Forum Mafia?

[trineroks]

Hey guys, if i were to POTENTIALLY start a forum mafia game here, how many of you guys would be down to play?

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) In case you don't know what Mafia is.

Here's what I think:

We could have a maximum of 15 players per game.

There will be three hidden forums on here: Forum Mafia, Mafia Group Chat, and Friends Group Chat. These forums will be visible ONLY by Mafia players, Mafia members, and the Friends. I'll ask Scott and see if I can obtain special permission to create usergroups and such.

Forum Mafia is where all the action is: players cannot create new topics; however, the narrator (me) will post a topic titled "Day #" with a recap of the events of the night before, as well as an invigorating storyline. I will have a poll on each of these topics with everyone's names and a "Cancel/Skip Day" option. Person who accumulates the most votes in the day wkill be lynched at the end of the day (he will no longer have permission to write in the forum but can observe the game). If "Cancel/Skip Day" has the most votes, nobody will be lynched and it will proceed into night. The poll cannot be rigged by multiple accounts since the forum is visible by only the select 15 or so. Each day will be one real life day; at the end of the day I will lock the topic and announce it's night (night will last one full day as well) for Mafia to decide who to kill, doctor who to save, detective who to investigate, etc.

Mafia Group Chat: Privileges similar to Forum Mafia forum (I will start topics titled "Night #". ONLY the Mafia members can see this forum. The Mafia members (usually 3) can choose who to kill and confirm that kill with me. The next day I will lock the topic.

Friends Group Chat: Similar to Mafia Group Chat forum, but accessible ONLY by the friends (usually 3 people). They can formulate strategies on how to win at night. This forum will also have me start a topic, and conversation will continue.

SOME ROLES THAT I AM CONSIDERING:

Town roles:
Civilian - Just your average civvie. Can barricade his house at night ONCE IN THE ENTIRE GAME AT NIGHT to protect himself from death. The civilian must PM me this action.

Police Officer - A cop who will bypass the law to rid the world of evildoers. He has the option of killing up to THREE times in the ENTIRE GAME AT NIGHT. The Police Officer must PM me the target of choice.

Detective - A sleuth who can investigate people for clues. He can investigate one person PER NIGHT to find out clues. CLUES. The detective must PM me the target of choice.

Friends - A group of friends who know eachother. Be careful of defending eachother though, because you may end up looking like the Mafia trying to defend eachother.

Bodyguard - A strong man who served in the Russian Spetsnaz. He can choose to protect someone AT NIGHT to prevent him from dying. HOWEVER, this will result in the death of both the bodyguard AND the attacker in the case a mafia attacks a protected person. Bodyguard must PM me the target he wishes to defend.

Sherlock Holmes (?) - A super sleuth who can detect EXACT roles AT NIGHT. Acts like the detective but is never wrong in his results. He is limited to 5 investigations IN THE ENTIRE GAME. Sherlock Holmes must PM me the target of choice.

Doctor - A surgeon with a pair of defibrillators. He can choose one target to save PER NIGHT. If the target is attacked, he will not die. The doctor CANNOT protect himself, but other doctors can protect eachother. The doctor must PM me the target of choice.

Secret Agent - A man who served in MI-6 and the CIA before retiring. He has control of communications devices and can intercept chat from the Mafia. This means I (the narrator) will PM him the results of last night's Mafia night chat; HOWEVER, THE NIGHT CHAT WILL BE ANONYMOUS SO THE AGENT DOES NOT KNOW WHO THE MAFIA IS.

Lookout - An eagle-eyed observer who owns a car and can observe one player EACH NIGHT to find out the names of everyone who visited that player. The lookout must PM me the topic of choice.

Mafia roles:
Mafia - Your typical mafia member, armed with a Thompson submachinegun. He must talk with the godfather on the Mafia Group Chat forum to decide on a kill. I WILL ONLY ACCEPT KILLS ON THE MAFIA GROUP FORUM. DO NOT PM ME THE TARGET.

Godfather - The leader of the mafia. The Godfather is immune to death at night and does not appear suspicious in investigation reports (except for Sherlock Holmes). Otherwise, the same rules as mafia apply.

Framer - A trained criminal who can frame others at night. If a detective investigates the framed target, the target will appear as guilty. Please post your framed target on the Mafia Group Chat forum.

Clean Sweeper - A criminal with experience in hiding evidence. A clean sweeper will prevent a target's role from appearing in the graveyard (instead of "trineroks (Civilian)" is dead, it will appear as "trineroks (???)" is dead). The clean sweeper should target the same target as the godfather. Please post your target on Mafia Group Chat forum.

Rogue Investigator - An investigator who has been bribed to join the mafia. He acts like the Sherlock Holmes for the mafia, detecting exact roles. Please post target on Mafia Group Chat forum.

Neutral Roles (Wins if you survive until the end)
Seducer - A very seductive and promiscuous man/woman. Can roleblock one person PER NIGHT. (Role blocking = prevent the player from doing his/her night action such as killing, investigating, etc). Please PM me the target of choice.


I will add more roles. If you have roles suggestions or edits to existing roles, please say so. For now I need enough affirmatives to start this forum mafia.

Btw. Sorry for double posting but discussion of the forum mafia WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ANYPLACE ELSE except for the select three forums. If you are found illegally discussing the game you will be kicked from the current game.

In-Game notifications will be sent to players via PM, such as role, titled "MAFIA". All PMs to me must be titled "Mafia Action".
