Ok, a quick question.

Let's say there's this game with 24 players. Can the 24 players be split into two 12-man groups and run sub-games within the game? (both sub-games influence the larger game.) Is that like, legal?

Is that clear enough?

Hmmm... sounds close to something I might be doing later... but at the same time, not.

Sometime in the far-flung future, I'd like to mod an Ender's Game mafia. Think that would go over well?

I'd say so. I haven't read the books but I know there are quite a few people who have read the books on this site.

quadz are you saying in terms of popularity? because if so, then like Seraphim said, it'd probably be a hit.

but if you're talking about in terms of story/character alignment/mechanics, idk. you'd have you expound a bit.

YOU CONFUSE ME.

Let's just say that I accept your pre-/in, and call it square. Mmk?


Mmk.

IMO it'd just be a mod nightmare, making things more confuddling (heh) than they already are. That's the reason FoS/HoS/BFMFHoMFS were invented.

AHAHAHAHA, Mafia Science Theater 3000? OH BOY!

*waits*

No, but I knew you were. I still think your avatar is one of the top 10 on the site. lol

Just wanted to poke my head in to complain about what a pain large theme games are to create.

Especially when there is no pre-existing flavor. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! *shakes fist*

[ReaperCharlie]

So, I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in pop music mafia?

There will be one twist. Each player would have a role-wise ability (called "consequence" for now) that coincides with their charachter.

The quickest Example I can think of that isn't a role already in my head:

You are Lady Gaga [Role] [Explanation].

Consequence: ["Bad Romance", Active]: Give me the name of two people (you may not include yourself) whenever you want to use this ability. For the rest of the game, they are lovers (they still keep their previous roles). They will not be told about such.

Theme's been done already, but if you can think up enough interesting mechanics for each specific role...

I could see it being good.

If only I knew how to make Phoenix Wright theme games Mafiascum style, I could somehow plan it vey soon. Might someone be kind to link the game here or by PM? might look over it for fun.

There may be more, but those are the recent two.

Has Team Fortress 2 Mafia been run on here yet? If not, TheLonging and I were planning on calling dibs and -possibly- getting it up and running withing the next few months-ish. At the very least, we're considering a pick-your-class style game. Not sure if we're going to do pick-your-side as well.

Pre-post-edit: Google tells me Far_Cry was working on this back in September. Still interested in that?

I would love to help with this.

You should make it a TF2 R63 mafia!

[ReaperCharlie]

Do NOT take any ideas from the version that was run over at MTGS.

The spy worked like this - pro town role, kills a player IF THEY TAKE A NIGHT ACTION.

Vig that doesn't kill vanillas..

Theirs didn't have a R63 variant... did it? 0_o

[ReaperCharlie]

I just thought of a great theme: Disney Princess Mafia!!! Posting here to officially copyright the idea as mine, all mine, and if anyone else uses it I'm taking them to court.

*cough*





*makes a call to Aladdin Bail Bonds in advance*
