Discussion Mafia Game "Discussion" Thread v.6

[TheBoss]

Well, I didn't understand why so many Townies were so sure the Mentor would go for us in the night, either. I mean, if we are outnumbered by the Mafia, isn't it also game over for the Third Party? That's like shooting yourself in the foot if I got this right

"so many townies" yeah right... xD

So it's 6 against 4 now.

I just hope mafias will end this phase quickly. I sure as hell dont want to wait 100 hours.

Naturally, I have a few that could fit "so many Townies", but it shouldn't be brought up in the night phase.

 

[Lawl Po Bia]

To think that Niichan died before me best valentine present i got

Frosty must be happy too.

5 against 4 you mean

Regarding the timezones thing with the Mentor/Mentee. I think it is a nice kick for the role to give the Mentor a Mentee from the start. However, it takes the choice out of the Mentor's hands. If communication is a key part of the dynamic, not being able to choose someone in your own timezone or more active than some is a disadvantage.

Oh right, this could be a crazy night though, so let's wait on the numbers. :O

But the game will get interesting if on day 4 the townies SOMEHOW find a mafia member ..

Would you like the host to ask the mentor to choose a random player at the start?

Really?

That's a double advantage. No.

I think it'd be better if it goes back to a lone Mentor next time. Niichan was just super unlucky. The Mason Recruiter starts with a Mason sometimes, sometimes not.

 

[digitaldude]

There is also a cult that exists in some games they are like anti-masons, but I heard that they get outta hand most games and win them.

After reading Gary's post I was thinking:
The Mentor could be given a starting power, to be able to recruit whoever he/she wants, whenever during the day. That way the Mentor can assess the players for e.g. a few hours, and decide on a Mentee to fit his/her playing style.

Maybe too powerful however...

Strong players will always end up getting recruited, though.

Probably you will always be recruited since you spam like a mad man.

Third-Party Mentors are called Cult Mentors. Townie Mentors are Masons with day communication and kill ability. Mafia Mentors are like Mafia Recruiters. The procedure differs a bit for each though. Cult Mentors kill Mafia by recruiting them, Townie can choose to kill a Mafia the next day if they recruit one or keep them. The one with the least procedural details is the Mafia Mentor. I guess it works like the Serial Killer, but aligned to Mafia with the ability for those two Mafia to speak during the day. I don't think they have the ability to kill in addition to the Mafia kill though...

I was considering giving the Lovers the same ability as the Mentor-Mentee duo. In my opinion the Lovers as they are now are pretty useless and hopeless to ever make it far in a game. I think the communication ability could spice things up, as well as for the Town as well as for the Mafia too!

I thought that they couldn't talk so the townie lover wouldn't know who are the others mafia members xD But I guess that wouldn't be that bad, since they die together.

Oh, please, guys, let's have a LOL theme

~we even have a host for that now!

Well, I would be a candidate, but I'm not the only one who would be called "active".
But those who barely make a point in the first day and evade the talks for much won't be targeted.

Yeah, now they can't but I want to make them talk. As they both have to get rid of all Townies and Mafia anyway, so how to win if talking is not allowed? You figured it yourself, when we were lovers, it's DAMN complicated!
