Okay, this looks awesome. It's not really Mafia in the sense of "informed minority vs uninformed majority" sort of thing, but it's more like... maximally multifactional mafia with interesting night mechanics, politics, and alliances.

I like it.

WBG, you know I will not be replaced :D

I think I'll fly solo this game, thanks though. If you don't have time to /in on your own, then I'd be okay with it, but I won't need any help staying active I think <3

Hmmmm, I might need to sign up for this.

Questions:

What happens when a player wins? Say there's three players left, A, B, and C. A is allied to both B and C. B and C are not allied to each other. That means player A has 'won'. So, does he just get removed, or does he get to keep playing after he's won, or how does that work?

Can I break the game by having everyone ally with everyone else at the beginning of the game and start some kind of happy commune?

I like the way you're thinking.

That's my plan this game.

BM and solstice seem like they want to hydra together but are coyly dancing around the topic like first-time lovers. <3

do I need to read the rules?

It's a pretty standard setup; lynch scum, win. No need to fret about whether it's utterly totally different than every other mafia game

Yeah but it's not about informed minority vs uninformed majority, the core conflict of mafia. This game is only loosely a game of mafia, it's more like... a mafia-esque game. Fun, though! Just not Palmar's bucket of oysters, so to speak.

Lvdr, I'd recommend playing through a newbie game before trying this out, unless you've played forum mafia before. This is a pretty complex and unusual ruleset. That being said, I won't discourage you if you feel like you'll be able to be active, understand the rules, and help provide a fun play experience. Just a heads-up.

I think even with ET we have room for one more. It's been quite the wait but I'm excited. I'd offer cohost but I lost my AoE cd some time ago-- I'll have to stick to playing and enjoying this awesome setup.

One of you knows you should use your early alliance thing on me. <3 you know who you are, we'll make a great team. I'm good when I'm not scum.

I'll be using it on you, so use it on me. I'm not gonna say who you are, though, for obvious reasons. But you know.

My only hint for you is that, you are the person besides me in this game who really appreciates what a great sim game AoE is. If you think about it, a sim game that's unlike civ (with it's capitals, etc) is a great sim. Not a lot of people played it!

I didn't play AoE. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Also if you turn me down, I get it. I'm just sad. Sorry for the triple post, got to go, I don't post much anyways, there's no secret guy, but there is, and I know, and you know, and this should have told you but it didn't...

Well, we could discuss the setup amiably. There's nothing much else to discuss since factions aren't made yet (as far as you know! Secret buddy might have allied me back!). I personally think the lynch is mostly going to be a tool used by multiple alliances and stragglers against whichever alliance is the strongest, or if one player starts to run away with the game. If you think about it, in like a 4-team game where each team has 3 players, if someone starts a wagon on a guy, everyone who's not on his team might as well vote for him.

I don't see any real benefit to a no-lynch. It makes sense to use the lynch to stop the strongest players in terms of night (armies, etc) since all the votes can get behind that, but even if we don't, it's almost always a good idea to use the lynch.

Actually, if hydras could make their sigs like "hydra of john and bob" or whatever that'd be the best.

Also meditteranean is for losers, and i'm not a loser. This is a unique and fun game, and you're gonna walk down the middle of the road like that? way to be l4m3
