Mafia with a Twist 1: Title to be Revealed

Mafia with a Twist

is a series of games designed with a twist in mind. They are individual, one-shot games which will likely never be able to be duplicated again by anyone with knowledge of the game. Twists may be subtle, crazy, or perhaps even non-existent (itself being the twist!), but it is my hope that the game will be memorable.

Game Mechanic Expectations

This game has a strong possibility of being distinctly non-normal.

I reserve the right to be considered a “bastard mod” in this game.

If you are looking for a normal-ish game with flavor, then this game is not for you.

Please consider your ability to play the game to completion before signup.

The nature of the game may be such that replacing causes an undue strain on the game in a way more damaging than to typical games.

Games may be wildly unbalanced.

I have tried my very best to make games as balanced as possible, but due to the nature of each twist, that may not always be possible. Some factions may have an easier or harder time of things in any given Mafia with a Twist game. If you are expecting perfect balance or dislike swinginess in games, then this game may not be for you.

Gameplay Expectations

Games will feature strict two-week day deadlines.

The circumstances under which this will be extended will be exceedingly rare. Lynches at deadline will be the single-highest vote-getter, with ties being broken under the longest-held-last-vote principle. I will be providing a link to my votecounting app so you should be able to obtain your own votecount at any given moment, but I expect to be posting regular votecounts so often that you will rarely (if ever) need to rely upon it.

I will be enforcing a “don’t be a jerk” rule.

I don’t expect to ever need to use it (and have come across very few instances where such a thing would be warranted), but we’re playing a game to have fun. Personal attacks which make the game unfun for players will be dealt with by warnings, or in extreme cases, forced replacement.

Signup Restrictions

Hydra accounts will not be accepted into this game.

No exceptions.

Players in this game should have a minimum of 2 completed games on this site before signing up for this game.

I strongly recommend having at least 5 games of experience under your belt before signing up. I reserve the right to waive this requirement, but I have zero expectation that I will do so.

Good luck.

How bastard are we talking?
On a scale of 0-Tarhalindur, please.

Somewhere in that range. I have a number of these games in mind, and some are simple twists with very little "out there", and some are very elaborate. I would love to be more specific than that, but I fear getting too specific may spoil too much. While I tend to prefer traditional games, I have designed a series (this being the first attempt in that series) that I think I would enjoy playing in. Your mileage may vary, of course. I'm not out to "get the players", so to speak, if that helps.

[Thesp]

/in for Thesps' Twist game if the minimum game requirement is waived.

(I just PM'ed you concerning experience on other sites)

After discussion via PM, MadCitrus's /in is accepted. Thanks!

As an aside, I will be out of town this weekend, but I

should

be able to carve out time to get Role PMs out and the game thread up if we fill this weekend. (All posts and PMs are typed, and I already have a Python script ready to go which will prep everything for me.)

[Thesp]

My apologies, but hydras are not allowed in this game. I hope both of you want to join, though!

[Thesp]

I believe that fills it! Game will go up and PMs will go out after Equinox confirms and I wake up, so likely in the morning.
