just another reminder that everyone must participate in the nightly (24 hr phase) voting each night... please take this into account before signing up


In my opinion you should never join a game of Mafia if you're unsure about being able to post/vote at least every 24 hours... Although something unexpected might happen of course. Nothing you can do in that case, but it still sucks for your fellow players :/

This game is filling up unbelievably fast by the way :O

When is the deadline? Is the game starting today if people sign up fast enough?

"Town wins when all non-town are eliminated. Mafia wins when all non-mafia are eliminated, or nothing can prevent this from happening."

So I guess there are no 3rd parties? At least Survivor is impossible from this wording, but something like SK might still be possible (although made less likely by the later part where only town&Mafia HP are "tracked").

Heh. Actually nevermind that last part. I read something wrong in the setup post.

By the way, is the House Lord KP silent or announced?

Roles are distributed randomly anyways. I doubt the role PMs will have any meaningful spoilers

The current starting time and player amount seem good to me. I have more time on weekends anyway. I'm somewhat open to more players though (if there is real demand).

During each night cycle, players must select someone from their individual houses to become the Lord of their house for the entirety of the upcoming cycle. Ex: Night 0, Hodor is elected lord. Hodor will be Lord during all of day 1, both day and night phase. This is done by players pming the host their vote, with plurality voting mechanics, whoever gets most votes first wins etc.


Would it make more sense to break ties randomly, rather than the first person to send in their vote? I imagine there will be a lot of 1-1 ties (or even 1-1-1) and rewarding a player based on being in a favorable time zone to send their vote in first seems a bit unfair.


Yes, I will update the OP with this later. I've been debating on whether I should do it that way or the original way. This is partially why I'm open to the idea of having more players, because it seems like that'd make ties happen less often.

I'm not going to have internet for the next couple days so I'll see you all then. As soon as I get online I'll look through the suggestions and decide on the start date.


Does the player permanently become a Lord after becoming the last remaining player of his House?

I think this system works fine as long there are 3+ players in a House. Once there are only 2 players, it gets kind of ridiculous (basically an automatic 1-1 situation unless the other player is confirmed town). When there's only 1 player left, well... It pretty much defeats the purpose of this system (no matter if he permanently becomes a Lord or loses his way of becoming a Lord).

I feel like something major should be changed in order to make this system more functional. Here are some ideas:
1) Making 5 Houses with 4 players (adding 2 new players, for example the replacements or other new players) - increasing the amount of time where the voting system mostly remains "working as intended"
2) Giving players different "vote values" with their roles - this would resolve the tie issue (these "vote values" could be balanced with the rest of balance-changing role factors)
3) Making the *requirement* for becoming a Lord to receive majority votes (2-0, 2-1 or 3-1 depending on the remaining players) - this solution would also resolve the tie issue - you'd have to decide between no Lord at all or someone else than you being Lord

Thoughts?

I like the idea of "vote values" for the 2 player houses, though.


Well, that's true I guess. Still, it feels a bit counter-intuitive that your House becomes "stronger" / better as your fellow players within the House die. That kind of encourages you to preferably get rid of your own House members first instead of other players.... And that makes the House members against each other more than against other Houses. Although maybe that somehow weirdly fits into the theme Dunno...

Maybe we should have more players after all? Looks like we have lots of new players incoming.

It's difficult to say how things will work out without knowing the roles, house distribution or how the kp are balanced, but with only 6 votes, mafia would need to control only three houses each day to control the lynch or two houses to force town to vote perfectly. Mafia can manipulate the night hits to eliminate 1-2 lords of the houses they don't control and obtain the runner-up Lordship. Furthermore, 1-2 mafia would likely get selected as Lords through the Lord selection vote. The mafia also have the option of targeting their own house with night kills to guarantee Lordship. I'm just worried things might spiral out of control with mafia having too much influence in the day cycle too quickly.


I agree that it seems a bit too advantageous for Mafia to probably get majority in the voting by D3-D4. Although this problem might fade away if we increase the player amount, I guess.

So we have 3 excess players right now... I'm open to waiting a bit more and starting with more players, although I'd prefer starting sooner rather than later (more RL obligations approaching in the near future :/).

Btw if the vote value idea gets implemented, I think the values should be hidden. Maybe they should also be completely random in order to avoid setup/balance WIFOM... That might seem like "just luck", but actually it's not when you know what you got beforehand. It's completely different to play poker compared to rolling a dice, for example Any feedback on this? At the moment, I think it's a better solution than full random tie results or rewarding the faster voter, but it's hard to say how it might play out in practice.

Requiring a majority to elect a Lord (my third idea earlier)... Not so sure about that one anymore. It could result in too many Houses not electing a Lord at all. Any feedback anyway?

This was originally how I had it set up. I might change it to this because I think that's more interesting, but with the extra players per house a change isn't needed.

actually fuck it imma do it. that was how i originally wanted to do things, yall just gonna have to cope with the extra in-house tension


Haha okay. At least that removes the "luck factor" and possible timezone advantage. The worst case scenario, though, is Mafia forcing non-elections where they can't win - but on the other hand, it's too dangerous to do that too clearly What about the vote value idea? And what happens when someone is the last remaining player in a House?

Monday is okay with me. Sign up people! (Btw what's so bad about weekend starts? More people AFK at the start?)
