Mafia XXI: History Edition Sign and Discussion Thread

Yeah, the roleblockers can only block actions. They can stop a cop from investigating and doctors from protecting, but can't really stop roles like a bulletproof from.... being bulletproof. It's a wasted use of a roleblock.

[Shattered Dreamer]

I find a lot of the time it depends on different variations in the rules. I think an EoFF mafia rule book wouldn't be a bad idea. I mean still let each individual decide the roles, theme, how many mafia, factions etc but house keeping issues like "Does not voting mean you automatically vote for yourself", "Should a majority vote be declared immediately when the last vote is cast or should players be ask to verify the majority". Mafia wikia & the mikeburnfire site are all well & good but, something like that on site here at EoFF, along with the basic roles on day phases, night phases & voting, would be great.

I think its up to each mod and applies to each game upon most decisions. Like the roleblock for example: Laddy considered it a night action after the death ergo it could be blocked as a night action. Dak on the other hand believed that he's dead, you can't block a dead person. Both had valid reasons for allowing or not allowing it.

And some mods aren't as active as others so like inactive votes and the like are harder to keep track of. If people would just post when they sign up for the game, you'd never need the rule. And the majority thing is called speed lynching, It's a tactic! Majority means day over, always, that's why you want to avoid speed lynching.

Guys, I just had some amazing ideas for a NEW TYPE OF MAFIA SCUM
call it mafia scum 2.0

I will be trying it out in the next game I host, but I would like to hear what people think about it. if you want to hear about it, leave me a vm and I will PM you, but you are sworn to secrecy until the game.

[Psychotic]

In my defense, how the hell does one roleblock somebody dead. That doesn't make any sense to me.

Well how can a dead person kill anyone?

Thematically, I like to imagine that Hannibal was being dragged to the noose and all of a sudden pulled out a gun, scanning the crowd for someone to unload a load of lead hatred into. Then all of a sudden this music plays



and he sees Catherine in the crowd. He tries to say something but she covers his lips with her fingers. Ssshhhh. And then they smurf and the vengeful townie leaves the world satisfied with not killing anyone 'cause it was amazing.

Also HC I'd just love to know your plans for Mafia 2.0.

[Jiro]

The vengeance kill happens at night as a formality - in literal terms it should happen just prior to the lynch. Which means it's still day time. Which means a roleblock attempt should not be able to happen as it is a night action. If we were to say alright the roleblock is a day time action too, then it should be witnessed by the crowd of people standing there. I'm under the impression that the actual function of the Prostitute is to sleep with someone so they forget to act. Sleeping with someone until they get hung doesn't sound very viable and in front of that crowd you would be witnessed and your role revealed.

[Psychotic]

Yes, but the song. I feel as though you did not listen to the song.

[Jiro]

There aren't any speakers on this computer. I will listen to the song when I get home. I am sure it makes your point very convincing.

[Madonna]

The song bit was horrible and detracted from an otherwise wonderful post. Thanks for ruining a great Psychotic moment, Psychotic.

[Jiro]

It didn't win me over.

[Psychotic]

Clearly you have never watched Top Gun. This means that your opinion on this matter and indeed all matters is irrelevant.

Also my name is Administrator Psychotic, and Hypoallergenic Cactuar's Mafia 2.0 is my favourite mafia game on the Citadel.

[Jiro]

Clearly you are correct but that doesn't mean I don't disagree with you.

[chionos]

Bah, well I just realized how this works. That after the game is over, you come back to this thread to post your thoughts. When the Mafia thread got locked I was crestfallen. I just sat there. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW PISSED I AM!

Yeah, this was a horrible game to be in for my first ever Mafia game. Especially being grouped with the Masons who I had no reason whatsoever to question. I became suspicious of JustyassholeIhateyouforeveryoubastardwhoreofagorilla the last day and a half, but I could only think that he was just playing stupid, not playing dirty.

There were a lot of roles going on that I wasn't prepared for. I read the wiki, but I just didn't expect nearly everyone to have a specific role and so many powers, geez. I expected 85% vanilla with just a splash of hidden power here and there, so when I found out the Alexander was bulletproof I thought, ok, so maybe one more power player out there, who is it? Boy was I wrong. I should have known that the 21st edition of the game wasn't going to be so vanilla, but I didn't. Shame on me. It's all my fault. No really, a more experienced player in my position would have discovered Justy, and led the town against Catherine like I wanted to do from the beginning. I was swayed by evil mafia bastards whereas someone better would not have been.

In the end, I blame HC. When he turned up townie, and Miller at that, the way I had organized the game in mind just fell apart. I lost all ability to know wth people were doing. Nothing made any sense any more. If that's how a person's supposed to play the game, then...I don't know...

I want to play again. Right now. Getting that first game out of the way, despite that first game being a terrible tragedy, or comedy, probably both, is necessary, now I want to really play.

[Freya]

I still don't get how Cathy was suspicious. You all have said "yeah cathy! I knew it!" But you have never explained nor gave any reason to why Cathy was suspicious xD

[Yar]

I'm sorry!! I really felt bad about betraying you guys. When I saw that my role was mafia mason I just thought to myself "wtf this is such a bad role"
