Re: Mafia Game "Discussion" Thread - Part 9
So, anyway. I experienced bunch of these games on other forums. Usually every new round had themes like Werewolves, Vampires and such. Even the basic mafia which we use here.
The role-playing was the most fun, because well, everyone was restricted of course, no one's Superman or has any supernatural powers. And even the bad guys had to give hints that they were the bad guys in their RP-posts.
For example, the Vampires don't like garlic, so if he walks by a grocery store, he could for example say;
As Blai walked through the grocery store, he caught a faint smell of Garlic. "Ugh, Garlic, I hate that smell." he said as he quickly walked through to the counter.
But then again, the normal people also had to include weaknesses and such things of the enemies in their posts. I remember one time where the weakness was water, someone made an RP-post where she went to wash the windows of someone (her role was Townie and she had the Job of Window Washer for the RPing element), she dropped a bucket of soap/water from the ladder.
In the next RP post, I thought it would've been fun to interact with that, so the bucket nearly hit me and I yelled at her furiously for almost getting me wet.
Then people went like
Vote Kill Xadyu.
I think it's more challenging then the way we do it now, but like Imp said, most people here wouldn't stick to his or her role and play seriously.
