M5: Host Signups

[Shadow Yoshi]

Post your games!!!

I'll probably hire some more GMs soon as well.

[zioy]

Are spot reservations allowed? I'm sure the game signup will start while I'm sleeping, as I'm going to go to sleep pretty soon.

I'd like to ask the same question!

[Shadow Yoshi]

Spot reservations for M5 itself? No, those aren't allowed. Sorry!

[zioy]

Aw man... well anyway, I don't want to be the host, but I really want the game to start soon enough that I can join. can I come up with a game but have you host it?

[TLtimelord]

I took a lot of ideas while making this one as well as invented a couple of my own.

M5 - Playing with Fire

This will be a unique game that brings in the "visiting" mechanic and applies it to everyone. Townspeople and mafia will choose who's "house" they want to visit that night.

Mafia:
-Mafioso
-Mafioso
-Bartender - A mafia member that would cardflip blue via inspection or death. (Yes, I'm stealing Blue Dread's custom role)
-Arsonist - Chooses a person's "house" to burn down. Anybody who is visiting that person or anybody that person is visiting will die, UNLESS it is a Firefighter or Volunteer Firefighter, then the arsonist's role will be nullified

Townspeople:
-Sheriff - Inspects one player every night phase. If they visit the player and the player is visited by another user, the Sheriff will also find out that user's role.
-Deputy - Takes on the role of the Sheriff if the Sheriff dies. When he takes on the role of the Sheriff, he would cardflip blue when he dies, but if the sheriff is alive, the Deputy will cardflip green.
-Lookout - Picks a player to track. They will know who visited that person or who they visited, including the other people who visited that person, at the end of the night phase.
-Firefighter - This player can nerf the arsonist's attack if they are visiting or are being visited by the person the arsonist chose to "burn." They also take on the role of the Doctor and choose two "volunteer firefighters" to take on close to the same power
-Volunteer Firefighter - Have close to the same power as the Firefigher. They protect a house from the arsonist, but do not have doctor powers.
-Volunteer Firefighter
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Miller - Thinks they are a normal townsperson
-Millwright - Thinks they are a normal townsperson

A few things
-The Arsonist is on the Mafia team, but they have different targets than their two different Mafia counterparts
-The Arsonist has night immunity (if there is a vigilante included in a game including the arsonist) but will not kill the vigilante, only if they are burning the house the vigilante visits.
-Both kinds of Firefighters has night immunity only to the arsonist. If they are killed by a mafioso, the user they visited is fair game to the arsonist
-If the Firefighter dies to the mafia, the game master will choose if they will replace one of the volunteer firefighter roles with the firefighter. If this happens, there will only be one other volunteer firefighter spot left. (and none if the second firefighter dies, etc)
-If a mafioso becomes volunteer firefighter, they will only attain night immunity and will cardflip green and even blue if a volunteer becomes the firefighter. Anybody can become a volunteer by being chosen by the Firefighter
-Mafioso, bartender, lookout, firefighter, and volunteer firefighter roles all have night immunity exclusive to the arsonist.
-All players, except the Lookout, will choose a player to "visit." Any special users choose someone to use their role on and that will count as their visit.
-Maximum of 4 players per house just so the arsonist doesn't devastate the townies too easily. If a special chooses someone from a full house and is a killing role, they will kill that user but the killer will "visit" a different place. Same applies to the Sheriff's inspections.

I will add and remove roles if needed and/or wanted.

So the Firefighter chooses his volunteers? If so, what if the volunteers are Mafia?

[TLtimelord]

JUST added in that scenario result in the last comments. In short, it would be a major plus for the mafioso.

[zioy]

So the volunteer could nightkill the Firefighter, therefore becoming a Mafia Firefighter? Now THAT would be interesting

Also, by "game master" do you mean the host (you) or Bomber57, the Game Master? Because if Bomber/other GM is Mafia, he could use that power to his advantage.


EDIT 2: Joey, can you please wait until tomorrow to end the poll, so Central Standard Timers can join?

[Julia Pseudo]

This is the same game concept as I posted before, but with the addition of a Millwright and Underboss.

M5: "Mafia: The Movie"
20 players - Cardflip

The Mafia
Godfather: Mafia, cardflips blue.
Underboss: Immune to night kills.
Mafia
Mafia

The Townspeople
Whistleblower: Can (anonymously) reveal a player's color to the whole game each night, that person's color will be revealed in the morning.
Sheriff: Knows who the deputy is, in addition to normal powers.
Deputy: Becomes the sheriff after the sheriff dies (will cardflip blue regardless). Will be notified when the sheriff dies.
Doctor
Townsperson
Townsperson
Townsperson
Townsperson
Townsperson
Townsperson
Townsperson
Townsperson
Millwright
Miller

Others
Serial Killer
Bounty Hunter: Can (not must) kill one player each night. Goal is to kill either the Serial Killer or a Mafia member. If s/he does so successfully and survives the rest of the game, s/he will win.

EDIT: Typos fixed.
EDIT 2: Added underboss to mafia.

Yes. I may change the next firefighter pick to the dead firefighter instead of the host just so thst's possible. I'll also probably add a couple more volunteer rules as well to try and nerf it down.

It would be a very smart play by the mafia if they'd infiltrate and kill off firefighters to let their arsonist run free.

There should be a term for a house that a bunch of people go to during one night. How about "party house"?

It could be shortened to "party" or "ph." Also, why would the Mafia visit a house, only killing one person? I know it's a game, but that would make no sense.
I guess it would be like an assassination...

[Bomber57]

Gonna try this one again.

M4: "Zat Was Not Medicine!"
20 Players - Cardflip

Godfather (Mafia, appears Green)
Mafioso
Mafioso
Agent (Mafia, tracks who visited a targeted player and who the targeted player visited.)
Sheriff
Lookout (Tracks who visited a targeted player that night.)
Doctor (One of the two Doctors will be Insane, meaning they have a 50% chance of killing their target instead of defending them! The fun is you don't know which Doctor is insane or not!
Doctor
Vigilante
Townie
Townie
Townie
Townie
Townie
Townie
Townie
Townie
Miller
Serial Killer
Survivor (Neutral. Can protect himself for one night the entire game. His goal is to survive until the end, no matter which side wins.)

I basically advanced the "visiting" mechanic. Normally only special roles will "visit" other players, but now ALL players choose someone to visit. The Lookout role would be the only player that doesn't have to choose someone to visit.

[zioy]

I would personally allow players to stay home if they pleased. Or visiting the home of a normal Mafioso resulting in death, perhaps.


On another note, can I create a game, but not host it? I'd rather play, but I really want to create the list as well.

It would probably be a good idea to allow users to "stay home."

[HeroOfRhyme]

Ooo, well you know I've asked for that once already. It''d certainly be a fun little job if you could let me be a part of that team, Joey. :3

Also guys, TNT4prez

[Karl Marx]

Bomber the whole insane doctor idea is probably the greatest thing ever

[qig]

i have a couple of ideas for more games, but honestly running a mafia games kind of a pain !!!
good luck to everyone submitting ideas!

[Julia Pseudo]

Hey Bomber, does the insane doctor know whether s/he's insane or not? It's a great mechanic either way, just curious.
