NEED 4 MORE PLAYERS TO START

I was thinking of starting a Mafia game here on the forums.
Might be a bit of a stretch considering the attention spam of the average OS user.


These are the basic setup:
There are a group of innocent players (town's people) and a group of mafia.
BUT no one playing knows who is actually innocent or who is a mafia member.
The mafia members try to kill off all the innocent town's players to win the game.
The town's people try to find out which players are the mafia by the end of the game.

How we play:
I will be the narrator telling the story.
I will randomly assign those who want to play into four categories:

1. Normal Town's People
2. Mafia Members
3. Police
4. Doctor

No one will know who got which position except for me.

Stage 1: Discussion and Voting
We start the game with a discussion and vote on who might be a mafia member.
The person with the most votes is HANGED and is no longer part of the game.
The identity (whether he/she was a town's person, mafia, police or doctor) is revealed.

Stage 2: Nightfall
Towns People: During this stage you do nothing.
Mafia: During this time the mafia will decide who to kill and message me the name of the player.
Police: During this time the police will pick one player to keep an eye on and check if that player is a mafia member or not.
Doctor: The doctor gets to choose one person to try save. If the doctor picks the correct target of the mafia, that player does not die.

Stage 3: Morning
Once morning comes, I, the narrator, will reveal the person who was killed off by the mafia. That player is no longer in the game. The only exception is if the doctor was able to pick the correct person whom the mafia was targeting.
I will also reveal if the player the police picked was a mafia member or not. (Note: I will not say who the police are. I will also not say who the police picked. I will only tell everyone if the police picked a mafia or an innocent person.)

From here Stage 1 repeats and the players discuss who might be a mafia member.

Basic Strategy:
The police try to convince the town's people of who might be the mafia.
The mafia tries to confuse everyone and make the towns people hang the wrong person.
The police and the doctor does not want to give away their identity because the mafia will target them during the night.


Anyone up for a game?
I think we need 8-12 players.
Its a very social game.
If you can't make a thoughtful argument, best not join.
I would give about a day or two for a stage before going onto the next stage so you should be active on the forums.




PLAYERS:

P1: Rasen Oh
P2: Ragnarok
P3: Qualtz
P4: Deathcherry

I'll play, don't underestimate how long a FG reg will stick with something. Don't fully understand how this will pan out on the OS FG (especially considering how many FGers there are)

Btw, Owari, desu, and Qualtz are the mafia

Why were we on mafia even before the game, Ramirez? Anyway, i'll join. It's better than continuing the random roleplay on zen's thread.

I once was playing the mafia game... I kept on insisting the mafia was this one person, but no one believed me, so they killed me.

I was right the entire time... It made me sad.

Qualtz

So it's just me who's going to play it for the first time?

Rasen Oh

Qualtz

Oh? though your story makes it sound like you're a liar :D

Rasen Oh
11-01-2011, 10:04 AM
Eh? How?

Qualtz
11-01-2011, 10:10 AM
lemme rephrase, your story made it sound like people see you as a big fat liar back then~

Rasen Oh

No, it was more of that I was obsessing over it in an over the top fashion. Plus I had no proof that he was the mafia, just a whim.

Most people see me as a more or less honest idiot

Qualtz

hm... at this rate, it seems like it'll degrade into a standard chat thread... I don't think it will get started...

Ragnarok

Qualtz

I explained it on the first post and the wiki link would explain it in more detail.
However, I don't think there are enough active users on the forums who are willing to take the time to play.

If you plan on playing its probably going to take some reading because theres going to be a lot of discussions.
But if you are confused about how to play I will explain each stage of the game as we go.
The first post I made should only take 2 minutes to read.
