Title: Mafia XIX: Deep Space Nine Mafia (PMs being sent)
Post by: jotheonah on December 21, 2012, 09:20:21 pm
Ok, I'm really excited about this theme game, actually and I hope you guys will play, even if you're not that into Star Trek. I think I've learned a lot about balance since the last time I modded.

I am happy to wait a long time to start this, if too many games are starting at once. But I am really eager to mod again. So let's just see what happens.

IN LIST:
1. ashersky
2. Robz
3. yuma
4. Eevee
5. Shraeye
6. Cuzz
7. Glooble
8. Raerae
9. liopoil
10. mcmcsalot 
11. Jimmmmm

13. sparky5856
14. Dsell
15. Galzria

Assistant Mod: SwitchedFromStarcraft

The game is for 15 players, and the setup is semi-open.

You're on Deep Space Nine, just before the start of the Dominion War. At a busy port on the wild frontier of space, it's hard to keep track of all the comings and goings. Despite Odo's best efforts, a string of sabotages on the station have made it clear that someone on board is not what they seem to be.

It's possible that some crewmembers have secretly defected and joined the Maquis, a terrorist group within the Federation. It's also possible that a few crewmembers have been replaced by their mirror universe duplicates - you'd never know the difference if they shaved their goatee. And of course, there's the constant threat of changeling infiltration, though they wouldn't bother with a team. No if there's a changeling aboard he's a solitary serial killer.

Well, this won't do at all. Captain Sisko will take some crewmembers and trusted civilians off their regular duties and assigne them to investigate for the various threats.

Non-flavored information:
- The setup will either have two scum teams or one scum team and one serial killer. You won't know which.
- Either way, there will be three alignment cops: a Maquis cop, a Mirror Universe cop, and a changeling cop. These three will be guaranteed NOT the alignment they investigate for - but not guaranteed town.
- Everyone else will have a small role - either an X-shot version of a power role or a role of marginal or even negative utility.
- These roles, and characters, will be assigned 100% independent of alignment. Knowing someone's role or character will not tell you if they're scum, exception being of course the cops, and the IC-variant if there is one.
- There will be only one version of each character in game. So if there's a Mirror Universe Bashir, there won't also be a Changeling Bashir or a Bashir prime.
- No roles considered to be bastard. I am deciding whether or not I'll post a list of possible roles. I could probably be persuaded to do so.

Quick primer on Deep Space Nine:

It's the third Star Trek series, and the only one to be set on a space station rather than a ship. As such, it has a much richer tapestry of ongoing plotlines than other Star Treks, starting with the discovery of the galaxy's first stable wormhole (which is also home to non-linear time aliens who some characters worship as Gods) to a full on war with aliens from the other side of the wormhole that lasts the last 3 seasons of the show.

The Maquis are dissatisfied members of the Federation (the intergalactic alliance Earth is part of in the 24th century). When Starfleet officers defect to the Maquis on the show, they tend to do it secretly at first, using their rank and position to steal something to help the resistance. So a nice mafia flavor hook.

The Mirror Universe is a ridiculous Star Trek concept - an alternate reality where good people are evil and evil people are good. It started out in the original series, but DS9 did about one mirror universe episode per season.

Changelings are the big bosses of the Dominion, the bad guys in the war. Odo, the station's security chief, is a changeling, but he was raised in the alpha quadrant and he's loyal to the good guys. They can shape shift into animals, other people, inatimate objects, you name it. In the show, the Dominion replaces people with changeling operatives in order to destabilize the alpha quadrant and get them to weaken each other before launching an all out attack.

Knowing more about the show than that will help you make guesses about people's roles if you know their character. But even all that is more than you need to know for a mafia game.


Mafia Ruleset (blatantly stolen from Axxle)

Game Rules:

General Gameplay and Etiquette:
1. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. Mafia members may communicate at night and during the confirmation stage.
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions. In case of multiple submissions, the last valid one before the deadline will be used.
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
5. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
6. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:
1. A simple majority (rounded up) of all living members must agree on one person for a lynch to occur prior to deadline.
2. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate. Further votes will also be ignored.
3. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
4. Please submit votes as: Vote: PlayerName. Votes will NOT be counted if they are not bold! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous.
5. Please submit vote revocations as either Unvote: PlayerName or Unvote. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
6. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a lynch.
7. This game will have 2 week lynch deadlines and 48-hour night deadlines, extended at my discretion for weekends and holidays. If a player or No Lynch does not have a simple majority at deadline, no lynch will occur, and the game will go into night.
8. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post. This means that you do not even get a “Bah” post. The dead in this game are silent.
9. Do not edit or delete posts. We don't want some players having more information than others.  If you want to clarify posts, feel free to double post.

