Guys, i have a really good thought about a forum game that could possibly be epic. If you guys have played Mafia before you should know how fun it is. But you guys have to contribute to this game or else it will look mediocre lol. I am thinking of how to assign the roles, i think the best way is through email. We can make a separate forum thread for the mafia and the "secret party", but then people may cheat or look at the "last replied" thingy on the forum portal. Oh and the game hasn't started yet until there are liek at least 10 ppl who sign up.


this might not work, and so mods or jts staff please delete if nobody signs up.


Rules (copied from this website):

In its simplest form, Mafia consists of two sides: the Mafia, and the Town. The Mafia's goal is to kill the innocents, while the Town's goal is the kill the Mafia.

At the beginning of the game, the Moderator (me or someone else) will secretly send (via email?) everyone their role. The Mafia will know each other, while (in the basic game) everyone else will only know their own role.

The game has two phases. Usually the first is Night. During Night, the Town can communicate (if they wish to using this thread), and the Mafia can discuss and choose someone to murder (via email?). After the Moderator has received the name of the victim, the Moderator reveals the dead player(s), and Day begins.

During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when a player gets a majority of the votes, they are lynched. Their role is/isn't revealed by the Moderator, and it is once again Night.


The game alternates between Night and Day until either the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have killed everyone else.


The above suffices for a Vanilla game, but most games have roles other than just Mafia and Townie. These roles have additional abilities (which are usually used during the Night, though there are some Day abilities as well). The most common are listed here.

Cop - Each night, the Cop can investigate one player (by sending their name to the Moderator), and finds out whether that player is Mafia or not. The Cop is on the Town's side.

Doctor - Each night, the Doctor can choose one player to protect (by sending their name to the Moderator). If the Mafia (or anyone else) tries to kill that player, they will fail. The Doctor is on the Town's side.

Mafia


ALSO:
if you're dead, you can still post (in italics only) as long as you don't tell anyone what side you were on, or any other spoilers. Also, people who are alive obviously aren't allowed to pm each other spoilers either.

If anyone else has an idea, feel free to say.


But I think this will be AWESOME if everyone contributes and we can make this into a reality!


I will make a sign-up sheet if you guys decide that this is a good game.

oh and i found this, maybe helpful

Nothing related to Mafia... anyways you guys should make a shoutbox. or maybe change forum colors when it comes close to a holiday or something. cause (no offense) these colors get really boring over time.

Achicken, out!

i thinkk you should consider putting us on the same team. not only are all of us master strategists, you know that one of us would leak information

we should host large games like this on jts every few months

 Aye, even if we didn't want to help the other out, we would. :P

 I have no idea.

Pirates ARRR cool.

I love this game! Sign me up should I post my email on the internets?
