But those’re the only Mafia games I’m good at, we have to have another one so I can feel better about myself!
On a serious note, it’d take some pretty innovative fine-tuning to make that game balanced. It’d be a blast to play though, lots of chances for mindgames. For example, do you tell the bitten player that you’re planning on killing someone (Actually Mafia) but changed your mind at the last minute (to the person you’ve been wanting to kill all along) or do you just not recruit at all and hope Doctor uses Cure and screws someone important over or do you try to bite the Doctor to nullify his role.
Roster-wise we’d have more time to advertise for it and get everyone all hype for it so I don’t think rounding up 30 people would be a big problem. I’ll help any way I can.
A Naruto game sounds like it could get pretty crazy too. Could possibly be another 3-faction game. Villagers, Uchiha, Hyuuga, Akatsuki, lots of options. After your game at the end of the year we should have a poll to see what the next theme should be. Naruto, DBZ, Breaking Bad, SRK Mafia, etc…
I’m planning on turning this into a 23 player game. Roles should be out on an American Saturday. I’ve got the extra roles in my head, just gonna balance a little, then see the feedback from you guys.
Queso, these are the extra roles I’m adding:
(I’ll put the info on the actual cards later. I made up the action names pretty damn quickly, so if you have a better name, please tell me.)
Super High School Level Gamer: Chiaki Nanami: C-(Extra Life) Can sacrifice herself during night phase, nullifying all Mafia kills that night.
M-(“I WAS PRESSING BUTTONS! FUCKING LAG!” -DSP) [Editor’s note- I’m sorry, it had to be done]Can sacrifice herself during night phase, and the Mafia will be allowed to kill another chosen player that night.
C-(1-Up) Can sacrifice herself during night phase, nullifying all Mafia kills that night.
M-(Role-Back Netcode) Can sacrifice herself during night phase, and the Mafia will be allowed to kill another chosen player that night.
**Super High School Level Coach: Nekumaru Nidai
C-(Coaching (Civ)) Can continue to play in the thread post-death. Cannot join Loser’s Lounge.
M-(Coaching (Mafia)) Can continue to participate in the Mafia PM post-death. Cannot join the Loser’s Lounge.
**Super High School Level Nurse: Mikan Tsumiki
C-(Nurse) Can target 1 person per night. If that person has been targeted by the Medic a previous night without needing saving, that person will recieve protection until it is needed. If Ishimaru (Normal Medic) is Mafia, this will instead be the Medic role. Tsumiki will not know if Ishimaru is Mafia or not.
M-(Malpractice) Twice in the game, a last gasp can be blocked.
Super High School Level Princess: Sonia Nevermind
C-(Diplomatic Immunity) Kirigiri will learn that she (and the player’s username) is Civilian prior to the game starting. She also cannot be killed by Genocider Syo (Will come up as Medic saved her)
M-(Criminology) Genocider Syo’s role will not be handed out.
Super High School Level Animal Breeder: Gundam Tanaka
C-(The Four Dark Lords of Destruction) One-time use, Night Phase only. When this ability is used, the Mafia’s night kill will be delayed by 1 cycle. The target of the Mafia will be announced in the write-up, as well that this ability has been used.
M-(Dark Spell of Silencing) Each night phase, Gundam may choose a player. That player will not be allowed to post in the next Day Phase. Cannot silence the same person twice.
That was surprisingly difficult. It’s hard to make actions not be spoilery, be true to the character, and not be too similar to someone else’s role. Anyways, please tell me what’s broken.
Komaeda is a reverse jester, yes?
The jester’s win condition is to get lynched, however, this is the opposite of that.
I do not know if it’s broken but it can abruptly end a game.
Hajime - A trade for the UC. Instead of learning allegiance if he investigates Hajime he gets “Inconclusive” and since there’s no other way to get an Inconclusive he learns that the player is Hajime. Don’t see a problem with it, but I don’t see very much point aside from having a role for everyone.
Komaeda - I like it. It encourages the player to contribute and be a threat to Mafia (good) and there’s no penalty to Mafia for killing him because is still eliminating a problematic player. Lets him go in super hard on his Mafia suspects and then if he’s killed by Mafia he can just peace out with the W.
Nanami - Civ ability should be called “1-Up” and Mafia ability should be “Rollback Netcode.” I like the DSP joke though. It’s very interesting, seems pretty balanced.
Nekomaru - Kenny, basically. I think it’s good. It’d be a risk for Mafia to recruit him by role since they don’t know who got it. While having a coach in the Mafia PM could be a great help, it might not help much depending on the player.
Koizumi - This has the potential to be the most broken role of them all. Useful for Mafia, but editing a post would be EXTREMELY suspicious and a roleclaim once you aren’t DQd. Insane shenanigans possible with this ability.
Tsukumi - Interesting. Might be too easy to protect big players with this and Medic, but that’d require smart play from all parties involved with minimal communication.
Nevermind - I don’t see much reason for recruiting her as Mafia, the Vigi generally helps the Mafia more than the Civilians.
Tanaka - I like the civ ability, it lets you know what the Mafia did but leaves the target alive to discuss and continue to pressure. Game changing if used properly and utterly pointless if not.
So judging by Nevermind’s ability, the order of assignment goes: Roles are handed out > Valedictorian is assigned > Mafia are chosen > Genocider Syo is assigned.
I think it’d raise the possibility of recruiting her up a lot. Just remember to take into consideration the Valedictorian’s ability of killing people based on knowing their roles.
Yeah, sorry guys. I posted a few words in the loser’s thread to apologize for getting tanked & salty after getting lynched in the last game. But in case you don’t see it, sorry to Pimp Willy, Pietastic, GodotsRevenge and pretty much everyone else in that game.
Hope to see you soon… er… PW, how long is my ban period?
:tup:
I really wasn’t sure how long to ban for editing, and I just did it to be fair about Sovi3t’s ban of 3 games. But since Manx’s post didn’t affect the game at all, it could be lowered if people are okay with it.
