Team Mafia General Thread

[zoraster]

I'm not saying that people can't act on the basis of other games, and I encourage them to actively discuss stuff within their team QTs. If Mina melts down in Game 1 and implicates her teammate in Game 2 as scum, then every person in Game 1 is likely to post in their team's QT that it happened so their Game 2 player can take appropriate action.

The purpose of the rule is to make sure each game feels distinct from each other game. Mostly, we just don't want people trying to analyze other games from their own or try and sway another player in another game to take a certain action.

[Zachrulez]

Basically we don't want to play game 2 in game 1.

Fair enough I'd just hate to see a situation where someone can't explain why they're voting me without referencing and ongoing game or I can't defend myself without referencing an ongoing game and then we're all just kinda stuck and maybe I get lynched but the town can't talk about whether the players who lynched me are scummy because they can't talk about and dissect their reasons for voting.

I'll give this some thought.

[zoraster]

QT and Roles are out via PM.

[zoraster]

Clarification to the thing about documents. A team can have additional documents like a google doc thing for tracking votes, but please don't open new QTs or have side conversations elsewhere. I'm trying to keep an eye on 13 QTs as it is. I appreciate that might get a bit messy when trying to follow all the games, but keeping it together will help me out a great deal.

On an unrelated note, I'm drafting a brief description for each game and how it works. More detailed information will be available in each game thread which will be posted relatively soon.

Pick Your Power

DESIGNED BY: SpyreX and Hoopla
MODERATED BY: Zoraster

Pick your power is a popular game that was designed originally by SpyreX as a large theme game. The game is open, and this game was designed by Hoopla and SpyreX.

The draft: Before the game proper starts, each player will PM me with two numbers, 1-15 (X,Y).

1. The lowest unique X number will get first pick. The next lowest unique X number will get second, etc.
2. After all unique X numbers are exhausted, all two-way X ties will have their Y numbers compared. The lowest unique Y number will get the next pick, the lowest Y number after that will get the next pick, etc.
3. After all two-way X ties with unique Y numbers are exhausted, the same is done with three way ties, then four way ties, etc.
4. Players with the same X and Y value will be ranked by the lowest X value then one will be picked to pick above the other randomly.

For example:
Player 1: 4,9
Player 2: 1,4
Player 3: 3,5
Player 4: 1,7
Player 5: 1,4
Player 6: 15,15
Player 7: 15,14

Would have the result of:
1st Pick: Player 3 (3,5)
2nd Pick: Player 4 (4,9)
3rd Pick: Player 7 (15,14)
4th Pick: Player 6 (15,15)
5th Pick: Player 4 (1,7)
6th Pick: Player 2 (1,4) <--- Random Winner
7th Pick: Player 5 (1,4) <--- Random loser

After everyone PMs me, the draft results will be published. At this point, every player must PM me with a role from the roles available they'd like to have. If someone above you picked the role, you will be vanilla.

The Roles:
Role Cop
Tracker
Jailkeeper
Goon Cop (sees if someone is a vanilla goon or not -- mafia with a PR will come up as "not goon")
3-Shot Roleblocker (not limited to just one shot a night)
Night 2 Vig
Night 3 Vig
Gunsmith (sees guns on all mafia plus Goon Cop, Role Cop, N2 Vig, N3 Vig)

Any role received by the mafia will be IN ADDITION TO their ability to kill. Thus, any mafia member may both kill AND use their role in any night.

White Flag Mafia

MODERATED BY: TheButtonmen

This version of White Flag Mafia is mountainous (i.e. there are no power roles). In White Flag Mafia, the town wins when two out of the three mafia members have been eliminated.

Aggressive Mind Games Mafia

DESIGNED AND MODERATED BY: The Fonz

This is simply a normal closed game that follows the normal rules.

Psychic Mafia

DESIGNED BY: dramonic and Vi
MODERATED BY: dramonic

This is the "theme game." And, like many dramonic and Vi games, it's not simple. I'll let them tell you how much they want to in their game thread, but for now I'm merely authorized to inform you that the town are called Benefice and the Malefice are scum. Like the other games, there are no third parties in this game. Finally, "Communion" is similar to DAY.

EDIT: Big boo boo. Fixed communion from being similar to night to being similar to day.

[zoraster]

Made a mistake, sorry. I said communion was similar to night, but that's not true. It's similar to day.

[Tragedy]

Psychic Mafia sounds like there's witches and wizards and magic. xD

[VP Baltar]

That's not what psychic means at all.

[Tragedy]

I know. That was the only thing that popped up in my head :\

[populartajo]

Then you probably shouldnt have posted it.

[Ythill]

super strict honor rules

[camn]

If you don't want to play just let the mod know and another team will get to play.

[Kise]

Hmph! You chumps and your chatter... We all know my team is going to take this.

*folds arms*

[Ythill]

I've still got that avatar saved. Just sayin.

[hasdgfas]

Aggressive Mind Games mafia may be the best game name ever

[Kise]

I've still got that avatar saved. Just sayin.

I like the one you have now. It does a good job of conveying how you hang yourself.

You want to plan out another round, or leave it to fate to see if we end up in the same game?

[Ythill]

Not sure we're allowed to do that. I wouldn't mind playing with you again though.

[zoraster]

Yes. No pre-game collusion between teams, please. In fact, if you're playing in the game, you shouldn't be posting about your team selections at all right now except within your QT.

I've been fielding a lot of questions recently, and I apologize if I've missed any. If you do have some, feel free to PM me or post them here.

[gandalf5166]

BTW, if anyone needs a replacement and doesn't ask me first, I'm never talking to them again

[zoraster]

If you haven't yet, go ahead and bookmark the game threads. They should have rules, etc. up fairly soon.

[zoraster]

The replacement list is up. Teams may consult it to find someone they know will be likely to want to replace in, but they don't have to. They don't have to pick by the order of the list either. In the event of a mod-forced replacement (e.g. after 7 days inactivity), the mod will try the first person on the list.

Thus, beyond the first few people, I think the order you're in doesn't really matter for replacement. Merely being on the list is good because it'll let teams in need of a replacement know of your availability.

[gandalf5166]

FYI, this game will be an exception to my normal 4 game limit, so don't be afraid to hit me up just because you know I'm full for some reason.