Miscellaneous/Mechanics:
1. Bold, blue text is reserved for the Mod. No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography.
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3. The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4. Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.
5. Prods of missing players will be issued upon request after 48 hours of no activity. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.
6. Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill.
7. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.


The Golden Rule:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.

that's the goal... everyone has a role, but they should be more like little fun things than game-warping roles.

it'll probably be like halfway in between the two, tbh.

I dont even know what DS9 is (probably too young?), but i really liked your earlier game and like i'd miss a game so /in if not knowing the flavor is acceptable.

i hope this runs at a time where people will have time to remember everyone in a setup this large. it's darn easy to overcommit yourself with so many fun games popping up!

You know why I loved B5 so much more? Honestly? I was a space geek growing up. I WENT to Space Camp in Alabama. Yeah, I was that kid. My Grandfather was good friends with John Glenn. Babylon 5 had a respect for space. They understood and considered the how of space flight. Sure, it was all Sci-Fi anyway, but it's realism felt so much greater for the consideration they put into the science behind the main location of the show.

Yeah, /geekrageoff

I'll admit, I never let myself know the characters of DS9 at the level I knew B5. So I can't knock the show for that. And honestly, as much as I love TNG, I am happy to admit that there was always something of a spark to DS9 that made it's stories feel deeper and richer than other ST shows. So hey, it probably was pretty damn good. But I fell in love with B5, and it's just one of those things now. B5 >>>> Anything else.

(((BSG is also pretty damn freakin' awesome)))

So can I back-up mod/ help you with the flavor?

Glooble. you should come play in this game http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=6052.0

It is about to start and has a limited sign up time--I think ~20 hours left. So if you want in, in soon!

Simple subtraction will tell you that SN9 iss six better.

I was never a full star trek fan (i.e. only watched it occasionally, and not completely), and DS9 is not as good as TNG, but is quite nice still.

That, and Jadzia is the hottest Trek-Chick :D

Still haven't seen an episode of BSG.  I do own it all though, so I just need to convince the wife it should be our next show.

I never had any interest until I caught some of Caprica randomly which seemed really cool.

I'm eyeballing this, but I'm also concerned this will be running concurrently with Major Arcana Mafia II, and I have learned from experience that I really should only be in one "real" (i.e., non-bastard) mafia game at a time.

joth, if the games overlap - would you like me on board as back-up mod?
Title: Re: Mafia XIX: Deep Space Nine Mafia (sign-ups open)
Post by: jotheonah on December 24, 2012, 01:03:53 pm
Volt, you have a standing invitation, and in that case I would also be obliged if you'd glance over the setup.

But, I may be obliged to wait until Major Arcana is well underway to begin, so let's hold off for now.

I appreciate the invite, but I'm gonna have to pass.  Happy to be a backup mod though, if you want another.  On the topic of the setup, don't know if I could help much there - don't know if I would know balanced vs. imbalanced.

I could make you Morn (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Morn). I seriously considered including him in the setup, but there's no role for him that makes sense except VT (or a No Posting post restriction).

Seriously, though, I should probably change that back to just Grujah, assuming you actually want to play.

Derp.  From downstage left: "Hey SFS, go read post 50".

This is why it's best I'm only in one game at a time.

Now I'm off to take my own advice for ZM9.  Hey Robz....

Post by: SwitchedFromStarcraft on December 28, 2012, 09:41:32 pm
Not at all.  The title of the thread is something that stuck at game #3, and we retain it for flavor only.  You'd be more than welcome, and I make that clear in the opening post.  The setup is not at all complicated, and we had a guy in the last game that had never played before.

To enter, you'll need to read the OP and follow the directions.

Yeah, but it's Robz' brother. I say throw him into the shark tank and see if he can swim. ZM-X is a perfect fit.

I don't know how to get the last 4 for this. One or more of the following factors is at play:

1) too many games going
2) people don't grok the flavor/don't think it will be fun if they don't like the flavor
3) people's experience with my games is that they are not fun/ I am a bad mod for whatever reason
4) some subset of the forum has decided they don't like setups with multiple scum teams

Let me address each in turn.

1) If this is the problem, we will just wait and it will take care of itself.

2) You all have been on this forum long enough to know that most mafia games just turn into mafia games and the flavor is just that: flavor. This game will be fun because the setup is interesting, even if you know nothing about any Star Treks at all.

