Most certainly want to pre /in for that one too.

No. Because I will seriously pursue the lynch of Tarhalindur. As you always should in a tar game.Even if there are other mods.

I'm thinking Nineteen Eighty-Four will be an open game.

All targets that players have had are revealed each day.
All night actions except BB's WinCon change are mandatory each night.
Prole wrote:You are a Prole. Each night, you may target a player. If they, too are a Prole, you will create a masonry.
Thought Police wrote:You are a member of the Thought Police. You may investigate a player each night. You will create a masonry with that player for the rest of the game.
The Press wrote:You are a Member of the Press. Each night, you may change who a player targeted in previous nights, and changing who they can talk to.
Inquisitor wrote:You are an Inquisitor. Each night, you may choose one player and see if they are which of the following: Oceania, Eastasia, Eurasia.
Big Brother wrote:You are Big Brother. Each night, you may choose a player and one of the following.
Eastasia, Eurasia.
You will change the win condition of all Oceanians to "You win when all (choice) members are dead."
Oh, and targeting a player stops them from whatever action they take that night.
Whore wrote:You are a Whore. Each night, you may target a player. That player will target and become a mason with you instead of whatever they were going to do.
Peacekeeper wrote:You are a Peacekeeper. Each night, you may target a player. If that player would make a masonry, they won't. In fact, they will be protected from nightkills and the person they target will die.
Win Conditions?
Oceanian WinCon: You win when all (Big Brother's Current Choice) are dead.
Eastasian/Eurasian WinCon: You win if you survive to the end of the game.
Brotherhood WinCon: You win when The Brotherhood consists of more of the town.
Gordon Freeman WinCon: You win when Big Brother is dead.
Resistance WinCon: You win when Oceanians are the minority.

That'll be almost two or three years based on the current queues.

And I'd like to mod a nice large Simarillion-themed game. Or two or three. Say, Leithian, Children of Hurin, and Fall of Gondolin, perhaps. Eventually, as has been pointed out (well, at least I'll have a while to make the setup nice and neat and balanced).

With two NKs, probably. I've also seen SKs that become a Mafia-style group if they target each other, but start out independent.
This, along with having read a massive amount of Sandman recently, gives me the idea of

SK convention


No idea of a particular setup, though.

Might work better on Marathon Day or Mish-Mash, though, since you can't really scumhunt individuals. I loved that scene in Sandman though, so I'd probably play a rapid-running version of it. Give everybody overlapping immunities/weaknesses/kill methods...

Mmm, how about if the Serial Killers are actually the uninformed majority? Give the Sandman a role. Maybe give Death a cameo appearance in flavor, that kinda thing. I'm definitely reserving this idea, the more I think the more I like.

Saving the idea for Wizard of Oz Mafia.

Will take place after WoT Mafia starts (most likely after it finishes), but I may change its beginning depending on certain circumstances...

Planning on doing a WW2 theme mafia. It will likely be awhile before it goes, since I need a bit more modding experience.

The gist is, it will be a very large game. There has been a second League of Nations founded, yet things are not as it seems. Several Countries are discontent with things and the rumors of war are abound.

Basically, the game takes place in the league of nations. Each day, everyone gets together, and votes to oust a player from power (each player is considered either a Nation Leader or supporter, although no one knows what each other's Nationality is) There will be several main nations, each having three players in a sort of Masonry, with different abilites based on history. (Expect KGB, Kamikaze bombers, Spies, and the Atomic Bomb to be some of the numerous abilities.) Each Nation may request an allaince with a player and their nation during the night, and several alliances can be formed ( Although there is a limit on the maximum number of alliance a nation may have) Expect there to be numerous rule changes to this game, moreso than in most theme games. Each game day will actually be a year instead of a day, with yearly news reports given by me at the beginning of each year. (After a brief skirmish with some German stormtroopers, _____, Josef Stalin, was killed. The United States and Japan entered into an alliance, and ______, A british spy, was found murdered deep in German terrritory.)

I am looking around for anyone who may be interested to co-mod this with me, to help flesh out ideas and go tune some game elements. I'd also like to see if anyone might be interested in playing sometime in the future.

Once eligible, I'd like to run an "Arrested Development" theme game.

Nat, your 1984 idea looks pretty interesting.. definitely different.

I am claiming
Mafia Theory Mafia
.

This is how it works:

Each player has a theory.
They must follow this theory.
Or they will be modkilled.

Hahaha, I've heard of this.
But a Mafia game? How would that work?
