======================

This is the queue for mafia games. 

Please only queue when you are able to take a new game and let me know which games you're willing to queue for. 
- If everyone only queues when they're ready for a game then we can start games immediately when they're full regardless of the state of the other mafia games. 

Please only post here to queue up for modding or playing. 
- You may also post here to describe the game you want to mod.
- Since it looks like people are also using this thread to discuss, please bold your posts for inning and modding.

Interested in playing, both bastard and normal.

Edit: So any mafia games basicly. You should add resistance to the list!

Works for me! I must confess that I hope this one doesn't go to 100+ pages though. I'll still be in if it does. :P

Hmm... I was planning on making it slightly harder to die, at least in the early game, so that the roles could stay in longer and have more of a chance to make an impact.

Title: Re: Mafia Queue
Post by: Voltgloss on July 09, 2012, 05:10:15 pm
Yeah, but... I helped vet the role setup, so it wouldn't be fair at all for me to join M-VI.  I think pops did as well.  Plus, I really have very little free time over the coming three weeks - running M-IV is pretty much all I can do at the moment.

That said:  please DO sign me up for eHalc's role madness.

Also, it's great to see two new players signed up for M-VII!  Here's hoping we get even more.  :)

Title: Re: Mafia Queue
Post by: O on July 09, 2012, 05:13:00 pm
Voltgloss and Dsell were the two (and only two) people to see copies of the role set-up. This (plus Dsells back-up modding of MVI) disqualifies both of them, obviously.

I played a game with him yesterday, mentioned that to him, he said hes really busy in RL and mafia was probably more than he could chew. Additionally since the forums aren't emailing people when they get pmd he didnt know he was being replaced, but was ok with that
Title: Re: Mafia Queue
Post by: jotheonah on July 10, 2012, 10:39:59 am
I'm glad he's ok with it. When I PMed him I was like "Nothing personal, thanks so much for playing." So he's aware it's not any malice so much as just wanting to keep the game moving.

http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=3385.0

To be clear, it's not a bastard game.  The only thing potentially bastardly is imbalance in roles.  I'm not actually sure which team will have the advantage, but it's probably not balanced.  It may be as swingy as a Tournament.  And I won't lie to anyone. :P

I have an idea for an actual bastard game but I should let others host things.  But if someone wants to host a BM but is short on ideas, let me know. :P

If the Newbie game becomes oversubscribed, priority will be given based on how few games the players have played.  Totally new players will get first seating, then those who have only played in 1 game, then 2, etc.

Newbie games in mafiascum have 6 newbies, 2 players that have played at least two games so know the ropes, and 1 semi-expert to teach the ropes.  It seems to be a good combination.

Newbie games in mafiascum have 6 newbies, 2 players that have played at least two games so know the ropes, and 1 semi-expert to teach the ropes.  It seems to be a good combination.

So applying that rubric to the folks who've expressed interest so far, we have the following tiers:

New players (0 or 1 games)
1. Young Nick
2. manda2014
3. shark_bait
4. timchen
5. pingpongsam

Semi-experienced (2 or more games)
6. Eevee
7. Captain_Frisk
8. Galzria

Robz (Robz)
888. Robz

...which is 5-3-1, but looks close enough.  OK, Mafia-VII will consist of these 9 players.  Game will start after Mafia-IV ends.  Looking forward to it, all  :)

Robz is more useful to teach if he isn't busy deceiving. Thus Robz = obvtown. One clear, 5 to go (I'm town, obviously (trust me!)). EZmode.

Here is an idea I had:

Wish list mafia.

Everyone signs up, then PMs me the role and alignment they would like in the game. Then I figure out how to create a balanced setup that lets everyone get something like what they want (splitting the scum into multiple teams, giving people a weak version of the role they asked for, making someone else stronger to make up for it, etc.)

Then, not only does everyone (sort of) get to play the part of their choice, but you can analyze peoples' roles based on what you think they would ask for.

Do people think this would be fun, or a horrible disaster, or both?

Should be fun for us.  Sounds horrid for you.  It'd be interesting to see how people play up the meta game since we all know everyone else is playing a role they like.  Never lynch O.

It might have to be a quasi-bastard game.

Honestly, I don't have to mod it. If a more experienced mod wanted to steal the idea, I'd be fine with it, as long as they let me play.

Here is an idea I had:

Wish list mafia.

Everyone signs up, then PMs me the role and alignment they would like in the game. Then I figure out how to create a balanced setup that lets everyone get something like what they want (splitting the scum into multiple teams, giving people a weak version of the role they asked for, making someone else stronger to make up for it, etc.)

Then, not only does everyone (sort of) get to play the part of their choice, but you can analyze peoples' roles based on what you think they would ask for.

Do people think this would be fun, or a horrible disaster, or both?

I had already considered it. If I spent more time at a PC instead of on my mobile I would've hosted it. As is, I'm not sure I could mod a game well without regular PC access (When I'm home and not exhausted).

Would be interesting though.

Something that's quite less interesting, but still interesting, and a version I have played in real life, is to let the narrator assign all the roles instead of choosing them randomly. (I think all our non-bastard mafia games had random role assignments.) So you get to say, "Oh, Joe is the narrator, I bet he made his girlfriend a mafia," or whatever. I like this version becomes I get to be mafia a disproportionate number of times, as narrators like choosing me to be evil lying scum.

Maybe better they send you a dominion card name and than you return the role and alignment.

One more idea when we get more (10ish?) games in:

Second Chance Mafia
Only people who were in at least 2 games, at least 1 as scum and at least 1 as not scum may enter.
You get to replay one of the roles you were before.

I was cooking up an idea for Schroedinger's mafia - in which you were playing in 2 games simultaneously - with 2 different roles, but which role was which was unknown and only collapsed on observation. 

I couldn't figure out how to make it work well enough to actually try to run though.
Title: Re: Mafia Queue
Post by: Insomniac on July 19, 2012, 11:52:46 am
But...you aren't supposed to know if your alive or dead or not until you open the box...and if you play 2 roles then you would.

What if you ran it on QT, 2 games. Each player has a partner. if either of you die your dead. You don't get the QT for the game you aren't in.

Schroedinger's Mafia
- The town consists of 7 Boxes, 1 Town Cop, and 1 Mafia Cop.

- Each night, the Town Cop and Mafia Cop must select a single player to investigate.  A Cop cannot investigate the same player more than once.  If they do not select a target, their target will be randomly rolled.

--- If the investigated player is a Box, then the Mod rolls a 4-sided die.  On a 1, the player becomes a Poison.  On a 2-4, the player becomes a Cat.  The investigating Cop is told the player's alignment (Cats are Town-aligned; Poison is Mafia-aligned).  The player is also told at the start of the Day that their role has changed, and, if Poison, they receive the Mafia QT link.

--- If the investigated player is already a Cat or Poison, the investigating Cop is told the player's alignment.

--- The Mafia Cop is investigation-immune.  If the Town Cop investigates him, he is read as Town.  (If the Mafia Cop investigates the Town Cop, he receives a "Town" result but is not told the target's role, i.e., that his target is the Town Cop.)

--- Boxes, Cats, and Poison have no abilities, other than their vote (and the fact that a Box's alignment is not determined until investigated).

--- If both Cops die, all remaining Boxes immediately become Cats or Poison (using the same random roll procedure as if they were investigated).  Each such player is informed of their role at that time.

--- The Mafia team has their normal factional nightkill, with one restriction:  they cannot choose to nightkill the same player being targeted by the Mafia Cop that night.

--- The game has a night start, with one restriction:  the Mafia cannot use their nightkill on the first night. 

Thoughts, gang?

My game stats after MVI (or maybe even MVII if I want to wait for newbies) Ends.

I found many awesome setups on mafiascum (Pick your Power, Rebels in Palace (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Rebels_in_the_Palace) etc), but I boiled it down to 2 that I want:

Pick Your Poison (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Pick_Your_Poison) - 3 mafia, 10 Townies. Mafia picks 3 out of 5 roles that some townies will get.

