Title: Mafia 2 Sign Up Thread
Post by: Black Sword on 10 Dec 2012, 08:05
Game 1 (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,28503.0.html) was a success, so how about we go right in to game 2?

Recap: Mafia is a game primarily composed of two factions, the village, the majority who do not know their own members, and the mafia, the minority who know their own members. The mafia aim to kill villagers during the night until only their own remain. Meanwhile, the villagers vote on who to lynch during the day in order to weed out the mafia scum. Lynches occur when over half the players vote on a target.

Though the mafia may have the ability to kill a villager once a night, some villagers gets roles of their own whether it be discerning the role of another person or the ability to protect a fellow player from getting killed.

Game 2 has the minimum of 14 once again, but I'd like to play a custom version, which requires 17 players. However, the more the merrier, as it gives me more room for mischief allows more leeway in role rewards and opportunity for players to really show off how devious they are. If we can't get to 17, we'll play a Werewolf variety instead.

What do you say? Shall we play again?

A cesium tree? That's perfect for killing! Just tie the victim to the tree, toss a bucket of water on them, and run!

Title: Re: Mafia 2 Sign Up Thread
Post by: Barmymoo on 12 Dec 2012, 10:19
I'm very tempted, but I'm not sure I'd be online enough to commit. Would I need to check in daily? And how many days do you anticipate it lasting, assuming it's the custom game?
Title: Re: Mafia 2 Sign Up Thread
Post by: Black Sword on 12 Dec 2012, 11:11
My honest answers would be "no idea." My guesses are along the lines of the following:

Checking in daily is always recommended with Mafia games, whether you have a role or not, as extended inactivity usually results in Plan B, "lynch the lurkers."

As for amount of time, it depends. The one we just played around ten days or so? So it could easily reach that much. Conversely, someone could screw up and reveal the details of his Mafia friends to a spy via IM, and the game ends in disgrace within three days. It all depends on the players and how active they are.

Even if we don't get the maximum, the more people there are the better is!
Title: Re: Mafia 2 Sign Up Thread
Post by: Thrillho on 14 Dec 2012, 13:38
I'm trying to stay in character this time rather than just outright surrealism, and it is causing me to suppress things I want to say in the other thread. It's a struggle.

If we're doing a GMing sign up sheet, put me down after she's sick of it. ^ 

I think this would be a fun group to try a forum adaptation of The Resistence. And best of all, nobody is obligated to die in it... or is that bad for this group of blood lusters? :wink:

I've never played The Resistance, but it sounds fun.  I'd totally give it a shot. 

I'm GMd out right now (from a game I was running offline), so I'm perfectly content as a player for awhile.

As the guy who, in the process of games, has killed and fucked a bear (in that order), been a paedophile, blocked exit from a werewolf-infested village with my massive erection and threatened to kill every single person in the game, I personally found your new outgoing personality offensive and unnecessary.

I'm doing the family thing myself. While I'm mostly always by a computer, it's certainly true that I'm using one way less than I would otherwise. So a break (or perhaps extending the current or next day/night cycle a couple days) would be nice.

I found it really hard when people were accusing idontunderstand last game - obviously I knew he was a mason, not mafia, but I didn't say anything. Because I was dead. It's tough, but you can have your I told you so's when it's over! No spoilers!  :-D

You convinced me, through logic that I didn't understand but I was enjoying my killing spree too much anyway, that he couldn't be the werewolf for some reason.

I killed you for the reasons I told you already

namely that you were talking to me outside the game about shit and it made me not trust you! Also someone else raised that you were always doing the 'if I was a werewolf' thing.
