stardust, pm'ed you about running a greatest idea mafia.

Postby **Stardust** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:49 pm

imopen, do you care if rezmo jumps the line? If you'd like to try for Sons again you can, but I doubt we could get 12 at this point. Up to you.

In this setup, each player is dealt three cards from a deck;

Deck

Two of these three cards are combined to produce the player's role and alignment, and the final card is discarded.

Two cards must be used, so no player may choose a single card to indicate both role and alignment.

Once every player has chosen their two cards - and there is at least one antitown role in the game (if all town, abandon or reshuffle) - all players inform the moderator of their role/alignment combination and any roles with partners are informed of their partners.

At the start of Day 1, every player's discarded card is publicly revealed.

balance not guaranteed, blah blah blah

alright, im gonna write up the signup thread now, go ahead and take me of el-listo. im having a hard time finishing up my hipster mafia anyway, and this is a fun, variable size game.

Postby **Stardust** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 10:19 pm

I think rezombad wants to play again since he keeps bugging me. His game got 9 people to signup, and that's including getting a couple out of the woodwork. What's people's comfort level/desire to play in more than one game at once? Do people think we should start a second game at this point?

Dechs Kaison · Postby **Dechs Kaison** » Thu Dec 04, 2014 8:26 am

I think I can handle two games at once.

I was playing another game on a different forum while this Greatest Idea is still going on, but that's over. It was pretty easy to keep the two threads separate in my mind; all the names were different and the forum was different, too. I don't know if it'll be too hard to see the same people in a second game and treat them differently.

I'm willing to try it, at least.

Who's game is up next?

Postby **Stardust** » Thu Dec 04, 2014 3:31 pm

imopen2 if he wants to try it again. We might be better off sticking to smaller games though, especially if we're trying to run two at the same time. I personally don't think this will work either way, but the next 9 player in line is you.

imopen, do you want to try signups again? Would you rather wait and let Dechs run a small one to test the waters?

Postby **Stardust** » Thu Dec 04, 2014 4:08 pm

Actually, with Christmas coming up, now is probably the worst time to start a new game.

Probably won't get a game to start until January, but signs ups could get running. Imopen, care to try it?

imopen2 · Postby **imopen2** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 6:03 pm

I mean, I'm game to try, but it doesn't seem like we can get 14 people I play..maybe I should retool my setup to just be 8-10 players?

Postby **Stardust** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 7:07 pm

Probably true. Retool as you wish, I suppose.

Dechs Kaison · Postby **Dechs Kaison** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 7:38 pm

Whatever the next game is, I'm in. Unless it's my game. Then I'll mod. I guess. I'd ask for a backup, of course.

rezombad · Postby **rezombad** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 7:58 pm

Yeah post signups, with the condition that you may take a few days to retool the game after sign ups close if we don't have enougj

Postby **Stardust** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 1:49 pm

Added a game of my own to the list, Planechase Mafia. You can probably imagine the gimmick on this one.

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 4:21 pm

It's about cats and dogs correct?

Postby **Stardust** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 4:49 pm

Cats and moggs. We are on a Magic forum, after all.

rezombad · Postby **rezombad** » Fri Feb 27, 2015 2:15 am

10 player hipster mafia, pit it on the list, shits happening.

rezombad · Postby **rezombad** » Fri Feb 27, 2015 2:16 am

Or 11-player

Postby **Stardust** » Fri Feb 27, 2015 3:21 pm

Added.

Since Wraith recently reappeared, I'll send him a PM to see if he's interested in trying to run his game. Otherwise, Dechs, you're on decks.

Dechs Kaison · Postby **Dechs Kaison** » Fri Feb 27, 2015 6:05 pm

Har har. I see what you did thar.

But that's cool. I've never modded a game before, but I think I can handle it. Is it OK if I bounce questions off you if I'm not sure what to do with certain situations?

Postby **Stardust** » Fri Feb 27, 2015 8:51 pm

Of course.

In my very first game one of my scum buddies (also his first game) was killed by the mod (his first time modding) for editing his post only 5 minutes later. It was unintentional and completely harmless, so a stern reminder would have been just fine, but the mod just didn't know how to handle it.

So, yeah, good idea to have someone check things out before you overreact. I'm sure you'll do fine though.

rezombad · Postby **rezombad** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 2:45 am

Best advice I can give is to give confirmations for night actions via pm, do your vote counts on a consistent basis and decide before hand how night actions resolve.

Dechs Kaison · Postby **Dechs Kaison** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 7:51 am

Thanks, Stardust.

Will do, will do, and already done. Thanks Rez.

Thoughts?

rezombad · Postby **rezombad** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 5:15 am

Yeah, curse software is never going away. I look forward to the slow trickle of mafia players over here.

Our days aren't too short in comparison, I believe. But we haven't had the base necessary to run more than a couple medium sized games.

Jamie · Postby **Jamie** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 5:15 am

What is the problem with the forum software over at mtgs?

Azrael · Postby **Azrael** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 5:24 am

Mainly people hate the fact that there's no full editor option, I guess. And it crashes and eats posts sometimes.

Postby **Stardust** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 5:43 am

I just posted over there (from my phone, of course). I'm surprised that WG called this mafia forum a failed experiment when we're still running years later, even if it's not at full steam.

I'm not about to research the problems the mafia community there is having since the site is a pain to navigate by phone, but I of course would welcome new players. It seems to be true that this site and MTGS seem to be the only ones to play mafia in exactly this way. I feel like it's a pretty natural fit for an alternative (I've been happy here), but I guess everyone will have to make their own choice on that. For sure there will be some players who resist the idea just because of this site's history, which is a shame.

rezombad · Postby **rezombad** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 5:51 am

Also I think the multi quote function over their is still broken, as are a few other things that are pretty important to mafia that I can't currently remember the specifics of.

Azrael · Postby **Azrael** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 6:33 am

Multi-quote works now, ISO works too. But an alliance seems like a win-win.

Dechs Kaison · Postby **Dechs Kaison** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 10:42 am

Y'all should come here. The game I played there is my absolute last. That forum software is awful, and worse for playing mafia.

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 9:45 pm

Wouldn't it be simpler to just move completely?

Azrael · Postby **Azrael** » Tue Mar 03, 2015 3:49 am

Wouldn't it be simpler to just move completely?

We'd lose far too much recruiting potential, and all capacity to retrieve returning older players.

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Tue Mar 03, 2015 3:53 am

Fair, but I can't imagine the mod staff there would approve of that

rezombad · Postby **rezombad** » Tue Mar 03, 2015 4:24 am

ISO might be okay if he's still there. Megs would vote hell no.

I could see game threads on mtgs having the op be a link to the real op (and game) on this site and bumping the mtgs thread with a crossposted vote count, lynch scene, etc.
