Off-topic Mafia #5 Sign-up Thread *SPECIAL GAME*

[Iceforge]

Hey! Mafia #4 is still 10 players strong, so will be a while before this game starts, but I am bored right now, so might as well put it up

The game is going to be special! Means all kind of crazy stuff is possible and hopefully it will be amusing to the players and not just me, but no guarantees

As always, this game wont start until the previous has finished completely!

If you are new to the mafia forum game, you can read the basic rules here

Things that I might or might not do in this game makes me recommend visiting the following pages of the wiki as well:

Post-restriction

See all the roles and not just the basic ones!

And while we are at the fun, this game will need a THEME!!!

But, as always, I am lazy, so when you sign up, I want you to say you are IN for this game and suggest a theme, then I'll pick a theme from one of those suggested!

What is a THEME? Now, lets say the THEME was Monty Pyhton and the Holy Grail, then the mafia would be frenchmen, the serial killer would be either The Black Knight or The Killer Rabbit, the Townies would be King Arthur and His Knights, of which King Arthur, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot and others would be the special roles while vanilla townies would be squires.

 

[- English -]

sign me up - theme idea (matrix?) - agents as mafia, townies are neo's chums, serial killer perhaps that traitor who shot Neo in the first one(cant remember, bald guy)... oracle could be doc? Special role, Neo/Morphius/Trinity?

Sign me Up

Theme - Daoc,

Stealthers = mafia, Healing clases = Doc ect and so on

perhaps this could be interpreated to a 3 way mafia game, hibs v albs v mids all for themselves, perhaps have 2 stealthers in each realm who only know which other person is in their realm... and people eliminate 1 each week untill the remaininng realm has most people.

Alright, Zombie Game.

Setting:

Research compound.

Roles:

Civilians - You know, meatsacks, normal peeps. Will try and "eradicate", as in burn, an infected member of the community every day. Work for the research compound.
Scientist - Can test one person every night for infection. Works for the research compound.
Military eradicator! - Has a secret vote to eliminate someone. So if someone needs 6 votes, and the eradicator has voted for someone, the guy bites it. Still has normal vote too. Works for the research compound.
Zombie hunter - Hunts the zombie overlord. Can decide to kill anyone at night, but doesn't know any more then the others. If the zombie hunter kills the overlord, the compound wins. If the zombie hunter kills an innocent, the overlord can infect someone(no matter of role) Works for...erm...compound in general.

Goverment(evil) scientist - Can mask one zombie every night. Works for the zombies
Zombie infected - Will infect/bite/etc one human every night. So the numbers of zombies can grow. Infection requires a "normal" person, which isn't known by zombies. Otherwise they eat ze brain! Works for the zombies
Zombie overlord - Unseen by scientist. (Can infect anyone, when the zombie hunter "messes up")Works for the zombies

Will add more later, bit afk.

How could I miss this one???!!!!

Signing up!

I don't understand one thing though. If the mafia all have to act like, say, Frenchmen and others like Knights of the Round Table (just referring to the example) - won't everyone know what the others are then? "He acts like a French, he must be mafia!"

I don't get it?

Well, I actually got a Monty Pyhton and the knights of the holy grail setup written up in notepad... includes the following roles (won't go specific about what they each can do, as I am about to use it on another site):

King Arthur
Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog
Taunting Frenchmen
Tim the Enchanter
Black Knight
Three-headed Giant
Squires

That one is WITHOUT post-restrictions, Squires can become knights and then I got the following knights:

Sir Bedevere
Sir Lancelot
Sir Galahad
Sir Not-appearing-in-this-forum-game
Sir Robin

Okay, so if I want to make this post restricticted, I would to balance things out I will add 1 or 2 of these:

You are the groupie! You want to be killed by the cast of this awesome movie/play/forum game/whatever! It would be an honour for you!
You know the frenchmen got this post restriction: A
You know the killer rabbit got this post restriction: B
You know the three-headed-giant got this post restriction: C
You know the black knight got this post restriction: D
You are not allowed to share or hint at this information!
You win if you get lynched day 1(2 if there is 2), else you will commit suicide on night 1 in disappointment!
Good luck!

That balance it out nice and easy! And it is not 100% there will be post restrictions, as it generally does NOT work well with theme games based on something so everybody can figure it out who is what.

In the suggested idea, the wild west one might be vague enough to allow post restrictions as both white and black hats (town and scum) could have various speaking disorder (a stutter could be both, so could one who swears alot, etc.)

Any ideas, comments, opinions on the zombie theme?

 

[Iceforge]

Oh, yeah, sure, got some!

I think your game fleshout it pretty nice, but in a SMALL game, i.e. the size we run here (which is also why Monty Pyhton is not being used here, requires atleast 23 people to be balanced) I would actually suggest changing the zombies, to start with 1 zombie only!!

The Infector/Infested, who when he kills someone, they become zombies.
All Zombies are able to kill every other night, as they as slow, so the zombie infested would kill 1 on night 1, then new zombie would kill on night 2, infested on night 3 and 2 created zombies kill 2 on night 4, if none of them dies..
If infested dies, the town is safe from more zombies, and only has to worry about stopping the killings.
I would add a doctor who got a cure to the game! If he targets the infested, the infested become normal zombie (The doctor won't know if that happens or not)
Might also add a hero to the game. A role not really discussed yet. The hero I would use is iirc not the same as in mafiascum.net's wiki, but rather the hero of the story, meaning if he gets lynch-voted, it just skips to night without a lynch, i.e. he is immune to lynch and is immune to nightkill the night following his lynch (i.e. the zombies can't just say "Oh, he was hero, no lynch happened, lets kill him right away!)
Hero is a powerfull role, as it gives the town an extra chance, so to speak, but they will need it as the zombies can quickly overrun them.
Ofc, the game would be even more fun with 50 players and the same setup, except they could kill each night, and still only 1 starting zombie. Would make life crazy for the town.
Would basicly be like fighting a cult-leader who's recruits becomes vig's... darn near impossible!
Would also try and assign everybody on the town side a special role, i.e. all (with appropriate names, ofc) docs, cops, vigs, etc, to balance it out a bit. Like 2 sane cops and 1 with random sanity and 2 sane docs and 1 quack or something like that, +1 a vig.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Oh yeah, the hero/heroin of the game was left out 'cause i was thinking of "fitting" role there.

And yes, only one zombie begins, forgot to mention that. It's not unbalanced, as if normal "townies" can be infected, they soon spread out.

Nice feedback, have to shine it up a bit, it is afterall written as is.

Star Wars - Any idea how to write out the star wars theme using only words like "Da da da da""

 

[fl3a]

the star wars theme could be fun as a sort of 'reversed roles' game, with the game taking place on a death star, townies being imperials and the mafia being rebels, essentially making the bad guys the good guys and vice versa. you could have darth vader as a daykilling vigilante/hero

 

[Cerb]

star trek theme with patrick stuart as the hero...of course, he see's everything!

 

[Howley]

patrick stuart...of course, he see's everything!

LOL !

 

[Olgaline]

another theme could be Cold Wars

With Spies, soldiers, double agents, politicians, terrorists and citizens..... ect