Or a smaller one,
Carbon-14 (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Carbon-14) - with 1 Cop, 1 Seer, 3 Towines and (2 Mafia OR 2 Werewolves). So, one of Cop/Seer is always useless.

Okay, amazingly, I think I actually have a workable version of my Mafia Tarot deck.

So, uh, put me in line to Mod Mafia IX, I guess!

I was inspired by the Great Idea Mafia (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Great_Idea_Mafia) Open setup. I've tweaked my version a little to ensure more balance between the various factions.

I think it's going to be a partially open setup; I'm going to reveal what roles all the pip and face cards are assigned to, but not what the Major Arcana do. They're... special.

Here's a sample setup spread:

Town
5 Vanilla Townies
2 Masons
1 Cop (Mafia/Non-Mafia)
1 Backup Tracker
1 One-Shot Strongman Vig
1 One-Shot Dayvig
1 Innocent Child

Mafia
1 Mafia Roleblocker
1 Mafia Doctor
1 Mafia Watcher

Werewolves
1 Werewolf Tracker
1 Ninja Werewolf

Third Party
1 Werewolf-Immune SK

? ? ?
The High Priestess
The Hermit
The Sun

Title: Re: Mafia Queue
Post by: Voltgloss on July 30, 2012, 10:48:28 am
One Backup Tracker, but no Town Tracker?  Does the Backup Tracker spontaneously become a Werewolf if the Werewolf Tracker dies?

...or does the town get a reward for killing the Werewolf Tracker by having the (Town) Backup Tracker suddenly become a Tracker?  That's... kind of an interesting mechanic, actually.  Makes the Mafia maybe think twice about trying to kill Werewolves.

But I don't want to step on any toes by running another game parallel to the ones already running and the ones about to start.

I don't want to not include the regular people that want to play, but I think I might give priority registration to newer players and players that haven't played as well... like a few days priority registration... and then accept more experienced players.

Thoughts?

Okay, amazingly, I think I actually have a workable version of my Mafia Tarot deck.

So, uh, put me in line to Mod Mafia IX, I guess!

I was inspired by the Great Idea Mafia (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Great_Idea_Mafia) Open setup. I've tweaked my version a little to ensure more balance between the various factions.

I think it's going to be a partially open setup; I'm going to reveal what roles all the pip and face cards are assigned to, but not what the Major Arcana do. They're... special.

Here's a sample setup spread:

Town
5 Vanilla Townies
2 Masons
1 Cop (Mafia/Non-Mafia)
1 Backup Tracker
1 One-Shot Strongman Vig
1 One-Shot Dayvig
1 Innocent Child

Mafia
1 Mafia Roleblocker
1 Mafia Doctor
1 Mafia Watcher

Werewolves
1 Werewolf Tracker
1 Ninja Werewolf

Third Party
1 Werewolf-Immune SK

? ? ?
The High Priestess
The Hermit
The Sun

Cayvie, I can't see myself playing in a game of that magnitude, but if you need a deputy mod when the time comes I'd be happy to serve. (I'd love to watch that one from the inside knows-the-set-up side)

DONE

Also: the game does not need 21 players, that was just a sample deal of 21 cards.

Any number ~14+ should work.

Yes, in that sample deal, the backup tracker would become a tracker after the scum tracker died.

Ehh, I'm not sold on having too many sign-up threads open. People may forget what they've signed up for and where. Once a game is going you're involved, so it doesn't slip your mind - but I could see someone signing up for multiple games, having them start, and then realizing they committed to too many.

We're working with about the same 15+ people at this point, and most will be in for whatever is running, I don't know that there's a need to have it listed so far in advance of other games (games that will launch before it) even having started.

I would wait to post sign-ups until VIII starts, but that's just me. I don't think it would HURT to have it there now, but I think it might clutter things up.

I actually have an interesting idea for a blitz mafia 2 already that involves playing dominion on isotropic/goko in pods of 4
1 PR
2 VT
1 Scum

Mafia happens in the chat during the game with everyone submitting there votes to me after via the thread where I will also resolve the night actions sent to me by PM after the game. The winner of the game of dominion gets one of two options in addition to any roles they may have.
1) Choose to 1 shot COP someone NOT in there pod.
2) Choose to 1 shot doctor someone NOT in there pod.

Once a pod gets down to size TWO (probably after one game) it will be combined with another pod of 2. To make a new pod of 4. The game ends like any regular game of mafia when the mafia are eliminated or control half of the town. The town consists of everyone playing the game, while your pods are like neighbourhoods in that town.

Thoughts?

Ubelievably, I, Robz888, have a mind to host a regular mafia game at some point. I have a good idea to assign roles and powers to people based on their behavior and reputations in previous games.

But since there are a million games going on, and a million games scheduled, and I like playing them, this may have to wait indefinitely.

To keep people updated about Mafia X--I will not be posting signups until at least one of the following finishes: Mafia VII, Mafia VIII, BMMM1 or RMM1. Perhaps even until 2 are done depending on how I feel.

Also, there will be no restriction on who can join, but I am going to ask that more experienced players wait a given amount of time before signing up to allow newer players a chance to join. I am hoping for at least 1/2 the players to be newbies (newbies in my language means hasn't completed a game up to that point), but perhaps that is a bit too optimistic?

If you expand "newbies" to mean "have completed no more than one game up to that point," then I think you can meet that goal.

I think completing one game might be a bit harsh, especially if some get early outs (d2 or earlier). You don't really get the feel for a full game unless you are there until the near bitter end, I'd say. So, yeah, I agree with Voltgloss.

I may post signups for Mafia XI (tentatively titled "Know Yourself Mafia") when 2/3 of BMMMI, RMM1, and MVII wrap up. I don't anticipate starting it though until all 3 games and MVIII as well are finished.

Roles will be custom designed to fit the Forum Games personalities of the participants, and trying to guess who would have received what role and why will be a legitimate tactic (although prior knowledge is not a pre-requisite and newbies are of course welcome). The roles will be more complicated than standard roles, but non-bastardish and intended for balance (MVI is probably a good approximation.)

Everyone who signs up will be accommodated; I hope to have at least 15 participants.

The roles will be more complicated than standard roles, but non-bastardish and intended for balance (MVI is probably a good approximation.)

Everyone who signs up will be accommodated; I hope to have at least 15 participants.

"find out what robz thinks about you" mafia!

Are alignments being randomly distributed after you assign everyone with roles?
Or will part of the game be "guess who Robz thinks is actually scum?"

I haven't totally decided, but I will probably do some randomly and some deliberately. I want "would Robz make this person scum? Would Robz make this person a 2-shot Jailkeeper? " to be legitimate questions that people weigh during the game, but obviously not the whole focus. It's not going to be a situation where you could guess everybody's PM. But what I may have given each person will be one piece of evidence to consider.

Just confirming that I still plan to set up a JK9++ game.  Now that M-VII and Mystery Mafia are done, I am waiting for Role Madness I to conclude.  (As I've swapped out of Role Madness II, I am comfortable beginning JK9++ even if RMII/M-VIII/M-IX are all still ongoing.)

This won't happen for quite some time, but I would like to run a (possibly slightly modified) JK9++ setup for the next game I mod.  http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=JK9%2B%2B

So I guess put me in the queue as M-XII, but that game won't happen AT LEAST until all of the following games end:

- M-VII
- Role Madness I
- Mystery Mafia
- and at least one of (M-VIII, Role Madness II, and M-IX)

Two questions about hydra:

It's not set in stone, my idea was:

Aside from that:
Player or observer who guesses the most pairs gets a special mention.

