Game - Mafia Interest?

Post by degenerasian »

Have any of you played Mafia before? You might have played a simpler version at parties known as Werewolf or "The Wolf Game".

The setup is basically that amongst the players are a majority of town dwellers (or "townies") and a minority of mafia (or "scum"). The town's objective is to figure out the identities of and kill all of the mafia in their midst, whereas the mafia's objective is to kill enough townies to eliminate their majority. Typically about 20% of the players are the mafia.

The catch is that while the mafia know who each other are and can talk freely in private, the townies can only talk publically in the thread and each one knows nothing more than their own role. This is what makes finding the mafia so exciting, as they will conspire to try and throw the townies off track.

The game is split into days. Every day the townies will vote to lynch someone, and by the end of the day the player with the most votes is lynched and their role revealed - they are then out of the game. However, if at any point during the day there is a voting majority for one person (e.g. 8 votes out of 14 people) the day will end immediately and they will be lynched. This is known as the 'hammer'.

After each day comes a night period, during which the mafia decide on an additional player to kill. They are removed from the game and the next day begins. Some special townies also have actions they may perform during the night - for example, the cop may investigate one player per night (and will be told if they are mafia or town) and the doctor may choose one player to protect from being killed that night. The identities of these players are not known by anyone other than the players themselves, which is good for them because otherwise they become clear targets for the mafia.

For our game a day will last 4 real days and a night will be 1 real day. If we could get 15 to 20 people it'll be fun I think! It'll also keep the forum active.

This is a good guide to follow if you end up playing: http://mafiawiki.notesmash.org/wiki/Main_Page" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you have any questions just ask here, I'm sure other people have similar questions.

bump

anymore interest/questions?

The first game will probably be pretty vanilla. A group of townies with some mafia mixed in between and few with special powers.

After a few years bumping again for interest.

It came to mind because I'm currently in a game.

It's the same just all in a thread.

Townsfolk dont know who each other are and can only communicate in this thread. The citizens of the town lynch one person per day. Mafia are amongst the townsfolk, know who each other are, can communicate in a separate channel and get one kill per night.
