Create Your Own Role Mafia game

[thefranklin]

Thanksgiving is in November, here I'll send you a real calendar. (you ever see the show "how I met your mother"?)

Gwahir's first post is a subtle hint at mass claiming. Noted.

 

[Malevolent]

well, contrary to popular belief, i didn't create the spammer role, i am looking at YOU kegs...

just noticed the post saying ALL alignments have been reset, i though it was just me for a bit, if it was just me it would have been a fast game though, because my first PM had a list of the mafia in it

seems to be multiple roles that re-direct lynches, this will be tricky.

From my original alignment PM i can say that there WERE 4 mafia including me, but the might be more or less now.

 

[Goryani]

Looking over that list... I can only say I feel sorry for Goryani. I can see this being a nightmare to moderate.

I'm hoping it gets easier...
I'll settle for fewer errors.

How on earth does a mime/Forensic Scientist work? Do each have a set of samples?

There is but one set of vials for everyone to share. The samples from the Forensic Scientist and mime are put into the same vial.

Are you sure you didn't mix up your first and second pm's?

 

[Bad Ash]

Oh wow. Some people sure got creative. Some of the combinations here are nuts. How on earth does a mime/Forensic Scientist work? Do each have a set of samples?

My first thought was to try to mimic last game with open information - people claiming what they get ASAP. But that just gives the mafia a good way of getting rid of targets they don't like being out there. So my next thought is that we should claim roles and actions the following day, to make sure that mafia are forced to stay honest with their actions. It gives more grey area about night kills, but doesn't hand mafia all the info they could want.

Preview: Sath - "Spam-off to ensure someone gets lynched."

Lol. That is how you get the thread with the most posts. Also, how sad would it make you if you were Paris's BFF and got silenced the same day you were the spammer. So many hilarious combinations.

Early impressions are I like this idea...

Second note: I dont know why, but I feel like I am going to be overly looking for spammers the entire game, and trying to negate them haha.

Gyah Bad Ash why are you such a hater against the spammers?? That surprises me since you have a lovey dovey slappy happy household now with Cheefy Weefy Wifey....

Oh wait I forgot, is she still in pieces there stud??

To help beat the horse, love the roles. Kingmaker gives me shivers if in the wrong hands tho....:yikes:

Oh, and best of luck with the three decker bus....:rolf: what a mod-nightmare!!

 

[Kestegs]

I wonder who came up with the bus driver role.....hmmmmmm, who could it be?

Nobody beats the king....nobody!
(That's a local mattress company commercial, and it's been going through my head since I read that role.)

Ouch, I am hurt - I thought I was better at being subtle. That was was me proposing an idea. What are your thoughts on it?

Second note: I dont know why, but I feel like I am going to be overly looking for spammers the entire game, and trying to negate them haha.

I am thinking about trying, but I can't see me winning that battle against several people here. Would be especially rough in a lylo situation, with people spamming like mad so we could actually get the last mafia lynched.

I see a few that I don't want mafia to get.

It wasn't me. Seriously.

 

[Malevolent]

It wasn't me. Seriously.

i think this post basically confirms that it was you...

also, we dont have to have everyone spamming, we can just have a designated spammer who will do the job well to negate the spammer role. Good job for me maybe?

also- i like this claim previous days roles thing, since it is random it won't let us think ahead, but i cannot see it giving any advantage to the mafia. Hopefully it will provide good info, but i can only see it worjking if EVERYBODY does it, otherwise the few people we need are gonna just float past us.

 

[flubbucket1]

I hate to seem like such a flake, but there are 13 roles listed and 13 players in the game. So each player has a "power" role if you please. I only mention because it means no vanilla townie. After reading this I guess it seems like I am a flake.

Two thoughts regarding Malevolent comments.

1) Four or more on a mafia team would be nearly one third of the total group...that seems huge to me. I find your assertion troubling and noteworthy.

2) Volunteering yourself or trying to lure the spammer out into the open.....I guess I'm just supposed to interpret this as townie behaviour huh???

What next, are you going to start asking about or volunteering for the BFF job???

 

[Malevolent]

wow, very quiet...

just letting everyone know that over the next 2 days i have HEAPS of free time, so expect me to be on the ball for a change.....

I created the last laugh build also, it used to be called zombie.
My original intentions were for this role to not be subject to role rotation, so that the person who got this role would hopefully be able to use it in a cool tactical play. Especially if said person had access to a shared QT, mafia or mason(BFF in this case)
Because of the role rotation this role is very unpredictable, at the very least if somebody is NK'd but thier alignment is not revealed then we have a chance of re-gaining a townie.

I do however thnk that this role is very powerful to the mafia if they play it right.so i think that anybody who dies and thier alignment is revealed shouldn't be given any townie cred. Mafia may NK one of thier own who have this ability to cause confusion, that way when the town kills the last mafia the old one comes back, and becuase he/she was NK'd the town most likely wouldn't lynch him/her.

this is why i think this role should be treated with caution, anybody who comes back to life with this is still suspicious, even if they were NK'd. Now that i have said this i doubt that this tactic could be used. But then it just creates a giant mess that is my newly learnt term, WIFOM...

will be back in about 11 hours to see what other people think, i would like to hear some analysis of how the roles could be used by the people who made them, because nobody else understands them as well as the creator.

I can actually confirm that on the first go around there were 4 mafia. And so could 2 other people! This is borderline cheesy, so I somewhat hope that the amount was changed but I doubt it since it's a huge balance factor.

 

[Ankeli1]

Oh, and would everyone agree that revealing what role you had on the previous day phase does more good than harm for the town? We can get to deducting what actions took place, and further down the road can possibly catch the mafia of some lies if they try to claim they'd used a dead role. Unless there's something fairly obvious I'm missing, which is possible since I only skimmed through the role list.

Yes, let's go through the actions of thirteen complicated roles that all affect each other. I'm not waisting half of our day phase.

Four might seem a lot in a 13 player game but three would be very unfair for the mafia and given all the power roles and all the **** they can inflict it seems fair. Besides I doubt the mafia can really adhere to any gameplan with all the redirects and immunes and whatnot.

The spammer is the least of our worries, if we suspect anyone to be scum and he's spamming a ****load we'll know he's the spammer and we can combat it. Any other scenario is none of our worries, we can't NK anyway.

So you trust me to read for you??

I think claiming what you had the previous day is okay, but you bring up a good point. If it's going to dominate half of the days talk then I would for sure be against it as it's already difficult enough to secure a lynch sometimes.

 

[MartinLong]

So my next thought is that we should claim roles and actions the following day, to make sure that mafia are forced to stay honest with their actions.

And if we are able to decipher any night actions, we may be able to pick out mafia from it. It seems like it's going to be extremely difficult though and can be used to deter us from securing a lynch. I don't envy you Gory.

Thanksgiving is in November, here I'll send you a real calendar. (you ever see the show "how I met your mother"?)

While you're at it, can you give me some real money? All mine have hockey players on it :scratchchin:

IMO, stating this was in bad taste to the game this is information we shouldn't have known.

So you trust me to read for you??

Story time with flubby? :cloud9:
