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

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.

[Eevee]

Interested in playing, both bastard and normal.

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

[Galzria]

I'm offended that I'm not queued for all.

[Axxle]

I'm offended that I'm not queued for all.

I want people to queue only when they can take up a new game so that we can have a flow of mafia games going without anyone feeling bogged down.

[Ozle]

I'll add myself in once the games I am in are finished, have trouble keeping up with just 1 game!

[Galzria]

I fail to see why I'm not queued.

[popsofctown]

Robz - All

Lol

[Captain_Frisk]

I'm going to wait until I'm out of M4 or M6 before queing for another regular game.

Please queue me for Bastard Mafia.

[jotheonah]

queue me up for Grujah's game and the next bastard game, whatever it may be.

[Robz888]

Thank you for queue-ing me for all games! This is what I want.

[Grujah]

I'd play Role Madness as well, prolly. Depends on timing.

[Young Nick]

Aw, shucks! M7 will newbie friendly? It's like you're telling me that I have to participate. I mean, it is might tempting.

No. Self. Restraint.

Queue me up for newbie mafia.

[popsofctown]

Haha Young Nick

[Insomniac]

In for all with the condition, ONLY one mafia and ONLY one bastard mafia at a time, if I die I auto queue for the next one

[manda2014]

Queue me up for newbie mafia! 

[timchen]

Sign me in for VII and VIII!

[ehunt]

Sign me up for VIII

[eHalcyon]

The RM game I have planned would be best with at least 15 players, and I think I can easily expand it out to 17, probably more.

[Dsell]

Ok I think I'll be in for BM IV as long as mafia IV is over when it starts.

[eHalcyon]

Ok I think I'll be in for BM IV as long as mafia IV is over when it starts.

I think I'm going to label it RM instead of BM, because it'll be far more interesting if people are playing seriously.

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.

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.

[jotheonah]

ZXCVBN2 is being replaced in MV for inactivity. Please PM me if you'd like to get in on that. Unfortunately, I have to disallow participants in the QT.

[Captain_Frisk]

I'll do it.  I don't have access to the QT.

[jotheonah]

I think I'm also going to have to disallow current, living participants in the game.

[Grujah]

I had access but didn't really participate or read. Meh. As the time goes, for this reason and few more (conflict of interests between games) I'm kinda started disliking public QTs. 

[Ozle]

What role is he? If he has a cool one Ill join up?
And I in no way will sell that information on.....honest....

[jotheonah]

too late. ehunt filled it. Too bad, you would have liked his role. He was a Wouldn't You Like To Know?

[Axxle]

[O]

Yet another replacement for Z is needed, this time for Mafia VI. As nobody current has the discussion QT... anyone who is currently not playing is eligible! Pm me if interested.

[Axxle]

Isn't like everyone playing that game?

[Robz888]

Voltgloss and Pops are not.

[Voltgloss]

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. 

[O]

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.

[eHalcyon]

Anyone in the QT?  Given that it's still d1, they should be able to join without issue.

New people step up!

New people step up!

I don't want them to be turned off by mafia by being put into a scummy slot on page 61...

[Voltgloss]

I want to start the thread for RMM I.  But it's too early, right? 

/impatient

[Galzria]

No, it's not.

[cayvie]

Yeah, ok, I want /in on Role Madness.

Can't resist.

[Robz888]

It's never too early.

[Captain_Frisk]

In for role madness.

Also - in for regular mafias as well.

[ftl]

Someone join us for Resistance II it's slow-paced and relaxing compared to Mafia!

(I'm not in for anything until MVI completes or I die, that game is already more than I can handle at the moment)

[cayvie]

This is probably why it's too early.  I will exercise restraint and wait!

[Axxle]

In for role madness.

You've already /ined

Please queue me for Bastard Mafia.

Nice try though.

[shark_bait]

I'll take the bait.  Queue me up for the newbie friendly game.

[Ozle]

If anyone is lookign for zxcvb6 still, he is currently in Room 2 of the funsockets beta!
In middle of a game now though

[jotheonah]

there's 3 rooms now? I gotta get back there. I stopped beta-in because the interface crashed halfway through literally every game I tried to play. Maybe that's fixed now though.

[Insomniac]

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

[jotheonah]

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.

[Axxle]

Sign ups are up for Role Madness Mafia I (formally known incorrectly as Bastard Mafia IV)

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

[eHalcyon]

Sign ups are up for Role Madness Mafia I (aka. Bastard Mafia IV)

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.

That game is ongoing, you can't talk about it!

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.

[Eevee]

In for the next game as well now that the fools in mafia VI lynchified me.

[pingpongsam]

Signing up.

[Grujah]

PPS, no game talk outside the thread. 

[Captain_Frisk]

And no editing.  now grujah knows things that i don't.

[pingpongsam]

And no editing.  now grujah knows things that i don't.

Not really, I promise. It was a reference to the game but nothing nobody playing the game doesn't know.

[Voltgloss]

FYI, for those interested in Mafia-VII:  I plan to start that game after Mafia-IV concludes.  Will post an announcement here to that effect once M-IV is done.

[Galzria]

/in of course

[Eevee]

Yes, in too.

[jotheonah]

for the newbie game? come on guys, give other folks a chance.

[Voltgloss]

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.

Sorry Robz. 

[Captain_Frisk]

I'll sit out of newb game if need be - but RobZ needs to as well.

