RPG Mafia Thread (Current game: Rewrite Mafia)

[Bardiche]

Kilga's game got all the lurkers out of the woodwork.

[Kilgamayan]

Funny what a mod blacklist will do.

Although I will only truly consider signups a great success if they manage to drag K4U back into the game.

[Bardiche]

I think it's you. I'd totally have signed up too, but alas.

[BT]

Just expand this to 16p-17p, easy peasy. A few german bombs will do the trick.

nonononono

[Bardiche]

I'm not yet so antsy for Mafia that I want Kilga to go the extra mile for me and rebalance for 14. Or 15. Or 16.

[Conqueror]

April Fools, you've all signed up for Kilga's Jester Nightless Setup!

[Omba]

Funny what a mod blacklist will do.

Considering I haven't played in a long time and Dan only flipped out at the end of last game from what I've seen, that would leave Rawr, which I doubt had that much, if any influence on the speed of sign-ups, so... yeah, most likely just the fact that it's you hosting.

ActionDan: If you count a draw as 1/2 win and if you simplify the decision to 100% chance of draw if no NK and 50% of win if NK, that seems pretty much identical to me, at least as far as a single game goes.
And as for what Zak based his choice on - if town is fucked either way, the only difference it would make is for some hypothetical future game with a similar situation that allows for a draw. Don't think that really should have factored into his decision.

[Kilgamayan]

As much as I appreciate the enthusiasm for the game and sympathize with those that didn't get in, I'd prefer not to expand to 16 or 17, for a few reasons. (I don't like 14 or 15 so I would expand to that anyway.)

HOWEVER I would be willing to consider it if at least one person after Raitaki and Bard expressed interest in joining AND none of the existing players had an objection to a larger game, as I know there are some that don't like larger games. I don't expect balance to be an issue, but I have a vested interest in player base happiness.

[BT]

Oh, I was joking around. I don't think *I* mind a bigger game but it's really nbd.

[Raikaria]

Don't care if there's 3 or 300 in the setup, to be honest.

301 is too much, however. I also dislike 186 for personal reasons I do not feel like divulging.

[Schezo]

If 16 people join who will replace them???

[Kilgamayan]

You say that now, but when you have 72 hours to reread 750,000 posts on Day 136 your motivation might start to dip a tad.

Fake edit: Ideally no one. To be honest, I don't see anyone presently on the player list that I'd consider an activity concern.

[Pesco]

You hope so. More players should provide more reading, which causes more apathy from the players who prefer to wave their hands around all day.

[Kilgamayan]

That is part of my major concern, yes. There are a couple of minor concerns as well - delaying the next game after me and producing more characters that make sense being a couple of examples.

(I already know how I'd modify the setup, so that's actually zero concern.)

[PX]

Want a co-mod/replacement/hydra?

[Shadoweh]

You know how I feel about the more the merrier. I suggest new additions are randomized and hydra'd to unexpecting and unwilling players. Especially Bardiche.

You could just kick out SHadoweh and give me her slot.

But really, no need to modify the setup for me, Kilga. Even if Raitaki would like it. I'm honestly not that hunkering for a Mafia game, I just thought it'd be nice to play in the ones you've made because they're generally good. I'll get in next time you're host.

Maybe.

[Serela]

301 is too much, however. I also dislike 186 for personal reasons I do not feel like divulging.

> Kitten4u and NeoSerela had been in disagreement over NeoSerela's latest Psycho Plot Mafia the Extreme setup for 64 players. Two days ago, Kitten4u invited NeoSerela to her room to discuss matters again. The room was securely locked with a steel door, and it was locked from the inside.
> Between 9 PM and 12 o' midnight, Kitten4u was shot in the face with a gun.

Well now I know at least two people who would sign up for it

Turning one of the game roles (whether vanilla or otherwise) into a Power Role Hydra to accomodate people who want to /in sounds amusing but I know plenty of people don't like hydras, so.

I started daydreaming about "OH GOD MY 4 HEADS WON'T STOP TALKING TO ME AND ONE OF THEM IS JUST TROLLING, SHOOT ME NOW"

[NekoNekoRex]

I would say "you could always just pre-in for my game" but it's going to be anonymous so that might be slightly more difficult.

[Kilgamayan]

I haven't assigned roles yet. <_<

Bard: Don't worry about setup balance. I don't want to go into too much detail right before a game, but the way I design setups tends to be very conducive to adjustments based on unexpected player counts. When I said I knew how I'd modify my setup for 16 or 17 I meant it. :V So don't worry about it. The other things I listed are the things worth worrying about.

Real Edit: Also there will be no hydras regardless of anything.

[Edible]

I'm hydraing with myself and NO MAN CAN STOP ME

[Raikaria]

*Grows multiple heads*

Am I Hydraing right?

Also requesting that on the 2nd Klinga confirms the Hydra thing as not an April Fools. You know, cause April 1st.

Well I would agree if it was a random 50% chance.  But that should not have been the case.  What motivation is there for town to side with the party that unilaterally decided to guarantee town's loss.  There should be none.  The hypothetical future game you mention occurs more often than you might think.  In fact it may not matter that town doesn't have full information when speculating on the potential outcomes of the endgame scenarios.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

Well it's either siding with SK or siding with scum so why does it even matter?

[ActionDan]

Well it's either siding with SK or siding with scum so why does it even matter?

because what motivation will there be the next time for someone to not screw town out of the win without the threat of any repercussions? Town will be disadvantaged the next time it finds itself in the same position

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

To me there was none since I hate the concept of draws.

[Affinity]

eww futo but im fine with anyone.  Also fine with a larger game.

[Kilgamayan]

Gonna give people a couple more hours to weigh in on adding up to 16/17 slots before I make my decision. This has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I have to leave for rehearsal in two minutes what are you talking about.

For the record, should we reach 16 the added characters will be Lord Tenma (Shinto), Eiki Shiki (Buddhism), and Seiga Kaku (Taoism). Increasing to 17 will add Iku Nagae (Buddhism) to the fold.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

No Yoshika, not worth it. :derp:
