Mafia - TOWN WINS!

Let's all play a friendly little game of Mafia!

This game will be geared to newbies; the only roles will be Mafia, townie, and possibly doctor and/or cop.  It will also be Ohtori-themed; in addition to a role, you'll have a character name, which has no effect on the game mechanics.

We need at least seven to play, not including me.  Once we have seven, I'll wait to make sure that everyone who wants to play is in, and then I'll randomly assign roles.  Please PM me if you want in!!!

Update: The roles have been filled!

Re: Mafia - TOWN WINS!

PM MY ASS.

I'm definitely in, but not right at this moment since I'm home. I'll read up on the game x100 tomorrow while I'm at work and not in a position to be coding the gallery like I am right now. cool


Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Gio, didn't we talk about self-image in Key West?  Your ass is totally not fat enough to need its own IRG account.

Anyway, posting here instead of PM'ing me is okay too emot-smile  So far we've got Gio and Arki.  Five to go!

After reading the link put up earlier in the random conversations thread, I think I'd really like to join in as well.  Sounds like fun!

Re: Mafia - TOWN WINS!

Great!  That's five already!  I'm going to cap the population at nine, because with more than that you really need extra roles to keep things interesting, and I don't want y'all to know whether there's a doctor, cop, etc.  So if you want to get in, get in now!

EDIT: Archambeau is in, too -- six so far!

There's a link on the top of the tutorial page that goes to the bulletin board where they play the game.  You can see examples of play there.  But hurry, if you want in!  Ragnarok and Hinotori make eight!

Re: Mafia - TOWN WINS!

::brings her grumbling here::

Depending on how it's played it's usually done mostly in PM, and the results are posted in the threads (a la  Exquisite Corpse), but there are other versions where people decide on who's what in the forum.

Part of the fun is the secrecy, though.


Hinotori made this post, and then went back and changed it later. Such is life.

Interesting!  You could do it that way too, I suppose.  We'll be playing entirely on this thread, like they do on mafiascum.net.  One reason it would be hard to play via PM on IRG is that (as far as I know) you can't send the same PM to multiple recipients without copy-pasting.  Actually, I hope you'll find that playing this way actually enhances strategy; everything you say and do is watched by dozens of eyes looking for Mafia.

Haha, that's true. emot-tongue I'm interested in seeing how it goes on here. I've never played a proper forum game. The way we did it was through a bot you could send various commands to to investigate, kill people off, etc.

While I've never played myself, I have followed threads on another forum, and that's exactly the way they do it.  It was a lot of fun watching Mafia members trying to cast doubt elsewhere, etc.  Unfortunately, the forum was filled with very young and immature posters, so people sometimes got truly upset over that.  emot-rolleyes  Thank goodness for IRG.  Still some young, but mature young! etc-love

Re: Mafia - TOWN WINS!

And Hyacinth makes nine!  Great!  We've got a game.

At some point tonight I'll send out role PMs and post rules.  Please subscribe to this thread, if you haven't already done so.  Day One will begin in no less than 24 hours, and possibly more, depending on how things go.  I'll post "DAY ONE" in nice bold letters when it happens.

Good luck to everyone!

Re: Mafia - TOWN WINS!

THE RULES (cribbed a little from mafiascum.net)

0. Regardless of your win condition, the object of the game is to have fun.  Do not flame.  Be nice.  Remember that lying and treachery are part of the game; if you are feeling morally outraged at someone’s lies or accusations, take a step back or ask me to replace you.  Do not post in anger.

1. Rule One of Mafia: Don’t talk about Mafia.  Do not discuss this game by any means outside this thread unless your role specifically allows you to do so.  (The only people in this game that are allowed to talk outside the thread are the Mafia themselves; they’re allowed to talk at night to strategize and decide who to kill, but not during the day.)

2. Use bold text to place your vote: vote satyreyes.  To make my life easier, if you’ve already voted and want to change your vote, please unvote before you cast your new vote: unvote satyreyes, vote ikuni. You can also unvote without casting a new vote.

3. When a player has a majority of votes, that player will be executed (or “lynched”).  From the moment the deciding vote is cast, that player’s fate is sealed, even if I’m not around at that moment; in other words, unvoting will not save him.  Vote wisely.

4. Night begins when I post the death scene.  No one can post to the thread during the night.  Night ends when I receive all players’ night choices via PM (the Mafia decides who to kill; cops, if any, decide who to investigate; doctors, if any, decide who to protect) and post the results.  I reserve the right to end the night early if someone is taking too long to PM me with their decision.

5. Dead men tell no tales.  Once you’re dead, you can’t post to the thread until the game is over.  That said, if you want to make one farewell post that doesn’t contain any game-related content (along the lines of “thanks for the game”), I’ll allow it.

6. Do not delete or edit your posts!  No, not even for spelling errors.  If you need to correct or add something, make a new post.

7. Do not quote my PMs to you!  It turns out that there’s a really game-breaking strategy where townies can figure out whether someone’s a townie by testing them to see if they know the specifics of the PM I sent them (e.g. “What’s the fourth word in your role description?”)  Don’t do it.  You can state your name and your role; that’s all.

8. QUESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.  Ask in-game or by PM, whichever is appropriate.


The Players (in alphabetical order):

1.    Archambeau - Kaoru Miki, Townie.  Lynched on Day 3.
2.    Arki - Tenjou Utena, Townie.  Survived!
3.    Cerise - Kiryuu Touga, Cop.  Killed on Night 4.
4.    dollface - Chida Mamiya, Mafia.  Lynched on Day 4.
5.    Giovanna - Ohtori Akio, Doctor.  Killed on Night 3.
6.    Hinotori - Saionji Kyouichi, Townie.  Killed on Night 2.
7.    hyacinth_black/Razara - Arisugawa Juri, Townie.  Survived!
8.    Ragnarok - Mikage Souji, Mafia.  Lynched on Day 2.
9.    Stormcrow - Shinohara Wakaba, Mafia.  Lynched on Day 5.

Game Over.  Town Wins!

Have fun!

Too bad I didn't make it in for this round. If it works well, I'm totally in for the next one. In the meantime though, I'll just sit back and watch.

Re: Mafia - TOWN WINS!

Don't worry; from what I've seen, Day One of Mafia games can easily last several days of realtime.  Missing the first several hours probably won't affect anything.  Probably.
