Yes. And yes.

Piggybacking off this question:
Is this half open setup (roles are known but which ones and how many aren't)?
Also, a question to the TL Mafia people in general: the in standard way for mafia to communicate night actions through pms?
I'm not sure since I've only read games and some QuickTopics, but never any mafia pm threads if such things exist.
Yes, this will be a half-open setup. Roles that are not in the role list will not be in the game. Roles that are listed in the role list may or may not be in the game. All role PMs will be copies of the descriptions from the role list.
Most Mafia teams do communicate through PMs, though quicktopics, IRC, instant messenger, or other methods have been used as well. It is pretty much up to the Mafia members to decide which method(s) they prefer.

Will we know how many scum are in the game, or is that closed info too?
|
You will because you will have your team mates listed in your role PM.
BAM!
That's right

Yes. 9 town vs. 3 scum.

@Qatol Thanks
@Probulous Oh no! You caught me already! XD Too bad the game hasn't started yet, or I'd fear for the other scum.
|
Just to say, I am allowing more experienced players to sign up as replacements, though newer players will have priority when replacing into the game.
|
Is this a night start or day start?
|
/in
First time playing mafia, hope this will be fun and i am not too stupid.
|
If PMs are not allowed in this game, how would Mafia communicate with each other? Or does that only refer to Day PM's?
|
Wow, this game filled up much quicker than I expected! Qatol and I were considering making this a 15-player game rather than 12 to allow for greater flexibility in set-ups and to allow more newbies to play. What do you guys think about this? Would you prefer the game to start sooner, or would you be okay with waiting a day or two to see if we get any more sign-ups?

This is open to change, but right now I'm thinking day start. Mostly because I didn't want someone to go through the trouble of signing up, only to be killed off before they get to post anything or participate in the game.

The Mafia are allowed to PM each other and only each other. No one else is allowed to PM anyone. That's all that "no-PMs" means. In other games on TL Mafia where PMs are allowed, that means that everyone can PM everyone at any time. For a newbie game, it's generally better to have no-PMs, except for Mafia coordination, so that most of the game goes on in the open rather than in PMs between players.

Eh dreamflower i think u missed out my signup.

dreamflower, I think it's better to keep it at 12. 15 is 3 more filters to read and generally more time required to put into the game. As many people already underestimate the time required to put in I feel it's smarter to make them replacements or get another newbie game running.
|
The sooner this one starts the sooner there can be another newbie game. If you open it up more you'll end up with a 30 person game trying to accommodate everyone.
Mostly, I just want to start sooner because I'm excited.

I too would prefer maintaining the 12-player setup.

When you say the Godfather has to be chosen by the end of Day 1, I assume that includes Night 1?
Also: except for mafia goons and townies, can we assume that there can't be any more than 1 of all the other blue and red roles? For example, we don't know if there's a Miller or not, but we can assume there aren't 2 or more of them... same with DT, role-blocker, etc.? Or do we not even know that, just the 9/3 town/scum ratio?
|
I would like to join this mafia if you allow more players. It would be my first game and I'm excited to play
But I don't mind if you can go on with the current setup. It seems that most players want to start playing now, so it's up to them. I'll spectate then There's always a next time I guess

No, Godfather (if there is one in the setup - Mafia will obviously be informed of this when the game starts) must be chosen before the end of the day 1 lynch. It's less confusing for the hosts if we know who the Godfather is before we start getting check requests from detectives.
You cannot assume that there can't be more than 1 of any role. All you know is the 9/3 ratio.
