As the title says, this is a general discussion topic for mafia. You can discuss older games long ended, cool ideas or collaborations you might have, or even story ideas tied to the games. The possibilities are endless!
Please note that this is not meant to replace discussion of currently running ganes; while those topics remain open, try to keep discussion directly related to those games in their respective topics. This has been approved by Windrider.
If you are looking for additional information on certain games, roles, players, strategies, or history, check out the BZP Mafia Wiki. It is rather outdated, but still has information up until Bionicle Mafia XV: Nightmare.
About Hosting:
Experience has (repeatedly) shown that the forum can usually support only two Mafia games at a time. As such, the standard practice is to post in this topic stating your desire to host (whether it be an entry in the main series or a side game). If multiple members want to host, the other players will typically vote on which host or game they want to play first. Once you have the community's go ahead, you can then post your game.
For those of you that would skip this not-as-painful-as-it-sounds-process, experience has also (repeatedly) shown that the community will come down rather hard on games posted without going through the community in this topic first.
People take their Mafia seriously.

I don't expect that it will need it, but this topic can be considered official and is exempt from the revival limit.
I had an idea for a scenario wherein the Detective(s) had to investigate dead players to see their roles, I kinda want to implement that in one of the Point-X games.
I may or may not have that planned for my HUGE EPIC GAME (Known from now on as "HEG", which I plan to save for XXII.
-
Only two spots left in my game! If a couple more people would join, that'd be great because I'd love to start. Oh and just curious, who all is still around? I was gone for 8 months and all. I havent seen Xaeraz and Lloyd seems to have recently vanished yet again.
I'm currently developing an idea for a Mafia game, which includes a Darkman and Werewolf role. More details to come. I plan to host XVII, hopefully =D
I have so many game ideas but I quickly get bored of hosting anything other than Hitman
;-;
Drop ideas here! Maybe someone will adopt them.
I wish I had the will the continue 0.7.
Why, New vegas.
I've been curious for a while, what was the first Mafia game?
It was lost to the Great Dataclysm I believe, unless I've got my downtimes mixed up. It was before my time.
A long, long, long time ago.
It's been lost to the ages by now.
The first one was hosted by Fighty.
Blade can probably say, as he was in one of the first few.
It was either him or Seraphim, but I think Seraphim's was after Fighty's.
I wish I had the will the continue 0.7.
Why, New vegas.
I could take it over for you, since I'm just a reserve and not an actual player. You could just PM me the role info.
Two for one was good.
All I have to say now. I'll think of something later when my brain works.
So far we're up to four potential Mafia players at BrickFair, with more coming today...
The idea of the King role from Bionicle Mafia XVI has given me some ideas for a game based around the role, although it'd be a side-game, not a main series entry. Oh, Bionicle Mafia XIX is going to be fun.
Do I get an award for hosting the first game to last one day?
No, because it was wiped out and artificially done.
How so? In all honesty, I really just didn't think it through, but MT's suggestion is within the rules.
Oh, I thought you were talking about Ruins of Mata-Nui.
The Type 2 players will guarantee that Unfinished Business lasts past Day 1.
Oh, right that thing. Is it too late to bring that one back?
I would say so, yes. It's been almost a year and there would be several players that do not re-join or are simply not active in Games & Trivia currently.
So if you are hosting 19, who is hosting 17 and 18? And speaking of Mafia from before my hiatus, how did that trilogy thing you were planning go?
The idea of the King role from Bionicle Mafia XVI has given me some ideas for a game based around the role, although it'd be a side-game, not a main series entry. Oh, Bionicle Mafia XIX is going to be fun.
You... haven't told anyone about what the King does, right? The King is technically a secret role...
Here's an idea for a game.
How about one where instead of the village voting on who gets lynched, the village has to elect jurors, who then submit their votes privately.
Wouldn't be enough to start a whole new game, but it'd be an interesting way to mix up the standard voting formula.

I don't even know what the King does except that it exists. Presumably the King picks a player to protect them each night if I'm reading between the lines correctly, but I'm thinking something a little more overpowered for my game.
I also watched the Marvel oneshot All Hail the King recently and have since wanted to both write a story and host a game with that as a title.
In all likelihood, the King is similar to my Hypnotist role from 2.5.

What did the hypnotist do?
Anyway, I have another idea for a game.
When a player is killed for the first time, they enter the Afterlife game, with a different role than when they were alive. If you die in the Afterlife game, you're out for good, and if you're the last person in there after more than three people arrive, then you return to life with a different role.
Hypnotist chose one person to hypnotize, and one person for their victim to target. So, if a doctor was hypnotized, they would save who the Hypnotist chose, instead of who they intended to save. Or, if a killer was hypnotized, they would kill as ordered, instead of how they wanted to.
Everyone kept saying that they killed the wrong person, it was so hilarious.
-
Weeeeeeeell, the King is slightly different...

Do you get partnered up with others? What if there's an illegal player?
Gimme gimme chance... Do, do, do... Gimme gimme chance... Do, do, do...
No, you're not partnered. I don't know what you mean by "illegal player"...
Would a game where everybody doesn't know their own role, just whether or not they have a role that can take action at night, work? They'd have to decipher it through the host's scenes.
It could work, I reckon. It'd certainly be interesting.
Can someone PM me and explain the King? It sounds interesting, and there's no need to worry about me spoiling anything since I'm not even in the game at all
By the way, did anyone else immediately become very confused upon seeing this?