I have an idea for a Seaside flavoured mafia game, with a twist related to a Dominion celebrity (that I will keep secret until the actual time of the game) that I want to mod. I think I've balanced it in a way that would be fair for 9, 11 or 13 (depending on interest). It would be semi-closed. In loose terms it would have a single scum team against town. The scum team would in addition to their normal NK abilities also have a Curse ability that could restrict a player's ability to communicate (they would still have a way to vote, but the way they post would be limited and obvious to all).
-there would be 2 or 3 scum depending on numbers.
-In addition to that there will be 1 or 2 vanilla PR (Cop and Doctor) depending on numbers.
-There would be a town-aligned, but scum helping role that would think they are some other town role, but are randomly compulsively restricting players ability to communicate just like scum.
-There would also be 1 flavoured PR that would be able to reflect the hindrance to communication back at the person who caused it. Not as strong as JK, Doc or Cop, but still town useful.
-This seems slightly weighted in scums favour at this point so there would need to be one or two weak town roles added to this.

I obviously want to keep some of this a secret which is why I won't give it all away, but I would reveal the roles and numbers of all participants (except for maybe the weaker roles) at the start of game. Does this sound like something people would be interested in? Also any suggestions for good weak town roles that might help balance this? I have a couple in mind, but I'm open to suggestions if there's some people have wanted to see.

If people are interested would this be MXIV?

Jorbles, a piece of balancing advice, to accept or reject as you see fit:  make sure the scum team's Curse power isn't a liability for them.  Cursing a townsperson could have the de facto effect of confirming that person as town while leaving them alive (and voting).  Scum could confuse that by Cursing each other, but then the Curse power has become a liability for them - not an asset.

This was one of the big problems we ran into as scum in Role Madness I.  We couldn't kill anyone outright, we could only kill by degrees - and anyone we tried to "partially" kill was basically confirmed town before we could kill them, and thus easy for town power roles to keep alive.

yep, they're annoying, nobody likes them.

Make sure that the post restriction is robust and makes sense even when the town and the person who has it tries to get around it, and that that doesn't break the game.

I gotta say the post restriction I had in BRMM (which I shouldn't discuss but meh :P) was pretty fun, if a bit difficult. Basically I had to say the opposite of what I meant, and I ended up reminding people by posting a big lie at the beginning or end of most posts.
Title: Re: Mafia Queue
Post by: Jorbles on September 11, 2012, 10:09:36 pm
I know some people dislike post restrictions and I would honestly say that they should probably not play this one as it'll be one of the major mechanics of the game. The goal is to make a fun game, though, even with the post restrictions.

The post restrictions will be flying around not just from scum, but also from the Compulsive Towny so there's at least one other guaranteed way that post restrictions could hit scum or town. Scum can also use it on themselves if they want, which can be used to make themselves look towny. I've already thought of a few ways that Cursed people can get around it in a limited way, but none of them break the restriction. I will make sure I explain it in a way that can't be misunderstood, though. I do want to make the restriction in such a way that it helps scum, not hinders them. I will consider that carefully when I am phrasing it.

Be careful of including both Cop and Doctor.

After RMMI, I have another RMM set up that should be a little more fun for everyone involved.  It won't use any crazy mechanics changes (i.e. the VP thing), no role changing, no cults.  It will have a bigger emphasis on flavour, particularly in the use of flavour cops.  Not sure when I could run it though -- there seem to be several games queued up?

Oh right, Cop and Doctor can be super powerful I was only going to include them both in the 13 person game, but you raise a very good point. I will keep that in mind so that there isn't a follow the cop game. Maybe I'll make one a JK instead.

Not at all! I am a big fan of pokemon but am far from a gen 1 purist. Fair warning though, it will probably draw a lot of theme from gen 1 (i.e. mafia is Team Rocket).

I've never played or watched Pokemon in any fashion. I could name maybe 4 if I really, really tried.

No pokemon knowledge will be needed to play, though a bit wouldn't hurt you. I will provide links to a couple helpful resources if you find yourself in a spot where some specific pokemon knowledge could really help (which may or may not happen). The basic idea will be sort of a jack-of-all trades style of role madness where most people have several X-shot powers they can use.

I think it'll be fairly unpredictable and complex but not overly so.

I never did understand the fascination with Pokemon... Or more correctly, the fascination with "catching them all". I was a huge MTG head back before Iceage came out, so I understand why 'collectible' games were appealing... But the fascination with small fuzzy animals escaped me.

So I am going to say this kind of carefully... but are we at the point where we should have more games running at once? I think the main people who would argue against this are the people who want to be in all, or nearly all, of the games. With some of the recent games we have received a larger amount of willing and ready players. By my count we have at least 24 players who have played at least 2 games (that isn't counting any BM games). Only a handful of players have played once and then never played again.

I guess mostly what I am saying is that it appears that we have enough people to start games, but we are hesitant to start them because we want to make them available to everyone--including those who are in too many games and don't think they can handle it.

I like the idea of a mafia que. It prevents people from jumping ahead and starting their own mafia game ahead of someone else who was rightfully in line. But it also creates something of a log-jam at the back.

This isn't intended to be a criticism of any player or moderator in anyway, but more just an analysis of the current situation.

I for one am going to start limiting myself to one game at a time. Any more is too many for me. But I would like it if when I die in a game I can immediately (well within a few days) join another game and not have to wait for the next to start.

Does that make sense?

Since Robz' game has a regular number, it probably shouldn't be considered role madness.  Was someone else in line to mod RMM before me?  Otherwise, perhaps I could start mine sometime after jo's game finishes.  There is one role that is a bit trickier to balance than others.

Well, we usually do have several games running at once. In my own opinion, now and then we have too few or too many games going at once, but usually we have the correct number, relative to people's abilities. I play every game, there are a couple other people who play every game. There's the one at a time crowd, and the pick and choose crowd... and so far it seems like every gets accommodated in the manner they want.

My game should be considered a regular game, MXI, for official purposes. I am going to begin MXI as soon as either MVIII or MIX finish (and it's my guess that they will both finish very soon). And then the only other currently running game is BMV (ZM1 will also end soon.)

I believe that either a RMM game, or even Volt's MXII, could begin when BMV concludes, probably during the early part of my game, which will at that point be the only game running.

Personally, now that I have games winding down, I find I just don't have time to put in to so many different games. I used to be in them all, but finally made myself skip M-X, and almost skipped M-XI as well.

I think my limit will be one normal game and one BM/RMM game. No more than 2 though. And if other games launch during, well that's just peachy. Besides, if we keep waiting for games to launch as a block of 20+ players, there won't be much space for smaller or varied size games. So maybe it's better to have one massive game running and then whatever others want to launch can, if they can get the sign-ups. Just launch when full, and don't worry about "but X said they would play when game C finished" - hopefully when "C" finished there will be another ready to launch.

The thing with this, is that I want to prevent toes getting stepped on. Because people are likely to sign up for this game, knowing it is going to start soon, instead of signing up for another one that is waiting for other games to start, thus either delaying the other game's start or lowering the amount of people playing in it. That is my main concern.

Yeah, I think it's a bit too slow atm as well (with me being alive in zero games, rage). It might be because a lot of people are playing CE? I think personally I'd like to be in ~3 games at once, so having them start a bit faster would work better for me . It's not like it's mandatory to sign up for every new game, if you feel you're in too many, just skip one.

Should all planned games simply open for sign-ups as soon as the mod thinks they are ready, and then when enough players sign up the game launches?  That way whenever a player feels like they want to join a new game - whether because they've been killed out of their current one(s) or because those games finished - they can just come here, see what games are open for sign-ups, and pick one that suits their fancy.

In any case:  using the current system, my plan is to open M-XII for signups once Robz's M-XI starts.  M-XII will then start after both M-VIII and M-IX are completed.

That's how I feel--just leave it up to the mod. If there are too many games starting up too soon, then the mod will struggle to find spots, and things should slow down.

I am open for suggestion about when exactly I should start and of course I'll follow the queue. First time mod, here. XD

One idea, Dsell:
In a themed game like this, you should perhaps provide scum with viable fakeclaims?

I've thought about giving the mafia aliases and might just do that. It might not be necessary though, because there will be major dangers to massclaiming built in to the game.

