Mafia: Discussion, History and Waiting List Thread

[BKB1991]

I havent been mafia for a while..

I've updated the waiting list in the first post.

Trouble with GF is having to work with people who claim already-claimed characters.

Damn, that's right. Maybe not. I don't know. Operating alone is a good idea actually.

I've been mafia for the past 3 games and I hate it. Note to future mods - don't give me a mafia role. Being town is much better and easier.

 

[barmyarmy]

Maybe you're just covering for next time

 

[MaD]

The roles aren't going to be given randomly too...
I'm trying to make tonnes of hidden stuff since I'm tryin' to play bastard mod, but I don't think I'm bastard enough. Maybe some ideas.
I don't really wanna give too much away but I will be balancing mid game if needed, its hard to balance games with heavy roles.

 

[barmyarmy]

Can I suggest a mafia role that comes up as townie when killed? That ought to shake things up.

 

[MaD]

Actually screw bastard, I don't wanna make things unfair, but yeah I'll do stuff like that.

 

[barmyarmy]

There's also a miller variation when he turns up mafia when dead.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Actually, there can be many variations. Mods can make their own too depending on the theme. I also agree balancing at the start with many roles is very difficult. Mid game balancing is the way to go.

Still you wanted to win it. You were soooo overpowered. Couldn't be killed till at least 3 other people were dead. But, as I always say, that was the game I personally enjoyed the most. May have to do with the role I got.

It was definately my most enjoyable game and I have to say the best mafia game I've played.

I knew all the mafia by the time I was dead despite not having a role, then came back as mafia, convinced the town I was Ginny for a little while until I didn't care and Abhas and I had a fool-proof to win the game until the last day where I only needed one lynch to be lynched off :/ That game changed though, the town were dominating until Abhas and I joined the mafia. It didn't help that the mafia had probably the most unexperienced mafia team (paki didn't post and lynched off Day 1, Matt was an idiot but somehow I managed to get out of trouble for a little bit, p23456789 played pretty poorly but it was one of his first games and Bevab who myself and ARay had worked out was mafia on day 2, I think)

Dat insane cop and bus driver combo

 

[Gaurav_7]

That was the best move I've ever come across.

 

[barmyarmy]

Maybe give the mafia a bus driver

 

[Chewie]

That was the best move I've ever come across.

And we would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for them meddling kids!
