I'd be happy to run a simplified version of the Casino Mafia game I ran at Ratskep with...
* 1 bad guy team only
* All powers stay constant with each player (no rotating powers)
* Everyone uses their own forum name
* No gambling to increase/decrease voting powers.
It's pretty much a traditional style mafia game, with some nice graphics and storylines already created and ready to go at short notice.

Several people have expressed interest in seeing a game from behind the wall. Would you be interested in someone tagging along as deputy GM?

Hi !
Ummmm, OK, I can run it, and I'd be happy to have a co-Mod. I just want to be sure that I'm not stepping on toes. I haven't read through your mafia forum yet, so don't know who's got what in the pipeline and I'd hate to queue jump. I was just throwing the idea out there for consideration. I'm happy to wait if someone else has something ready to go. If not though, I could start a game on say Sunday or Monday ?

I see there's been a few requests for later in the week. If Thursday next week is OK, we could try for then ?
That would allow for a shorter, simpler game in the meantime and yes, I can go about defending my honour against unjust accusations in the current ratskep mafia game.

I don't see why we shouldn't be trying to work towards a time that the most people can participate? Of course it's up to Durro at the end of the day but considering we only just made the numbers last time, i think it would be more fun to gm as well as play in a game with more people.

OK, how about this coming Sunday for a start date ? That way, we won't interfere with people's Saturday socialising, and will get the game done and dusted well before the GAC.
Here's the basic outline...
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/SDurro/Casino%20Mafia/CasinoMafiaheader.jpg
Brief overview
Times
* Starts in 1 week (Sun 18th March)
* 12 hour day rounds from 0800hrs AEST to 2000 hrs AEST (9am till 9pm eastern dayligt savings time).
* 12 hour day rounds from 2000 hrs AEST to 0800hrs AEST (9pm till 9am eastern daylight savings time)
Game Features
* No recruiting
* 1 mafia team only
* Usual range of traditional mafia game characters plus maybe a surprise or two on both sides of the fence.
* No players with independent win conditions
* No romeo/juliet pairings
* No puzzles or cryptic clues.
* No gambling in this one
* PM's will be allowed
* Game Mods are Durro and Lord Blackadder
* Essentially a straightforward traditional mafia game, but with some individual roles powered up a bit more.
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/SDurro/Casino%20Mafia/casinofront.jpg
Welcome to the La Cosa Nostra Casino where their motto is "We'll offer you some games you can't refuse". On the face of it, the casino is a great place to enjoy responsible gambling, entertainment, food and liquid refreshments while staying in 5 star luxury at the hotel. However, rumours abound of underworld involvement in the running of the casino and there's been a spate of strange deaths recently. You have all been invited to stay in the hotel and play in the casino, but it now appears that your dream vacation may be turning into a nightmare. Mafia members have infiltrated the hotel and are trying to take over - and they will eliminate anyone they think is getting in their way. The innocents decide to take matters into their own hands and must try to eliminate the scourge infesting the hotel and lynch a mafia suspect daily.
On the innocents' side are a number of players with capabilities which may or may not assist the identification and/or capture of the mafia team members. However, be warned - the mafia team may be small, but it is powerful. The smaller mafia team knows who each other is and can coordinate their actions together.
All mafia players with the exception of the Godfather appear guilty on an investigation.
All innnocent players, with the exception of perhaps one or two players hampered by certain considerations, appear innocent on investigation.
Lynch Votes
Lynch votes are compulsory in this game. 5 penalty votes will be assigned in the following day round to each player who neglects to vote.
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/SDurro/Casino%20Mafia/angrymobvotes.jpg
Full set of rules to come in the game thread.
We're looking for 15 to 20 players to make a game of it. More than 20 is OK though.