Everything should be 1-shot powers of their respective Pokemon, with a complete list up front. Then each player randomly receives a list of X Pokemon at the start of the game in which he must choose Y to carry into battle with him. That way nobody is the same but there can be some overlap and it gives more role-deciding in the hands of the players. The scum team should have a larger, collective list that they can choose from each night (again, each only being 1-shot, then the Pokemon is used).

I want to play the Pokemon game. But I also think my insights from BMV could help in balancing the design. Your call.

I am only truly acquainted with the first 2 generations, so I applaud the move towards originals.

Who would be interested in a Pokemon themed Role Madness game? I've just started designing a largish (I'm thinking ~15 players) one so it'll be a little ways off, but I'm thinking it'll be pretty cool. I'd also majorly appreciate it if someone could back-up mod and look over the set-up when it's more completed. But again, it's a ways from being done.

I would be in for this if I can be Snorlax.

Insomniac mentioned that he would like to play in the next Blitz game, and I'd like to mod a game. This seems to be a perfect fit for me to mod ZM2. When would it be best to run this game? ZM1 took four real-life days (obviously short, that's the point of Blitz). We've talked about how most mafia games are winding down, though others (like MXI) will be starting up soon. Would people be interested in another blitz game? Would it make sense to "jump" the queue a bit and start it before other longer, more involved games? I would keep it the exact same setup (size, roles, time limit, etc.) though I do not think I would reveal which power roles the town gets (so, semi-open or semi-closed, whichever it is).

I thought about doing something like this and I think that's a very viable setup for a mafia game, but it's not quite how mine will play out. Mine's gonna sorta be more, "You're a pokemon here's these moves you can use." But what this means is that (nearly) everyone will have at least four unique X-shot actions that warp the game in various ways. Like I said, I think it will be pretty crazy, but not bastardly for the people playing. It's gonna be freaking insane for the mods behind the scenes though.

I think*there's a general consensus of go for it, and if people want to join, they will. The big boss's you might want to clear it by are Voltgloss/Dsell/Gruj who do (or might) have other things in the works. But I really don't see ZM games interfering with other launches since if they're short people they will have to wait at most 4 days for the ZM Games to end.

To confirm, I have no problem with other games being open for sign-ups while mine is open as well.  If I can't get enough players because people are in other games, well, I'll just have to wait until some of you die out of those games.  That never takes very long.  :)

I was worried on 2 accounts.
1) I thought ZM1 left you too hurt
2) When you locked XI you said in the coming "DAYS" as opposed to "Later today"

Well, I really had intended to wait until either MVIII or MIX had concluded, but everyone is clamoring so desperately for more mafia at this instant that we may begin a little early. MVIII and MIX involve very few people at this point, so I think it's fine if the people in those games just hang back a bit for the very early part of M XI Day 1.

I would suggest starting a game when it looks like MXI and MXII are about half way over... we need to scatter the games a bit more rather than starting them all at the same time. It is easier to follow games if one is in day 1 and the other in day 3, but much harder to follow when both are in Day 1.

Part of the problem is that both MVIII and MIX ended around the same time--although they started near the same time as well, I remember being confused when Insomniac was still posting in MVIII while I thought he had been nightkilled....

But mostly I think this just shows that waiting for a game to be over isn't the best way to start a mafia game. Starting a new game midgame of another I think would be best. Yes it means that some players who only play one game at a time (players like me) might miss it if they are still alive, but they can just join the next one when it starts midgame of the previous one.

I think the issue was further exacerbated by those two Day 1's overlapping with Blitz Mafia Day 1.
Yeah. After planning mine to start on Monday, I was surprised to see MXII also got off the ground so fast.

I've got MXIV basically ready, but I am obviously not starting it now. I just wanted to know what the usual timeline is between games. Also @Grujah when were you planning to start MXIII?

I would suggest starting a game when it looks like MXI and MXII are about half way over... we need to scatter the games a bit more rather than starting them all at the same time. It is easier to follow games if one is in day 1 and the other in day 3, but much harder to follow when both are in Day 1.

THIS THIS THIS. I did very little yesterday other than play mafia.

And you loved every minute, I could tell. :)

It's great to get all this feedback. I'll plan to start signups when MXIII starts D2 and not start until at least 3 real life days have passed after that, possibly more depending on the states of any existing BM, RMM and Blitz games at the time.

I'm still waiting on a Night Action if you guys are wondering why BMV is stalled. I won't say whose, but it starts with an O ... and ends with an O. And it's the same O.

Wouldn't it be funny if we all met in real life? I picture O as so fundamentally O-like. And Jo, you are the onah, not just any onah.

What if Galzria's real name was Kevin or something? Just wouldn't fit...

Namefishing? Stop speculating about irl setup. Vote: Robz

Hey, some of us role claim our names right off the bat... by using our actual names!
I have claimed ~70% of my first name too! (Eevee -> Eevert. Yeah it's a weird name.)

That name is unbelievable. That's like a Miller/Vig. [Vote: Eevee]
Please make me a miller/vig in your game. Please!

Galzria is so obviously Kevin, the jig is up. No suspense there anymore.

Even better, two 15 player games, 6 scum (Two scum "leaders" - one per thread, each with his own QT) - Each new game day the scum leaders are randomized to which thread they belong. Then the remaining scum are randomized to be split as evenly as they can. Then the rest of the players are randomized in. So each day both threads are changing players around randomly - but there's only one scum team and one town. Scum members can only post in the QT of the leader to whom they belonged that day.

I guess I should post here that I would like to host another game and get in line. I finished hosting mx recently so am ok if a few people want to jump ahead if me.

It will be a unique game based off one from mafia scum that involves a draft process...

Is it a variation of Pick Your Power X/Y (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Pick_Your_Power_X/Y) because that one looks cool?

Yes it will be! I am a little hesitant about it because it appears to have never been played before, so I may or may not change it up a bit. But I think it has some great potential and some new twists that I think our theory guys will either hate or love.

Would people play a Deep Space Nine themed game? What with the threat of changeling infiltrators it seems like a perfect fit, and I've already thought of a few cool role gimmicks.

at the rate that people are coming up with new games, we need to 1. start more games 2. recruit more people to populate them

and yes, sounds interesting

Like this might be a game where flavor claiming is actually encouraged (because hell, it always seems to happen anyway.) But instead of hunting for (insert franchise bad guy), you're hunting for the changeling infiltrators, and they could be Bashir, Dax, Garak, anybody. Of course, if the idea is encouraging flavor claiming I'd have to shy away from obvious stuff like making Bashir a doctor ... Well I'll keep thinking about it. Not gonna run another game for a while anyway.

Yeah, yuma, this is happening. Add me to the end of the cue. DS9 mafia, a non-bastard game. Don't know that I'd even call it role madness, although everyone will probably have at least a little bit of a role. Basically the setup will be a more complicated version of the setup Voltaire used for ZM3 - semi-open, and players won't know whether they're hunting for changelings, Maquis, or mirror universe doubles (or some combination). They'll have 3 different cops, 1-2 of which could end up naive.

Bastard games, by nature, are not balanced. We haven't had a true Bastard game in awhile. I think Frisk's was the last? Maybe Ozle's - but that wasn't really Bastard Mafia (nor was Joth's).

Both Ozle's and Joth's bastard mafias were (imo) the fun kind of bastard. There were some unusual roles and surprising twists, but the games still felt like a normal mafia game and it was possible to play them "seriously".

@eevee That's sort of what I want to go for.  Very interesting roles that are outside of the normal, some mechanics that may break the regular game, but no guarantee that they'll go off.  Others just enhance the craziness of a regular game.  Some minor balancing would be nice to make the game mildly playable.  Hence the request for setup help.  I can do all the modding by myself I think.  This wouldn't start until at least mid-October.

Which is exactly why they weren't true "Bastard" games. :P

Indeed, Ozle's was my favorite game to date - so I'm certainly not knocking them. I just think that in retrospect they can't really be considered Bastard games... They just don't exist on the same level as "every player is a SK", or "every player is a Jester", or even "You're all Cult leaders, divided into 4 Cults, GO!".

Both Ozle's and Joth's fell more under Role-Madness than Bastard. At least in both of them we had a sense that an actual Mafia game was taking place.

The daybus was not OP. It never protected anyone on my team, and got Robz killed (when I bussed him with an obvtown to protect him, and obvtown turned into obvscum overnight forcing him to reveal the daybus). Our team would have done better had I never used the daybus in the first place and if I'd played as straight VT. It was fun, but not particularly good.

No, I totally nerfed it when I gave it to theorel. I think that was the lesser of two evils, because if I hadn't it would have been a really infuriating endgame.

If I ever use it again, it will NOT have a "no using it on you or your partner" restriction, but it WILL have a "no using it on the same target two consecutive days" restriction.

Also a big thing about the daybus that was supposed to weaken it is that you had to declare the targets before the day start, which involves a certain amount of tricky prediction.

We assign a number to each race/power.

there is a roller that can guarantee trustworthyness as you can have it emailed to people when you roll it.

I am not interested.  Small world is one of those games that IMHO is best with 2.

The problem I have with 2 player is the LACK of politics. Don't get me wrong 2 player small world is great but sometimes you just can't beat the Mining Iron Dwarves and their silver hammers (been playing underground more recently so thats fresh in my mind). In 3+ players if someone gets a lead you just gang beat him for a while and it levels out.

We can certainly discuss que jumping or allowing other games to start before others, but I at least wanted to put this compiled list up, Axxle once we figure out how to put this together, could you add it to the front of this page to avoid future confusion?

I guess I should post here that I would like to host another game and get in line. I finished hosting mx recently so am ok if a few people want to jump ahead if me.

It will be a unique game based off one from mafia scum that involves a draft process...

I might want to jump ahead of you  :'(

I think people dual-modding games is probably a good way to reduce the oversupply of eager mods. I think Dsell enjoyed comodding MVI for example, though you'd have to ask him.

Here he says he wants to jump in front of me

Bastard Mafia VII - Not sure the exact rules, but you are not allowed to post with a BAC of less than 0.08. (including the mod)

Will definitely have a drinking flavor to the roles.

Based on this (hopefully a little leniency on the no talking about ongoing games rule):

Of course, honor system on whether people actually would be drunk. I sort of think it would be hilarious, but also it seems like it would involve a lot of drinking alone, basically, which I don't support.

One possibility would be running this drunk-game over skype as a semi-irl experiment? I dont know if that would work or if people would be interested, but that way we'd only need to get drunk once to get it done.

Surely if they are gaming the system to play when sober, they will be sober enough to realise they can just give the wrong answer?

I think a photo of an increasing number of empty bottles would be a good indicator. Sure they can game it by not drinking those bottles, but that would be a real waste of money!

So day 1 you have to show a picture of 2 bottles before you start, and then every third post up that bottle count by 1 more!

This would reward the people able to handle their drink!

Apparently this is where I talk when it's night! I've never heard of google hangouts before, but quick googling tells it's free, easy to use and supports up to 10 people, so it definitely sounds like something that could work. People seem really interested in playing this BAC-mafia, so much so that no one wants to be the moderator?

// Oh wait, Axxle did?

//// As I said earlier,I think making this work as a normal game would be hard because no one / not everyone wants to drink home alone every other day for two weeks. Blitz however, preferably off forums (could me multiple games that way too if we so decide, so even the moderator got to play!), could work super well! Or a longer game here in the forums that pretty much only runs on weekends? Latter would be hilarious, because people could use sobriety as a reason for lurking, but I kind of think former would be more fun. After all, mafia is a party game. An online party doesn't sound lame at all and I'm not nerdy.

I could (and would!) Play a blitz format that's designed to play over a span of like, 6 hours (2 hour deadlines, 30 minute nights). This would allow me to get completely hammered all in one go (Friday or Saturday night) without interfering with too much (like work or my girlfriend). Plus, it would allow me to far exceed the limit of what's reasonable withoutfeeling terrible. ;D

I mean yeah, that's what I mean! Although I was thinking we could do even shorter games, after all the objective is for everyone to leave their computer only to get another drink. We could maybe run two or three games and the moderator would get to play too, if we had 30 minute days and 10 minute nights or something like that.

Flavour teaser...

His castle was in ruins, and his province was in open revolt, but Ozle was not daunted. Luckily he had hired that body double at the last minute, he knew that FTL guy wasn’t to be trusted!

However, he now faced several problems. Firstly he was supposed to be dead which caused all sorts of legal problems when he tried to apply for a mortgage on a new house as his castle had been destroyed by lightning. Secondly a lot of his business plans had been taken over by rival corporations and Mafia scum and so he was on the wrong side of the poverty line.  And finally, his crazy Uncle was out and about causing all sorts of mayhem.

What he needed to do was to pull himself together, get himself back in with the town and rebuild his reputation and fortune. But this was Ozle....

Instead, what he did was buy a treasure map off a local adventurer (who was much more liked than the previous incumbent Yuma) and assemble the greatest crew of explorers known to Anachronisms and set sail across the handy local uncharted sea in search of gold and adventure.....but mainly gold.....well, only gold if he was honest

You know, in RMM1 before all the role-investigators and role-swapping came out in force I was thinking of claiming Hamlet and giving it some Shakespearian/Jester-like flavor.

Shakespeare Mafia?

DIBS

This will be the next game I mod.  It will be Role Madness.  13 players. 

What's the etiquette these days?  Can I open a sign-up thread now, with the understanding that this probably won't start for a while?  I would like to solicit players' suggestions as to which Shakespeare play they'd like to reenact.  But I don't want to clutter this thread with that discussion.  On the other hand, I don't want to step on any toes/jump the queue for any other madness games (esp. Ozle's, which I am totally /in for despite my rage at the end of the first one).

EDIT:  And Pokemon Mafia, don't want to slow that down either!

RMM4 thread is open for sign-ups for Shakespeare Role Madness: Now, Mods, Stand Up For Bastards!

It will be some time before the game launches, even if we get a full player roster, as I need to prepare the setup (and would like to consult with one or two back-up mods, if possible).

Title: Re: Mafia Queue
Post by: Ozle on October 19, 2012, 09:57:19 am
I think we are pretty much running at 2 Regular games + one RM +  1 Other (Bastard, Blitz, etc).

I think its a good standard.

The trouble with opening sign ups several weeks before it runs  is that once people are signed up then they may be hesitant to join in other games, and they will get impatient.

Is there a reason why you need the sign up now, apart from when you have worked it out (Not the very least player numbers to get it balanced?)

I will be selecting source material based on players' preferences and then setting up the game based on the source material.  So, unlike other games, I can't make the setup until people have at least said what plays they'd be interested to see in action.  Which is why I made the sign-up thread.  After material is decided, there will be a time lag before the game itself starts (while the setup is prepared and, to the extent possible, balanced).

I don't quite understand your parenthetical comment?

If people /in and then get impatient and/or want to join another game, they are free to /out.  I won't be offended!

I see, looks like you are doing it the other way round to normal.
Usually a game is set up and checked for balanced and then people apply. So you know the numbers of players and skillset already.

if you are tailoring the game around those people that are signing up then it makes sense to have the sign up first.

I'll be happy to help if you need it, although my Shakespeare is probably nowhere near as good as others.

Question for all: Would it be a good idea to start a separate queue for such games (9-person, limited theme/flavor)?  I wouldn't want to interfere with the existing queue, but I don't think I'm the only person who isn't interested in RM or BM or switch.

Noooooooo. Adding MORE mafia games running concurrently will just slow down the ones that are running now.
Because 50% of the same people would sign up for them anyway.

unless its a newbie one (that could come under the 'other') and is actually restricted to newish players rather than the last few that were full of vets!)

