MAFIA! : A forum game (Bodysnatcher theme) SIGN UPS!
 
For those of you who don't know what the game Mafia is, it essentially works like this:

Quote:
The "village" consists of all players in the game. Included in the village is a small number of bad guys. Normally, the bad guys all know one another at the beginning of the game, but nobody else knows anything about anyone other than themselves.

Each day (normally 24-hour period) the village discusses and publicly votes for one person to be executed that night. At the same time, the bad guys choose one person to kill each night and PM the name to the narrator.

The good side wins if all of the bad guys die. The bad side wins if the number of good guys is less than or equal to the number of bad guys (on the assumption that at that point, they control the vote plus get their kill, so it's inevitable).

Usually, there will be one or more "special" roles among the good guys (and occasionally among the bad guys). Exactly who holds each role is only known to that person, although how many of each role exist is most often known.

Each night, the narrator gives the details of who died, and normally whether they were a bad guy. Some games also include clues or outright statements if someone who died is a good special.

I can't work out the exact mechanics until I know who is all playing. I'm hoping for a sign up of between 20-30 people. I'll flesh out rules further if enough people join so that the game can run properly.

But this will be fun so I encourage people to play.


Sign up by stating you want to play and picking a number between 1 and 20. Roles will be decided by random number generator. More slots will be added if enough people are interested.

If you play, you have to vote every day and post at least twice in the thread. Failure to do this twice will result in your removal from the game. If you have a legitimate excuse and you provide me with a PM stating your reason for absence, you will be exempt from punishment.


Sign up:

01. The Game
02. Professor S
03.
04. Bond
05. BLueFire
06. Teuthida
07. Swan
08. The Germanator
09.
10. Neo
11. BreakABone
12. Typhoid
13. manasecret
14. Green
15.
16. Yoda9864
17. Angrist
18. Fox6
19.
20. GameMaster


Sign ups will last until about Thursday/Friday. I just need to see how many people are interested in giving this a shot.


Oh, and the theme is bodysnatchers. It's more specifically based off of the movie "The Thing".

To give you a better idea of how the game works, there are special roles to help the good guys fight off the bad guys.

Vigilante: this special gets to kill a player of their choosing each night.

Seer: this special can select one player to discover the identity of. This is usefull for finding both allies and enemies.

Guardian: This special can protect a player of their choosing each night. This prevents said player from being killed. The player cannot be protected from the mob vote.

The network: these generally consist of a small group of normal good guys who know eachothers identities.

I already placed him.



I wasn't expecting this level of apathy from the boards, frankly.

Bond 08-09-2007 02:58 PM
Re: MAFIA! : A forum game (Bodysnatcher theme) SIGN UPS!
 
Well, we've had eleven people sign up. That's a good part of our active user base.

You didn't really explain much, in an aspect other than "I can't explain.":p

Not if Captain Crabbypants is at the helm and keeps steering us into the I-hate-apathy nebula at lightspeed.

Re: MAFIA! : A forum game (Bodysnatcher theme) SIGN UPS!
 
We can play if we get a few more people.

I'll have to tweak the rules a bit.

I figure we need at least 15.

Swan 08-09-2007 09:37 PM

Hey, Strangler! Crash! Neo! Perfect Stu! Deathshand! Jason! Null! Link! MrCoffee! gekko! Gremlin! Germy! HappyDude!

Sign up! Don't pretend like you don't visit this site everyday. I mean, c'mon, please.

And even if you really can't post twice a day (uh huh), then you're disqualified, big deal. Jeez guys, I thought we was friends. :p

Peer pressure it is! I'll sign up with #8.

When I played this at college we only had like 12 people and everybody was just in the room together. I feel like it's much better that way because it's easier to tell if people are lying or fucking with you or something. I played with a bunch of people that I didn't know and they thought I was really drunk or something, but I killed 'em all. Jerks. Killed 'em in the game, that is...Yeah.

Fox 6 08-09-2007 11:20 PM

Doesn't everyone? I mean, it's no Darth Vader dark side or anything, but it comes out sometimes.

Re: MAFIA! : A forum game (Bodysnatcher theme) SIGN UPS!
 
So we'll try to pull this off with whoever is signed up at the end of today.

2 more people would be good. 7 more would be ideal.


Someone go hassle GM, Neo, Happydude, Dyne, and others.

Neo 08-10-2007 03:45 PM
Re: MAFIA! : A forum game (Bodysnatcher theme) SIGN UPS!
 
Wow, a game I can actually participate in instead of running.

Stick me at 10.

Hail to the King, baby.
