    Default Roster for Upcoming Mafia Games

    Based on a conversation from this thread:

    Hence, this thread. If you are planning on modding a Mafia game in the near future, book a place in the list. It'll help keep things civilised.*

    (*As in, keep things civilised with the mods. The players, well, you're on your own with that one.)

    Upcoming Mafia games by poster:
    1) Prescription, by Vox Imperatoris (post 9)
    2) Allwalker: Orbs of Power (Smallish, shortish: 12 players, 3-6 Days, 1 week Days)
    3) Pox Panic, by Julie (post 11, details pending)
    4) Last Man Standing (Feat. Lucifer & Darth Sensitive)
    5) Screamers, 24 (21 if necessary) by pedescribe

    Previous Mafia games

    Something tells me we haven't seen the last of foreshadowing.

    [modhat:znvz6a4w]As the roster updates, contact one of the Board mods and we will update the first post. At least five of us are gamers so please PM myself, NAF1138, CatInASuit , Caerie or Sublight[/modhat:znvz6a4w]

    As an example, I just merged Lucifer's post into the first.

    I don't think I should be first on the roster, given that I just had a game (although it was a very short one) and that Julie has a lot more sign-ups than people who have expressed interest in mine.

    Of course. I didn't include Pod People because there are sign-ups already underway. Though linking to it from the OP makes sense.

    This could work as a suspense builder - I am intrigued by this "Last Man Standing" game.

    I added a new category to separate the upcoming games from the currently running ones. This can also be used to post updates about new Days/Nights, finished games, etc.

    Would people be willing to give a bit more detail to the games they are wanting to run and maybe their projected timetables, so that bystanders can see which ones they want to aim for? Or is that a pain?

    Give us the info, and we'll add it to the top post.

    I'm leaning towards going with the Roman-themed Proscription! game idea I posted before:

    The other option is a Roman-themed Lights Out Mafia game with three factions, a Triumvirate, and no real town that I played before on another board. Lights Out still has voting, but you can lynch as many people as you want before you vote for "lights out". You then find out all the roles in the morning. In this version, you vote to put people on a "proscription" list, and they are ejected from the Curia when they're added. However, you can also vote to let them back in again before the list is published at night. Once you publish it, all those people die.

    The factions are the Optimates, the Populares, and the Plutocrats. Each faction (they were four members each in the one I hosted before) has in it one member of the Triumvirate, who work like a mafia and kill at night. Each also has a special power: in the other version, the Optimates could use their superior connections to determine the role of a player (faction and Triumvirate status), the Populares could call on the people to protect a chosen person from attack at night, and the Plutocrats could buy a vote (either linking it to the vote of a chosen person or making them vote for a specific person). The factions win when they kill everybody else and get rid of their Triumvirate member, and the Triumvirate wins when they kill everyone else.

    Vox, that sounds intriguing and complex.

    I'm working on the design of a new game, tentatively called "Pox Panic."

    I seem to have a fondness for alliterative names.

    I will happily move down a few slots to accommodate others who want in.

    I would like to try playing a Mafia game as long as its ok that I've never played before.

    Hey, big ben.

    Just sign up in a sign up thread and mention it's your first game. The mod should be able to tell you if the game is completely wrong for newcomers.

    Oh, and be sure to check out the Dope, Giraffe, and (especially) Idlemafia.com for other upcoming games. I think the next one starting on Idlemafia is explicitly not newbie friendly, but there will be others.

    Welcome to the fold.

    My Orbs of Power game will be n00b friendly... if you can wait that long.

    Just testing the water here, but would anyone be interested in playing a Mafia game based on Pokemon (the original 151, none of this new-fangled stuff)? I mentioned it over at the Dope, and there seems to be a few people interested. I wrote the setup as something to keep me amused for a few hours rather than something I would actually mod, but if people were interested I would go ahead with it.

    As a note, it would be fairly advanced as well as dripping with game colour so the ideal players would know at least a bit of Pokemon and a lot of Mafia. But it should be fun for all concerned.

    Huh, is interest in mafia dying off over here?

    Well if anyone is interested in a mini game that is starting on www.idlemafia.com

    It's a 12 person game and a bit different than your typical mafia game. It should go by a lot faster also since it's a mini. If anyone is interested signups are here:
