Mafia Town - GAME OVER (Town Wins)
 

This will be based around Town of Salem rule set a bit, with a few changes that hopefully make it work as a forum based game. The roles used will be randomly determined based upon the parameters listed in the rules section.

If this plays out well I will start hosting more games based upon this rule set.

Rules
Nomination Deadline: 2:00 PM EST - Flexible

Vote Deadline: 9:00 PM EST

Night Deadline: 10:00 PM EST

PM Posting: No Direct Quoting Allowed: violators lose their ability for the remainder of the game

Upon Death: No PM'ing to other players until the game is over, you may be revived and you may still get to talk to the medium

Wills: Each player may write a Will that will be read upon the player's death. Details will be given at the start of the game for sending me a will that you would like to use upon death, and updating as the game continues.

Death Notes: Any player that kills another player will have the option of leaving a death note that will also be read at the scene of the crime.

Nominations: For a player to be placed up for lynch that player must receive the number of voted totaling more than 50% of the remaining players. Example - If there are 7 players remaining the player must receive 4 votes. Once a player reaches that total the voting will be over and that player will be placed up for lynch. Example - If 7 players remaining and a player receives 4 nomination by 11 PM that phase will end and the lynch vote phase will begin.

Lynch Votes: Lynch votes will be guilty or innocent, or a player can not vote at all. It takes a majority of votes cast to lynch the the player. Example - if only 3 of the remaining 10 players vote it would only take 2 guilty votes to hang the player.

Jester Guilt: Only players that vote guilty when a jester gets lynched will be options for the jester to select to die from guilt.

I am in!

In.

Sure why not!

So EF, is there something different about this game than our normal WW games? I mean besides individual rules. Did you say you were looking to do a quick game set?

Only slight differences

1) The initial nomination for lynch vote, followed by lynch vote.
2) The potential roles and wills/death notes (which I will detail more when my home internet returns; it is out until Friday as we wait for service after the storm this morning).
3) There is great potential for carnage. :)
4) Dead people can still contribute through the medium. Something I am trying to work out the balance for.


We have probably had games with a little of each variety. It looks like these games should be pretty quick in most cases.

Depending on a few thing I could be interested. I would like to see how overall turnout looks first.

My one concern is that I could go entire 12 hour blocks without being available and even longer than that being truly able to take everything in.

In

Sure, I'll play.

Let me tell you now - you gotta hold that sucker down!

Will update the rules a bit more over the weekend. Got my internet working again, without Verizon's help. Not sure why customer support didn't provide the same support as customer comments on their site...

Added the role split, updated a couple of the role details.

Haven't read the rules, but count me in.

I will play. I just have to be better about remembering to come here and read and participate

In

Welcome, just need 5 more and we can set the starting date.

I'll join

Welcome, just 4 more players and we can kick this off.

In my will, I will leave my collection of embarrassing private messages from FOFC members to the next person who signs up.

Just need 4 more!!!

Going to make a push to get this started, just need 4 more.

If this is still a go I think I actually have time to play this now. My schedule just cleared up. If start is still a few weeks away I may have to back out though.

Another bump. Just need 3 more. IF we're lucky we can start next week.

May be fun to get a group from here on a game there live as well. The problem that I have with the game there is that it moves way too quickly. Trying to explain logic to people doesn't work.

They have a new game mode that is super intense. It has: 2 town, 2 mafia, 2 serial killers, 2 arsonists, 2 survivors, 2 amnesiacs, 2 witches and 1 complete random. The 2 town are the jailor and the veteran so one can kill if visited and one can kill after jailing someone.

I have to vote out dubb so I'm in.

Yay!

I'm hoping EF is cool to run it with two less people than he planned.

Woop woop!

FMP

Reality sets in...

is it too late to join?

heck no... welcome! We just need 1 more! And hopefully everyone is still with us... woot!

i haven't played WW in about 10 years, so I may need to read up a little.

