Mafia - Pokemon Edition (Question for next round. Please answer!)

[Del Murder]

This will be starting again soon. Please pm myself or Miriel if you want to play. In the pm please tell us the following things:

1. If you are willing to share an account, and if so tell us if you have a preference on who to share with.

2. Whether you would rather be citizen or mafia, or it doesn't matter.


The GAME

ROLES

The following roles from this page are all fair game:

Roles - MafiaWiki

The only ones that for sure will not be used are the stupid roles (use your best judgement). Read carefully through the page because we plan to mix it up this round. This won't be your standard vanilla Mafia game.

RULES

The main rule change for this version of the game is that all discussion must take place in the designated mafia thread.

This means that unless your role specifically allows you to do so, you cannot:

1. PM/IM/Email/call/etc each other and strategize about the game.
2. Reveal your role (mafia, citizen, or otherwise) to any other player.
3. Ask other players to vote with you, against you, whatever.
4. Or any other shenanigans.

The penalty for outside discussion will be:

1. Death from the mafia game.
2. Banishment from all further mafia games.
3. Six month user note ban.
4. Death. From life.

Oh man, Lekana and Jojee would hate this one.

[Jessweeee♪]

Whoa...second mafia...that's insane!


Question about rule 2:

Are we alowed to post in the mafia thread and say things like ZOMG DON'T KILL ME I'MA DOCTAH!

EDIT:

James Bond with Extreme Jaw Ache is my new favorite role

I'd have to ask you to reconsider, because I believe discussion using Mafia persona in PMs can add a very nice twist to the game. If I'm Pikachu and I PM Charzard using my Pikachu account saying that I am the doctor and we should team up, it's up to Charzard whether to trust me and up to myself (stupidity or otherwise) whether to decide to trust him enough to PM him in the first place. It is also within my power to lie to him, if I am actually Mafia, and simply say I am the doctor and lead him astray if he believes me. I think this will make the game much more interesting and there will be even more paranoia all around.

Of course, we would not be revealing in these PMs who we are outside of the game. I understand your reservations about discussing the game with instant messengers or using other forms of communication, but as long as we are playing our Mafia character I believe that communicating with each other should be allowed.

[Rengori]

Joy, you wouldn't be Pikachu, PG would.

[Jojee]

It's hypothetical, you doofusface ! I have not yet decided if I am joining.

[Rengori]

Hypothetical or not, PG is Pikachu.

Way to take half the fun out of the game. Is it our fault that the mafia got their asses kicked last time? Maybe they should try PMing people and playing the role of the citizen with outside thread interaction.

This sounds like it sucks and isn't gonna be too much fun playing. If someone wants to reveal their role then let them. It is part of the game and people still have to guess if they are telling the truth. We had people tell the truth, lie and didn't fully know their role when they revealed it(Jojee, Cinderella and Dale). It was all strategic in nature and made it more interesting. Don't kill the fun. Let people play the game how they want. If one side wins to fast then the other side sucks and doesn't know how to manipulate people or how to hide their true roles and motives.

[Sergeant Hartman]

Back to basics.

[scrumpleberry]

YAY!

[Levian]

So much for trying before saying it sucks, eh? I think perhaps some of you may have misunderstood the rules a little. From what I got out of it, you can still reveal your role or ask people to vote with you, you just have to do it publicly in the Mafia thread, which opens for new ways to lay your strategy. Not much different the from last time, except there's just no talking outside the thread, which could be interesting. I'm willing to at least test it out, and so should you(!), and then for the next Mafia game we can pick whichever method proved to be the best. Let's have fun imho.

id be warturtle with squirtle's glasses .. ah the good ole days

[Raebus]

I like the fact that this has practically killed lekana and Jojee's tactics, very much so.

[KentaRawr!]

I'd say the fact that dumb rules are there increases the realism of the mafia. Why, revealing our roles to one another will be like smuggling drugs for money!