Uuh didnt realize its a newbie game, I dont need to get in then.. although I'll still play if you need people.

[ehunt]

I am designing a nine player game similar to MV. I am new to this so I'm a bit concerned about balance issues. Would someone who's not interested in playing but understands balance issues contact me to see about balance issues?

I'm happy to help.  Shoot me a PM.

[Robz888]

In for the newbie game. PLEEEEEEEASE.

[Robz888]

If you want them to get a good feel for how mafia works, I need to be in it.

[Galzria]

You just don't want me to catch up, AND have a more perfect record than you.

[Voltgloss]

If you want them to get a good feel for how mafia works, I need to be in it.

Are you going to lead them all down the garden path of wrongheaded analysis if you're scum?  Like in M-II?  I learned so much that was wrong there, at your and Galz's hands. 

[Voltgloss]

Seriously though, I do think having a couple of experienced people in the newbie game will be good.  I am just worried about them crowding out the new players.

[Robz888]

I agree. But you have to include me. I am a Forum Games tradition!! And I don't want Galzria to catch me

[Young Nick]

Include neither?

[Axxle]

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.

[Voltgloss]

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 

[Galzria]

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.

You're missing 2 people in your count.  Scumbuddies perhaps?

[jotheonah]

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.

[jotheonah]

It might have to be a quasi-bastard game.

[jotheonah]

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.

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.

Eh, town MI/MIII with trollish methods, then scum MIV/MV. Not necessarily random now.

I want to be Colony!! Actually that's probably some sort of cultist.

[Ozle]

Ill give a go at the next bastard mafia game odding if no one else has asked.

I am a proper bastard though...

[Voltgloss]

Now that M-IV is done, I will be starting M-VII shortly.  Thread and PMs will be out a little later today.

EDIT:  M-VII has started and is in the pre-game phase.

[Ozle]

I have a bastard Mafia ready to go, its not particularily bastardy but it should be called that because its also a murder mystery as well as a Mafia game!

(Amazing what you can find the time to do when you are sick in bed all day!)

Got room for 14 people.

If I sign up, would I have to write in character?  Because I'll tell you right now that I cannot do a British accent, or any accent for that matter.

[Ozle]

Nope! No posting restrictions at all

[Robz888]

I am in for all games automatically, Ozle, so in.

[Ozle]

I am in for all games automatically, Ozle, so in.

Plus there will be more than one win condition, so you could catch Galzria up!

Clearly, I should have signed up for something else too. Lynched D1 in MV, night-killed night 1 in MVI... people don't like me. I'm in for whatever Mafia is going on next that's open for signups.

[Grujah]

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.
 

[Captain_Frisk]

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.

[Insomniac]

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.

I couldn't figure out how to make it work well enough to actually try to run though.

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?

--- 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?

Only if I can be a cop! /in for whatever gets started.

Alright with me. I just want the standard Lynch/NK setup with little/no lying from the mod (BM2 was... well...)

[Grujah]

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 etc), but I boiled it down to 2 that I want:

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 - with 1 Cop, 1 Seer, 3 Towines and (2 Mafia OR 2 Werewolves). So, one of Cop/Seer is always useless.

Thoughts?

[cayvie]

I want a game that starts with a no-kill night. (Everyone can use their night abilities, except ones that would kill people)

That way, we don't have this whole ARGUE ENDLESSLY DAY 1 WITH NO TOWN INFORMATION dealie

[Ozle]

trouble is thats a massive advantage to the town.
The best way would be to start at night with an extra townie, and lose a person to the mafia night kill. Sucks to be that person!

[Ozle]

Besides, I gave you a murder to solve from Day 1!
Haha

[eHalcyon]

We could run a nightless setup.

[Insomniac]

Day actions! Give me them!

Well, if it's a massive advantage to the town, that can just be balanced by making the scum stronger, right?

We may be looking for a replacement for Axxle in RMMI.  Send me a PM if you're interested!

[cayvie]

I have a Tarot themed Mafia game setup in the works!

[Captain_Frisk]

In.  Start it

[Galzria]

Holy **** I have a ton of threads and posts to read. 7 games, by last count, and 1001 QT's to each, plus the PM's of Diplomacy.

Oh, and @Grujah, /in
Also, @Cayvie, /in

.....

[Captain_Frisk]

Why haven't these started yet?

[Robz888]

In for Cayvie's game.

[cayvie]

The Tarot setup is for 16-23 players.

I'm wondering if that's actually too big for this forum right now.

[ftl]

Omg that game would be huge.

I probably won't be in for a serious Mafia until RMMMMI completes.

[jotheonah]

If I try to sign up for another game, shoot me.


In one of the games I'm already playing.




That way the number of games I'm in will stay the same.

[Morgrim7]

Maybe.

[cayvie]

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 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

[jotheonah]

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)

[Voltgloss]

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.

[eHalcyon]

Mafia doctor whaaaaat.

[Eevee]

I would be in for that cayvie, looks awesome.

[Eevee]

I would be in for that cayvie, looks awesome.

And dibs on mafia doctor please.

[Galzria]

I would be in for that cayvie, looks awesome.

And dibs on mafia doctor please.

I wanna be on Fuzzy's scum team... It'd be fun!

[yuma]

So I would like to host a newbie/loser's mafia game... same structure as pops first one... mostly one that is a little more basic and simple (perhaps for people that want to play but are a bit intimidated by all of the intricacies of the games going on right now, as well as cayvie's).

