[C9] Mafia Game #1

[CYBER]

Shouldn't we also know some of the roles going in? not so much the mafia but Tom said there was a chance there were 5 townies and 2 mafioso's. At that point don't you instantly loose unless you get lucky? all people have to do is keep quiet and kill someone each night, but at least if we know there's a sheriff and an investigator we can start from there.

thats what i thought was happening at first. As in it was uncontestable that it's 2 mafia and 5 townies in ALL our ibis games. But after reading about it, its better to keep it random (C9 or F11) because people were cheating the system by knowing that there is definitely a cop and a doctor. The cop would then claim his role publicly, and the doctor be hidden. Everyone would vote 'no lynch' every day until the cop finds a suspect. Should the mafia try to kill the cop, the doctor will always protect him every night. Rince and repeat. It gets hard for mafia to find the doctor, and even if they did, the cop would know many innocent/guilty names by then. And mafia couldt vote on threads other than no lynch just to blend in... So the randomness is intentional so thatthe cop doesnt know if there's a doc that MIGHT protect him. And people cant tell if the cop actually found a guilty man when voting... Etc.. Tldr? No. Keep it random. Adds strategy

But with so few people the randomness discourages discussion, and basically takes anyone who doesn't have a role out of the game unless they just start guessing, as was done at the start of this one. But I do see your point. Maybe if there were a few more people, or maybe some neutral roles or something, who knows...

Speaking of which, a Jester would be fun to have...

I always like a wild card, like the serial killer role, they're not really on any side so its just fun to try and do it alone.

Also, since it looks like a restart why dont we get someone to clean the thread up so we dont have to slog through all this crap.

Ya good call, Tom should just delete everything that came after the game started, send out the new roles and we can start from confirming.

I haven't done a lot with the forums but played more then my fair share on mafia in sc2. When people vote to lynch they go to trail first and they get to defend themselves before getting executed. All role types are revealed at startup ( that does not mean we know who the person is or the exact role, but it gives you an idea) Say we got 5 townies. We should know if we got 3 citizens a sheriff and a doctor or something else at the beginning. If the sheriff decides to reveal then the mafia should simply try and find the doctor and kill him first.

Okay, we'll restart the game and I'll remake and resend the roles. I won't have any time tonight, so we'll restart tomorrow. Do you guys prefer doing a vanilla c9 setup so we'd still all get the basics down or do you want me to add a few additional roles as well?

Also, to Nemesis and Spasm: you don't understand - this doesn't function the same way that REAL time mafia works. You have evidence of everything ever said and written in the threads, which means you can analyze people's behaviours and patterns and find the scum (I.E. scumhunting). Just blindly following the cop isn't that interesting and it's much more fun to deduce and analyze people instead of just knowing the exact setup and hope to find the scum by following the cop.

And obviously I won't be the only mod - everyone will be able to mod once we get this going. I've already got my 2nd game planned (and for a bit more people) and then I hope to let someone else mod while I'd be a co-mod. After that, I'd probably mostly play while modding every now and then.