3) This is actually the fist non-bastard game I've ever run that I've made up myself. So if you think you know how I mod based on MV, BMV, and BMVI, think again. This game will be a whole different animal. Also, I am learning lessons from every game and becoming a better mod each time I think.

If you need more assurance than that, I'm willing to post the whole setup publicly and run it as an open setup. The only reason I haven't done that is I'm afraid someone will figure out how to break it and that would be sad. But I will. I've run it by eHalc and made some changes based on his suggestions already.

4) Well in that case, this game is just not for you and no hard feelings.

Are there any other concerns I can address that would get more vets to sign up?

I think you are a very good mod, wouldn't worry about that. You are missing a lot of the veteran crowd (Galzria, yuma, Insomniac, Frisk, ehunt, theorel, etc), I think the problem sadly might be that people are getting bored with playing mafia / want to only play certain type of games (blitz vs normal, closed vs open setups, large vs small games, etc).

Again, I don't think having trouble filling a 15 player game has got anything to do with you.

I completely agree with this sentiment.  This will be a great game Joth, and the flavor and approach are a large part of the reason why.  Don't sweat it.

The only reason I'm not playing is that the games seem to me a magnet for stuff going haywire in my real life, and my belief system is such that I treat that as a message, and have to stay accountable.  It's why I let modding XXI go.  The blitz games are enough to scratch my itch, and modding blitz takes less time than playing.

Agree with all.  I think folks are just getting better about taking it slowly with committing.  I think we're at the right level for number of games...2 regular, 1/2 RMM, 1 Bastard is ideal. 

This will fill.  I tend to think, if it isn't RMM, flavor is more for the mod, like my Buffy game.

Title: Re: Mafia XIX: Deep Space Nine Mafia (sign-ups open)
Post by: Voltgloss on December 31, 2012, 10:05:40 am
I think the delay in getting this started will resolve itself with:

(1) the end of holidays (New Year's);
(2) people dying in other games (cough Major Arcana II enormous body count cough); and
(3) people's attention shifting away from other games (Casino Helsinki being in the intense late stages - and we have short deadlines left so that can't last TOO much longer).

As mentioned in the Shakespeare Mafia thread, I am seriously looking at joining this now due to my untimely death in Major Arcana II.  But I'm finishing the creation of Shakespeare Mafia first.  One step at a time.  Once that game setup is done, I'll be revisitin' this.

At this rate, it's very possible it won't start for a week or two. But I don't want to commit to that. But come back then and if it still hasn't started, sign up. I can run this set up with a few extra people with some minor tweaks.

Sigh.

I hate you. (Not really).

You win. Everybody else is waiting, no need to keep them. I'll play. But I'll warn you now that you'll see a quieter Galz here.

Yay! Galz, come to Boston I'll buy you a beer. Everybody else, hang tight, gotta add some rules to the intro post and make the QTs, then it's PM time and we can start once folks confirm.

Gonna go ahead and lock this thread. As you get your PMs, keep in mind:

1) Please confirm to me by PM.
2) Remember the names of the scum teams are Maquis, Mirror Universe, and Changeling (which is a serial killer) and that 2 of the 3 will exist in the setup.
3) I've given you each a link to your character's page on the Star Trek wiki. It isn't required reading, but it might have some merit.
4) Theory, if you could move this to the active game thread I'd be grateful.

Waiting on confirmations still.

Added rules to the OP and made some clarifications to the setup info, including correcting something that was technically factually inaccurate. My apologies.

Alright, everyone is confirmed, but I want to give ample time for planning and strategizing in QTs, so the game will begin at 7 p.m. EST. Re-opening the thread for (and only for) a discussion of whether people would like to start the game in a new thread or carry on here. Thoughts?

SAME thread. I HATE new threads. Unnecessary clutter.

New thread, more accurate post counts is better.

The solution for more accurate post counts is for everybody to stop posting so darn much pre-game, and also, just filter them out when you do it. I do manual counts.

Another solution.  When the thread opens for game, the first post is a postcount of everything up until that point.  Subtract this off future totals.

Excuse me? I think you'll find that was me! Before your time though i suppose so I shall let you off!

And surely unecessary clutter is the 50+ posts we have in this thread, it can be locked and dropped off and a fresh post started.

Don't be so grumpy! Pre-game chatter is fun, and it also build the hype for the game up nicely. Shraeye's idea of doing the post counts when the game starts is a solid one though.

I'm leaning toward a nice, clean new thread at this point. That way I can put the sign-up list, the rules, and the setup info in 3 separate posts too.