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?

[cayvie]

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.

cayvie and I had a miscommunication... so I pulled my game from the board and will post it later... So I guess she will be XI and I will be X, unless someone else is also in front of me that I missed.

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.

[Ozle]

Im having too much fun modding!

Although it was an ambitious first game I think its going alright!

[Insomniac]

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?

[jotheonah]

Dibs on modding the next BM after Morgrim's. I'm calling it TBRMM - Truly Bastard Role Madness Mafia. Glooble has seen the set up (still in progress) and agrees it's pretty awesome.

[Robz888]

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.

One shot SK/Vig then? Possibly with 1 shot bulletproof and a hider role that is actually a commuter role?

I'm going to co-mod the Bastard Mafia game with jo.

[yuma]

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.

[Young Nick]

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.

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.)

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?"

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)

If we can find another player within the hour you can still join.  Right now we have an even number of players.

All the mechanics are exactly the same, and it would ruin perceptions of what a hydra is supposed to be if we make it bastard or role madness.

[Young Nick]

Two questions about hydra:
1. Do you get to choose your hydra partner?
2. Can hydra partners talk to each other during day or night? If it has the same mechanics, I would think so, because it would be the same as thinking to yourself.

[Grujah]

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

1. Random pairings.
2. I'm leaning towards that you can talk with your partner
Aside from that:
Player or observer who guesses the most pairs gets a special mention.

[Jorbles]

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?

[Eevee]

Sounds really fun Jorb, I'd be in. For Volt's game as well ldo.

[Robz888]

I would be in for that, of course.

[Voltgloss]

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.

[cayvie]

heh, i just hate post restrictions

[ftl]

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.

[Dsell]

I gotta say the post restriction I had in BRMM (which I shouldn't discuss but meh ) 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.

[Jorbles]

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.

[eHalcyon]

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?

[Jorbles]

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.

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.

As long as you're not one of those people who only like the first 150 (gen I had 151, and Ho-Oh appeared in the first episode of the anime).

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.

I couldn't name one except pikachoo-choo or whatever.

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.

[Eevee]

Oh yes yes yes yes please!

Gen 1 is the only real set though.  >:( I would back-up mod if I wasn't so very excited to play!

[Dsell]

Oh and eHal, you're welcome to help with back-up modding if you wish! It's gonna be pretty dang complex on the modding side of things, I think, so I will definitely need at least 1 person to help out. I want you to have the chance to play if you want to, though.

[Axxle]

I've only really played up to ruby/sapphire.

I'll /in if I'm not in any game.  I'm having trouble keeping up with one as it is.

... Or I can sanity check your setup and backup mod.  That might be more enjoyable actually.

[Dsell]

Woo woo I'm glad to see lots of people willing to help mod!

It's gonna be really crazy and awesome, but I am going to try to make it balanced.

[Insomniac]

I've played all generations and finished white/black but I far prefer gen 1 pokemon even of the mechanics don't hold up so well

Edit: to clarify I have finished all of them story wise not cath em all wise by I do have all of tem in black

No way.  You need the physical/special split from gen IV, and Steel types are the greatest!

Also, Leafeon is my favourite Eeveelution.

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.

All right, I have a tentative list of the pokemon included in the game and they are all from the first 151.

Pokemon was that thing all the kids in the grade below me liked.

Totes in on the game, obviously.

[Grujah]

I like Onyx and Farfetch'd. Blastoise and Charmander.

Out of non-gen 1 Cyndaquil. Oh, and Mudkips

I'm not big on them at all, though.

[Grujah]

Also, if I'm to do a Themed one, It would be either BSG, Batman or JL (Or anything DC related, like Lanterns and stuff), AGoT or ...

[yuma]

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?

[eHalcyon]

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.

I claim it!

[Robz888]

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.

I agree, I need a game, I was too good and they killed me everywhere!

Maybe a regularish setup - "you can sign in only if you are not alive in any other game" thing?

RAGE

[Galzria]

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.

[Eevee]

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.

[Voltgloss]

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.

The Cosmic Encounters and Diplomacy take very little attention 90% of the time. Seriously. It's an absolute fraction of even the Blitz Mafia.

[Grujah]

Basically what Galz and Volt said also makes sense.

[Dsell]

I don't know exactly where my game will fall in the queue but I'm fairly busy and don't expect my set-up to even be finished before next week. Also, I'm pretty sure it's going to have a specific number of spots and I'm not gonna allow any more or any less. I am open for suggestion about when exactly I should start and of course I'll follow the queue. First time mod, here. XD

[Grujah]

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

[Grujah]

Otherwise it turns from mafia into pokemon knowledge thing.

[Dsell]

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.

[Robz888]

The mafia should be Team Rocket, duh.

[Galzria]

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).

[Dsell]

The mafia should be Team Rocket, duh.

It is!

[jotheonah]

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.

[Jorbles]

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 would be in for this if I can be Snorlax.

[Voltaire]

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.

Well, then perhaps I'll go back to open, but that really only leaves doc/jk, cop/jk as options, right? If the setup is announced as cop/doc it'll just be follow-the-cop, right?

[Voltgloss]

There are plenty of open small-group setups that could be run if you don't feel like doing the "newbie game."  Try checking out http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Category:Small_Open_Setups for ideas.

[Insomniac]

Yea you can absolutely use different roles, I just wanted the first blitz of the forum to be very common basic roles.

Though not the concept - are people interested in another ZM2 game soon (say, Monday?) or would that be jumping the queue and this should wait for awhile?

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.

[Eevee]

Dsell's plan sounds thoroughly awesome and V, yes I'd play! Different setup sounds very good too.

[Insomniac]

I say open it now, theres a huge mafia lull!

[Voltgloss]

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. 

[Dsell]

Oh I have no objections to Voltaire opening a blitz game soon either! Sounds great!

[Insomniac]

You guys gonna play this time?

[Robz888]

It's fine to open up another ZM game--I will play!

Any regular game needs to wait until Volt's is at least rolling.

I think a single big bastard or RMM game could open up when BMV completes.

My game begins quite soon.

[Voltaire]

Deleted a post here - setup I chose was 7-player. Who can help me out and recommend a way to make it 9? PM me. I appreciate it.

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.

Role PMs soon!

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

Cross posting from ZM1: I'd play another blitz game immediately.

Also, to whomever expressed an interest in modding with some help, I'm willing to help (if I'm not in the game obviously), though I may not be properly qualified after just two games total.

[Voltgloss]

That means a lot coming from you - I was REALLY impressed with the job you did on M4.  Thanks again for all that flavor, the frequent vote counts, and the changes in the thread title when day changed to night and back again.  I don't know that I ever properly thanked you.

[Voltaire]

Sign-ups for ZM2: Mafia in Space! are now open. Blitz game, 9 players exactly. See the thread for details on game setup.

[ftl]

I'll probably be in for something besides MXI, since I just died in my other game too. Not a blitz game though. A bastard or role madness game, since Robz's MXI is normal.

[eHalcyon]

I just opened sign-ups.

[Voltgloss]

Now that M-VIII and M-IX are both done, M-XII will soon be open for signups.  Once PM flavor is written, I'll get a thread up.  13 players.

[Captain_Frisk]

We need to get better about launching games a little bit early.  It's unacceptable that we only have 1 game going on right now.

[Voltgloss]

Mafia XII is open for sign-ups!  First 13 come, first 13 served!  Also interested in bringing on a backup mod!

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.

[shraeye]

Yeah, I was only in 2 but my work suffered noticably.  There should be rules against day 1s overlapping.  Or at least overlapping for extended periods of time.  Like with 4 of 6 day1 real-life days over, I'd be willing to start into a new game.

[Captain_Frisk]

+2 to the above posts.

[Voltgloss]

I think the issue was further exacerbated by those two Day 1's overlapping with Blitz Mafia Day 1.

[yuma]

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.

[Voltaire]

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.

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 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.

Well then everyone can at least count on an awesome setup.

[yuma]

so unless another player also wants to jump ahead (speak now) this would put the lineup at:

eHal RMMM3 (coming up soon)
Grujah MXIII (or did this turn into a separate hydra game?)
Jorbles MXIV (Seaside flavor)
Dsell RMMM4 (Pokemon)
ehunt MXV
O MXVI
yuma MXVII
jot MXVIII (DS9)

[cayvie]

My BM was more like a RMM

IDK, daybussing and a no-NK scumteam, as well as an IC scum, are pretty bastardly.

oh it was definitely bastardly. but it was a lot more involved then the standard f.ds BM, which are fun in their own way.

Or - and stay with me here - you can vote for people in other threads, and all the vote counts are cumulative of the whole game.

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.

[yuma]

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 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.

[jotheonah]

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

[jotheonah]

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.

Wow, I've never been pre-ninja'd before.

[Grujah]

Hydra it is. Gonna make it soon, when I catch some time and work out the details.

[jotheonah]

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.

Only three games ongoing, when are the sign ups for the next one coming up? Wafflemafia and Robzmafia are close to night-phase too, I think it would be good to start gathering people for the next one soon if not now, especially seeing how ZM3 failed to launch.

Uhoh.  As I was falling asleep yesterday, I kept thinking of ideas that sounded interesting for a Bastard Mafia game.  Now I'd probably need help balancing things, but I'm tentatively thinking about trying to mod a game.  If anyone was interested in co-modding, maybe we could have a jam-session sometime?

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).

[shraeye]

cool, if unbalanced is alright, I'm pretty sure I can deliver on that

Whatev, sign me up.

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".

// it->them

[shraeye]

@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.

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.

[Insomniac]

A role I've wanted to see more of even in standard games is inventor, I think that role is slick, also the inventor should be able to give out 1 shot stump devices..

[Ozle]

I'd be happy to bounce idea's off.
(Mine was more swingy than bastard I think)


"A role I've wanted to see more of even in standard games is inventor, I think that role is slick, also the inventor should be able to give out 1 shot stump devices."

Yeah, that was my favourite...

[jotheonah]

I love that role.

I felt like I needed to include the bastard label on account of all the lying I was going to do. But then I ended up giving town a lot of hints in terms of the arbitrary rule and the PINL so it wasn't as bad as initially conceived.

Jo didn't nerf the day bus? FTL died because I caught him in a lie.

[ftl]

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.

He did reveal a daybus but not the fact that you had it, I picked you to posses because I didn't know anything about you.

[jotheonah]

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.

Ah, fond memories.

