Has anyone made a mafia, where your character can survive to the next game? Cus I think I'm about to make one.

[Cheeetar]

How do you mean that the character survives to the next game- the role attached to the player does, the player does alone (as in some sort of knockout tournament), or just the role by itself? I believe King of the Mafia has done one of these.

Oh that's interesting, like a continuing story. Whereby anyone can take up the role of the survivor? That's not what I meant.

I mean like, say your character can get better by surviving sessions of mafia.

It'd be kind of difficult to work with. Unless the character could change their alignment between games, they'd be confirmed as town or scum from the first round. Plus, one or two characters being stronger than normal at the start would be kind of unbalancing for whatever faction they're with, and if the same player was guaranteed to get them then that player would probably just get lynched or killed during the first round as a precaution.

I'm not sure, as its just a theory(a forum game theory). I think I can solve all these problems. My question was, if anyone already has.

Again my solution is theoretical not proven.

In Choose-Your-Own-Mafia, surviving players get experience at the end of each day which they can spend on new powers.

Thanks. I mean surviving from one game to the next, but that sounds cool.

You should check out King of the Mafia (search the subforum)-- a player keeps their secret role power between games if they survive and each game they have a chance of becoming the next mafia.

How do you do that.

I searched "King of the Mafia" (with and without " ") and it just randomly searches each individual word.

All four KotMs are in the Notable Games Archive, under Classic Games.

The in-forum search system isn't very good, honestly.

Ok, I think I see. So you keep your role between 2 sessions. Correct?

[notquitethere]

Players who survive a game keep their role for as many sessions it takes for someone to win.

[Tomasque]

Don't search King of the Mafia, search "King of the Mafia" (with the parentheses). It will very much narrow down your search.

This sounds like a good idea, if you can get it to work.
