If his signups are stuck at 7, then yeah, 12 is going to be a dream away.

TWO DAYS LATER

Mitsuki · « **Reply #782 on:** June 24, 2014, 09:05:48 PM »

I'm beginning to think that Oarfish has ragequit hosting or something.

I'm beginning my signups in 5 days if he hasn't said anything by then.

O4rfish · « **Reply #783 on:** June 24, 2014, 11:07:31 PM »

I'm just waiting for more people to sign up.

I think you need to post a set of rules, and an explanation of the setup, that players can understand. Five pages in and it seems like we still don't know it.

Everybody, wish conqueror a very happy birthday, full of pleasant mafia dialogue

Conqueror · « **Reply #786 on:** June 25, 2014, 05:10:52 AM »

Oops, I didn't even realize it until you said it. Now I feel old.

ActionDan · « **Reply #787 on:** June 25, 2014, 05:55:43 AM »

Just remember that I'm older even.

Or that Shadoweh is something like 39.5.

Sky_Paladin · « **Reply #788 on:** June 25, 2014, 06:36:04 AM »

Happy birthday, Conqueror!

Shadoweh · « **Reply #789 on:** June 25, 2014, 09:58:45 AM »

I will have you know I'm still a cool, pristine 17 years old.
Conq isn't even going to give out Yunos. >:C hurry up and start a game so we can lynch him!

O4rfish · « **Reply #790 on:** June 25, 2014, 12:32:05 PM »

Let's say for example there are nine players in the game. Three scum and six town.
Day 1, lynch. Night 1 kill. Day 2 lynch. Night 2 kill. Day 3 lynch. The length of days and nights could be flexible, because deaths cannot be skipped for the numbers to work out properly.

Each death removes a player from the town thread and moves them to the boardroom. Dead town may only post in the boardroom, which is where the final vote takes place. Dead scum may post in the boardroom and also in the scum topic. Once the last lynch occurs, the town thread is locked.

Now there are five players in the boardroom, and four players left alive. The dead town players vote for one of the living players. If that player is town, town wins. If that player is scum, scum wins.

Everything scales up and down by adding or subtracting three players, but as the number of players goes up, the ratio of kills to lynches becomes closer to even. This is the main reason I wanted more people, and also because I haven't seen a twelve-player game with four scum or a fifteen-player game with five scum. The smaller the population, the less I think the interesting and different part of this game will stand out.

Pesco · « **Reply #791 on:** June 25, 2014, 01:29:28 PM »

It looks fine until the end where if scum actually worked for their win, they could lose it on a whim of the dead. What I mean is, it's not fair to give town that 25% chance of a win when scum already earned it by putting away 5 town without losing any of their own.

O4rfish · « **Reply #792 on:** June 25, 2014, 03:13:24 PM »

Did you read the part where it's a mountainous game with a high amount of scum?

ActionDan · « **Reply #793 on:** June 25, 2014, 03:24:39 PM »

It's workable. Imo

Pesco · « **Reply #794 on:** June 25, 2014, 04:14:14 PM »

Completely irrelevant to the fact that scum have to put up with the possibility of losing when they have already rightfully won.

O4rfish · « **Reply #795 on:** June 25, 2014, 04:42:11 PM »

Pesco, how many scum should be in a mountainous game? Mafiascum.net suggests 2 out of 12. My setup would be 4 out of 12. Why would there be any doubt that scum should win an ordinary game given those numbers? The whole point is that this game is not ordinary, but that I have attempted to make it balanced anyways.

Town and scum both have advantages and disadvantages in this game that they don't usually have. I think it is weird to keep harping on one thing as a reason to not join the game, or worse as a reason for other people to not join the game.

I don't think people aren't joining because of the naysayers, I think they aren't joining because they're the naysayers. Or just plain don't think it's an interesting idea.

WHMZakeri · « **Reply #798 on:** June 25, 2014, 07:48:09 PM »

in fact, I joined because of the naysayers. I'm weird like that.

O4rfish · « **Reply #799 on:** June 26, 2014, 01:57:28 AM »

Why exactly do you think the game will be uninteresting? Is it too similar to games you have already played?

Dr Rawr · « **Reply #800 on:** June 26, 2014, 02:45:13 AM »

tl;dr
/in
ill read the rules when the game is up probably maybe i have no clue whats going on where am i

BigBangMeteor · « **Reply #801 on:** June 26, 2014, 02:32:07 PM »

Something BT was talking to me about- since Vigilante Mafia is a cross-site invitational, would people be okay with it being separate from the queue and being hosted sometime in a few weeks? It's almost ready (looking to finish it up and do some testing on the weekend). If not I can just put it on the queue on SF but it'll probably be on for like next summer with how long the queue there is.

Mitsuki · « **Reply #802 on:** June 27, 2014, 09:06:27 AM »

It can go before my game but I don't want them to run together. I don't think it's a good idea given the activity in MotK.

We can obv host multiple games at once, but if you could at least wait for whatever game is running (or if this one is still in signups in two weeks) at that time to end before announcing signups for it (imo for a cross-site thing like that just cutting in is fine, it's just a matter of people not already being in a game). I know I'm looking forward to hydraing with DO NOT EDIT POSTS GUY or the one newbie Prims REALLY likes, or maybe even the lurker that never posts. <3

I wanna hydra Shadoweh ;_;

I'd Hydra Kilga too. :V

Is the game starting anytime soon?

Bardiche · « **Reply #807 on:** June 28, 2014, 05:35:39 PM »

Outlook is bleak.

Raikaria · « **Reply #808 on:** June 28, 2014, 05:58:04 PM »

Mafia is in the doldrums recently.

Oh, eh... Back to playing EO IV.