What do you mean by no recruiting? :)
Durro
11th March 2012, 10:26 AM
Mafia for Newbies
There are good guys (also called "innocents", or "town" players) and bad guys (also called "scum" or "mafia"). The good guys start the game not knowing who anyone else is in the game. The bad guys start knowing who else is bad and on their team (sometimes there are more than one bad guy teams) and thus by default, who the innocents and/or other bad guys are. The game is separated into day and night rounds.
The object of the game is for the good guys to vote to lynch one person per day round and hopefully choose a bad guy each day to get rid of until there are none left. Sometimes mistakes are made of course. Some good guys also have special powers which may enable them to kill off a suspected bad guy, protect other players, investigate other players, block the actions of another players and so on. These are often referred to as "special innocents".
The bad guys have to secretly kill off an innocent player each night round and remain undiscovered until they have a majority voting bloc at which time they can control the day round voting and the game is unwinnable for the innocents.
We try to work out who is who by :-
* Suspicious behaviour in posts
* Investigations by special innocents
* Clues provided by the game Mods.
* Logic and deduction based on whatever you consider logical and deductive.
We DO NOT use :-
* Previous game roles
* Previous grudges and vendettas
* Cheating
* Claims that doing/saying "xxxxxx" is a sure sign of scumminess according to some alleged authority on Mafia games.
to identify other players.
Players may make claims about their roles and may lie and deceive other players publicly and/or by PM. Misdirection and fraud is integral to the game. The innocents need to work together to find out who is trustworthy and can help get rid of the bad guys.
That's about it.
Welcome to mafia and I hope that you enjoy it. It's all light hearted fun, so don't take it too seriously.
:thumbsup:
Durro
11th March 2012, 10:28 AM
What do you mean by no recruiting? :)
There are some versions of Mafia games where the mafia team have the option of either killing or recruiting someone from the innocent team. I might try this sort of game later on down the track, but for this one, the team you start on is the team you stay on.

Interesting. Do you think knowing someone IRL and/or how well you know them would affect how one played mafia with them? I admit I hadn't really thought about it. I suppose it could have a bit of an influence.

Game starts this Sunday so sign up before then!
Me, no understand how to play. :(
It's a learn-as-you-go thing to a certain extent. Have a read through Durro's post in this thread "Mafia for Newbies (http://www.atheistfoundation.org.au/forums/showpost.php?p=279959&postcount=61)"
The next game will be a Level 2, according to Durro's Mafia Scale:
1 = Fun and not too challenging
2 = Fun, but a few surprises here and there.
3= Challenging, but still enjoyable even though I had little idea of what was going on
4 = Perplexing and difficult - my brain hurts and I hate the Game Mods
5 = WTF ? I just may have blown an aneurysm because I feel as tho............................................... ............
Go on...:D

I didn't know how to play either, and I had a baptism of fire on Sunday morning when I woke up to find I was the only scum still alive in town.
That's when it got fun.
The basic play is this.
If you're town, stay alive, and identify the scum to get them lynched.
If you're scum, stay alive, and try and get town lynched as well as work out who to off each night.
There. Easy.

From what I observed, step 1 is kill all moderators. Not only can they be dangerous but you can think of it as offering them stress relief.
Step 2, what Cyclist said, unless you are on the other side, or another side.
Remember, you can win while dead.

*ahem* That would be what came to be known as the Protium Effect, brought on by the massive brain fart mafia can induce in even the most reasonable of people, and is not actually a Rule of the Game.
Just wanted to make that quite clear to any n00bs :p

Saturday, errrr, sometime. So Lord Blackadder and I can send out the game roles sometime Saturday evening.
The more, the merrier (and more flexible the game gets), so sign up at your leisure/pleasure.

Davo done it.
Durro's how to play and game scenario posts were getting lost in the sign up thread so I put them into a specific separate thread for the forthcoming game so people could clearly see it.

Good, then you can help me with Tapatalk. I used it, for the very first time ever, during the the first Mafia game and, well, I screwed up the voting (compounded somewhat by a 3G hitch). :facepalm:
Last game I just used Atomic. No screw-ups but I figure there's a reason for Tapatalk, so if I know how to use it properly I'll know why it's better to use. Part of the problem was the copy/pasting malarkey, another part was the refresh.

Play and learn. It unfolds as you go. It helps if you've got a bit of imagination (given that if you're scum you'll have to lie through your teeth, convincing people you're innocent) and also an ability to add flavour to a themed game such as this one by rolling along with the scenario.
If you read through one of the previous games you'll see how it pans out.
It is pretty confusing the first time but it really does get clearer once you're playing. Give it a go!
