So I just got back from a work conference: I had been tasked with running a gaming session for donors to our organization. I brought a bunch of mafia type games, including mafia itself. It was super fun, and everybody had a great time. I also found out one of our significant supporters is  huge Dominion fan. He brought his Dominion Big Box to the conference the next day to prove it!

I want to do a Shakespeare themed bastard mafia game just so I can name it "Mods, stand up for bastards".

If I wanted to run Temeraire mafia at some point, would anyone at all here be familiar with the flavor?

If you end up making a day trip to Boston (which I highly recommend) let us know! I don't think anyone else is here except Cuzz, who is maybe not around anymore.

It's very likely that I will, I have 6 weeks there and should find some time! Still in the early planning stages, but I'll definitely keep this in mind.

We need three more people for Doomsday Mafia. If we don't get them soon, there will be zero mafia games running -- a true Doomsday scenario.

I'd join it, but I don't feel like playing VT in a game as big as 15 players. I'd join an RMM though.

I have a RMM setup I've been working on but given my experience with the last one I want to take more time to balance it. Though it is definitely less ambitious in terms of fundamental rule changes.

VT is the best role, you need to learn to love it.

I'm about to mod a game with only 1 PR.

I could be interested. I've only played very simple Mafia and in person. What's the online pace like?

That one is long over! But I’m planning to run a beginner-friendly game soon.

Did we have the probability discussion/explanation in this thread?  I can't remember.

Anyway, you all taught this non-math-included creative writing major about the coin flips/doors thing.

Flip a coin (no tricksies) and I have a 50% chance of heads.
Only a 25% chance of heads twice in a row.

Is that right?  I think that's right.

I was just wondering, can that be (theoretically) exploited to make money?  In a theoretical situation where someone is willing to bet on a coin flip (I'm sure this exists), couldn't I flip a coin in advance, see which result I get, and then always bet on the opposite, given I know that the next time I flip a coin, I only have a 25% chance of hitting the same side?

It'd be a long game, but the odds would always be in my favor, so you'd have to expect to be making money in the long run.  To increase the odds, I could keep flipping coins until I do get two in a row, and then make the wager against the third occurrence.

It's clearly dishonest since the person betting against me doesn't know that I've already flipped a coin, but it seems like a highly exploitable move.

(This is assuming the probability rule applies to the flipper.  If it applies to the coin itself, I guess it would be harder to do in quantity, given you'd have to track which coins you flips and what result each coin has preloaded.)