I think its more a question of how active you are in the other games.  I would say you wouldn't count for purposes of early launching such a game, because distracting players from the other games is exactly why we don't launch all the games.

All it needs is for someone to do a plain game and add it to the queue...then just wait till their turn.

LOL at how that all sounds.  With only one regular game on my resume, I'm simultaneously worried about being allowed into a newb game and espousing personal preferences on what games will work.

Under the premise that I'd rather be part of the solution than be a problem, I'll moderate MXXI.  It will also be plain vanilla (though I'll write flavor), and smallish.  Setup to be determined later.

I like the idea of doing the pick your power--especially the draft section--but am a little apprehensive about it.

Perhaps I will pull a voltgloss and open up a thread for people to talk about it before signing up.

Well, you can do the next one! While I think this Queue is a great idea, I think the bastard games should be more spontaneous and fun, like the first four were. A way to get your sillies out while the more serious games are ongoing. You should /in for BMVI if you haven't already.

I just finished writing up 13 roles that work well together for a RMM game.

But this is no ordinary RMM game.

1. Dominion themed! (Ok not that different, but it adds some fun)
2. Made-up roles! (Yep this is going to be very strange as you are going to have absolutely no idea what roles are out there)
3. Alignment screw-ups! (Don't want to go into too much detail here, but it should be fun)

So I guess think of it more of a BM/RMM game. Like the one jo did a while ago without the mod lying but with balanced roles.

I'd like to Add it to the queue  Probably will want to get it started after jo's game and near the end of Volt's.

Isn't that whole game just one giant RVS? Obviously I'd be in, but I don't really see any advantage in talking about.. anything in a game like that? How would it actually go? "So I know who the king is! "I do too!" "Me too!" "I don't..." "SCUMSLIP LYNCH HIM!" "Derp." "Herd da derp." ?

RMM, but with a few twists!

-Each player has a bit of knowledge about the set up of the game
-There are some roles that are completely made up
-Each player has super-powerful powers
-Each player has an annoying restriction (not as extreme or obvious as the ones in jo's BM game)
-Alignment screw-ups!
-Dominion themed powers and role name!

We played likes this, IIRC:

Each day lasts guaranteed 3 days. You have 21 (or similar amount) of leftover days. When original 3 days expire, the additional times starts running out.

It was great, there was time pressure, we had to do things in orderly fashion, but it wasn't harsh. It was "just right". D1 didn't stall and so on.

So to be clear:

Actually, it was 3 per day + 18 banked, or, more precisely:

- All Days are guaranteed to be at least three days and at most twenty-one days long.
- Day 1 is set to last for twenty-one days.
- Day 2 and each subsequent day will last for:
--- three days, PLUS
--- all unused days left over at the end of the previous Day;
--- up to a maximum of twenty-one days.

---
Day 4 started with 7 days left in the bank (+3 regular ones). It ended with a quick-hammer after 3 days, so we still had 7 left.

I have a list of characters for my game, would people prefer a list of them and get to choose, or have them assigned randomly.

Pro's:
Everybody gets to pick someone they like
Its fun

Cons
There may be some stuff linked to certain types of character (But not related to Mafia roles)
Takes away some of the guessing element

Lyncher-Lover-Survivor

You are both lovers with and lyncher of X. If they die, you die. You only win if you both kill your target and survive until the end of the game. Also, you're town and your lyncher-lover is scum.

I was going to criticize this terrible role, but then I read further up the thread. nvm...

Wizards?
Pah in my days we had to make do with a Hoop and a stick!

No, the set up is
3 on each time assigned randomly and in secret.
three players are drawn randomly against each other (could be same team or opposing)
Three threads created.
Players have one day to talk to each other to convince them not to shoot.
Players then PM the Mod 'Shoot' or 'Shake'
If you get shot you die.
If you stay alive you earn a point for your team.
Team with the most points after three rounds wins. (You are able to see previous threads)

Seems like either random or prisoner dillema thing or.. well, I don't know. We can try it out :D

Well, at least first day, second day there might be not so random.
Also, it's quite better to shoot first day, as it is 60% enemy and 40% friend that you are facing that day.

Heh, unlikely though, I'm just about to pull MMMM II

Just a quick read down the forum:
RM 3 : Day 3
MMMM 2: Sign Ups
RM5 - Sign Ups
BM VI : Day 1
ZM3 - Looking to start

MX - About to start
M XI : Day 3
MXIII: Day 1
M XIV : Day 1
MX V - Sign Ups, Starts in a week or two
MXVI - Sign Ups


Hanabi I : Midway?
CE III  Midway?
CE IV Midway?
Resistance IV:  30% done
Diplomacy 2: Signs Ups Open


3 Games on Day 1,
1 massive game only on day 3,
a BM with no info that means it will take ages (See Frisks BM for reference) on Day 1.
 two more that are likely to start at any time now.
4 other games ongoing at the same time.

And its slowly creeping up as it goes on.
Most of the people in a lot of those games are the same, its just going to make each game feel a bit weaker with less time to read, analyse, etc...



tl;dr version: Waaay to many games going on at the moment to even have sign ups for another one!

People need to be more patient and not start opening games in an eagerness to get things started.
Theres no reason why a sign up needs to be open weeks before a game starts, what purpose does that serve?

So, in this light, MMMMM 2: Ozle and the Argonauts will be put on hold until such time as there is a manageble number of games again.

I personally see nothing wrong with opening games early. In fact I see a benefit to it and one that I have personally used.

Having multiple games open at a time allows players to have more choices in which games they can choose to play. For instance, while Grujah's XIII hydra game is cool and has an interesting mechanic, it wasn't really something that I was interested in participating in. However, if it was the only game available, I would have joined it to have something to play. But since Jorbles game was open instead, I joined that, because it looked like a game I was more interested in playing.

Multiple games open at a time allows players to be more selective in which games to play. If you want to play all the games, join all the games. If you don't want to play a certain game, don't play it.

Ozle, I would hope that my opening of MVI didn't cause you to to shut down your game. It appears that it did. If so I am sorry, and I hope that you will open it again as that was certainly not my intent. My intent was to allow players to have an opportunity to look at the game I am running and decide if it is something they want to play. If not enough players sign up, I'll either cancel it or modify it.

Sure it makes the que a little crowded and there is a delay in starting games, but I don't see that being a problem.

I know nothing about the other forum games myself aside from mafia.... so I can't comment on them. But we have yet to have a game where no one joined. And yes, it does suck for a mod to not have a game get off the ground. However, from a personal point of view, I would think that if not enough people joined my game it was because 1. it needed to include too many people or 2. wasn't an interesting setup. That can be remedied by 1. waiting for enough players to join 2. changing the number of players needed or 3. altering the setup.

However, that is how I would deal with my game not getting off the ground and I understand that others may be frustrated. To that end I think that if someone is ambivalent about joining my game or someone else's I would say to join the one that was queued first.

Originally, my game had 25 players, not including a few regulars like theorel, pingpongsam, archetype, lekkit, and jorbles. So I think 30 is the absolute maximum. Only half those people play reliably. Only I, Robz888, play every game. Frisk, Eevee, Galzria, Jotheonah, and Insomniac play nearly every game.

What if we bumped newbie games to front of the queue as long as the majority of the players in them are actually newbies?

I think mafiascum actually recommends that about a third of players in newbie games actually be veterans so they can assist in educating the newbs on the basics (theory, terminology, rules, etc.) so Robz, and some other vets could take part in them if they wanted. This actually wouldn't draw much away from people trying to organize existing non-newbie games because the games bumped to the front would be full of people who by definition are not playing in the other ones (the newbs), and it would help build the population of players up so those other games can actually get going.

Nope, no more games from me until it gets under control.

If people seriously think that the number of active games and sign ups is not affecting the running games then they are not reading.

