Theme Test Market

[Iammars]

Oh yeah!

And, anyone intrested in a Merit Badge Mafia?

[Iammars]

Would anyone be intrested in a Rookie mafia, a theme game based on people who have been on the site for a year or less?

I'm contemplating a 'Spammer Mafia'. Basically, the idea is that players don't have any specific role to their character (other than mafia/town, and the mafia still have standard mafia powers). However, every night a player is given a night action depending on how much they've posted - the more, the more powerful. I'd utilize a hidden mechanic to determine what sort of action the person gets - so I can do things like count 'I'm here, reading the thread' posts for less and content-ful posts for more.

Obviously, this is intended to encourage a fairly fast-moving game.... thoughts? Would you play this? Do you think it could work?

thats fn awesome

Yeah, but hopefully posts with content will count more than your 15 posts at a time...

[Iammars]

what about....what about....a YTMND mafia? i'm thinking about making one...

Huh?

[Iammars]

...that said, the game may be overly prone to encouraging lurky behaviour. Obviously, due to the game's fundamental mechanics, the result of any deadlines would be No Lynch, Lights Out. Maybe, seeing as we're talking multiple lynches per day, a constant week's deadline (starting at the time of the most recent lynch) would be appropriate.

Except that nobody seems to like the mechanic.

I like that idea

a lot

. If you have a plain (mafia+townies) set-up, the town have little to gain from a night, so forcing them constantly to lynch on pain of losing a townie would definitely keep the momentum of the game up.

They do have

something

to gain from Night, information-wise, in that the roles of the dead aren't revealed until night falls - this is the fundamental dilemma of the game.

Anyway, that's enough battering-out of a setup - what's the procedure for a large theme game? It's Free Market, right - does that mean there isn't a queue?

Nope, just as long as you have the modding credintials, have your setup-reviewed by someone, and appoint a comod, Phebous will give you the mod powers. And if you need a co-mod, just ask. I've been in that buisness lately.

We have lift-off, then. I'll have to wait for my mini to finish first, which will give me time to prepare the flavour (why did I have the genius idea of writing all linking scenes in rhyming couplets in iambic pentameter? can't just hack

them

out in ten minutes...) and write up the brand-spanking new ruleset.

I prefer traditional ballad form. Much easier.

[Iammars]

Thanks so much for helping me decide.

And its not amnesia, but a company that erases people from memories.

Ooh! Ooh!

[Iammars]

I do around 14, as you will need to find 14 different players, which isn't too easy.

[Iammars]

has anyone ever done a communist mafia? i have a mini written now, that im hoping to eventually expand into a theme. (also looking for someone to look over setup/maybe co-mod)

Kind of, there's a GL game based on We didn't start the Fire I think, and it has communists as scum.

Which Pooky totally ripped off of me (even thought there is a different scum)

[Iammars]

I'm deciding on what theme game to run when I come back. Which sounds better?
-We Didn't Start the Fire, Large Edition (You can look at the other game for help, but it won't be much! (Other than proving how crazy I'm willing to make the setup appear.)) 25 people
-Unusual Role Mafia (The game that MeMe told me not to run as a mini!) 15 people
-Yet Another Scummer Game (Mostly people who haven't been in a scummer game before, and a lot of people from when I was in my glory days.) 25 people
-Perodic Table Mafia (Do I really need to give a description?) 25 people
-Weasel Mafia (Dilbert v. the corporate weasels. Who will win?) 20 people
-Animorphs Mafia (Thanks to AniX and MoS) 20 people

I need to know soon so I can get the preperations done. I have a tendency to write a lot of flavor text. (You should see what I have done so far for Cruise Ship Mafia!)

[Iammars]

Yet Another Scummer Game (Mostly people who haven't been in a scummer game before, and a lot of people from when I was in my glory days.) 25 people

If you run this we will eventually have enough roles to be able to run Meta Meta Mafia, where the roles are Mafia Games that had Mafia games/players/avatars/sites as roles.

Hmmm...

*runs to write down an idea for a mini game*

LIGHTING EDIT: And I would have two of those games.

[Iammars]

Cruise Ship is basically 25 somewhat random people (some having ties before coming onto the ship) and a lot of flavor text. Sort of like Bizzare Mafia. Any more and it'll have to go to PM.

[Iammars]

Start of the school year please. I wanna join this time.

[Iammars]

Just curious, how many of us are out there?

[Iammars]

I would love to play that.

Pre-game claim: I'm Dampen Thought. (Go to MTGS to see why.)

[Iammars]

I've got awhile to go before I could mod a game here, but I had a theme based idea. I called it

Serial Killer Mafia

. It would be based on horror movie characters such as Freddy, Jason, and Michael Myers and their rivals (Nancy and Jamie Lee's character). I thought about this more as serial killers obviously, but my one problem is how to not have the SK's each do a kill each night. I have a doctor and sheriff. The thought that the if the SK's target their rivals the rivals won't die. What I mean is Freddy can't kill Nancy, but Jason could. The town wins if the serial killers are dead. The SK wins if he is the last one standing.
Any thoughts or opinions would be apprieciated.

One of MoS's clue mafia's had a lot of SKs. Plus if you want ot go back a lot, StrykkerVerde (sp?) had an SK mafia. It wouldn't be the first time, but there's still a lot of room in it.
