Official Stage48 Mafia [Hall of Fame/General Discussion]

Intro
Since Mafia is starting to get a little popular around these parts of the forum, and we've had quite a few games. I decided that we needed to organize everything together so that it would be easy to go through everything. This thread will also serve as a general discussion thread so we don't crowd the post dump. Of course, you shouldn't be discussing who you think is mafia and who isn't as the game is going on.

What is Mafia?

It is a game filled with lies and psychological tactics. More than once, we have seen people deceive their foes straight to victory. It is a very involving game, and forces you to learn to analyze and spot inconsistencies. One can say that it also helps to form some great bonds between players as they struggle together for victory.

RESERVED

Kay, I think that's enough reserved. Please do your dead townie complaining her from now on. You can also discuss the old games and characters that you love.

Ranking your favourite characters, plot points games and hints and everything can be discussed here!

Also talk about what you thought was done well and what could have been better. There's lots to discuss!

(It'll take me time to complete the rest of the posts)

 

me Me me!

Ok... first on the Gameplay style:

SHOULD we do MCs? .... ok, this is from the italian version on facebook... but, there the GM puts a "theme of the day", then, EVERY PLAYER has to "give a hint" about his/her role that goes with that theme...
of course, mafia or anyone, CAN LIE AT WILL... (if not would be too easy)...
But, Mafia must KNOW HOW to lie... because the "Theme" changes everyday...
Example:
GM: Today's theme: MUSIC VIDEO.
Character in MAFIA hidding under the witch role (not mafia): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhzJO34SCoc
Another character: Ah, you're the witch!.
and so the MAFIA can survive... BUT, he must remember every quote he had because if he misses one and falls into contradiction, it's almost as asking to get lynch. ^^

Disadvantage: Well... gets the game too easy, maybe, after a couple of times.
Advantage: You force the players to cooperate... AND COOPERATE!. Not the: "Ah yeah, hi! be back later"...
But I don't know if you would like this idea.
================================

And to the players (specially the ones on the TOWN side):

If you are getting lynched.... FIGHT BACK AT ALL COST AND WITH ALL YOUR WILL!!!!
comm'on, it's a "Roleplay" style, YOU ARE GETTING LYNCHED BY YOUR OWN FRIENDS AND COMPANIONS!!!

In some games there is the:
"Oh well, you are lynching me, anyway... bye bye"


And poof, we lynch a townie "for free"... comm'on, DEFEND YOURSELF, with EVERYTHING you have... tell your character, your ability, whatever, YOU ARE GETTING LYNCHED!!!!


===================================



Emmm... that.

bad ideas?

 

If anyone can lie at will, then what's the point in having a theme? Either way, we won't find out anything. Plus it seems way too easy. I think it's more fun to figure it out for yourself than giving hints all of the time.

Plus, it might be harder for people that have different kinds of abilities. In Mafia 3, I was a role-blocker. I'm not sure how I'd go about saying that. xD Or I could give a hint that I was Lover, though that'd make it way too risky since the mafia would know who to kill since it's like killing two birds with one stone.

If we had a music video theme for Mafia 2, I was a bodyguard, so I could just do this:

Spoiler

[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRMbcQ3Kg3g[/yt]

I'm trying to imagine Choukoku running up to Atsuko, singing "I will always love you~!". (The clip is from "The Bodyguard" if anyone didn't know. xD)

 

i think theres something that should change in the win/lose thing. its not really fair to say all town wins when say, only 5 towines stayed alive until the end. or when jasey/sada won when BOTH died aka the faction didnt exist anymore yet they still "won".

maybe giving those who got until the end another point or something to make it more memorable that they stayed alive until the end?

 

So a third slot for survivors? Yeah I can do that, this is still just in the making so :3

Or I could make it a point system instead of Win-Lose. You get points for how well you did each game perhaps, so a default 5 points for surviving, 10 points for winning, 10 for MVP and so on.

Then we can have each player have like 5 points to give out, and they give it to people they think deserve it or something =X

 

Yeah, 'cause technically I stayed alive.

