Theme Test Market

[Mastermind of Sin]

didn't read through all the pages, so I don't know if it's been done before, but I was thinking of these themes:

Magic: The Gathering
Half-Life
OS Mafia
Oreo Mafia
Super Smash Brothers Mafia
Gaming Platform Mafia
School Mafia(Two Mafia groups:Administration and the Gangs; Students are townies; a mason group of nerds; some teachers with abilities...)
George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire"

more to come...

[Mastermind of Sin]

anyone have any comments to make on my ideas? If someone has a theme they think they'd like to run, feel free to ask me...although I think DarkLight140 already says he wants to do the George R.R. Martin one as a theme game...

[Mastermind of Sin]

k00l, thnx for the input...

[Mastermind of Sin]

i had another idea I wanted to call, but I forgot what it was...

I know video games have been done quite a bit, but I've got some ideas for a

Super Smash Bros. Melee

mafia. If it has been done before, let me know. If there is a mod out there who doesn't want to participate, but wouldn't mind helping me out to make sure I'm not going overboard with the roles, I'd be much obliged. Kind of curious if people would be interested. PM me and I'll save you a spot.

I claimed that theme a while back, CA.

[Mastermind of Sin]

yeah, but I was thinking maybe you and I could co-mod it. I'm working on another game at the moment, so it would be nice to have a partner on this one. Perhaps we could run a super smash theme mini, and then subsequently run a smash bros. melee as a large themed game?

[Mastermind of Sin]

also, I'd like to claim Wheel of Time mafia if it isn't already taken. I've got half the setup done now.

And I'll claim Belgariad and Mallorean mafia for the future.

[Mastermind of Sin]

might as well make an official claim here.

claiming the first Upick mafia

claiming Wheel of Time mafia

[Mastermind of Sin]

I would like to claim ScumChat mafia, mafia where the roles are based off frequent scumchat goers. I plan to run it after my UPick mafia is done.

[Mastermind of Sin]

I'm too lazy to type up my inspiration, so here's a copy from scumchat.

jhawk01B: I have a really good idea
jhawk01B: make two games, like in dichotomafia
jhawk01B: half the players are in one tribe
jhawk01B: half in another
jhawk01B: in one game
jhawk01B: one tribe has the majority
jhawk01B: in the other game
jhawk01B: the other tribe has majority
jhawk01B: and everyone knows who the people from their tribe in the other game is
jhawk01B: and whenever a lynch is reached
jhawk01B: whichever tribe that person was from
jhawk01B: everyone in that tribe from the game votes someone out from their own tribe in the other game
jhawk01B: privately, of course
jhawk01B: or you don't even have to do a majority, minority thing
jhawk01B: make them even in both games
jhawk01B: sorta like I bet civil war mafia was close to even
jhawk01B: anyways
jhawk01B: I'm claiming that concept

[Mastermind of Sin]

yeah, pre-/in for scumchat mini!

oh crap, i'm still in two themes. I guess I better stop defending myself in espionage so I can join a new game Their loss, my gain

[Mastermind of Sin]

I hope I am posting this in the right place.

I have an idea for a "Dream Team" Mafia where self-selected Mafia teams would have to submit applications detailing a plan of action. A "jury of peers" consisting of myself (ah just kidding) or (rather) a few people would review the plans, and select the best mafia team/strategy to be the "Dream Team" Mafia.

No slacker scum, no scum "winging it."

Uber-devious scum. La scum de la scum.

Other than that, it should run with standard Townie roles.

So, wouldn't the town just keep lynching the most experienced players, since they are the most likely ones to come up with a really good plan?

[Mastermind of Sin]

Indeed that's why there are 2 docs, and basically 4 cops. Until a player who was a cop is lynched, you won't be able to trust their investigations. The fact that at the beginning of the night the roles change randomly also means that the mafia will have a hard time killing the powerroles. (There's one vig because I don't want the mafia go randomly get 2 vigs and Pwn the town).

There could also be a SK if the lack of night kills makes it too hard for the mafia (it will be hard for them to hit power roles.)

Do you think it would be a fun game to play? Too long of nights? Too hard for town? Mafia? Should there be a SK?

I like this idea, but I think I know of a way to break the setup. I still think you should run it, because I wanna try and break it .

[Mastermind of Sin]

Time Zone mafia has now been claimed by me . To be run after I finish my current games.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Macros, talk to Ibby/PJ/Pooky. They're already working on that game, and they claimed it a long time ago. They just had to wait while Ibby was AWOL before they started. I'd make sure they're not working on it anymore before you try to run a game.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Yea, that's how I felt. You should make sure they're still working on it, though, because my information might be out of date.

[Mastermind of Sin]

I'm looking for some people willing to bounce around setup ideas for a game I'm working on. It's tentatively called

Seduction City

, and the idea is that most everyone in the game is a roleblocker. There are some special roles and such based around this, but it's a new take on the "Texas Justice" and "NYPD" style games that have been run in the past with varying amounts of success. PM me if interested in helping out.

Would anyone be interested in How I Met Your Mother mafia? Probably mini theme.

Hilariously enough, someone just ran a setup for that exact theme by me a couple weeks ago. I think they were planning to run it off-site, though, so you're probably ok.
