The Mafia custom game found through starcraft 2 is damn awesome to play with a friend/gf/people who dont even play video games. Just don't cheat (so play in different rooms until one of you dies, don't give away info in on opposite teams or just play one game and discuss who is mafia/ who should be killed/who is lying together
The mafia custom game is the ONLY map I play on SC2, it is pretty fucking boss if I do say so myself, and sorry for not posting in here earlier, someone bought me KF when it went on sale, she would have but doesn't get paid until next week and it wouldn't be on sale then. Also Hemminjay from these bay12 forums also offered to buy me KF but he was too late as someone else already had. Thank you anyways HJ.
The reason I haven't posted this sooner is cuz i've been busy playing KF with my ladyfriend. lol, well right now i'm switching between playing that, and playing PSO2, (she wouldn't even attempt to play PSO2, but it's such a good game)
Glad to hear more bay12ers are playing sc2 mafia. Sometimes I feel like it is a rare gem that get buried under a pile of iffy custom games and too little appreciation in the gamer community. I too pretty much play on it in lieu of sc (hero attack has its charms as well, I see it as a stoner/casual/lazy person friendly league of legends--dead 15 times? No problem, sneak in and back door ftw!)
It is the only game where trolling is not only universally enjoyable but actually makes for an interesting game with others (e.g. my favorite win is when I was an arsonist, the mafia had a janitor so there was some confusion about which roles were still in the game. Mid-game I randomly call out someone as a serial killer. Before they die (cursing my name) I shout out "executioner win!" town and mafia agree not to lynch me, since it is unproductive to lynch an exeecutioner. I proceed to act super reasonable, and helpful. With my votes, town gets almost all mafia. When mafia tries to kill me, I lol at them killing a night immune executioner. In the end it comes down to the godfather, a mafia (ex-amnesiac), a townie and me. The lynching votes are tied, no one dies, but obviously the mafia will kill the remaining townie for the win. Gf says "good night
" I say "good night
"
And burn them all.
I've never seen mafia players from both teams congratulate someone on a win until that day XD
