I'm not dead yet.

I've been thinking. Of course if somebody would volunteer to GM this game it would be great. Otherwise I wouldn't mind to substitute in, giving that I would be able to add some additional rules.

The things I've been thinking include the following:
1. I will continue sheep's convention of both vampires killing every night. However, randomly one would be dead and the other would become a vampire. And the next night all the vampires would be out.

2. I want to see more roleplays. People are required to choose an occupation, and need to provide a short description of the place they live. They also need to go about in the day time. In the night they can choose to PM me another person they would like to stay with, if they like. If they happen to choose a vampire as their companion the vampire will be noticed and he/she can choose whether he want him to be the victim. If they choose another non-vampire and the vampire happens to choose him as the victim, then he would not be dead.

3. A vampire will die if he/she cannot drink blood by 3 nights in sequence.

4. People can provide method of excution. If the method is not good enough there is a chance that that guy becomes a vampire in the night and grab another victim.

5. If a vampire wants to draw blood from another vampire nothing happens and they become known to each other.

The first one would make the game end quicker with everybody becoming dead or vampires, and the second one has the opposite effect. The rest only makes it more complicated. This is looking like an entirely different game though, I think. But perhaps we could use this as an experiment.

I'm not very familiar with the story of Vampire at all myself. So these are only some thoughts and I thought I'd throw them out for people to ponder a bit while we are waiting.

Snowflake: I like the idea - but why not start a new forum game called Vampire?

Snowflake · October 17, 2004, 16:20

The idea needs much refinement though. Thought I'd just throw it out first to see how receptive others are toward it.

Nikolai · October 17, 2004, 16:50

I agree with Kass: A nice idea...for FG: Vampires!

I favour a approach where people do more roleplay, as in earlier games, but the rules stay as before too.

In.

Hercules · October 17, 2004, 21:07

And me. I kinda thought of a scenario where players had alibis that other players could confirm or at least confirm some aspects but then it got complicated to work out.

Snowflake's idea has definite merit.

Jonny · October 17, 2004, 22:33

Snowflake: Great idea, but as others have said, it would not be Mafia, but an entirely new FG altogether. A new FG that I'd certainly join, that is!

Ok I guess we should stop threadjacking this thread then. I'll make a new discussion thread. Maybe we can do a test run for say 10 players or something.

FlameFlash · October 17, 2004, 23:50

At least I didn't miss much...

Snowflake · October 18, 2004, 00:08

Here, I just made the new thread.

Kassiopeia · October 18, 2004, 03:07

I just got a nifty little idea for a Mafia story. We wouldn't even need to change the thread title. I could "usurp" control of this game and start anew, but with the old kills and players and stuff in place. Just swap out the story and the GM. Thoughts?

joncha · October 18, 2004, 03:32

Go for it.

Theben · October 18, 2004, 06:47

May as well.

Ljube · October 18, 2004, 07:07

Don't wait any longer, just usurp the game immediately please. On the side note, were you the mafia?

Nikolai · October 18, 2004, 07:17

I agree.

Kassiopeia · October 18, 2004, 07:27

No, I was not the Mafia.

I'll just reselect the Mafias. Should I also start a new thread to attract attention? (I'd put a big "New GM, new story!" in the title

)

Do we even have anyone dead yet, come to think of it. Four pages and we've only killed, what, DarkCloud and SnowFire. I'll resurrect them while at it, as well.

Hopefully I'll have the new game thread up by this evening my local time.

Edit: Look at what I found, Sheep saying:

need to place USSR NPC for 2 weeeks as I will be unable to log on.

Nice of you to mention that to us too

Ljube · October 18, 2004, 07:29

Yes, but do name the thread Mafia 27 please

Snowflake · October 18, 2004, 10:14

Alright!

Kassiopeia · October 18, 2004, 13:41

With Sheep out of the picture and me GMing, we need someone to drop out or alternatively someone to replace me.

rah · October 18, 2004, 13:45

Or just declare this one over and start a new signup thread. Create a signup thread and post it, and I'll close this one.
That should force the issue.

Oh, and sign me up for another early death.

Skanky Burns · October 18, 2004, 13:45

I don't have time, so consider me a volunteer to be "dropped out".

Kassiopeia · October 18, 2004, 13:46

Hmm, come to think of it, a new sign-up would probably be best. People who signed up for this one may have abandoned the game and not even bother to check back any longer. (plus it gives me extra time to think up some story stuff and clues

) So - this one can be toasted.
