Theme Test Market

[Oman]

I'd like to put a claim down on

Utopian Mafia

a mini based on the MMO Utopia.

The idea is to make the losing side more powerful while allowing the winning side to hold its own.

Not sure how the %'s would work, it could result in a clear win either side by that side getting the good odds.
There are three setups I'm deveolping:

1. The % of each powerrole increases as that side loses (i.e. the docs chance to protect increases as townies die)

2. Powerroles appear as that side loses (i.e. mafia are all goons and town are all vanillia at start)

3. Powerroles improve (rolename cop becomes cop, jailer becomes doc, tracker becomes vig)

If you'd be willing to discus this with me shoot me a PM I'd love to talk about it.

JD I don't remember or can find a psychic mafia style game. I like the idea a lot.

Also, I happen to LURRRVVVV Smalltown.

[Oman]

I love Nervous Mafia. Sounds like fun!

Would the PR be permanant or just until the votes went below breaking point.

[Oman]

This is different to Fire and Ice mafia right?

NOW CLAIMING MY OWN IDEA:

POPEMAKER

Edit: Pedants mean I need to explain the idea.

Kingmaker seems to comeout unbalance due to the reliance on a kingmaker. The popemaker idea is designed to alieviate this problem .I don't want to say too much due to the fact its closed.

BTW, I edited it in here to save extra posts.

[Oman]

However, he's put no description of what the game would be like as of this post, meaning he cannot claim it as per the rules for claiming an idea.

have a theme you want to run but aren't sure that anybody would be interested? Post it here, see what people think.

I see your point. You have read this thread too closely for me to argue.

[Oman]

Loser always makes me laugh.

I was thinking of doing one in a year or so called "Oman's Claim" or something where every role is something I've claimed (even when I've jokingly claimed Mafia)

[Oman]

Thought I'd done this but I haven't apparently.

Would like to claim/enquire about previous:

RPG Mafia

I give a list of stats and you allocate points to them, which will give you certain "class" or "class features".

Will be drawn from pretty much every RPG game I've ever played.

[Oman]

OBJECTION!

No seriously, and I'd only post in those Objection sites.

[Oman]

I remember Paranoia mafia being done I think.

But thats cool, its diverse you could do it again and again and again with different mechanics.

[Oman]

Nah Psychocide. I got to do Utopia Mafia first, then RPG Mafia.

[Oman]

Ummm....I don't think I have yet:

Claim Essential Liberties Mafia

Those who would give up essential liberties for little safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety

[Oman]

I've been playing around with the idea of

CCTV Mafia

, set in a hotel.

The Day phase runs as normal, but at the start of each day, the CCTV footage of the corridors is played. In game terms, a summary of who visited who's room the previous night is posted at the start of each day.

Of course, there would be factors which would effect the CCTV footage, but those are being kept secret!

Thoughts?

I like.

GL mole (11:28:59 PM): we should have an aussie govt mafia game
GL mole (11:31:00 PM): maybe it could be as insanely complicated
GL mole (11:31:05 PM): as the oval office mafia games
omanscum (11:31:06 PM): yes

[Oman]

An Adel game? Sign me up.

[Oman]

I support WITP mafia, how close will it be to the mishmash game in mechanics?

[Oman]

Yes!

Post the townie role PM in the early posts, so that no flavr from it will confirm a townie.

Also, mix up the roles, don't make bad guys bad and good guys good, mix it up. OR give the baddies fakeclaims.

[Oman]

Simple and to the point Glork.

[Oman]

I can't. To me the mark of a good theme game is not "O WOWZERS THIS ONE IS BASED ON FUTURAMA!" its "Hey, this introduces something that really changes the game for me." If I wanted to play cop+doc v. GF and MafRB, I'd play a mini normal.

[Oman]

Thats cool, many people just like to do it because its got a good theme. But I really can't say that any one motif is better than another

[Oman]

What if the corrupt cop could win with town or scum, but had to choose D2 or N2?

[Oman]

Dairy mafia

each player is a dairy product with an expiration date. The player dies once she has expired.
Once a dairy product is "opened" (by claiming a role) that player will expire in two game days.

Nice

[Oman]

Picnic at Hanging Rock Mafia

Day will end in 20 weeks, not before.

The idea is that no-one will sit through the whole thing.

Alternatively:

Clark and Dawe mafia

Everyone is a character being played by clark and dawe in one of their skits.

[Oman]

Has anyone tried a 7 player Smalltown? I was just pondering a Gilligan's Island Smalltown game. Seems swingy but plausible.

You might have to remove the SK from the setup. In fact you will.
