RPG Mafia Thread V (Current Game: Magical Mahjong Mafia)

I guess I'm still the only one who thinks writing up role PMs and figuring out the game I want to run beforehand is A Cool Thing To Do.

What kind of nerd PREPARES for their game?

Spoiler:

Dormio.

That's what kind. Do you want to be Dormio, Bard?

It's okay Bard I usually have my setups ready a year in advance.
And the role PMs a few months in advance.
I mean I'm at the bottom of the list and Ys Mafia is basically good to go already.

All the games I've run, I prepared the moment I signed up to host them. It's why my queued Mafia game is also complete and ready to go at a moment's notice.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

I have a bunch of setups ready and I finalize one whenever my current game finishes.

Although I'm like super ADHD with them and make more/scrap existing setups on whims.

[Moridin]

You quoted the main character from The Prisoner, who is only known as Prisoner Number Six.

Oh yeah.

I didn't really think my reference that far.

[CF7]

 /sigh
Never thought it would be this hard to get one more person to sign up...
I'll probably even accept DNA, if he will promise to follow rules 24 and 25.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

I think that you would experience a net loss of players if you were to get DNA into your game with what happened last game.

[Shadoweh]

When I say I'm on vacation and can't play I don't mean I won't have time, I mean there's no net to play on <.<
I don't like mafia neough to post from Starbucks okay

[CF7]

Well, somebody else clearly needs to sign up then. For example BBM. Or pokemon. Or i dunno. Maybe even Kilgamayan. =)

[Massaca]

:/

I think that I'll regret this [...] but /in anyway.

Actually I know I will but eh >.>
Unless someone else actually does want to *shrug*

[CF7]

Actually I know I will but eh >.>

I hope you won't.

[Schezo]

Sign up and we all won't bash the living fuck out of the new guys like every game ever I promise

[Serela]

Who was it who gave Shadoweh the post restriction from hell on her first game, again? (I'd look it up except I have to leave for work like, now)

[BT]

Who, Massaca? I remember him. He was cool in that one game he played in.

[CF7]

Okay. I'll probably start it, when i get home from work. Which will be in ~5 hours.

[ActionDan]

It was conq with help from scummates.

I just finished the OP and role PMs for my game a couple days ago. Shame it won't be run for another few months.

[WHMZakeri]

I'll be V/LA until next sunday, but I promise to spend the time putting love and care into the setup balance of my game :V

[Conqueror]

It was conq with help from scummates.

Bard and me. I blame Bard for the worst (and funnest to watch the results of) parts.

i remember when px had your avatar and i was all "who's the character in px's avatar she's cute" and it turned out she was like 8 and i was like "god fucking damn it px"

[Massaca]

XD
Well PX put her there so there's that. Best member though.
Oh and like 10 or 11 but yeah >_> *shrug*

[Vhaltz]

I don't really want to be unpleasant or anything and I have zero information on what is or isn't in this game, but as a mod it's best to avoid posting in the game thread as much as possible to avoid giving players game-related information. As such publicly commenting on game content is ill-advised, if anything any game information from the mod should be achieved by asking them questions directly by PM and having them answered by PM as well, and even then there are questions that are best left unanswered to avoid any direct impact on the game.

Good rules to go by are to limit yourself to posting only votecounts, flips, role-related phase updates and maybe any changes in mod availability/deadline timers if those are necessary. Your aim should be to provide a good game experience while interfering as little as possible in the natural course the game would take if you were outright not there.

[O4rfish]

I wonder if it's feasible to build a game where the best means of determining who is town or scum is flavorspec.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

Conq attempts to figure out my setups based on the flavor all the time.
He gets close but fails every time.

[Serela]

I wonder if it's feasible to build a game where the best means of determining who is town or scum is flavorspec.

I think most people wouldn't -want- to play this game.

[NekoNekoRex]

I wonder if it's feasible to build a game where the best means of determining who is town or scum is flavorspec.

My upcoming game would be able to figure out easily who the scum is on flavorclaims. In fact, I tell the town who to look for in the opening post.

Of course, that's why I also banned flavor clams in my game. That and the fact fakeclaims for flavor were impossible to come up with convincingly.

[SB]

banning flavourclaims is dumb imo, if it's gamebreaking then you need to fix your setup.

[BT]

Meh, it's not really important. If you don't want flavor to be a factor your game you could ban flavor talk or you could remove flavor altogether or you could do what SB said or other things and it'd be virtually the same.

[Conqueror]

Banning flavour talk works to an extent but people will find ways around it. It won't stop people from using it privately to break the setup anyway.

A better way is to make it so that flavour can't break the game by either being creative with fakeclaims or being unpredictable with your flavour-role associations.
