Title: Forum Mafia - Sign Ups open for Game #1
Post by: yeethaw_gang on April 13, 2020, 07:58:39 AM
As my IRL friends Keep Looking and Count Shrekula know, I am slightly obsessed with mafia. I have played quite a few games, which is why I thought I might try my hand at hosting one! I plan to have some very flavorful flavour for this. I am also in the process of writing said flavour.

Would y'all be interested in joining? It'll be fun!

Cool idea, but how exactly would it work?

Discussion and voting would be separate threads. Roles will be sent in dms, decided through RNG. Quicktopic for stuff life mafia discussion. It's something that we do in some other forums I'm in.

Yeethaw maybe you should explain the rules for people who don't know much about Mafia - that way they'll know what they're getting into.

Ps: I'm in

I would like to know more. I've only heard of these and have no clue what the rules are.

Oh whoop, yeah. Let's see...

So you've got a bunch of people (you always do). Of those people, a few of them are mafia players. Their goal is to kill all the town aligned players (all the non mafia players) without getting caught. Everyone's true roles are kept secret, you have to assume that everyone's town aligned. There's a day phase and a night phase. During the day phase, town members (including the mafia) vote to lynch(kill) someone who they suspect may be a mafia player. Some roles may have certain abilities, especially in forum mafia where roles can be hand crafted (like I plan on doing), for example there may be a doctor, who is town aligned and may choose 1 player to save each night.

At night, all the mafia players vote to kill one town player. In forum mafia, a discussion thread is provided (usually quicktopic) for this to be done in secret.

That's the basics, I think?

Usually IRL games last like, 20 minutes more or less depending on the number of players. Forum games can last up to days, again, depending on number of players.

Actually, do we want to have some smaller, shorter games to get everyone into the swing of things before moving to a big one?

Post by: RanVor on April 15, 2020, 03:16:47 AM
Probably? How small are we talking?
Title: Re: Forum Mafia - Interest Check
Post by: yeethaw_gang on April 15, 2020, 06:24:53 AM
Like, around 7-10 people for a good game

Yes, please, I wish to sign up, where do I sign up?

Post by: yeethaw_gang on April 16, 2020, 07:43:42 AM
I'll do it here. Just leave a reply saying you'd like to play (for those who haven't)

Sign ups for Mafia game #1

Roles in this game:
Roles will be allocated with RNG.

Players:

Game will begin once we have around 10 players.

EDIT: Can't believe I forgot, both Day and Night phases will be 24 hours long. Rollover will be at 7:00pm AWST. That's also when the game will start. There will be separate threads for voting and discussion. Dead and mafia chats will be on Quicktopic. The link will be sent in your DMs along with your rolecard.

Cool. I have one small concern though. Let's suppose we'll have a thread for mafia votes, wouldn't other players be able to see who posted in there?
Title: Re: Forum Mafia - Sign Ups open for Game #1
Post by: yeethaw_gang on April 16, 2020, 08:29:29 AM
Oh no, I'm using Quicktopic for that. It'll be visible only to me and the mafia players.
