idea pertaining to newbs and games (Mafia)

[DarkCloud]

Or mafias could know each other and they can win together in the end.

And the secret ballot is a good idea, as long as people still can discuss and share their thought so that the secret votes are not entirely random.

good ideas. As noted, it would allow a cloak-and-dagger aspect to the game In addition, however, the GM could also drop hints as to how people might have voted (since the GM could act sort of like the detective-god [or so I have inferred]).

Therefore, people's own accounts... the accounts they PM to others... and the GM's could be different- and all could be lies!

Also, why wouldn't the mafia's know each other, it would only make sense? (At least in some cases) then they could work in concert... or secretly backstab each other

[Adagio]

I like those ideas also

[Chaunk]

If the mafia do know each other, then backstabbing each other would be stupid...

2 Mafia, A & B. A kills B in the night. B finds out, and posts "I was the mafia, and A that little schemeing ***** is the other mafia. I suggest you pile him now then you can win."

[Skanky Burns]

If you know who the mafia is, you are forbidden from posting in the thread. And if someone decided to break that rule by naming the other mafia, what do you reckon the chances of them being allowed to play again are?

[DrSpike]

Under the table PM'ing would still be a problem though. The mafias should not be aware of one another.

[Adagio]

... or they should just not be able to kill each other...

[Skanky Burns]

But that still leaves the under-table PMing where they could reveal the other mafia. One counter would be mafia surviving gets n points, but if both mafia survive they get n+ points so it is in their best interest to keep each other alive. Or we could just keep them not knowing who the other is.

[Trokair]

The "secret ballot" thing sounds like fun but I don't think the mafia should be able to know each other. Perhaps try that in one game but I think it is interesting to have one mafia "accidentally" kill off the other. That way the mafioso could try to follow the clues that the rest of the people are trying to compile to win thereselves more points (if there is going to be a point system).

Well, they shouldn't be allowed to post that since they're dead.

Frankly, I don't see why people are allowed to announce if they are the mafia and they die- in reality, no one would know... I would suggest taht if indeed the 2nd mafia were killed, that the first one gets the power to kill more people to make up for the 2nd's absence

[Zopperoni]

He does.

The kills are alternated. One mafioso kills in the odd rounds, the other in the even rounds.
If A is killed R4, then B gets to kill in all the remaining rounds until he is caught.

You are not saying that he could kill 2 people per night are you?

And I agree that there is secruity risks of information leaks if mafias know about each other.

[DarkCloud]

Actually, now that I know the game better- I would say that the remaining mafia would kill every night rather than just on the odd/even ones so that no one would know that anything is awry

Thus, three people could be left, and 2 could be the mafia (It hurts your mind just thinking of it!)
