Mafia - Game Over!

[Shauna]

If he did get lynched, you'd be gone the next time round. xD But, I guess two less citizens is a win! :P

[Miriel]

I think Levia is all tuckered out from this round of Mafia. Next one might not immediately follow this one.

Someone else do it, then, I wanna play noooouuuu!!!!!!

*tantrum*

Plus, Levia has some new stuff planned for the next round. I think it'll be worth the wait.

Levian runs this game. We do what he says when he says.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Alright now can you all PLEASE give me some credit for pretty much almost winning the game single-handedly...sort of. I was so indignant that I got constantly accused all the time, and was one of the few players to instigate lynchings against the first bout of the Mafiosa. Now perhaps you all see that I truly had all your best interests in mind.

But man. All I wanted was for Maxx to get lynched. One last hurrah from me. I came close, though.

Close, but no cigar pet. What can I say; don't mess with the Cap'n

For those who care here are my top rules for playing Mafia, gained from years of experience.

1 - Try to keep as quiet as possible. Whatever you do don't over analyse; if you're a citizen or Mafia it's a surefire way to get noticed, hence why I immediately homed in on foa due to her lengthy exposition.
2 - Respond directly to accusations against you, but be as neutral as possible. If the person accusing you hasn't been voted for or you haven't voted for them resist the temptation to point out why they are Mafia. Players will see this as an attempt by you to divert attention from yourself.
3 - Always have a reason for selecting a person, even if it's something benign like "they're not saying much". Having any reason to lynch someone is better than having none; it reduces suspicion against you and makes it more likely you'll score a decent hit
4 - Observe as much as possible. With something such as this it was even easier than normal Mafia playing since I could go back over everything that had been said. Be on the look out for patterns of voting between different people, behaviour that seems designed to be overly innocent (remember the silence rule if you want to avoid this being placed on you) or over analytical people
5 - If you play well enough eventually you'll be made a target. You have little choice over whether or not you're killed during the night. If you do get targetted and the votes are going against you, remind the remaining players that your death will prove you're a citizen, and that anyone who voted for you is most likely a Mafia
6 - Be semi-serious and try not to goof about too much. A common Mafia tactic is to appear friendly and playful, thusly reducing suspicion on them. Long-term players usually pick up on this, but the same scenario can work against you if you try to be friendly. Be distant, but be involved.
7 - Trust absolutely no one. Assume EVERYONE is Mafia until proven otherwise. No pacts, promises, whispered secrets, cabals, passed notes or anything that seems to be working in your favour should be taken as such. Just because a favour is passed your way doesn't mean you have to pay it back. True citizens won't be non-plussed by not being "saved" by a player they helped since the role of citizens is to root out the Mafia, not save each other's hides, especially since it's impossible for citizens to know who each other are. The Mafia, naturally, do not have this disability, hence why protection pacts tend to pop up amongst them more often (note my point about observing).

There's also a whole bunch of poker-face-esque tricks that don't really apply here since we're not talking and we can't see each other talking.

[Freya]

Yeah me and the Sergeant had a msn convo clearing you maxx. we thought long and hard.. okay it was more like, foa is suspicious. yeah but maxx is a little too, well he's a captain, yeah lets go for foa. OKAY!

[Del Murder]

EDIT: Also, someone needs to make me a sexy Mafia Mama sig/av combo. Cause I'm hot.

Like this one?

[Psychotic]

Try to keep as quiet as possible.

Always have a reason for selecting a person, even if it's something benign like "they're not saying much"

[Del Murder]

Also, I forgot to say congrats to all of us citizens on the win! foa did a damn fine job though.

[fire_of_avalon]

Haha, I was thinking something a little more Vito and a little less Sonny, but something like that.

Also, congratulations for getting me!

[Levian]

Also an applaud to our evil masters, the mafia: Jessweeee, foa, Old Manus, DK and KH-Cloudy! Here's the mafia discussion forum if anyone should be interested: Mafiaz It started up on Day 3, so it's not complete.

Been a nice round all, and I hope to see you for the next round of Mafia. Which is pretty much already planned out.


Now I want yer all opinions of this game, so if you would plz fill out these questions, so the next round can be even better:

• 1. What could've been done better? Is 24 hours for Days ok? How long should nights last? How many players? Voting? etc?
• 2. What worked well?
• 3. When should the next round of Mafia start up?
• 4. Anything else?

I'm thinking at least 2 weeks, maybe a month, for the third question. It's a fun game, but wouldn't want the players to get tired of it.

[Loony BoB]

First of all *claps* This was awesome to watch as an almost-full-time spectator.

I think I've already given all the thoughts I've had throughout the thread. As for how soon... at least a month, I'd say. Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen.

[Old Manus]

1 - Try to keep as quiet as possible.

*insert about 1000 words of text*

[Loony BoB]

Yeah, I was a bit confused after reading that, too. xD

[Captain Maxx Power]

First of all that was an explanation about the game. Since the game is over I'm not going to follow my own rules right now am I guys? Use a bit of sense would ya? :rolleyes2 Secondly I said to keep as quiet as possible. Not saying a word is out of the question, but don't go overboard like foa did, which in this case was probably the thing that got her killed off. Generally speaking I tried to keep my chatter down to lynch voting /w explanation, rebuttals against accusations directed at me and general silly comments during the Night phase

Also I'm having a blast reading through the Mafia forum. You REALLY had it out for me and Radje! :O For the record is there a reason why I wasn't targeted for a night-time killing? What was the logic behind the killings?

btw:

gawd the teeth = foa
Drugis = DK
Kikazu = KH-Cloudy
Judith = Old Manus
Elizabeth Hornswoggle = me

The Mafia forum was invisible to guests and regular members, but I've made it visible to all.
