The Mafia Discussion Thread

[R.W.]

Guys, if you really want to start a Mafia, just go ahead - just use some sense is all I'm saying. 19 Mafias running at once may cause a few burnouts, you know?

Has anyone ever done an "EWB Mafia"

I can't tell if you're serious or not

[Beeker00Zero]

I'm sure Pleatherface finds Will much more Norro than me.

I thought I ran an okay game.

You did. Now make sure the other one you have planned is well-balanced, then run it.

[Pleatherface]

Beeker, you're already norro. You clearly own more than anyone here ever could.

[SeanDMan]

I don't think you got what Beeker meant by "Norro".

[Ruki]

Gogo also gets a free pass for running Anime Mafia 3.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Based on something I've seen at another forum...what would be the difference if we didn't allow people to post in the thread between the lynch writeup and the night writeup?

It'd eliminate people giving the "in case I die..." style posts, and certainly be more true to the party game, but is there a downside I'm missing?

[Ruki]

Lack of activity? People thinking the game died?

[Pesci]

The only downside I can think of is that it would have an effect on activity. And I wouldn't say that the "in case I die" posts are necessarily a bad thing. I dunno if I'm in favour of it, because there's usually some good analysis between the day and night phases, but I doubt I'll care much in the long run.

[-A-]

What's wrong with the 'in case I die' posts? If it was a case of people having a chance to post information from a night ability before the night kill's been completed, then I could understand it, but the person running the game usually makes sure that that info goes out immediately before the night write-up. A significant difference between games here and elsewhere is how common bandwagons are too. All too often you can check back into a thread and not only have you got your night results, but a bandwagon's formed and someone's dead. If I'm an investigator or a roleblocker I'd be pretty irritated if I was unable to post my results (particularly if I think I might die) because people have conducted a 6-hour lynch.

[Ruki]

OK, If you try and bandwagon me, remind me to roleblock you again

...wow...bad play.

Although, to be fair, I could be a bit more subtle myself in certain games.

[TheRossWalker]

Oh, it gets better, Ruki.

He was "false claiming" to piss me off.

Words fail me.

[Ruki]

I seen that. I should still be in that game

[Josh]

I've thought about the whole silence at night thing too, but I ultimately feel like it should be at the discretion of the mod, assuming that mod knows how it will affect their game.

[Ruki]

I think when I run my next game, I will modkill anyone who edits their posts, just to be an ass

[Josh]

Actually, I think that's a fine idea, seeing as how most of do say it's against the rules. And for good reason.

[Ruki]

I wanted to run a generic game, but with random mod killings.

EACH DAY! NEW RULES!

Day 1: No post edits

Day 2: Only post edits

Day 3: No talking outside of votes

....the game would be so horrible it would be awesome.

[Mr Evil Guy]

I edit my posts all the time, I don't add new shit, I just fix spelling mistakes/shit that doesn't make sense because I don't re-read the shit I post.

So fuck that rule.

[Josh]

Ruki, no. Just no.