At the same time, though, it's unfair to the people that died early on even if their goals were acheived. If the town's goals are to "eliminate all threats" and all threats are eliminated, then they should win even if they didn't make it to the end, unless if it says "eliminate all threats and survive". Not everyone will survive until the end, so it's sorta unfair for the people whose goals were reached, but they can't win since they died. =/

 

but when you die you.. die. you lost your game the moment you died. even if your goals were achieved later on, you were dead so you probably didnt really help to clear it so i dont think its fair at all to the ppl that actually managed to survive until the end.

 

So the point system could be something like this?

MVP.............................................20 points
Winning team.................................10 points
Survivor........................................5 points
Vigilante.......................................5 points for each PRO-TOWN kill
Doctor Roles....................................5 points per successful protection (someone attacked the target)
Killing roles.....................................2 points per kill (Serial killer, alien)

Points awarded by other players............XX points (each having 5 to award, can be split up however they like)

Anymore ideas?

 

^The only objection that I have to the 2 points per kill on serial killing is simply...I just had to sit back and watch while you all killed each other, so strategically it's awesome, but I only get 4 points. XD

 

To encourage participation... but... "real one".... not the...

"Yeah, I'm checking, bye".

And the worst part:

Day 1:
(First hours)
Oh yeah, who, when how, look at this, yeah, right...
(middle hours)
Now, we have everything more or less settled with characters... now what?
(late hours)
I don't know?... ok,
No lynch...
No lynch...
No lynch....
No lynch is declared...

Day 2:
(First hours)
Wooooooow
(Middle hours)
Aha... now... what we do?
I don't know...
(Late hours)
ok... no lynch
no lynch...
no lynch...
No lynch is declared....

Day 3:
.... and so on...

but what I hate the most it's the:
Player A: Who hasn't post yet?
Player B: MIAUMIAUCITO...
Player A: Ok...
MIAUMIAUCITO: Hey guys!, I'm checking!.
Players: Oh hi!...
MIAUMIAUCITO: Ohhh... what an interest game eh?... ok guys, bye!.
Players: .........

So... what's the point of having MIAUMIAUCITO in the game?.

See what I mean?...

Having an MCs (today we will gonna....) at least can force those players to say something USEFUL!.

Because it's not a matter of time because we understand people have things to do etc...
but it's a matter of making that little time they have to post, actually useful for the rest of the players....

 

i think thats point chart is just putting too much into it XD you'll hate to make that point count later on.

personally i think just with 1 point if the team you were part of won and you survived until the end is the way to go. if you lost you lost and if you died you died. for some reason i dont think its the same for mafia though, since they are like 4 against 16 so they all kinda deserve a point is mafia wins.

or you can just make another category for survivors if you ppl like that better. (i still think its not fair the jurina-faction won in the second game though >__>)

 

You're only saying that because you're mafia.

 

(I HATE THAT DAMN 500 ERROR!!!!)

But take in mind that some abilities are thought in "the faction" and not in the player itself.
for example the one that if you are lynched you "take away" with you the last one that voted you...
The only way to USE your ability is dying.
So you have to die to cooperate with the rest of the Mafia members...
So this kind of abilities are, as I said, thought about faction as a group and not as a single player.

(ANOTHER F***** 500!)

 

The thing is, I think just showing who won and lost doesn't really reflect what each member did in the game. Some people could have survived until the end by not posting too, so =/. Some people certainly played much better than others and the Win-Lose-Survivor doesn't really reflect their skill much. (It pains me to put some mafia members at 0-2 when they did well >_>)

I think with the points system, it could urge some people to play their roles better too =X

 

You're the GM, you must be the one deciding who played better and deserves a point and who didn't.

 

i think the points thing is really good but i just said that because i think its going to be troublesome for you in the future. if that doesnt bother you i think its indeed the best option.

lol. no >_>

 

Of course, that's what I mean.

I know who played better and who didn't, but there's nothing I can do to force people to play better =X With this, I can give some sort of incentive for playing well I guess >_>

Imagine what would happen if I said the person with the most points at the end January gets the next AKB single as a prize. NO ITS NOT HAPPENING, ITS MY SINGLE D=

Just about everything I do nowadays is troublesome T_________T
