that day


Vote manipulator - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Blue Shell targets person with the most votes and gives them an extra vote while invalidating th(mafia or townie, so be careful!)



Limited Run Games (Killer) – Limited Run Games is gobbling up games and providing them with limited physical releases, which is a bane for many physical game collectors. They got to put out a "hit" on any game unpublished on the Switch.
Special Rule Notes


Order of operations:
Day Actions are all actions that can be given at anytime before end-of-day (thread lock).
The exceptions (Killer/Godfather hits, BotW Stasis, Blue Shell, Whore of High Garden and the Doctor's Healing Touch) can be issued at night and will be referred to as Night Actions, even though the orders can be given during the daytime.


INVESTIGATIONS happen when they send in and have until I respond to change their mind. So as close to instant, but don't expect faster than a 2-3 hour turnaround.


Action order will go as so: Votes tallied, effects/powers applying to votes, Gift of Asclepius, Healing Touch, Hits (order of hits based on order they are submitted). Outlier Decision: On the off chance the killer hits first and hits the doctor and the doctor was protecting the Mafia target (or vice versa) then the Doctor's protection will not last to protect the target, so the order of the hits can matter.


End-of-day will be 9PM PDT. If thread is not locked at that time, play will continue for that day until the time it is locked and all actions taken during this "bonus time" will be valid.

Night actions may be entered in anytime after the day begins, up until 30 minutes after thread-lock. They may be changed anytime up until 30 minutes after thread-lock.

Beginning-of-day will be when the new day thread is posted. Typically this will be by 10PM hopefully, but may occasionally be held over until the next morning, but no later than 6:30AM PDT. If it is held later, then extra time will be given at night to make up for the open period lost.

Only relation I pick up between BP and Aquaman is bad CGI.


Funny, my wife made that comparison as well. "BP with more diversity" was her exact comment, which I found kinda ironic. We are going no matter what because my wife needs her dose of Momoa.

1338

OH SNAP!


That's what she Thanos said.

1339
Gunn already finished the script, so there is little risk of it being "too late" until near the end of the year when filming is in full swing. I don't normally get on these boats, but I'll sign the damn petition if I have to.

Well graphics cards and still steadily dropping, and with the 1180/1170 both leaked to release in Aug/Sep respectively, the prices will continue to drop. I'm hoping out for below MSRP on a 1070/1080 in the near future. So if you want one hang on a bit longer.

1341
While it was a given we would see this, it is nice to have a confirmation on at least some of the crossover content.

1342
So IMDB of all places has "leaked" that the Chorus Kids from Rhythm Heaven are coming to Smash...Can't anyone edit those entries to say anything? While it would confirm an old Smash 4 rumor as a cut character returning, I still don't buy it. Only way this happens is if it truly was a planned character but was cut last minute and is already mostly complete. Just feels like hundreds of other characters are more deserving of a spot and would be much better gag characters.

1343
If your credits are that long, then you really need to make it a mini game like Sakurai did in Smash.

Thinking we can start the game on the 23rd unless we think we need more time. I'll close signups on the 21st/22nd so I have time to finish prep on the weekend.

1345
Rumor has it we are getting something this weekend. Supposedly Nintendo uploaded a private video on YouTube and the description was Smash related. We may be seeing the reveal of "King" and "Ponytail" tomorrow.

1347
Marth and Lucina aren't copy models, they are just similarly designed. I presumed similar move sets were what defined echo fighters.

Gonna delay the game one more week, something came up in life, and I would love it if we got a few more players. Day Zero will kick off this coming weekend and Day 1 on July 30th.

Should have added me posting a signup thread for mafia, but Pokepal already forced my lazy hand.
