The Black Lanturn restores a players abilities, but does it restore their items too? I don't see any mention of that.

For the record, I think this has been one of the best Mafia games I've played. Not at all overly complicated - but some of the rules could have been fleshed out a little better. More than once I planned on doing X only to be told no.

I kinda took that to mean that anyone could buy in (and the former members would have to re-buy in as well) - meaning two (or three) mafia members could buy in and reform...

You are correct. That was the idea we bandied about at the time of the Justice League demise. But the White Ring allows a player to return with all points and items he had accumulated at the time of his death. Since Sundoulos had the Justice League item as it were and so did two others, that power was reactivated. It is as though his death never happened. Like Thatguy mentioned. At the time of his death, it never crossed our minds that the townies would make a clever choice like that. It means that if a member of the League dies again, then that's it. It will not come back a third time.

So, hypothetically, let's say you had allowed the League to reform and someone bought into it... *then* Sundoulos was revived... what would have happened then?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #127 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:17:14 PM »

Let's see if I understand:

Batman has the power to investigate people, since there is no godfather, all mafia show up as mafia. He also is unkillable without the Perfect Trap.

Superman has the power to protect one player of his choosing a day and is also unkillable without Kryptonite.

Batman finds Superman then verifies another good player and then the league can be formed.

The Justice League has a minimum of three members but can have more than that.

The Justice League has the power to prevent people from returning from the dead with the Phantom Zone Projector.

If any Justice League member dies then the League is broken and loses the Phantom Zone Projector.

Did I miss anything?

UncleBob · « **Reply #128 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:18:30 PM »

Yeah - the Phantom Zone ability stays on the player even once the JL is disbanded.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #129 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:20:28 PM »

What is the advantage of buying your way into the Justice League? Are you told who all the members are? Is the onetime use of the Phantom Zone projector put to a vote?

Does the Justice League have any additonal benefits?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #130 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:32:00 PM »

Based on how the rules sound, no one else can join the Justice League and the item description says it has three slots. To me, that means the JL can only have 3 members. No more, no less.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #131 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:36:52 PM »

I think I may be a member of the Justice League.

First of all no dead person has access to their points.Second of all all item purchases need to be sent to thatguy. Third of all once you give someone your points it's basically theirs.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #136 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:07:42 PM »

Well crap, how am I going to win the comic book prizes if I don't have any points?

Yeah, you overcomplicated it.

Any townie who has saved up nine points could purchase a Justice League Membership. That could be Batman, that could be Superman, that could be a regular townie. Once any 3 townies have bought a membership, the League is formed and all three members are informed of who else is in the League with them. Since the League can only be purchased by townies, all League members have the benefit of knowing that they can trust each other 100%. (Unless of course Starro is controlling someone but that's a different point). The fact that three townies can form up is the biggest benefit. However, we also gave a side benefit to counteract a few other items/abilities by letting them use the Phantom Zone Projector which helps eliminate possibilites of who could return to the game.

That's all the League is about.

As for UncleBob's question, it was never guaranteed the League would return. We just thought we'd leave the possibility open in case we could see a reason for it since it ended so fast. Personally, I really didn't see how it could be revived or have much intention of bringing it back. I'm not sure if Thatguy was working on any ideas for it but in my mind, it was dead. Congrats on finding a legit way to bring it back. I didn't see it coming.

On the subject of players coming up with unexpected scenarios, I have got to give credit to The Unagi for his brilliant extortion scheme. I was wary about point sharing since this is the first game with points where it's ever been done but he came up with one of the best uses for that ability in my mind. Especially Day 2 when UncleBob had 2 votes and he cast the third really applying some pressure to UncleBob to give him some points to change his votes. I'll admit, if I could pay a player to vote with me, I'd take that opportunity.

Didn't see the original message.
Besides Khushrenada is usually good at checking them in a timely matter.

I absolutely promise that, as of this moment, I am not back. Sorry to confuse things. I was just highly concerned that the answer given by Khush directly conflicted with something I know had already happened in the game and figured I needed to get it fixed one way or another.

Unrelated: TMAXE is, right now, showing the Watchmen movie. Watch it if you don't know who Rorschach is (or better yet, read the better graphic novel).

Wow close vote I wonder if anything is going to change in the next hour and 30 mins.
Wow a tie between stevey and GP. Two players still need to vote. Have a feeling that the blue ring is going to decide this tie.
Roughly zero mins left in the day.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #149 on:** February 26, 2011, 12:15:17 AM »

Looks like the tie has been broken via ring.Is stevey or GP going to go?
