I've put a decent amount of thought into
Team Fortress 2 Mafia
. The game has some complicated mechanics (which I have yet to fully iron out), but looks great on paper.


I guess I mostly want to gague interest. I know there are a small handful of TF2 players, and I figure I could get a couple of people to play based on the gameplay/mechanics.

Thoughts?

proper
TF Mod.

Gangs of New York is actually a very fun card game to play in meat world. :) I'm guessing that is where you got the idea from. ;)

Okay my turn:

Traitor Mafia

The game starts with 0 mafia, with all players being Townies. At any point in the game, a townie can send a PM to the mod saying that he is
Turning Traitor
. The first few players (up to 25% of the currently living players) become a vanilla mafia. At that point, any players who turn traitor become aware of the mafia's names, and win if the mafia win, but do not have the ability to nightkill. THe mafia also do not know who the traitors are. If the mafiates all die, all traitors lose the game.

If 75% of the surviving players at any point are mafia or traitors, the remaining townsfolk become 'locked' into their roles and become a mason group with a shared vig ability.

There is a lynch every day, and there is a possibility that the game could be "Happy Ever After" after three days if no townies turn traitor. It will be interesting to see how players react to the stress of a tough game if they have the option of betraying town if things look tough. Also, the chance that the game will literally reverse itself at some point (Town being the informed minority) is also an interesting idea.

I know I am not very experienced, but unless I am wrong there appears to be several problems. My apologies if I am missing something. I am not very experienced.

1.) Doesn't the Mafia automatically win after becoming the majority? If so, the 75% thing would never work because the Mafia would have already won.

2.) The town has already won because there are no threats to the town. Why would anyone want to destroy an easy win by becoming Mafia?

3.) Unless I am wrong, scumhunting would be nearly impossible.

What Pentadragon said. Town wouldn't lynch and no-one would turn traitor, because they've already won without doing anything. Unless there are spoilsports among us. Which there aren't.

I'm a little rusty on TF2, but I'd play it. The flavour would be pretty easy to figure out even for a non-TF2 player, I would think.

I was almost surprised there hasn't been one yet, but I would play the hell out of a TF2 themed game.

Final Fantasy Tactics Mafia

At the beginning of the game, the players are told their race and starting job. Each night they can change to a different job(all of which are in the first post) or keep the job they have now. I think this would be very hard to balance, though.

I know that someone already did them, but would anyone be interested if I were to run a game for each of the 5 books in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy?

I had actually wanted to run exactly this at some point.

I'd be interested. Though of course the exact plot of the game needs to diverge more and more as the series continues :D

I would love to play this game. I've only read the first book, but I loved it.

Oh, and Natirasha, how is that Magic: the Gathering game coming?

And on a final note, does anyone think that a game based on "the Dark Tower" series by Stephen King could ever be made?

Serums & Steel is pretty much ready, but I'm going to run Sleepwalker first so I can run all three MtG games in a row.