Is that the only finished game to date that (1) included Cults, yet (2) did not involve a Cult win?  [Due to the supremely bastard nature of the non-Cult roles, of course]

* edited to say "involve a Cult win" rather than "end in a Cult win."  eHalc's role madness didn't end in a Cult win, but certainly involved one.

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.

[yuma]

So I complied this list a while ago about the que:

It appears we have a few more to add... in order of when the idea originated...

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

We should have a blitz mafia game where EVERYONE gets drunk like that.

DIBS!

SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

[Axxle]

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):

I'm 100% in for drunk mafia.  Seriously.  Like 200%.  I might even host that, it would be a completely normal game, with some standard setup, except rules about posting when drunk.  (especially/even) the mod.

I see two ways to do it, either a blitz game or a super long game that basically only runs during weekends. I'm fine with either one.

[jotheonah]

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.

[sparky5856]

Playing mafia drunk is a lot of fun in person. Too bad we all live on separate corners of the earth. I would die to meet you lunatics in person!

[Eevee]

Seconded, on both.

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.

google hangouts are great for stuff like this

[Grujah]

Of course, honor system on whether people actually would be drunk.

Actually, before you post each day, you get a math puzzle, if you get it right, you need to drink more.

[cayvie]

what an expensive game of mafia

[Ozle]

Of course, honor system on whether people actually would be drunk.

Actually, before you post each day, you get a math puzzle, if you get it right, you need to drink more.

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!

[Voltgloss]

Can I be the stone-cold-sober troll mod for the drunk mafia game?

For bonus troll points, I'll drink black coffee while you all are drinking alcohol so I can get more and more raging and irritable while you all get more and more kickball-esque.

[shraeye]

only if you match me cup for drink.  This reminds me of 'pot of coffee by day, bottle of wine by night' party my brother held in honor of Wizard People Dear Reader.

[Cuzz]

I would be so in for this. How about you have to finish a drink before each time you vote? And claiming a PR costs 3.

[jotheonah]

Does anyone want to start up Resistance 4? I read the previous games (and the ongoing one) and I'd really like to try some Resistance.

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.

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.

[jotheonah]

But we would have the same getting everyone online at once problem Insom's original blitz mafia had.

Clearly our roles should dictate what type of alcohol we can drink.

[Ozle]

I need a second mod to bounce ideas off of for MMMMMMMMMMM II (Name in progress)

I have the sub game fully sorted, but need some help with the actual mafia part! haha

[Ozle]

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

[Eevee]

/in, loving it!

[Captain_Frisk]

Just a reminder that we should probably be launching the next "regular" game soon.  M12 is past the half way point, and that's the only normal game out there.

[Insomniac]

Even if I wanted to launch 15 it would require one more, and all the conditional ins to confirm in

K, this weekend I'll open signups on MXIV. It's not totally normal, there's a new mechanic I'm introducing, but the game won't be bastardly or role madness, or with crazy accounts like the hydra game, and the mechanic will be explained for everyone at the start of the game (plus it's pretty straight forward).

I was plenty liked before joining your game! Everyone in the village thought I was a nice little innocent until you started defaulting on your loans to me, making me default on my loans to everyone else... And then you gave me the knife! I was doomed from the start and I blame you!

[Ozle]

I didnt give you the knife....i was dead!

The mafia set you up!

[Voltgloss]

Hi guys, looking for a game that wouldn't require as much concentration as the last few have, with less people than 14, and begins when my current game ends. Please respond.

Still looking for a co-mod for my game, to give it the check over.

Also, quite happy to check over anyone elses game if they want as i wont be playing in any normal games.

DSELL, is pokemon rmm almost ready? The other rmmm may not last much longer. If not, careto swop and do mine next? (you can even co-mod mine if you like)

[Dsell]

Pokemon RMM is getting close to being ready. Unfortunately, I've been busy and creating 10,000 abilities* is definitely taking time. I think I'm gonna take a couple hours this weekend and attempt to finish it up fully and then have it checked for balance. And then changing things around to try to ensure balance could take some time too. I could definitely be persuaded to swap, but I thought your game was a normal game?


*possibly a slight exaggeration.

[Ozle]

Well technically, but then I classed the last one as normal as well...
It's about as normal as a game called MMMMM2 - Clash of the Ozles can be

[Dsell]

How about I get back to you after the weekend? RMM3 definitely won't be over by then and I'm gonna try to finish the initial set up of the PRMM game. If I'm still a ways from being done I'll let you jump ahead!

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!

We need a FG mod @Both of you, I think it is fine to open up in any amount of advance.

[Voltgloss]

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). 

[Ozle]

I think technically my game would be classed as RM, I just like to give them funny titles. This one is MMMMMM II - The Good, The Bad and the Ozle

[Ozle]

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?)

[Voltgloss]

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.

[Ozle]

Can I have my role pm?

Frisk is of course the worst..

[Captain_Frisk]

Frisk is of course the worst..

A game of mafia has 3 potential high points:

1. Getting your role PM
2. Day 1 RVS
3. Day 2+ Lynch crazy times

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 can see your point.  What happens if the trend towards BM and RM and other variants continues, and no one sets up a plain game again?

I looked, and have commented elsewhere.  It doesn't interest me, for 3 reasons.  The on-off switches add another layer to the analysis that I don't want to have to deal with yet; with my shuffle luck, I'd finally be a PR and get switched off night one, then get lynched Day 1; and I prefer 9-person games (or blitz), so things don't drag on forever.

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. 

