Question [CYNMG] Choose Your Next Mafia Game(s) - Nov/Dec 2018

[VERTi60]

Hello, as discussed in our last game, we've come up with suggestions for next games. You can vote multiple games at once since we're not sure which game will run when, but most likely the game with most votes will take priority. Please note that some games will take more time to set up, so even if they get enough votes they may not be hosted first but right after that. If you vote for more games it will also help GMs to plan ahead and if there is enough interest they will prepare the game for later.

If you want to host a game of your own (Hydra Option), post and it will be added to the poll later.

Here are the choices in more details (GMs feel free to edit your game description later).

 

1. Un-themed CYOR IV (Choose Your Own Role) Mafia

For those of you who are new to Choose Your Own Role style mafia games, here’s a short explanation: at its core, CYOR is a standard mafia game. Town attempts to eliminate all hostile elements (mafia and third party). Mafia attempts to eliminate players and outnumber the other factions. The third party has specific win conditions based on their role, and the neutral faction is similar; neutral faction players, however, are not considered hostile.

Wow, popular demand. I added a sign-up thread just now since CYORs need a minimum of 10 days to allow for role creation and balancing.

[VERTi60]

Alright sounds good.

I'd like to have another go at CYOR IV and, if possible, afterwards have a good old APB game again.

So as mentioned in last mafia game, the next RA: APB will be based on naval warfare, to follow up on the newest naval update in RA: APB.

The game will have new "battleships" game mechanic, where instead of attacking players directly you will have to guess where they are on naval map. There will be some new additions in mafia voting patterns as well but otherwise it will be similar to previous APB games. As for available units in game, this time it will be just naval/air/buildings (allies will be either gunboat/destroyer/cruiser).

 

If everyone is ok with this idea, I'll host a game thread when I'll have some more information regarding game mechanics. Game can start whenever we'll get enough players (7 for a short minimal game, but 10-12 for a optimal experience would be great). Let me know if you want to sign up for such a game here so I know for how many players I should balance the game and when are everyone available to play.

If you have other mafia ideas or want to host a game before this one let me know so I can open up voting, otherwise we'll have the APB and then Orange's Pokemafia following next.

Is it battleship with teams or is there something to make this actual mafia as well (beyond nightkills)?

It’s probably something like a small Allied fleet has gained access to our communications and are attacking a naval base. So the Allies have access to the the main thread along with the standard Mafia doc.

Also, I’m interested.

Standard mafia mechanics will remain the same as in every other RA: APB Mafia game (such as voting and actions for battle/plan phases), we'll just have additional battleship mechanics (e.g. for ##shoot action coordinates will be used instead of attacking directly plus some other additions).

Yea pretty much Allies will have their allied doc just like always.

Seems like the game will be more than fitting

Expect sign up thread for b0tes this Friday at latest, with the game starting next week or when we get enough sign ups.
