Beginner Mafia 2: BYOR Edition - Game Over!
« on: July 03, 2022, 12:43:36 pm »

Hey, potentially new player! Ever wanted to play Mafia, but really scared about playing and then realize we fill up our games stupid fast? Want to play one of the fun games, but scared about being new? Are you wanting to play something closer to a Forum Game than regular Mafia?

This is Bring Your Own Role (BYOR) Mafia (specifically for Beginners), where you submit a role name to me (and preferably a wiki link, if it's not something commonplace.) What roles are available? Pretty much anything! Want some ideas? Look in the spoiler!

Spoiler: Role Ideas (click to show/hide)



How to join:
- First, post that you are in in bold. New players will always get priority.
- Second, send your preferred role name to me, webadict.
- Third, I will notify you when the game starts, with your role.

These sign-ups may be longer than other games because this game is geared specifically for inexperienced and new players! If you wish to join, but this game is currently running, simply post as such in one of the pinned threads.

How to play:
Never played before? Have no fear! We have a couple players that will try their best to help you play. The Town must find the Mafia and eliminate them while the Mafia eliminates the Town at Night. Since this is a BYOR, all players will have a role, and be able to use their role powers to benefit them in some way.



Here's some boring rules!

Rules:
- We start on Day 1, which means everyone gets to play!
- Hammers are in effect. That means if a majority vote is reached, the Day ends. Please cease talking at that point until the Day is processed.
- Days start at ~72 hours and eventually shorten to 48 hours as the game progresses. Nights will always be 24 hours or until all Actions are received. Weekends will count for 24 hours.
- There will be no extensions or shortens, except in special circumstances (Hammers will always end the Day, so if you wish to shorten the Day, HAMMER!)
 - If you require a replacement, please notify me as soon as possible. Things happen, do not worry about it!
- Vote in bold and red, for clarity. I will use a bot to read votes named Mamobo, and will posts vote counts at least once per Day, though you may ask for a vote count at any time.

Also, for those without knowledge of how I style roles, here's a little cheat sheet!

Spoiler: Webadict on Roles (click to show/hide)




Sign-ups:
New or inexperienced players will get priority! If the sign-ups are filled and you're a new or inexperienced player, I will remove an experienced player for you! It would be preferred to have at least 2 experienced players to help out, but if we get 9 new players, then we'll simply play like that!

Interested. I really enjoyed your past BYORs wuba, some of my favorite games to have played in, and this seems like a good way to get my feet wet again after the long break since I last played Mafia.

The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

You play scum same way as you play town.  It's all about your actions being convincing.

Technically, it's a gray area. In some forums, the answer is, indeed, yes. I honestly wouldn't recommend doing that, though, because you may very well make a lot of mistakes by doing that!

No, actually.  I think it was Toaster (or maybe Leafsnail) who said they don't even look at their role PM until N1.  They might have changed strategy, but since day actions are rare this isn't a terribly bad idea.

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind
Wait, wrong tutorial.

1: Aggressively look for a town player that looks scummy. Targeting your partner works too, since it's unlikely anyone will go along with you.
2: Post aggressive point by point cases and tunnel.
3: Eventually back off and look for a new target.
4: Get read as 'incompetent town'.
Rinse and repeat.

is it cheating to simply not read my role pm
Technically speaking, yes, since there is always a possibility of a post restriction being present in someone's role, including yours. Never mind how small it is, the chance exists, and you could be violating your post restriction if you don't read your role.
