One night mafia

[Skoffin]

Ahoy, I want to see what people here think of playing a game of single night mafia. I'll make things more clear for the actual game, but I'll give a quick run down here to explain the general idea:

The game should last about a week: 2 nights to give out roles and get night actions, 5 days for the day phase and 1-2 to get votes. This game is faster than the usual.

Game starts with night phase however no one dies, day phase you try to figure out who is what (but no voting) and then once day ends the voting phase begins. In the voting phase you PM your votes. If any wolf is lynched town wins, if a townie is lynched wolf team wins.

The setup is open so I will post all the roles when the game starts. However, there will be more roles than players; the extra roles not assigned to a player will be put in 'placeholder' positions that other roles may be able to interact with.

That's the basic idea of the game, and it can get a bit more confusing than a dethy :p What do you chaps think

Yesyesyes

[dakky21]

I'm interested to see how will that work

[rishaed]

Yesyesyes

I agree... This sounds quite interesting!

[Skoffin]

Oh, I should probably also add that you shouldn't put too much stock in 'balance'. There are a variety of roles between wolves, town and possibly a third party and since the selection is random it can end up with any combination. You could have 3 mafia and a minion, to 1 mafia, or even just a minion etc.

Sounds like a great setup for the 'Experimental' games. I'd play.

Just open open signups if you want to run it.

[Metsfanmax]

I like this. Would participate.

[LSU Tiger Josh]

sounds fun

I somehow have the feeling that he wants someone to mod one, but he wants to play LOL.
I've done a setup like this one, or seen one so I don't know what the balance is supposed to be.

This is a form of wearwolf, ive played it multiple times its pretty balanced.

I'll host a game soon, just been a bit busy with a few things. I will probably make the signups at the end of the week.

I was actually thinking I should try hosting one of these games before I saw this thread, we play this at my game club a lot. It's a lot better than mafia for real-life playing, since no-one gets eliminated and has to wait around for everyone else. It should work on a forum too.

[Metsfanmax]

I would also be willing to host if someone could give an example of the types of roles that are typically included.

[Skoffin]

Can host one of these next week if people are still keen.
One of the benefits of this game is that since it's so quick and low maintenance we could run game after game if anyone wants to rotate modding them.

[BuJaber]

Hotshot ran two successful games of this but then the interest seemed to dwindle for the 3rd one. Anyway I'll probably be down as usual.

[HotShot53]

If you start it I'll join as a participate rather than host this time.

[Samlen]

Seems interesting. I'd be willing to give it a try.

[Fircoal]

I'd be in.

[Skoffin]

Sorry lads, I am unexpectedly moving sooner than I anticipated. As such I will delay until my internet is set up at the new place. I'll make the sign-up thread in a couple of days as then enough people should have signed up by the time I am back online.
