idea pertaining to newbs and games (Mafia)

[Snowflake]

Well I finally got to read this thread and I must say I agree with the majority. For issue 6) I realize it is one of my suggestion. Consequently I must vote for A). Actually I feel what the duke is doing right now for the current mafia game is a perfect example for clues.

[Chaunk]

Hmm for option 6, I say B. There should be clues all the way through not just when there's only one mafia. If there is only one mafia left, then the clues should become more difficult not easier IMHO.

ISSUE 1) Player admission:
B) Free-for-all

ISSUE 2) Storyline:
C) Flexible (GM's call)

ISSUE 3) Coordination with the Mafia game:
A) Run Gangsters "simultaneously" with Mafia

ISSUE 4) Gangsters' identities:
ABSTAIN

ISSUE 5) Turn structure:
A) Mafia-style (24 hours; flexible weekend)

ISSUE 6) Killing style:
ABSTAIN

ISSUE 7) Voting procedure:
C) Other - People may decide if they want to vote public or in private (If voting both places, the private vote counts

Mafia works great, no need to change too much. The closed ballot test is good though.

What? Making them too hard, so the villagers resort to guessing again?

One of the major clues has been picked up so far, and (I'm not saying which one) was ignored for the purposes of voting. However, there are minor clues dotted around, of which some will be far more obvious than others. As with Jamski's games, it really is a case of just going back and reading all of the posts I've made. Well, all right, I'll lety you off reading the spammy posts that try to encourage voting or clue-seeking.

[Snowflake]

Got to ask you, are all the clues relevant or are some of them red herrings like when Jamski did the game?

[duke o' york]

They're all relevant, but you have to interpret them in the right way.

While we're on about Mafia, how's about a snazzy little badge for players of the game? Like the Civ 2 Succession Games badge (see left).

It would be amusing if these games/ or just the mafia games got their own subforum but I somehow don't think it'll happen

[Snowflake]

The Community Games Forum

[DarkCloud]

Well, that might be more likely to happen Then a civgroup would certainly be justifable... but I worry that less people will join if we 'subforum' the section... since less people will see the games

but you do have to admit that they currently clutter the Other Games section quite a bit!
