Round 45 - Mafia Story

Welcome one and all! So I was expecting a small turnout like usual but that may not be the case this time. Originally I was torn between this or Metroid Prime 3, but I figured I'd give the latter a shot for another time. I'm sure I can squeeze everyone that joins in there.

You all should know the rules by now so I won't post 'em here. For those that don't know and are new, check the administrative section and it should be easy to find.

Once again, No PMs are allowed unless mafia or masons!

I suspect this round will be fairly normal and I have yet to come up with any ideas to experiment this time...but that may change in the future.

No lynch will prioritize over a lynch if it has a number equal or greater than the votes to lynch.

What's that? You want a story? I'll get to it...eventually.

Signups will end...Friday April 19th at 6pm EDT.
As for updates, since my schedule is so weird I'll most likely close and try to update by 11pm EDT each night except for the first day (for obvious reasons).

Well then, shall we begin signing up?

I think I'll sit this one out... need a break, prepare for my game, do some college shtoof.

Why not.

In.

In. Maybe I can redeem myself for MLP mafia.

Oh golly gee wizard smokes I think this will do indeed yes yes yes.

Sure, let's do this.

In.
My prediction: Chaco is the beloved slut townie.

on

Can't skip a round with this theme. In.

I'd really like to join. Thing is I have many exams and deadlines starting Monday onwards. If it looks like basically everyone has joined by Thursday, would you be open to starting then? Then hopefully I'll have died by Monday haha!

Let's do this, I'm in!

No free PM rights?! Awh, c'mon dude...

...okay I'm done bitching. Let's do this.

In (b4 recruiting mason).

That's very understandable. Sure we can start Thursday if we can get everyone in by then. The reason I wanted to go ahead of Scept was because I'd be busy starting at the end of the month.

I probably shouldn't join as I have several essays to do, but what the heck, count me in.

HAHA, TIME TO KILL MAFIA

Worked out well last time :P

Yay mafia in

Oh, Gamagemate! Welcome back! :D
Thanks Axel. Hope it works out~

I have a question regarding one rule that I see HATER already beat me to "complain" about

Are all means we can use to find information intuition in addition to maybe power roles such as a seer or so? So we can only communicate on the thread freely?

I'd like to be able to break/interrogate/teamwork with players whom I find it a good idea to do it with. What's the exact reason for disallowing us from exchanging information to each other? I don't really see where it benefits greatly, other than making it a card game where you cannot play with open cards.. I think that's an essential part of the this concept, a "detective"/"mind" game.

Is this a usual rule or something you go by occasionally or always?

Again, I mean no offence but I'm just questioning that concept which I saw to be one of the greater things you could do in this game.

I'm pretty sure you have it for a good reason, and if that's the case could somebody elaborate?

Thanks for your time and sorry for the time spent reading this and in advance if you're gonna answer it!

We tend to include an investigator. Fairly often, a second one that's weaker is involved. Other than that, vote patterns and knowing what they shouldn't tend to point out mafia.

Is an "investigator" a seer, meaning you peek/check out a player each round to find out their alignment. And if so what is the "strong one" and "weak one"?

Thanks again.

Some can get their alignment AND their role, others just the alignment. Some can even beat Godfather and Miller and get a correct answer, though usually with a restriction of some kind.

Edit: I think this might be helpful http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

Then again, we use custom roles fairly often too.

Coming from another Mafia forum I'm sure he knows the basic rules, Cloakmate!
Edit: Just realised you were probs posting that to help with the name differences, sorry!

Shadi, yeah Seer=Investigator. As for weak and strong, I believe it is entirely down to a GM's discretion how they allow the other player to investigate. Strong being GM just tells you the result, weaker being less clear. For example, a variation I remember is a 'Theif', who grabs an item from target player, and thus you try to guess their role or alignment from that. Given how much you know about the theme of the round it may not help at all though.

Actually, the thief was my idea I think. Shame he died so early.

OH, that reminds me, we have a running curse on the forums.
Survivors are fated to die early, or at the very end, right before winning.
I believe Nale cast the curse to try to keep his Survivor victory the only one, but Axel and Spp have pulled it off.