I'm angry that I agreed to mod it, because I want to play!

[Ozle]

If you're willing to live without flavor, I'll mod a standard 9.

Yes, yes, a googlplex times yes!.

Also, after a couple more games, I would be willing to mod a game.

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 can see your point.  What happens if the trend towards BM and RM and other variants continues, and no one sets up a plain game again?

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

There are bound to be people out there who don't want to run one full of flavour and tricks and schemes! Its hard work modding flavoursome games!

[Ozle]

I'm happy to start it if a full compliment of newish players were found), but if it ends up being:

SFS, Ozle, RobZ, Galzria, Eevee, VoltGloss, Shraeye, eHalc, eHunt, Insomniac) then I agree with Ozle - its not right to start it.

Heh, well if it was newbie only I wouldn't qualify myself.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

SFS - have a look at the switch setup - its far from role madness.  It's a pretty vanilla game!

I looked, and have commented elsewhere.  It doesn't interest me, for 3 reasons.  The on-off switches add another layer to the analysis that I don't want to have to deal with yet; with my shuffle luck, I'd finally be a PR and get switched off night one, then get lynched Day 1; and I prefer 9-person games (or blitz), so things don't drag on forever.

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 am potentially willing to change mine to a newbie friendly setup if enough people prefer it over the setup I originally had in mind. 

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

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.

Haha, I meant we should discuss ideas for it!  Didn't you say you wanted to mod with me sometime earlier?

I am getting too busy so I don't think I will /in on any games for a good while.

[jotheonah]

Oh, well I think I'm gonna make a speccy if people are interested.

[Archetype]

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.

Yours is far more complicated than a regular RMM.

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!

Personally, I think 1-week deadlines are too short.  Bankable deadlines are the way forward!  A la M-XII.

[Ozle]

Explain to me how that works, is the 21 days an overall deadline for the game to end?
In which case, I approve!

[Grujah]

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.

[Ozle]

I may steal that then

So to be clear:
3 Days per day + 21 extra days?

How many days were left over?

[Grujah]

I may steal that then

So to be clear:
3 Days per day + 21 extra days?

How many days were left over?

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.

[Ozle]

That sounds like a good system, and will fit mine well.
YOINK

Ok, question.

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.

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

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)

[Grujah]

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

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:

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!

[Robz888]

Yeah, everybody needs to chill and recognize that there are more would-be moderators than players. I am committed to playing every game, no matter how many there are. But eventually I'm going to be in games by myself if you guys keep this up. Slow it down!

[shraeye]

yeah, mafia is fun.  But burning out by having too much fun is a shameful way to decide to quit having fun.

[Ozle]

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.

You can call that game a Gauntlet of Fools, since it's people who want to host more than play    (oops that includes me)

MXIV is in Day 2, but in general I agree with your point about moderators needing to be patient and not rushing to start a million games.

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.

[Ozle]

Twasn't you Yuma don't worry
Wasn't anybody personally, just the general way its going.

"Multiple games open at a time allows players to be more selective in which games to play"
Which means that half of them don't get off the ground, which sucks for those mods who have put the time and effort into creating it.

15 forums games, spread amongst what, 30 different players?

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.

Are you implying we should be more actively recruiting? Am I implying that? I am, but I don't really know a good way to do it.

[Robz888]

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.

Hm, Does anyone mind me putting up the signups for my game? It won't start for a loooooooooong time (probably after Volt's is coming to a close)

[Axxle]

I'll update this at some point.

[Jorbles]

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.

I am afraid so... I want to play in it, but my schedule is not one that would make that game enjoyable. I really enjoyed the first one... Perhaps over Christmas Break? But that is a long ways off... hopefully it will be Blitz V by that point.

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!

I'm having a harder time enjoying games with confusing mechanics, and the switches, while logical in how they work, add so much confusion to the game.

[Captain_Frisk]

I didn't understand why ZM3 had to go away either.  There isn't that much mafia going on.  ehalc's game is nearing the halfway point.  RobZ's game shouldn't count, BM6 is bastard, so nobody is taking it seriously, and jorbles game is also nearing halfway.  It's perfectly reasonable to think about starting another game around now.

[Ozle]

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.

I don't agree so many VT's in most normal games running and XV just makes everyone a little bit weaker.

[Cuzz]

I heard some talk about running some normalish games at some point soon. I'd be interested in playing / potentially co-modding any game like that. Crazy roles and mechanics are fun, but that doesn't make normal games not fun. Something like MXII would be great, where you have some interesting roles but nothing super wacky.

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.

Having said that, see next post.

Yeah, I'm always down to co-mod. I find modding more interesting/fun than actually playing, but that's part of the problem we have right now.

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

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)

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!

Qvist, you forgot Diplomacy.  On that note, y'all should join diplomacy.  It's exciting, it's fun, it's not an armadillo.

[jotheonah]

I'd be interested in playing a forum-based armadillo.

[Jimmmmm]

I haven't played before, but I'd like to play a regular Mafia game.

[yuma]

I haven't played before, but I'd like to play a regular Mafia game.

If a newbie friendly game starts up soon, I am willing to push my game back to allow it to be played before. I wouldn't want to host it because I would actually like to play having never played in a completely normal game before. (The closest I got was in Blitz1).

[Robz888]

In.

[Voltgloss]

I am happy to host a standard newbie game if there's interest.

[Eevee]

probably going to go back home to face the music tomorrow, i guess i'd have time to play too.