How many lurkers in each game these days? From the viewing Ihave been doing, its at least 50%
And people in more than one game have to come in and read all of them because if they read one and reply and not the other, well thats going to get them voted for as lurker-scum!

The trouble with all the fancy theme games is once you have read the role pm then you are just left with normal mafia and funky ruleset

And with all new games pretty much been role madness, most with crazy made up roles it changes from the actual mafia game mechanic, you cannot analyse wagons or night actions

That's actually why I wanted to make mine (MXIV) Open, so players could still approach it like a normal mafia game, even if there were some weird mechanics. I'd recommend trying to make weird games Open if possible because it gives players more to analyze, and makes wagon/night action analysis actually possible to conduct. The only problem with this is you have to spend a lot of time thinking about every role/mechanic to make sure they don't schew the game strongly in favour of one team or another. I don't actually think this is a bad thing because that will force you to attempt to create a balanced game. This might require more vetting from experienced players/backup mods before game start, but I think that's a good thing.

Yeah, I take full credit/blame.  It had been open a month or more, I bumped it two or three times, and we couldn't get to 9?  The final straw though was Hydra starting, and there were something like 4 posts in 24 hours.  I concluded, accurately or not, that folks just don't have time for mafia.

It's Buffy-flavored, but normal game, although with more flavor.  Not bastard, not role madness.  Roles are done, PMs almost written, no sign-up thread or anything.

I am willing to make mine a more normal game if that is the consensus. I like the idea of doing the draft mechanic, but if it isn't popular I am ok with switching it over to a simpler game. I'll cross post this in the MXVI signup thread for comment

It's Buffy-flavored, but normal game, although with more flavor.  Not bastard, not role madness.  Roles are done, PMs almost written, no sign-up thread or anything.

I will definitely need a co-mod.

just wanna say: you should make absolutely sure, with a setting with flavor this strong, that your setup is not breakable with a mass-claim.

Good advice.  I keep running through those scenarios, and how to keep it from being breakable.  Luckily, I'm using C9++ to set it up, and that's a well-known open setup.

fortunately, buffy has plenty of characters who could be town or scum (angel, spike, tara, willow, faith), so maybe there's not toooo much trouble there.

still, you might consider giving fake-claims to the obvscum roles at the start (eg: you are The First Evil, SK. there is no player who is Giles in the game; you can claim to be him with impunity)

Nice idea.  I've actually solved the name-claim problem, though.  You'll see if you sign up/spec, whenever it actually opens.

Been having this weird idea for a Doctor Who themed RMM game.

Except Mafia has to kill The Doctor, but every time The Doctor is killed another random Town-aligned player becomes the new doctor. Mafia would win once they've killed the Doctor X amount of times.

Would anyone be interested?

Welcome to the forums!

While this flavour game would (and hopefully will) be massively exciting, it is also quite a long, long ways off. However, I highly encourage you to jump into any of the other games that start between now and then. If there's enough interest, a game can be set up and run for mostly newer players, or you could jump right in with all the 'ole Vets. They don't bite (usually. Watch out for Frisk), I promise! ;D

Let me clarify... I am ok with a newbie game jumping ahead of mine in the mafia que... not just a "newbie friendly" game... All games are newbie friendly to a certain degree. What I mean by a newbie game is the typical 9 player game that I, Voltgloss or even Insomniac's Lawman. If your game fits that standard then certainly start it up. But if I doesn't I suggest waiting for your turn. I would also hope that this newbie game is able to attract 3-4 true newbies in the same way that mine did (Cuzz, ashersky, Jorbles, geolib) and Volts have in the past.

yeah, I would suggest volt start up signups, giving priority, or at least saving some spots for new players and then completely opening it up once we hit 4-5 new players or after a week or so has gone by. If this game is able to start I will hold off on mine for a bit, but probably not much, because ideally Volt's game will have more new players that aren't necessarily in my game, if it isn't, I will just run mine like I normally would.

I think to ensure not too many games are going at once, plus folks work hard on game set up, and we want to ensure everyone who does gets the chance to launch.

We have an updated game index/queue going here: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5290.0 (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5290.0)

It can be the Buffy game, as there are no crazy twists, etc., just standard mafia roles and flavor fun.  Yuma mentioned a lot ame, but I don't know what game that is.  Yuma also thought a 9 player game would be better for newbies than 13, although on that point I don't think there's a requirement.  My game is ready, but waiting on a go ahead and my turn given the queue and ongoing games.

If your game is an open setup with relatively normal roles and if there isn't going to be anything too (potentially) confusing with different Buffy characters, then I think it would be OK to go ahead and run it. You could take either MXVI or MXVII. My game is currently MXVI, but we can easily swap if we want to keep numeric order. And again I would suggest getting as many new players in as possible, but also accommodating some of the older players later on in signups (such as me, for example).

It's semi-open, with all the role PMs on the mafiascum site available.  I used those verbatim, except where flavor came into play.  It works much like the Waffles game Volt ran.  I'll take sign-ups as they come, with a special clause to give slots to newbies at all costs.  Are there more newbies?

I've got Jimmmmm down, and Qvist is new so hopefully he'll sign up.  Anyone else?

This is still true, unfortunately:

I didn't know I still had that number reserved! I'm really dropping the ball on that game to be honest. I have been really busy in real life and have been overcommitted in mafia. I haven't worked on it much more since sign-ups for several more RMM games went up. I am still excited about it and I promise that it will go up at some point, it's just gonna take some more work and I'm not sure when I'll have chunks of time to work on it.

I'm sorry it's been so slow. Best I can do is promise that when it's done, it's gonna be good.

I am now somewhat less overcommitted in mafia so again I'll try to make headway on it. In the meantime, any and all RMM games can jump ahead and I'll just let people know when mine is sign-up ready.

I appreciate the encouragement, but I very much prefer blitz games.  Also, having now played once as mafia, the possibility of drawing a mafia role again does not excite me.  I know the odds are against it, but...well, I've posted elsewhere about odds, and my luck.

So I'm taking a break for now (from Mafia).  My GF and I are playing a lot of Pandemic (which I bought two days ago), and I want to play more of the forum version of that as well.  You'll see me again in the next blitz game, and I will be modding MXXV when that comes up.  Right now, I'm thinking that will be a normal game, mid length (I'm thinking one week deadlines rather than two), probably 9 to 13 players.  I am open to doing whatever we think we need at that time (within my capabilities).

Mo' pokemon mo' fun.

Speaking of mo' pokemon mo' fun, I know dsell a while back proposed a pokemon themed mafia game and was testing the waters.  I was informed of Dsells proposal by Shraeye on the way home for work when told him I was thinking about a pokemon themed mafia game.  I discussed some of my ideas with Dsell and he conceded that my game was different enough for it to be its own game instead of somehow incorporating my ideas into his game.  This becomes even more relevent if people are wanting to play a pokemon themed game but Dsell just isn't ready to do it yet.  I thought I would propose my ideas to see if I could get some feedback on the set up and gauge interest.

I propose the following set up:

-Medium number of players (~15?)
-Every player chooses to play as a basic evolution of a pokemon (preferably from the first red/blue and silver/gold just cause I know them better) and this would in some way effect:
  -your role (but nothing so obvious as fire = scum)
  -your night/day action
  -your special abilities
-Your pokemon choice is made public (changing your forum picture to that pokemon is encouraged)
-During the day there are TWO votes going on.  You are voting for two players to fight each other, picking who loses that fight and who wins that fight.  The Loser dies like a normal lynch target would. The winner evolves and with it gains a stronger version of their action.  Pokemon that have multiple evolution paths get to choose which path they take (for example when eevee chooses to play as eevee, he could choose when he evolves to evolve into jolteon and get a different power than if he were to choose to evolve into flareon).
-To prevent Scum's identity from being given away, while night kills are still performed by a player, this would not cause them to evolve.  I want the day voting system to be a willful acknowledgement of the town to kill one player (hopefully scum) and charge up another player (hopefully town); this just gains the flavor of being a pokemon battle.

