The Mafia Discussion Thread

[Jimmy]

I was The Janiator's minion and had to post whatever he said, which he never sent through. I had to survive, I think.

[TheRossWalker]

I think I had the most normal conditions out of everyone. If Turk died, so did I, I won if I survived. Also, I was basically unlynchable, because if four or more votes were cast on me, I could turn them over to someone else.

[Ruki]

I was town aligned, and if targeted at night, they would die.

[TheRossWalker]

Was that your horrible wording or Visionary's?

[Ruki]

Paraphrased version of his.

After Movie Monster Mafia, I may take a stab at a legit Scrubs Mafia. I wasn't around for Ace's, and this was just an abomination.

I don't like the show and know very little about it, but I reckon that even I could run a Scrubs game better than Visionary.

[FireDoughnut]

I was going to try Scrubs Mafia at the end of CHIKARA Mafia 2... Instead; has there been a West Wing Mafia?

[Essa]

You can run with Scrubs Mafia. I just want to see a decent version of it done. It seems like it's a game that people can get pumped up for, so it sucks that it's a theme that's being wasted on shit like Visionary.

Someone (MPH?) said they wanted to do one.

Also, question, what is going to happen if there are no traditional games ready to run? Since after TradMaf there is only one left in line.

[Ruki]

Who's Line mafia is also traditional I believe.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

What exactly makes a game traditional?

[Essa]

There's a lynch during the day and a kill during the night. No fancy roles, no investigating, no shit like that. Lynch, kill, lynch, kill etc.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Investigating and such can be traditional, traditional means no themed roles. I believe that's what we decided on. (Power roles are extremely limited in my game, anyhow.)

And yes FD, I've got West Wing Mafia on reserve. Sorry! Sort of.

[Sousa]

I would define traditional not necessarily as a non-themed game, but as a game where roleclaims can't save you. If you're playing a Tick game, for example, you could always just claim The Tick and, bammo, instant town cred. Look at Josh's 12 Angry Men game, where everyone had a role from the movie but the Mafia was randomly determined.

[-A-]

Yup, the hallmarks of a Traditional game would be generic roles and few abilities.

[Matt]

I'd say traditional was limited abilities.

But then again look at TradMaf II (I think) where everyone was a cop, under my description that wouldn't be traditional.

[FireDoughnut]

And yes FD, I've got West Wing Mafia on reserve. Sorry! Sort of.

EDIT: Mafia on the Sunset Strip is being reserved by me.

As in Studio 60?

[Forky]

Damn, I didn't even realize this thread was here. I echo the same sentiments as the other thread, if anyone starts a new mafia, let me know. I wish to be a participant.