[ashersky]

My Buffy game will be newbie friendly.  PMs are written, co-mod confirmed.  Can start within a few days if needed.

In, and keen to start after just reading through a fair chunk of Mafia I.

Welcome! The forum games here are a ton of fun. We get pretty into it, and it's always exciting to see new victims faces!

Should I try to launch my Buffy game then?  Tuesday sign ups are doable for me.   Standard semi-open set-up with flavor, newbie friendly, no Buffy knowledge required.

There's maybe 3-4 games head of mine in the queue though...I think I am MXX.  If the mods in-between are okay with it, glad to get the newbie-friendly one going.

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.

I'm more than happy to wait--not trying to jump the line.

My game is 13, not 9.  I think we have 2 newbies in forum now, who could have priority in.

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.

Question: why is a queue necessary? Why not allow anyone to start a game whenever they have the desired number of players? I'm not arguing or anything, just curious.

Question: why is a queue necessary? Why not allow anyone to start a game whenever they have the desired number of players? I'm not arguing or anything, just curious.

Eh, it's probably not needed. People just use it to say if they have a game idea and then people can tell them if they are interested.

[ashersky]

Question: why is a queue necessary? Why not allow anyone to start a game whenever they have the desired number of players? I'm not arguing or anything, just curious.

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

[Archetype]

It's also been a bit crazy lately, so it'll probably be more useful when things get more organized.

[Voltgloss]

Sorry, I'm a little confused on where things stand - is the next "newbie-friendly" game going to be the Buffy game?  Or would new players prefer a "standard" setup (a la M-I, M-II, etc.)?  I don't mind either way.

[Ozle]

I don't think the flavour of the game should matter, but if its a newbie game it should have the newbie style set up (no weird twists)

[Voltgloss]

Separate question, wholly divorced from Mafia, but after reading the Pandemic thread and thinking more about cooperative boardgames:

Would there be interest in a play-by-forum game of Arkham Horror?

[ashersky]

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.

[eHalcyon]

I like having the queue so I know what's happening.  I've ignored this whole forum so it doesn't appear in my unread posts.  This thread will still appear in "new replies" since I've posted in it, and I will see when new games come up that I want to follow.

[Voltgloss]

I suggest then that the Buffy game move forward with a newbie-friendly focus. 

[Insomniac]

@eHal alot of things happen that don't show up in here for instance did you know Pandemic, and Gauntlet of fools are running, what about Resistance Avalon? (I'm pretty sure you know Volt offered to run arkham horror)

[eHalcyon]

I know a bit of that from reading about it somewhere or other.

[Watno]

I think i would be in for Arkham.

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?

Abra is my RL friend, I got him to join f.ds just for mafia (maybe somehow this can be a segue into him liking Dominion...he's played a couple games but didn't love it ). He's really excited about playing by forum so I'll let him know about this game if you haven't already PM'd him.

Dsell:  how do things stand vis-a-vis Pokemon Mafia (RMM4)?  Now that RMM3 is done, I will be focusing on getting RMM5 into shape, but I don't want to jump the queue if you're planning to launch RMM4 soon.  Let me know.

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).

[TheMunch]

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?

[eHalcyon]

But what if you don't have an evolution? 

[Dsell]

But what if you don't have an evolution? 

In the game of Pokemon, you evolve or die.

I love the idea! Seems neat. /in for anything pokemon related, unless I become co-mod or something.

[TheMunch]

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.

[TheMunch]

But what if you don't have an evolution? 

In the game of Pokemon, you evolve or die.

I love the idea! Seems neat. /in for anything pokemon related, unless I become co-mod or something.

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 feel bad about taking a forever-long time on Pokemon Role Madness, so I want to make it up to everyone by hosting a bastard game. It's taking significantly less brainpower to throw together so I could have it up really soon, but I'll wait at the very least until Morgrim's game goes into night 1. Are there any other bastard games in the queue that I need to get in line behind? Or are bastard games kinda their own deal?

I dont know if you like my idea enough to get behind it dsell (even though you already said you did but whatever).  Maybe since I have started to work out a lot of the details, my game could be RMM4?  I dont want to step on anyones feet or insult anyone or have bad forum etiquette but just throwing the idea out there.

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.

[ashersky]

I feel bad about taking a forever-long time on Pokemon Role Madness, so I want to make it up to everyone by hosting a bastard game. It's taking significantly less brainpower to throw together so I could have it up really soon, but I'll wait at the very least until Morgrim's game goes into night 1. Are there any other bastard games in the queue that I need to get in line behind? Or are bastard games kinda their own deal?

Latest queue info is here: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5290.0

Axxle's drunk mafia is the only one in the Bastard Q.  I think you'd be fine to start up when BMVII is on D2.

[eHalcyon]

Any banned pokemon?  Legendaries?  Tyranitar has got to be on the upper end...

[TheMunch]

Any banned pokemon?  Legendaries?  Tyranitar has got to be on the upper end...

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).

[Eevee]

People are going to be shocked to learn that I don't really care for the pokemon Eevee.

[TheMunch]

So whats the process now?  I have a good idea.  I have some interest.  Do I make a thread to collect sign ups?  What number is it? RMM4? RMM6? When does it start?

[ashersky]

You can have RMM4, I think, since DSELL is okay with that.  I'd wait until Volt's Shakespeare game is in N1 or so to open it up.

[TheMunch]

Cool.  I made the RMM4 thread.  This is my first time putting one of these together.  I said it in that OP but I will say it here too: if any one notices glaring mistakes with my OP or finds anythign particularly unclear, please let me know.

[ashersky]

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).

I'm holding your spot, so come confirm!

[yuma]

FYI -- All newbies I've heard of have either signed up or declined to play the newbie game.

Do we have more folks we want to recruit?  I still think we need to rope Theory into one.

New players in each game (not counting RMMM or BM games):

MI - All 9 players and 1 mod (theory, Robz, O, Axxle, TINAS, Davio, Goober, ftl, Ozle, theory, pops)
MII - 8 players (Tables, Kuilidous, jotheonah, Voltgloss, Galzria, Morgrim, bozzball, insomniac)
MIII - 6 players (captain_frisk, eevee, yuma, michaeljb, Dsell, eHal)
MIV - 4 players (theorel, Glooble, grujah, SFS)
MV - 1 player (ehunt)
MVI - 3 players (timchen, PPS, cayvie)
MVII - 3 players (Young Nick, manda, sharkbait)
MVIII - 1 player (Lekkit)
MIX - 3 players (sparky, shraeye, angrybirds)
MX - 5 players (Jorbles, Cuzz, Geolib, ashersky, Voltaire)
MXI - 2 players (TheMunch, Watno)
ZM1 - 0 players
ZM2 - 1 player (Archetype)
MXII - 0 players
MXIII - 0 players
ZM3 - 0 players
MXIV - 0 players
MXV - 1 player (Qvist)
ZM4 - 1 player (Jimmmm)

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.

[Eevee]

Haven't the games we've been running lately been of the more wacky nature? Could that be a factor?

[Cuzz]

Haven't the games we've been running lately been of the more wacky nature? Could that be a factor?

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...

[jotheonah]

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.

[Captain_Frisk]

Are there that many players out there who are itching to get into a "new" player game?  I kindof figured we had attracted all of the players.

[yuma]

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.

Hmmm when should I post signups for my bastard game? BMMIX: Cats!

Might work.  There seem to be quite a few mafiascum users that are in a relationship with another user.

[yuma]

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 had an idea for a game which I'm interested in modding. I'll probably call it Masonception.

[Jimmmmm]

In fact, I might start the thread up and see what people think.

[Archetype]

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.

[Archetype]

I also had an idea for a BM game.

Nothing too crazy, just with everyone who wants to play sending me what power they want to be in the game (either real or fan-made), me tweaking it (if necessary), and then deciding your alignment.

[Axxle]

I just played a doctor who themed game on mafiascum.  Worst game ever.  We got down to 1 scum, 3 town, and all of us were lurkers.

Think Jo's BM game, just without any post restrictions and no mod lies. I will be a bit misleading (hence the name) but I won't lie. Everyone will, of course, have a crazy role. Want Morgrim to mod with me, since this seems like his kind of game. PM me Morgrim, if you're interested.

Boo I mentioned my BM game here first. 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:

http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5290.0

[Archetype]

Oh, I guess it's 9. I thought Drunk Mafia was postponed to Winter Break. And besides, Dsell can go before me.

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.

I put you as BMIX.  I think if the possibility of millers and cults exists, it's BM.

[Dsell]

Oh definitely a BM game. I mean there'll be lots of roles floating around but it's a Bastard game in the classic sense.

[ashersky]

Fixed. Dsell Cats is IX, Arch is X.

I had Galz doing an RMM Cats game for some reason.

This would be easier if you would all just post this in the other thread.

I've also got a Role Madness game in the works. I've got all the roles sorted out, I just need to write out all the flavor. Modding will be slightly difficult for me, but I'm willing to give it a go. I'm at my home computer (instead of my mobile) at least a BIT more frequently now than before the election.

3 Games in a row I've been either D1 mislynched (2) or N1 NK'd (1). Not sure the point in signing up for games if I'm not allowed to play.

Can I suggest not claiming VT before day 1 start?

[pingpongsam]

How many times do I have to be punished for that before I'm allowed to play again?

[Insomniac]

How many times do I have to be punished for that before I'm allowed to play again?

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.

[Voltgloss]

How many times do I have to be punished for that before I'm allowed to play again?

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 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:

-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:

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.

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!

(FYI, there is more flavour prepared for Noir Mafia, but I'm waiting for it to hit a new page...)

You need two replacements, or are you just excited?

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.

Drunkenness encouraged.

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

[Galzria]

Does that make the next game DM-II: Battle for the Saucepan?

[Galzria]

Eevee, come play with us!

[ashersky]

Come on folks, two slots to start RMM7: Lord of the Rings!

[mcmcsalot]

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

[popsofctown]

I think I should sign up for another mafia game here.

I want to play a game, but don't feel like perusing the mafiascum queues enough to find one.

Why do people post in both of these threads?  It gets really confusing...

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!

[Ozle]

Oh wait, nevermind me, just realised what you meant.


Ignore what I said

(Apart from the bit about Morgrim, watch out for him, he's craaaazy)

Any blitz in the queue? I'm down for some blitz

[Twistedarcher]

It says Ashersky's game is next up. I'd like to play, as well.

[ashersky]

I'll open it soon, not on a weekend though.

[Voltaire]

Should this be un-stickied now that it's no longer used? Just to help clean up the forum.
