Mafia

Post by tornado guy »

I saw that this had been brought up a long time ago, and with all of the criticism against scioly assassin I thought it might be a good time to bring this thought back up again.
The rules are up for discussion (Actually this whole thread is :P)
1. There will be 12 people playing, 3 mafia, 3 police and 6 townspeople. The first 12 people to post will be randomly given one of these positions. I will PM those people with what position they will be.
2. During night time the police will PM each other to talk about who they think is mafia, and mafia discuss who they want to kill. During day time there will be a 48 hour period to discuss who killed the person, and who they want to assassinate for the death of the victim.
3. The narrator will be PM'd by one of the mafia players on who they want to kill. When morning comes the narrator will give a description of the person who died.
4. Once dead, players may not post on the thread, users not playing the game may not post either.
5. Majority rules. If the townspeople, police, and the mafia too, have two or more players that they think might be mafia a vote must be taken. The highest number of votes towards one player means he/she is executed.
6. The game is over when either all the mafia die or police die or everyone dies. When dead the narrator will reveal what position that player was.
7. One person from the winning side will be the next narrator for the next game.

This is the best party game ever. Count me in. ;D

We should have roles like doctor and investigator to make it more fun. Or even go a little crazy and have a unibomber or a bus driver.

If this works out, I am in. I loved playing on other forums in the past.

I personally like the model there where anyone who wants to join during the signup period is in the game, and the narrator chooses distribution of player types and even unique unpredictable roles. (I recall one such game in the aftermath a few players commented on how odd it would have been to believe if some of those people tried to announce their roles during the game.)

We only need 5 more people to join! I like Schrodinger and Fuel's idea to go crazy, so let's try 5 townspeople and 1 angel (Doctor).

That would be cool and I think the narrator should PM the other mafias who else is going to be a mafia.
