General Discussion & Mafia Ideas, Balancing, and Critiques

[killsdazombies]

The entire mafia I's meant to troll the fgos (linkcat specifically). Really, that's what this game is doing if you think about it

They did apply. They always applied. I was trying to get Sub out of his punishment.

I agree that they applied, and it was clear to me, but apparently it wasn't clear enough. This isn't a criticism of you or your mafia in any way, just trying to keep something like this from happening again.

[Linkcat]

Submachine is hereby banned from participating in or hosting any forum game in this section for two months, until November 23, 2016. This ruling is final.

[killsdazombies]

2 rule proposals:

1) If you request to be modkilled (maybe if you're modkilled at all?), you are banned for 1 mafia.
2) All standard mafia rules that apply in a given mafia must be included in the host's OP to ensure everyone understands which rules apply.

^ I agree with these btw, I hope they are taken seriously by the FGOs

[Linkcat]

It always bothers me when staff members don't reply to feedback in their feedback thread, and here I went and did it myself.

1) I do not intend to implement a system like this with the current state of mafia.
2) Something similar to this had already been planned, and will be in the next mafia.

What do yall think of a game where instead of voting for who to lynch, you vote for who to save? Make it so players can't vote for themselves and if there is a tie, voting happens again but you can only vote to save any of the people that just tied for the least amount of votes. The game would take longer, but it would be very interesting to play. I imagine this format could fit in to any mafia ruleset.

Save the cop.
All the time.
Every day.

So like
1. Mafia chooses a target for the night of the next day
2. people discuss who to save
3. if they save the nightkill for that night (chosen before the discussion) a random mafia member dies?
or
Civilians have superpowers to reveal and eliminate Mafia members (having both powers in the same person should require a day for each action and probably be a unique faceup ability, accidently elimininating a civilian results in effective death of both civilians or sth)
1. Mafia chooses a target for the night of the next day
2. people discuss who to save
3. Noone dies if the nightkill matches the majority vote

or
1. people discuss who to save
2. Mafia chooses a target
3. Mafia wins

[Linkcat]

1. During the Day, people vote for the lynch and whoever has the least votes is lynched.
2. During the Night, mafia Nightkills someone.

[Demagog]

Linkcat's interpretation is correct. Would it work for a mafia game?

[Linkcat]

It would definitely work for a mafia game and I would like to see someone try hosting it.

[Demagog]

You missed the part where I said ties for the least vote make voting continue but you can only vote on the players that tied. No RNG needed, unless people are voting so that it's tied every time with all remaining players that people are voting (or not) for.
