Event [Complete] RA:APB-themed Mafia game II

[VERTi60]

That's impossible. That vote was supposed to be a tie!

 

But on a serious note, whatever the method, I really just think we need some sort of system that discourages lurking and automatically removes inactive players. A penalty for not voting would hopefully drum up activity enough that the rule never actually matters, but it might discourage people from playing at all. Given the split vote, I'm fearful that the latter might be true. I believe you used a "content post" timer before and I think that worked fine. It might be a knee-jerk reaction, but I just want a game mechanic that either encourages active participation or discourages lurking.

 

In DS game and other RPG/Mafia we used to have a system where if the player doesn't do an action for an allocated time (I think it was 12hours on default), the player either lost a portion of HP (in case of RPG), or a penalty, or was given a warning upon collecting three was eliminated from the game via extra nightkill. I'm wondering how the forced voting will work.

I'd love one of those games tbh. I'd even volunteer to co-write one of those

[VERTi60]

Would be fun to co-host, we'll see how the interest is in Oct to run RPG

[ChopBam]

I voted against forced voting but I'd sign up anyway.

[Jeod]

I'm here for mafia. Where do I sign up for the next game(s)?

 

Also, if any of the experienced hosts have seen Death Note, that would be an excellent theme for a mafia game. Lots of role potential.

I've seen the anime series and the movie too and I agree it would be good role material, but the flavor knowledge would have to be somehow reworked as for people who know it it's too obvious and for people who don't would be in disadvantage.

Next game Mafia will be announced soon^TM

[FRAYDO]

I can see it now.

 

Everyone is L.

 

Night kills would be having someone's name written in the Death Note.

 

Ryuk is minding his own business.

 

[VERTi60]

Yea the concept of town would probably not work in that game and yea, everyone could be L via the Death Note

[Jeod]

The "town" would be the police department with specific roles as the special task force, with the way I'm envisioning it.

That's what the flavor of the game would dictate of course, but in reality we would all have to accept "free for all" scenario

[Jeod]

Of course. The game moderator would ultimately decide which roles are susceptible to the use of the Death Note and which are not. It would make for an extremely interesting game.
