the game of mafia, NEW GAME 1
#14038364 - 02/27/11 08:30 PM (13 years, 6 days ago) |
|

I was talking to decypher, and talking about how the game of mafia going in the psychology session takes 6 days just to go one round, it's ridiculous. So I asked him if he wanted to start a new game, and he said "noooo, I don't want to, I'm stuck in this game, blah blah blah." lol. So anyway I decided to start a new one here. I want to explain what will be different, but FIRST, let me report the rules of the game from the last game in the psychology section:
"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse....
http://mychinaconnection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/I-ll-make-him-an-offer-he-can-t-refuse.jpg
If you haven't heard of the fairly popular party game Mafia, I'd like to propose we play an online version of it. It involves deception, bluffing, social bonding, manipulation and insight into human nature, and requires nothing more than a commitment to post daily and the ability to send private messages. Once the game is complete we can discuss its psychological and sociological implications, which should prove to be a fairly fruitful topic.
The Rules:
I will be the moderator of the game, otherwise known as God. The game requires at least around 10 people excluding me to play: preferably 12 or more. The players will be divided into 4 categories: Townsmen, Mafioso, Guardian Angels, and Detectives. The goal of the Townsmen, Guardian Angels and Detectives is to root out the Mafioso; the goal of the Mafioso is to kill off everyone else.
The game is played in a series of rounds, where each round is comprised of a day and a night. During the night, the Mafioso consult each other via PM and decide who they want to kill, sending this information to me (God). The Guardian Angels then can pick one person (consulting each other via PM to decide who) to save from a Mafioso hit by messaging God with their decision. This can include themselves. Finally, the Detectives pick one person after consultation via PM with each other for investigation as to their status; querying God via PM will let them know whether the person they selected is a Mafioso or a regular Townsman (which includes being a Guardian Angel or Detective). When all this is complete, the next day dawns.
During the day, the happenings of last night are let known: who got shot/stabbed/thrown to the fishies with a cement block around their shoes. The members of the town (including the undercover Mafioso) then assemble at a town meeting to vote on who might be a Mafioso: in other words, free posting in this thread commences. Anyone can nominate anyone else by explicitly saying "I nominate So-and-So" and giving their reason for suspecting that said person is a Mafioso, all in one post. Once a reason for nomination and a second have been made, the accused may give a defense consisting of a single post. Following this the town as a whole must vote on whether or not to lynch the accused by posting either "Yay" or "Nay" followed by each member's reasoning: in the case of the majority being in favor of lynching the accused is hanged until dead and his or her identity is divulged to the public. Once you're dead, you may no longer talk to others by posting in the thread or PMing people who are still alive and playing! Obviously there is no way to enforce this but for the enjoyment of all involved please refrain from doing so.
If the first nomination thus proposed has been successful and a town member has been lynched, night falls and a new round begins. If either a tie is reached or only a minority supports the lynching, the nomination has failed and conversation in the thread may begin anew until another nomination is given. This can be the same person who was nominated before; it doesn't matter. Also, a majority vote can be given to let night fall even if no one has been lynched yet.
The game is won by the Townsmen if they successfully lynch all the Mafioso; the game is won by the Mafioso if at least one of their party survives until the end of the game.
Strategies:
Townsmen: This is harder to accomplish online than it is in person, but on the whole look out for deception: the Mafioso by their very nature and goals will be trying to misdirect the town during the lynch meetings in order to cast suspicion on anyone but themselves. Also if you feel like you might get killed during the next night you can try to ask a Guardian Angel to save you.
Guardian Angels: Yes, you can simply decide to save yourself each round, but this is probably not helpful for your Townsmen on the whole. Look around each round to see who probably will get axed by the Mafioso and try to save them. Also try to save the Detectives if you can; they're one of your best chances for finding out who the Mafioso are.
Detectives: Your goal is obviously to discover who the Mafioso are and somehow communicate your knowledge to the group at large WITHOUT letting the Mafioso know that you're a Detective. Good luck.
Mafioso: Take out the Guardian Angels and Detectives first, if you can. Sometimes if the town suspects collaboration between two or more Mafioso it may be wise to sacrifice one of your team during the night to avert detection.
Initial Logistics:
If you're interested at all in playing, please post in this thread telling me your availability. Ideally I'll be able to log on to the forums at least twice a day; we will try to have one Day and one Night comprising one round in total per real-life day."
so that is it, and you can check in the psychology forum for the last game if you want to see how it works. But here are the conditions:
1) IF YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY, YOU NEED TO LOG IN TWICE A DAY. SERIOUS. this is what I said on number 1:
I have been waiting 20 days for the last game to end(NOT KIDDING)
you need to take this serious. yes, it's just a game, but it works in cycles of voting and murders and MOST people from the last game, only log in every 3 or 4 days, and so the game has taken a few weeks. you CAN NOT VOLUNTEER to be in the game IF you only log on every 5 days. In fact I wish I could filter out before hand who does and does not log in every day, because the last game has taken A RIDICULOUSLY LONG TIME.
that is about it. before we get started, we need all the players, and we need someone to be god. if you want, go ahead and pm me. and if you have any questions, pm decypher, as he knows all the rules that exist. Thanks a lot, looking forward to it.

you got it. I nominate and yay you god. don't forget as god all you can do is call in the votes and hang whoever. plus give the nominated his defense.
pm me my role if you want. but then again, no one else has replied to this thread yet, so anyway, take your time I guess. Thanks a lot. welcome to the next game GOD(I hope you are serious and not joking)

ARGGH
well, maybe I should STAY as god. after all since I started the thread if I was anyone important(angel, detective, mafia), I would ruin the game, since I get the feeling I'd be the first person to hang. 
I could be wrong, but who WOULDN'T be suspicious
well, in that case todcasil, would you like to be in the game? let me know, and pm me what role you'd like to have. THANKS
BTW IF ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO BE GOD, LET ME KNOW BEFORE I ASSIGN TODCASIL HIS ROLE, OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE

well, this has been a lot more honest that the psychology and philosophy game section. so far, NO ONE has been interested. 
why not. better than a lot of people joining and then no one playing. lmao

don't forget to pm me what you want your roll to be.
and welcome!
also enlightened won has joined us
another 10-20 people and we can start. maybe even tonight(but I'm tired so probably not until at least tomorrow morning)
3 people have joined so far. all roles kept a secret. if you want to reveal who you are when the game begins, feel free to do so but not until then(obviously as detective or angel, no way that mafia would want to reveal themself )