I tried this once and it was insane (as stated - way too fast), so would like to see if it can be translated to a forum game. Even though I'm starting up a game elsewhere (game elsewhere for any of you who might be interested) it probably won't start right away, so . . .

I'm in!

Bump... if everyone is still on board, we're good to go here. Hopefully EF still wants to run it!

cant believe this took a month to fill up..

Here.

checking in

present

hep hep

Sorry folks. With as long as this took I gave up checking in on it.

If we are good (and have 15) we can start soon if that is good with everyone that signed up.

Can we get a check in (will check off the list below) and a confirmation if starting on 8/19 is good?

1) Zinto - in
2) timmae - in
3) britrock88 - in

yup

so this will take another month to confirm lol

in

In

a-yup!

dola: Rough break brit... the D1 monster snuck up and bit ya. Hopefully it won't occur here as well!

Lulz. It happens. Didn't have too much riding on it, so I didn't mind. But the BGG folks have yet to figure out that there are competent WW players out there that don't think D1 chatter is vitally important or insightful... or that tally-based voting is a thing you can do...

I couldn't be in until next week

With not all confirms yet we can start this on Monday.

Would probably work best starting on a Monday, to give a full week so we don't lose momentum after a couple days.

Are y'all full? Can you use an alternate? I may know a guy...

Im sorry, but I'm going to have to pull out. RA training begisn heavuly tomorrow, and we have training for 12 ish hours, often with no interent, for the day, and that runs until opening on SUnday/Monday the 30th/31st . Sorry.

I'm still in but extremely forgetful. Can you send out a mass PM when this starts?

Looks like we'll need a replacement.

In.

Welcome

I'm in. Posted earlier but didn't get on the list somehow.

bumping this back up

It's a conspiracy!

What are the odds?!

Just about everyone has checked in (or out).

Sweet!

Over/Under on PM clears? :)

There may be a delay sometime this week. I literally (just came from the message) just found out that someone who was my best friend from before kindergarten until 8th grade (we went to different schools after that) was killed in a car accident.

Waiting to hear when the funeral will be and if there is anything else being done for him.

Sorry to hear that EF.. that is more important then the game.. take your time

The game will still continue, nice distraction. May just have a day where results get delayed a bit.

Yo

yo

Hi, everybody!

I'm sorry EF :(

I attack the Cloud Giants.

Hi, Dr. Nick!

rub a dub vote dubb

hey man!

It's not even daytime. Slow your roll there a bit, chief.

I'll be in the rules if you need me.

So I agree with Dubb that we need to be more cautious with voting than in a typical game. I've never played this format, but it seems that nomination happens as soon as we hit a 50% vote, at which point our lynch is locked in or wasted. So we don't want runaways for no reason. I'm not sure yet what the proper strategy therefore is, but pretty sure it's not vote early and often.

I've played Town of Salem a few times when I was first figuring out WW here on FOFC. The format is definitely geared towards playing a quick online game with a bunch of people you have never played with before. I like the idea of moving the format over here as it is fun, hopefully we will find it to be the same.

On that note. Make sure you use your will every day and night. During the day submit a will to EF stating what you intend to do during the night, so in the event you get killed doing whatever it is that you are doing we have some information to use. Then update your will after each night to state what you have found, if it is good, neutral, or bad. Each person's will should start to help flesh out the big picture.

As an example, say I am the jailor. My will would look like this:

n1 - Jailed Ronald McDonald - claims he is the doctor
(n1) - Tinky Winky was nightkilled he was the escort
n2 - Jailed Grimace - claims he is the lookout
(n2) - Hamburgler was nightkilled he was the doctor, Ronald can't be the doctor
n3 - Jailed Ronald McDonald - Executed him

Or something along those lines.

How did Tinky Winky get involved?

All names were changed to protect the innocent

And I couldn't think of another McDonald's character

Shoot.. Mayor mccheese

People would have figured you were hinting.

Although maybe you were hinting by not using him!

+1 for you. :)

Ditto.

And yes. Though what's the harm in some early metas if a player's tally doesn't approach 50% of the size of the village?

vote Autumn

:p
