...Okay?

[RedWarrior0]

I still think we need a chaos game on the forums.

*puts the suggestion up for Chosen One Mafia

[Org]

Okay, here is a mafia idea I have been thinking about. Don't go OTT on the criticism, I haven't thought too much about it.

Proposition Mafia(Or something like that. Meh. Needs a better name. Maybe Senate Mafia?)
Everyone is a senator, come to meet at a meeting. But something is wrong; you find a member of your senate killed! So, everyday, you convene. For the first day irl, everyone proposes a "bill", but there are certain limits(ie no bills targeting a specific group). It then has to be seconded, or it fails and does not move on to voting.  Those that are seconded move on to voting, which happens the second day irl. Those that reach a majority are passed, and their effect will start the next Day in the game. Those that aren't fail.

Of course it isnt thought out too far. Only an idea.

[Mr.Person]

So a Mafia Nomic?

[RedWarrior0]

Sounds like it.

[Org]

I guess.

[dakarian]

Interesting idea, but there's an issue of motivation:

1. What laws would the town want to place?

2. What's the motivation behind putting laws that others may not like?

You could make it so that the game is VERY restrictive (no roleflips, for example) and the town votes to remove the restrictions but then you have LASD mafia again and I imagine you are aiming more for the town making their own laws.

It would be very easy for town to win. Pass two laws: One enabling lynches, and one that reveals all alignments of players.

[Mr.Person]

Obviously either the laws made should not be in the hands of the town or the majority of players should not have the same win condition. Boot strapping Third Party Mafia's setup could work nicely in that regard.

[Pandarsenic]

All players alignments revealed, in 8-person Third Party Mafia setup style:
Town: NO (reveals him)
Mafia: NO (forces him and SK into combat immediately)
SK: NO (See Mafia)
Survivor: YES (Duh)
Lyncher: NO (
Jester: NO (Duh)
Mafia-Ally: NO (Not willing to compromise his Mafia buddy)
Cult: NO (Obvious again)

Of course, the hilarious and awesome WIFOM comes in as people want to appear to be the Survivor and so vote yes but they can't see it pass or they're screwed... :3

[dakarian]

Hmm, so a congressional setting, with a mass of different win conditions, and free PMs to allow lots of deal making.


Still wondering what kind of laws would go through other than those two but it's starting to form together.

I would put some restrictions in.

Enable some anti lurking laws, methinks.  How about "If a mafia member lurks for 48 hours or more, he gets an extra kill".  Suddenly the town would be very keen to get people talking.

What if every Mafia member lurks, just to gain the extra kill?