What do you guys think?  Would people play this game?

But what if you don't have an evolution?  :'(

I've thought about this a bit, and would be open to suggestions but I was thinking about balancing powers based on the number of evolutions you have.  e.g. if you have no evolution you start with a better power than others but it would be weaker than the evolved forms of other powers.  Something like that.

I have discussed some details with Shraeye so if ever he learns too much I might have to forcibly recruit him as a co-mod.  If not, and with enough interest, I might consider you as a comod.  I just want to get enough people on board.   Co mod is def nec with the fact that there are vote tallies for who to kill and who to evolve.

I could not care about the number of my game less. It's already not gonna make sense because it'll be posted after RMM5 and maybe others. When my game's done you guys'll hear about it and I'll hop in wherever. In the meantime, I don't want to get in the way of more mafia happening. It's whatever everybody wants. If people will be confused by the switch, I'll keep the name, otherwise I have no problem at all with you taking RMM4.

I dont think I'm going to ban pokemon.  It might just be that because you pick a legendary you get less power than everyone else just for being a jerk... Or maybe you get more.  I want there to be good flavor and I think there will be enough variety of pokemon going around that I wouldn't have to worry about everyone picking a legendary.  If they do... for same.  I just want people to play as their favorite pokemon and that that choice would some how have flavor/role/power consequences dictated by me (awesomely).

MIX - 3 players (sparky, shraeye, angrybirds)

MXI - 2 players (TheMunch, Watno)

sorry if I forgot anyone. Morale of the story is we are getting less and less new players. Not sure why, but in recent games it is certainly a trend.

That could be part of it. I've been considering hopping in the queue to start a more standard themeless game with all normal roles. Maybe another implementation of JK9++, since that's a well-tested setup and it's different each time it runs. Only problem is I'd really rather play than mod...

it's also a natural equilibrium thing. I mean obviously the first game was going to be all new players, and the next games were going to have people who wanted to play the first game but didn't for one reason or another, etc., etc.

I think you are probably right... There may be a few people on the forum who know the games are going on, but haven't joined that may still want to. I think any new players we get will be irl friends or brand new members to the forums for the most part.

And I personally am more attracted to the newbie style of games, or at least ones in which the mechanics are relatively simple (no RMMM for me anymore) and have a lowish number of players.

So ash, from the looks of it, it appears your game isn't going to quite fill up in the next few days. I think I will go ahead and start up MXVI on the drafting processes this week so that the game is ready to be played starting next Sunday. You ok with that? I think if you then started your game at least one game day after the start of MXVI there would be sufficient time to get enough players and to not have overlap between the two games.

Absolutely okay.  I honestly didn't think I'd start before your game anyway.  If I'm full by then, we'll look to start Buffy when you are on D2 or N2.

I've (mostly) finished the roles for my Doctor Who game!

Here some info about it:
- 13 or 14 players needed
- Role Madness! Everyone has a power role! Some of these roles specific to the setup
- Flavor! The game is very flavorful! (though you don't have to have seen Doctor Who to play)
- Instead of Mafia having to kill all the Town members, they just have to kill 1, The Doctor. Well, kill him twice. When he dies the first time, his power and role name will 'regenerate' into another random Town member.

I will need someone experienced with Mafia to quickly look it over and deem the set up balanced. There is some wonky stuff in here.

Signups will be posted once Volt's game gets going.

Boo I mentioned my BM game here first. :P I'm ready too, I just figured we'd get past the holiday weekend and get a bit deeper into Morgrim's game first though. It's more Bastard and less Role Madness, though, so maybe they're different enough to coexist.

Arch, if it's a BM (bastard) game, it's BM9.  If it's RMM (Role Madness), it's RMM8.  See here for the latest queue:

But what would you consider your game, Dsell? BM or RMM? I guess mine could be RMM (everyone does have a PR), but there may or may not be Millers, Cults, Suicidal, etc. But there is nothing hidden from the players, they know any side effects to their powers.

It's not that, being NK'd isn't about who is allowed to play, mafia NK who they think is a pr or who was on to them or who is going to throw town the most for a loop. I always took being NK'd as a compliment even if it was frustrating. That said I'm at 12 games now and am now a leading survivor after being one of the favoured night 1 kills. So tough it out, it gets better.

I don't think you've been "punished" for that in any game besides the one in which you actually made the VT-claim.

The other mislynch you mentioned happened BEFORE that game, and was driven by - among other things - your own self-vote as part of an aggressive gambit. 

And the nightkill is a compliment, like Insom said.  I expect that if any of the scum in that game thought you would be "punished" there, they'd have left you alive as a likely mislynch.

Was scrolling through MafiaScum's setups and found one called Hard Boiled (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Hard_Boiled) that looks interesting. I am not going to be hosting any more games, but I thought I would post this to see if anyone would want to use it, I would play it for sure.

It has new roles that we haven't used before in:

Detective:
Quote
-Investigation: every night, you may PM me the name of someone who you want to investigate. I will return a result indicating whether or not that player has killed another player at night on any night, including the night that your action was submitted.

Psychologist:
Quote
Diagnosis: every night, you may PM me wit the name of someone who you want to diagnose. I will return a result indicating whether or not that player has the capability to kill another player at night. If they have already killed another player, or kill another player on the night you diagnose them, they will lie to you so you will be told that they do not have the capability to kill.

It is a 13 player set up and on mafiascum has 3 town wins and 3 mafia wins.

What you need to do is to make a game and send out PMs using the first setup, and then switch the entire platform of the game on Day 2 or 3 without telling anyone. They'll call you a bastard but what can you do?

Nah, I think both game concepts are interesting and deserve to be played out in full.

I gave Galz the go-ahead to jump me in the Role Madness queue.  I still need to finalize my setup and am fine back-burnering that game until some other games finish up.

Arcana isn't RMM?!

Oz, is your setup complete?  Like, if you had a full player roster right now, could you launch your game?  Because if so, then maybe you should jump me in the queue as well, as my game setup is not yet complete.

Just re-checking balance, and possibly making it 15 spots.

Sounds like you're further along than me then.  Feel free to jump my Shakespeare game in the queue as well.

All, in regards to ZMX (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=6171.0), many more spoilers to the set-up added to Post 2.

This is a reminder that the game will start on Monday, the 14th.  Sign-ups will close on Saturday or so, so I can roll to see who gets in the game, and then roll the roles.  PMs will go out Sunday, the 13th.  The entire set-up will be posted at that time, and the thread will be locked.  Everyone will have 24 hours to review the set-up and think about the game.  Mafia will have that time to talk in their QT.

I do urge signing up, as I believe this will be the most intense game of mafia we've had on f.ds to date.  It is complex and advanced, and offers (in my opinion) the largest strategic space we've ever had for both mafia and town as teams, and as individuals.  You will need to truly contemplate what you are doing in the game, so much so that I will be surprised if there is any RVS at all.

If you aren't playing, ask for the speccy QT.  There will be plenty to discuss!

In 20 minutes, we are playing this forum's first super-blitz game.  I am prepared for any number of players between 4 and 9.  The game will have very quick deadlines: 90 minutes.  It will finish tonight.  It might be fun.

The first game was hilarious.  It turns out I didn't explain rules well, and we had to randomly hammer people.  Also, we're drinking.
Signups for Round 2: the battle for the Saucepan!
1. Morgrim
2. raerae
3. TheMunch
4. Axxle
5. Galzria

Jeez I should have signed up for RMM7 I'm in one game and signed up for the only open game! Unless ZMXI is still technically open, then I'm signed up for two. Also I have a really fun idea for a game to mod but I would want to get mod experience first and playing is just too fun to pass up :)

It depends, what is the other thread tjhat you are referring too?

This one is bored people talking about Mafia and intent.

If the other one is the Mafia Game Index, thats generally for setting up new games, but theres bound to be some overspill, we are a talkative lot. Well except Mogrim, he just turns up to hammer!
