Interest check (Mafia game)

So yeah I'm thinking of running a game and wanted to see if any of y'all would be interested.

BUT NOVA - WHAT IS MAFIA?

Mafia is a game of guile and deception, a game of wits and trickery, a game of gibbering nonsense and crushed friendships. There are two teams, the Town and the Mafia: The Town outnumber the Mafia 3/1 (or 4/1), but they also don't know who's on their side and who's dirty scum - only the Mafia knows that. In other words, it's uninformed majority versus informed minority.

During the Day phase, all of the players deliberate amongst themselves - The Town try to figure out who's Mafia, and the Mafia try to protect their identities - and at the end of the day, they all vote on someone to lynch. The unfortunate victim (or deserving scoundrel) gets the axe, their alignment is revealed, and the Day ends... giving way to the Night phase, where the Mafia convene in secret to kill someone while the Town sleeps. When they decide on an unlucky victim, Night ends and the Town awakes to a fresh corpse.

The Town's goal is to wipe the Mafia out - No matter how many of their own they lose, the entire Town wins if the entire Mafia is killed. The Mafia's goal is to reduce the Town's number until it is equal to or less than their own, at which point they overrun the stragglers and their team claims victory.

It gets more complicated than that, but that's the gist. Sound like something you're interested in? If so, post here and let me know or contact me via Skype. A good game size imo is between twelve and twenty players, but there's almost no upper or lower limit. Just be advised that A GAME OF MAFIA IS A COMMITMENT - You should be able and willing to post regularly EVERY DAY for as little as a week and as much as a month (though that's really only for HUGE games with like 50 people).

Also, if it you'd like to play but you won't be available 'til Summer, let me know anyway! I may just postpone it 'til then. I just figured Spring Break was the best time besides that to see if anyone was down to play.

 

Is this death note

 

im down .

 

I'll give it a shot.

 

I know that you know that I know I wanna play this game.

 

Get out

 

I'm so in .

 

I wanna be the shinigami.

 

Ooh, I love that game! Never played it online before, but it's great at parties. Especially when I got everyone to transform it into a Star Wars version during my annual May the 4th Be With You party a few years back. We changed it to Sith, with Jedi being the police. lol, we also gave the accused a chance to speak in their defense. When one poor soul tried to convince us she was riding her Speeder from Tatooine to Degobah at the time in question, everyone decided to lynch her because really, you can't ride a speeder from Tatooine to Degobah. Turns out she was innocent, but them's the breaks.

No, I wasn't a Sith at the time. I didn't use mob psychology to throw the accused under the bus and thus cast suspicion off of myself.

Oh, uh, what are you talking about? I didn't say anything.

I also convinced the other Sith to agree to kill my dad, because let me tell you, he is way too smart for his own good.

 

I may or may not introduce a unique flavor. Thinkin' about it.

 

WONDERRRR JUMP!... into this game. I'm down.

 

Well the obvious KH twist is to make the Mafia Nobodies

 

Possibly, maybe down for it.

 

Sounds like fun, count me in if ever.

 

I love these kind of games. I'd totally be up for it, but I won't really be reachable during spring break (got a trip I'm taking).

 

I think that's about twelve people, so I'll start hammering out the deets. The game thread's gonna be in the Playground, but I'll link to it here when it goes up. In the meantime, keep posting if you're interested either now or in the Summer; I could easily do more than one game, or others could host one if they're interested!

 

Oh, forgot to say I'd be interested

 

I'd prefer to start summer or now. either way is fine since summer is like 2 weeks away from now.
