I'd like to sign up for the Big Shits of Gaming Mafia please.

Also, when do I know to post up a sign-up thread? The list in the first post is quite out of date it seems (Last updated in May). Danke ^^

--Edit
Didn't want to double-post, but I have to ask: When can a new mafia game be started? There's only one running at the moment, and I see plenty of games just waiting to get started. Thank you.

I think a lot of the entropied games has to do with GMs letting days/nights go on for too long without enforcing deadlines. If people stop talking you need to bump up the deadline so more posting happens before it's been too long and people forget about the game. If night has gone on for too long people don't care to check back afterwards. Besides I believe we are due for 2 more mafia games to start sign-ups as it is.

Fenris

03-12-2009, 01:20 PM

Looking for at least 2-3 potential Mafia replacements for the game. (I hate to be in a position where I'd actually be doing so, but we are where we are.)

EDIT: I can't have dead power roles (I think it's only the Doctor) or Ryanderman (who is 'Missing' and knows his hidden role) replace due to secret knowledge that should be eliminated by their deaths, BUT if you were a Town Vanilla (even the 'strong' variety), I'm desperate enough to have you join in the replacing.

Order of preference to take the slots goes Those Who Hadn't Signed Up > Greed > Other 'Nillas. At this rate though so long as you qualify you'll probably get in, as there's a fair deal of replacing that's almost certainly going to happen unless all the currently inactive players suddenly come back to life.

There should be a requirement that everyone has to have themes, themes make Mafia awesome.

The theme of the game is Nameless-ness.

As in, nobody in the game has names.

There's another theme but revealing it would kind of ruin the surprise.

Anyway, could I go ahead and start sign-ups to drum up interest, and then start whenever Pony mafia finishes?

You'll find out when you actually sign up for a game. This thread is for people who would like to 'host' a mafia game. There's a game running currently, when that's over, Bookworm might be running a game. You can sign up for that. The version, the theme, and anything else depends entirely on Bookworm.

I think the theme for the one I want to run will be "Meta-Mafia". Everyone has roles assigned, as if they'd already been in the middle of a game of Mafia.

If we can have one about hats, we can have anything. :P

I, er, what? I'm sitting here scratching my head trying to work out what that even means.

rpgdemon

11-06-2011, 08:05 PM

A few examples:

Miller:

The Busy One. TOWN Miller: You are a good fellow, looking to take out the scum, but you're just so darn busy. As a result, you haven't had a chance to take a look at the game, and the town's starting to get suspicious of you. To make matter worse, you didn't turn off invisible mode while you were checking an unrelated PM, and you're sure that SOMEONE saw it!

PO:

The Analyst. TOWN Police Officer: You've got a keen sense of intuition, and when you focus down on one player, given enough time, you have near perfect results as to figuring out their alignment. Once per night you can set your analytical focus on a player, and discover their alignment.

Ok, a theme based on the idea that your role is a certain playstyle aptitude/impairment. Sounds cool.

So are we going to run silly mafia games alongside normal mafia games, or is this like a comedic relief-filler-thing? Because if possible I have my own "broken" game separate from my normal game idea that I'd like to try eventually.

Mmmmmmmmmmn. Probably not. There wasn't much interest in Fuck You mafia, so there's not enough demand to warrant having multiple games going on at the same time.

That's too bad, I wanted to run a specific Mafia of my own. Either Movie Monsters Mafia or possibly Frankenstein Mafia. Guess I'll wait my turn though. Gives me time to think of the stuff for it while I review the rules.

Geminex

12-09-2011, 02:59 PM

Okay, proposal. Could there be a rule that obligates people running a mafia game to tell their players when they're using a really unusual, untried setup? Because mafia isn't always guaranteed to be fun, and, in my recent experience, the really experimental stuff often ends in unsatisfying games through overcomplication and drastic changes to the game's mechanic.

I don't even want this to be super-strict, stuff like the MLP mafia is still something I consider mostly normal, but when you've got stuff like 3-faction role madness, or free-for-alls, it should be mandatory to at least drop a hint that you're doing something really nonstandard.

Because then people like me (that is to say, BORING OLD SQUARES) can go to some other forum for their vanilla-mafia fix and have some fun there, rather than getting frustrated at shitty game mechanics that I didn't know anything about before I joined.

Red Mage Black

12-09-2011, 03:42 PM

I understand what you mean, Gem. My idea is pretty standard, the only big thing about it is the theme. I was thinking of an 'off-mechanic', but it probably wouldn't work out too well. I do have one particular non-standard goal in mind, but I'm still working out the ideas in my head to logic out how it'd work. I'm looking to not only make it fun for everyone else, but also for myself. It's in my opinion that a good mafia game is not only enjoyed by the players, but also the GO.

IHateMakingNames

12-09-2011, 03:44 PM

Since it's on topic, I think games should list all the roles at sign up. Maybe you can leave out non-essential, flavorish roles like lyncher. The game shouldn't come down to trying to figure out what a role does, or if some faction has X role or not.

