Mafia: Discussion, History and Waiting List Thread

[barmyarmy]

First post has:
1. Crazy Mafia by MaD
2. Grammy/Music Mafia by Varun

I think Aditya was going to do Tennis Mafia and anyone who fancies can run a 5-man police academy mafia.

I suggest you see if MaD and Varun are ready to start either of theirs as Scooby Doo looks fairly close to endgame.

In the wikis it seems like the mafia can have any of their number perform the kill on any given night. This is only my second game, but that's not how we've been playing it. It would clearly give the mafia quite an advantage - relatively speaking - if we played that way. Have you done so in the past? (And did the mafia keep winning all the time lol?)

@Barmyarmy - I've not been able to give much time to Scooby Doo mafia. User has been basically running it on his own. Due to exams, I haven't been able to give it as much time as I thought I would. So, I'm looking forward to run tennis mafia but Spoobir can run his mafia game before mine as I've been part of the Scooby Doo mafia and I can wait a bit before starting another mafia game.

 

[barmyarmy]

In past games the mafia have been able to do that. Depends on how the mod writes the roles. I think they could in HP mafia.

I don't think that has ever happened on PC. I don't remember. I personally don't like that thing. It is Godfather's role, so he should perform it. Only when the GF dies, the killing role should be passed to other mafia members.

 

[barmyarmy]

I thought in HP the roles could be performed by different people which changed how the blocking worked. Not sure it was actually taken advantage of.

I've never ventured into this part of the forum before and I have to say I find this game fascinating.

Mafia games don't have to have a godfather. THat's when you get the situation when anyone can make the kill I believe

 

[MaD]

Sorry Spoobir, I've been waiting to run my game

 

[BKB1991]

Played mafia with some people for the first time face-to-face. Its quite different and entertaining.

I think I've played it before irl but I can't quite remember, it was a while ago

 

[MaD]

Yeah I played it a few weeks ago, although it was jut basic Mafia and Town with 2 Town Assassins, using playing cards.

In HP, either me or Malfoy would have to perform the kill for the night when I was alive.

It varies from mod to mod. In the Smurfs mafia, I gave the option to the Godfather that he could choose someone else to perform the kill. But with a catch though. That person could not perform their own night role (if they had one).

Think Pokemon mafia had the same rule. Can't remember though.

Haha this. My uni bus has this game going each and everyday. 18 of us taking part, comprising off 5 mafias, highly entertaining stuff.
