You probably want to put that over in the "hashing out gametypes" thread, Webadict.

As-is, I'm not sure what I think about the HP-oriented games.  It might be good to play those intermittently with Wizard Duel (i.e. one HP-game at a time), because I personally doubt they'll be in high demand.  Of course, that may just be a matter of preference.

I was too lazy to find it. And it's mostly a Queue thing for now.

As for HP-related games, you'll have to watch out for Massclaims. It makes some games broken.

I was looking at the current Beginner Mafia and it made me think about making a Pokemon Mafia, where each person would be modeled after a Pokemon or some such item, and each Night, each Pokemon would use one of their attacks (Each person would have HP.) All the attacks would be posted (Pikachu uses Thunder on Geodude, for example.) I'm sure there's other roles and rules I could come up with, but I'm wondering how well all of this might work.

Yes, but I'd have to do a fair balancing act on it. I bet I could get a functioning gunfight with it.

Y'know, if you actually think before shooting, Gunfight is actually a fairly normal(ish) game, since you can "lynch" any Serial Killers trying to get a quick win in.  Gunfight-Insane, on the other hand...

Any gunfight game I was in ended up being whoever is the last guy standing wins.

But in, say, a game with a mafia member, an SK and 3 townies, it's possible to lynch people in a fairly normal way.  If you're in a game with 2 mafia and 3 townies though...

I'd like to start sign-ups for Duality Mafia on the 1st of February. It's a bit far from now, but I think planning this all out in advance is a good thing.

Maybe we should bust out a calendar? I'd be willing to use Excel if you guys can make guesses as to how long your ongoing games will last.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

Aztec Mafia, I believe was scrapped (org seems uninterested to run it now).

Also my BYOR is also scrapped.  I think we had enough of that.


Add Bellsounder to the que in its place.  I'm ready to start it up.

Also put Eversion Mafia into Development.

Perhaps we need a version of Kingmaker? Or we could have an Assassin round too! Might as well put those up.

[Webadict:] lol ...I'm voting for the King right now, aren't I? :P

I wonder how well Politican would work here.  I saw it in Chatmafia.

Concept:  It's like a reverse Kingmaker.  The players vote on a person but instead of that person being lynched they become elected.  Once elected, that person chooses who gets lynched.

So instead of choosing who is the most scummy, you choose the person who is the most 'townie'.


As for assassin.. not sure how that would work. The way they play it in chatmafia involves no talking and a mass of votes.  Tha tmay not work as well in forum mafia.