Geminex

12-09-2011, 03:46 PM

And that's cool. You're telling us it's a bit off-mechanic, but should, otherwise, turn out normal. I'll probably join that, but people who want pure vanilla will know not to. That's cool.

And sure, the GM should have fun as well, otherwise it's shitty. But so should the players.

Edit:

Since it's on topic, I think games should list all the roles at sign up. Maybe you can leave out non-essential, flavorish roles like lyncher. The game shouldn't come down to trying to figure out what a role does, or if some faction has X role or not.
Well, I dunno. Like, I don't think there need to be rules about what can be in games and what not. Because everyone has a different perception of what is fun, and the rules shouldn't cater to any specific taste.

BUT

Players should be informed in general terms about the kind of game that awaits them, so they can actually decide if it suits them. If it does, yay, they join. If it doesn't, there's other places to play mafia on the internet, and when the game is done, the people that did participate will hopefulyl have gotten what they came for.

And if a certain type of game doesn't get many players, they it won't be run much, or at all.

IHateMakingNames

12-09-2011, 03:51 PM

I'm not saying it has to be a NPF rule. Listing roles is common and something people never do here. Games here started pretty power heavy and no role listing. It's mostly how mafia has been raised on NPF, but some prefer the more basic.

Kerensky287

12-09-2011, 04:18 PM

It's kind of tough in some cases because I can imagine a lot of scenarios where half the fun is trying to figure out what's going on; Bookworm's free-for-all might have been fun with some hefty modifications, for example, because everyone is a self-serving bastard at first. Nik's 3-way powerfest might have been cool if you took out most of the powers, too, and just gave each group a very minor specialization - everyone goes into mafia assuming default rules, and the discovery that they have multiple opponents ALSO competing would have been a game changer.

I think when I GM in the future I'll give some hint as to what's unusual (if anything) about the game I'm running during signup, but I like the sense of discovery. Using very descriptive flavor text can also be useful in themed games to let players make educated guesses. Mafia seems to be kind of like a weird variety of puzzle-poker, where knowing your opponents is more important than having the best powers, but you still have to use lots of logic to figure out what's going on. I plan to keep the puzzle aspect going whenever I can.

Revising Ocelot

12-09-2011, 04:25 PM

Yeah, for mine I'm planning on writing a fairly long RP-type post that'll give hints on what to look for and types of roles. I certainly wouldn't want to post all the actual roles in the game - I believe it removes half of the purpose of some roles that are meant to employ subterfuge. I WILL list factions, though. It's not fun to flail about wondering if there's a cult or not.

On another note, has Moogle decided on his theme for a Mafia yet?

Moogle0119

12-09-2011, 04:40 PM

I've been kicking around some ideas since I expressed interest in running one, but still haven't settled down for an exact theme yet. I will have it done by this weekend though and I'll let you know for sure then.

Red Mage Black

12-09-2011, 04:49 PM

Well, for mine, I did plan on employing cult. Which I know is a bad subject with some people. Though I'll probably rule it that cult can't turn mafia players, but in the proceeding post, I'd word it so that it seems more like they were BG'd as not to give mafia away.

Also, traitor roles seem pretty useless to me. Instead of having fun, it seems to sow more paranoia and while that's what Mafia is all about, not the fun kind. Not to mention that it probably wouldn't make sense in my theme.

Kerensky287

12-09-2011, 05:29 PM

Traitors are a neat idea, but there's no possible way to prepare for it. You can't work under the assumption that everyone is a traitor.

I mean, I was just talking about having roles nobody knows about, and that sounds similar. But at least there, you can at least make predictions based on past events; a traitor only reveals themselves once they've made their move, and they're likely to be gone immediately afterward.

I'm sure there's a way to make it interesting and fun for everybody, but I can't think of one yet, and I don't feel like trying it any time soon.

The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk

12-09-2011, 05:32 PM

I would just like to say, my 40k idea will mostly be in the style of Fenris' MLP mafia, which is the most fun one I've played so far, though I will try to balance it slightly so town isn't quiet as over powered. Don't want to say too much more, other than yes, there will be cult, which I know some people don't like, but I personally don't have a problem with.

The only thing I'm not sure whether to include is giving out alignments of night killed players. I personally prefered not being told when I was town, because it was more fun to work it out, and so long as the game is fairly normal, it shouldn't be too confusing. If people feel strongly opposed though I may open a vote on that during signups or something.

RO stop doing with the thing that you're doing, seriously, for like the third time.

I don't know why you're so self-deprecating but it's unwarranted and it kind of bothers me that you feel so strongly about how much you think you suck because I've been there and it's awful and I only hope that you have the support group that you need right now, and if you don't how we can try to be that support.

Nah. What I was saying is that I ran a Mafia game, I threw a tantrum, and if the likes of me can run one then Snake should have no problem. In a vaguely joking way that I don't seem to have conveyed properly.

Also I threw a tantrum playing in the last game too. So yeah.
