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).

It is!

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]

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

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

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

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

I can't make any promises but I'd love to see you sign up when it goes live!

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.

[Robz888]

Two minutes until MXI closes!!!!

Well THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

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.

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

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

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.

I modded my first game after only having played 2 games, so I think you're qualified just fine
