Mafia 2010 season now open! (MotK Mafioso Signups)

[UncertainJakutten]

And yes, it'll be role madness and probably bastard mod. I haven't even made the set up yet and I know you all will complain about it.

My only complaint about the last one is that it wasn't bastard-y enough.

Are you serious or just messing with me? I don't try to be a bastard mod, I try to make swing as hell set ups. Sometimes I accidentally slip in bastard roles though .

[Edible]

Righto.  Role PMs and the opening post will show up sometime this evening.

I'm serious. Maybe because I've never played a honestly Bastard Mod game. And maybe because I'm not so crazy about winning that I can't enjoy a good WTF!? moment, like Day 1 in UGW (which we won, but that's not the point). I can see that other players might not like it though.

After all, I'm playing Purvis' Paranoia game, so it's obvious that that I don't mind being consentingly screwed. 

...okay, that sounded weird.

Generally players don't mind as much when they know in advance. I'll try to bastardize this one if you all would like.

Actually...

Why must you be correct?

[Pesco]

Since it got brought up plenty, we're going to need some rules about players sticking to make the commitment of participating in the game.

New players we've never seen before: Link a game completed somewhere. Discretion up to the mod of the game.
People who've been lurking: Probably take a look at your general activity and conduct, link to prior experience is also preferable.
People with a bad history: Subject to approval from Godmothers, the durrent mod and any other management.

[Affinity]

Also, anyone who has a post ratio of less than once a day should be outright banned from participating in any future games unless any proof of redemption in other forums or such is shown.

Don't think that's too conclusive

[Affinity]

Ah, in the game threads, at least.

I recently decided that the RosenKreuzStilette game will be an Anonymous game.

For those that haven't done such a thing before, everyone will get a dummy account with which to play the game. This allows for two things: ease of roleplaying and drastically reducing meta, since you won't know for sure who is behind the mask until the game is over. It also allows for vacuum assessments of talent - oftentimes you'll find a handful of people play much better in an Anonymous setup than when everyone knows everyone, and the Night 1 kill won't automatically be Kiro or Youmu.

I have setups prepped for 13 players and 18 players, so I'm hoping for one of those counts.

[?q]

But my death gives people an excuse to make moe sound effects~

The only real catch to that is that people have to play in ways that don't lend to self-identification.  That's something each person will have to deal with and isn't something I would consider a flaw - if everyone realizes it - so I'm throwing that out there.

Alternatively, we should all mimic UncertainKitten with alt names like IndecisiveKitty, QuestioningFeline, ScaredyCat, etc.  And the real UK should be a power role or Chosen or something.

-----

My setup's next (again) and I've thrown out my old setup entirely due to its lameness and predictability.  As a result I still need a little time to ensure that this one is not "thought-provoking" in ways I'm not expecting.  However, the setup I have now is a modified Hurt and Heal game.  The setup is intended for (9) people, but me and Pes-co-mod have been batting around what to do if more people show up.

Game title is Super Touhou RPG due to lack of originality and me not wanting to use Super Mafia RPG unless the theme is around a certain SNES game.

If you don't want to be guessed, don't obviously be yourself. Part of the fun in Anon games is trying to guess who everyone was at the end, too.

The dummy accounts will be my creation and will most likely be the names of the characters.

Just asking, but what's hurt and heal?

[?q]

Just asking, but what's hurt and heal?

The basic concept is:
*Everyone starts with a set amount of HP (10, 6, etc.)
*Instead of voting to lynch people, you can choose to "hurt" or "heal" them (take away or add HP to them respectively)
*Anyone who reaches 0HP is dead
*The last faction standing wins

In a Mafia setting there's usually more to it than that (i.e. the Mafia night-kill gets replaced by something else), but that's the general idea behind it.

[Kiro]

That Hurt and Heal looks like a neat concept.

Also... I guess I better start thinking about my modded game before it gets here.

Why me? You don't think I can disguise myself?

More like it would be the most fun to see who can come close to your personality.

[Nachtwanderlied]

MAN

i have this feeling and urge to post in some sort of cryptic drawl


maybe in french

[UncertainJakutten]

Oh? Am I that dramatic? What about Pesco? Isn't he a rather suitable candidate?

Pesc⑨ doesn't have emotional appeals on his resume.

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

By the by, Kilga, what are you going to do with the dummy accounts when the game's done?  Are you just going to delete them, or do the players get to keep them?

I'm seriously putting consideration into joining a game, but I'll have to find some way around a fourteen-hour gap per 24 hours, as well as a possible full day void once a week.

I have a distinct feeling that it'd be a huge mob during the HaH game.

[Kilgamayan]

I might keep them for future Anonymous games.
