People who would like to lend their artistic talents to writing death notes:
...

Before the game starts:

You should make two posts in the "roles" thread. One that says "I am mafia" and another that says "I am townie". This should only take up 2 minutes of your time...

When the game is about the start I will give you a rep comment for that thread (don't worry, a positive one) on the post that describes your role. Right before the game starts I'll ask a moderator to delete the thread, so you should memorize your role. I won't confirm or deny anything in a PM.

If there are any moderators or admins playing during the game they'll be given their role through PM.

During the game:

- Twice as many townies as there are mafia.

- If you'd prefer not to have a special role during the game but just be rolled for mafia/townie let me know in private, by PM before the game starts.

- Townies vote during the daytime, in public, on a poll. You only get one vote and it is final and unchangeable. You can, and probably should, state who you're going to vote for sooner but I won't accept votes in the thread.

- Mafia vote at night on a secret forum. I don't care how they do it or how they get me the result. They can organize their crime however they want.

- The game ends when one side is mathematically unable to win. This doesn't necesarily have to mean when the mafia are in the advantage: the doctor can even the odds (but unfortunately can't protect him/herself).

- I'll make a duplicate account on the forum which only the mafia get to use. They can use it to anonymously post in the game threads. Kind of like a "voice of the people" with the guarantee that no spectators or townies are going to be using.

- That's it. You're welcome to play however you like.

Hello!

I want to give this narration thing a try. I endeavor to automate things as much as possible and keep my own involvement to a minimum. My concern is with there being maximum freedom for people to play in any creative way they want.

Oso is okay with it.

If you feel like playing, or you'd like to write some death notes, post in this thread and I'll add your name to the list.

You'd have to be able to log in once every day to make a vote in case you're mafia - once every two days in case you're townie.


Damnit I have to try them all now, put me down for stuff, all of it

I'd like to, if it's not run concurrently with the other one.

Mafia 404 Penetration? Did Limey break something?

Oso is okay with it.

I'd totally be up for it. I suggested it and I think the 3.1 signup list should just be transferred over unless people specifically object. Yeah?

This game is kinda synonymous with the development of MS Windows.
Will V4 offer networking support?

That's fine by me, Oso. I just can't do two at a time. I'm monogamous like that.

Count me in, so long as I have internet connection, of course.

You're going to have to reiterate your rules once more, because I'm dumb, but yeah, I'd say I'm in.

Great :)

I'll write the rules in the first post. If you'd like me to clarify them, or you disagree with them, let me know. I'd also need for you to cooperate by posting certain things a few times over the next days but it won't take up much of your time.

If you're playing make two posts in this thread. One going "I am a townie" and the other going "I am in the mafia".

Oh, good, two posts is always better than one.
But before I make them, do you have any idea when will we be starting?

ApeTheDog

Oh, right. I'd like to be done with the preparations by friday and start during the weekend.

Ok. So, this is my "I'm a townie" post.

LastRailway

And that's my "I'm in the Mafia".

BTW, you can avoid people repping the posts and add to the confusion, sign your reps with a sort of secret code, or name or something and reveal it in the day when the game starts.

I am a townie.

I am in the fucking mafia and I will bite your face off and spit it into hell.

Good idea, but I discovered you can hover your mouse over the link and it'll verify the number of the post, which means it can be used for screenshotting purposes. That's why I plan to have this thread deleted before the game starts. It's a more thorough solution.

It doesn't look like we'll be doing this, perhaps three is the magic number. In one the townies won, in the other the mafia and in the third nobody. Good conclusion.

Maybe people are just skeptical of your new system. I know I am (but I'm willing to try it anyway).

"That's it. You're welcome to play however you like."

In a winning-losing game like this, you really need rules, otherwise you just destroy structure. I know you have guidelines, but the clear-cut rules with consequences in the original game seemed more appealing to me.

That's just my opinion. I could be wrong; perhaps Mafia just died because of certain events that took place last game. If that's the case, then I'm sad. :mellow:
