Mafia Discussion

I dunno man Hitler was pretty vocal about his views, green doesn't suit him.

Well, Hitler grew up Jewish, should I make him cardflip purple?

including a Nazi's ability to submit a kill vote.

This is systematically impossible. The Mafia decides as a group who to kill by default.

This is systematically impossible. The Mafia decides as a group who to kill by default.

Basically, what it does is nullify their kill vote. They have no say in who gets killed by the Mafia. In reality, it basically kills them without removing them from the game.

[Shadow Yoshi]

There's no such thing as a "kill vote", though.

I worded that wrong. It includes their ability to kill. Basically, they can still decide who to kill with the other Nazis, but if they're the last Nazi standing, they can no longer use the killing ability (they can't be the one to send the PMs to the host).

[Julia Pseudo]

I agree, Hitler shouldn't cardflip green, it just doesn't make sense. You should either change his role somehow or replace him with a different Nazi leader that might reasonably cardflip green.

I have a suggestion, allow people to sign up for like 24 hours, and take 20 or whatever names out of the list randomly. Then on the NEXT game, only use players that weren't picked the first time, and so on for the next games, until you need to fill it up with already played people. Then it starts over.

To put it bluntly... That idea is stupid.

Why would experienced players like me skip a game to let new players have a chance to play? That's a kick in the nuts.

Here is a Mafia game I whipped up that I hope to pitch when M7 rolls around:

M7 - Ms. Frizzle's Wild Ride
25 Players

Cardflip
Role Usage is Mandatory

Mafia

Godfather
Mafioso
Mafioso
Bus Driver (Mafia Aligned version, see below)
Framer (Selects a target each night. If that target is investigated that night, they will appear red.)

Town

Sheriff
Doctor
Vigilante (If they kill an innocent they lose their ability.)
Judge (Has a one-time ability. During the day phase, the Judge will be able to call for a second lynching. That day, two players must be lynched. To do this, they will message the host, who will anonymously announce that there will be a second lynching that day.)
Bus Driver (Is able to swap the locations of two players of their choice each night. Any action that would happen to player A would happen to player B and vice versa. If the Bus Driver A swaps the location of Bus Driver B, Bus Driver B will have his powers nullified. If they both target each other then nothing will happen.)
Townie

Townie
Miller
Millwright

Third Party

Arsonist (Each night, they may either select a target to Douse or Incinerate all Doused targets. Their Incinerate ability has a one night cooldown.)
Lyncher (Is assigned a target, the Lynchee, at the start of the game. Their goal is to get their target lynched and survive the game. Cardflips Yellow.)


FOOTNOTES:
- If the Lynchee dies to a nightkill, the Lyncher is considered to have failed. If they survive the game but fail to kill the Lynchee, they technically did not win.
- The way the Arsonist role is set up is so the Arsonist is taking a risk for every night he doesn't Incinerate, so it is very risk vs. reward.
- The Bus Driver works as either a Town-Aligned or Mafia-Aligned role. Since I didn't want two on town, why not one on Mafia? Considering the town-aligned Bus Driver would hold back to avoid chaos, I decided to make it so you HAVE to act each night!
- Have fun!

Because what if I for example wanted to play Mafia and the list is full of players that have already played the past 3 games or so? The list seems to fill up with people that have played before which really gives people who haven't gotten to play more than twice a disadvantage.

I think we can solve that by having more than one game at a time but making a rule that each player can only sign-up/play in a single game at a time. Then maybe possibly we'd have a bit of overlap in the sign-up time.

Eh, I doubt we have enough people here interested to join two Mafia games making a grand total of about fifty players needed. But you may be right.

It is possible as many members are hyped to play the games. Also, I know forums where host signups are a first-come, first-served basis, and two RPGs go on at once.

I never said we were going to have 2 20+ player games.

How does the visit works? I don't quite understand it.

If you use your power on another player, you "visit" them.

Posting this again because everyone ignored it.

Posting this here just because I want to see what people think for M7 and so I can just easily copy/paste this into the M7 host poll thread.

M7 - Stölheim

It is the dark of night in the small forested town of Stölheim, and the noble of the town, Frederik Ziënger, has been found dead in his home with scratch marks on his chest and face. Werewolves are the suspected cause of this murdering, and so the town guard has been on active duty to try and rid of the menace that may still be lurking in the once peaceful town...
