EOFF : Final Fantasy Murder Mystery Game ?
Had these idea for a couple of weeks, that maybe we could play a Final Fantasy themed Murder Mystery game for Halloween season ? All people wanting to play gets a random Final Fantasy character, with a random role, and the aim is to solve the mystery of the murder and work out who did it ?
Has anybody played the game Mafia ? That might be a fun way to do it.
In its simplest form, Mafia consists of two sides: the Mafia, and the Town. The Mafia's goal is to kill the innocents, while the Town's goal is to kill the Mafia.
At the beginning of the game, the Moderator will secretly send everyone their role. The Mafia will know each other, while (in the basic game) everyone else will only know their own role.
The game has two phases, the first of which is Day. During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when a player gets a majority of the votes, they are lynched. Their role is revealed by the Moderator, and it becomes Night.
During the Night, the thread is locked and no one can talk publicly. The Mafia, however, can speak to each other privately to plot strategy and decide who to murder before the next Day begins. In this way, they can silence members of the Town who are threats to them. At the end of the Night, the murder is carried out and another Day begins. In effect, the Town gets to kill someone, and then the Mafia gets to kill someone.
The game alternates between Day and Night until either the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have killed everyone else (or nothing can prevent the same).
Anybody who wants to play this, please pick a random number out of 20 and I'll PM your FF character and your Mafia role !
I was thinking that we could start this on Sat 22nd October !
- Mods if this is in the wrong place, please put it in the right section ! :jess:
