BZP Mafia Discussion

One more rule, do not let me host now matter what I say. but the override is Penn Jillette

Calling a bunch of shots.

Pupwa lynched day 1.

Village somehow wins despite lower numbers.

1 Secret role dies before being able to execute their powers.

Magician is Penn Jillette.

Short game.

I can host again weeeeee.

If Quisoves does not post his game, I'd like to host a side game. Just need to wait until my computer actually arrives.

I hope that Bionifight arrives with it.

I have everything for the next Bionifight and three mafia games ready on paper. I just need my computer to arrive so that I can type them up.

Speaking of his computer, ETA on Book 2?

I think you misspelled "hype"

The current ETA for Book 2 is October. I have no specific date yet.

Oooh, much hype

Still waitin' on Quisoves.

People now underestimate my power.

I'll show them the errors of that.

If anyone wants to host but doesn't really know what sort of game they'd like to run, you can PM me. I've got loads of ideas sitting around that I'll never use.

I have a few as well.

I've updated the first post of the topic with a list of all 17 (so far) main series games of the Third Age, for quick reference.

For your consideration, courtesy of Pupwa.

I am so so so happy right now.

Thank you Pupwa, and thank you Wind.

How would people feel about another game to use the twist from By the Numbers, where each player was assigned a random number and all targeting/voting was by the assigned numbers instead of by name? I feel like the idea still has a lot of potential, and the system would also work more smoothly the second time around.

I want to see that happen again. ^^

I'd play that.

Sounds really cool, so why not?

I missed the first one, so I'd be up for that

(By the way, Worldshaker seen hopefully coming tonight, sorry I've been so busy this week)

It was something special, Chro.

Also my first game, so nostalgia~

Yes... I think the Master of Hats might make an appearance as an old wise person or something. 

Also Dapper, if you could re-check your Bionifight profile and make the suggested changes, that'd be awesome. =P

I was active on BZP at the time, but thought that G&T was a spammy RPG forum to be overlooked.

Which is still partially accurate.

I remember it well, I was lynched in a reference to The Emperor's New Groove.

I don't remember if it was you or Squishy that was lynched in that fashion... but yes, that was when I used the Emperor's New Groove as inspiration =P

I have never watched that, so I'm sure I wouldn't get the joke, but

Cool?

It was cool. One of the best executions ever written.

Not to mention By the Numbers ended in a fantastic draw and killing of everyone so

Zakaro

It was me. The Dark Hunters (my teammates) did that overly complicated polymorph-box-mailing plan when I was lynched.

Ah, my noobish days were fun.

Hehehehehhehe, that was amazing, yes. =P I liked the game, though I probably made a wrong choice, despite the fact that the whole 'crazily going after Turaga' thing had already been established. =P

Considering that the Mafia would have won if you had killed Zakaro... yeah, probably. =P You gave up victory for an epic standoff.

I wasn't around for by the numbers, so uh

i'll just say i'm cool with it

yeah.

Also, question for everyone: how would a Mafia game where all votes are sent in PM, and the totals are posted in topic sound?

Y/N

Trash.

Next idea?

It'd be interesting, but I feel like it'd remove a lot of the strategy from voting. The mafia would have a huge advantage in that they could simply bandwagon one guy without anyone ever being able to see it, and no one would be able to call people out on voting.

Best left for a side game, not a main game?

Of course, there would be some roles that COULD see what someone voted, or a mechanic where a Villager can choose one person to see who they voted for each night.

But still best left for a side game probably.

If I can't tell who voted who, then how will I be able to join a Bandwagon?

If the Role who can see who voted for who dies, then the mafia has little to no resistance.

Ergo trash it.

Surprisingly, Pupwa's claims actually make sense. The Mafia would all vote on one person, while the village is disorganized. Yeah, not the best idea.

Keep in mind, the vote totals will periodically be posted in-topic itself, not just once the round ends.

How about a side game in which all the players are ignorant of their roles and everyone picks a target at night? It would be interesting to see a game of Mafia without the normal certainty of personal innocence or guilt.

Obviously, said game would have no Detective role.

I would definitely want to play that.
