TL Mafia wants YOU!

Fluff- Aboard spaceship Liquidia, four horrible changelings have escaped and are determined to slaughter the crew before the ship can make it home. Will the brave men and women aboard the ship succeed in defeating this threat before it consumes them and dooms this fateful expedition, or will the changelings succeed in seeding chaos and securing the ship for themselves?

Setup Information- 14 players, four of them mafia, this is a newbie setup, which means that it is restricted to certain roles and has been carefully balanced in order to maximize the enjoyment of the players. The setup is semi-open which means all possible roles are known, but their exact numbers are not.

Only extraordinary circumstances drive people to do extraordinary things. There's now a month since the storm enveloped the town of Liquidia, and completely cut off all communication with the outside world. For the first week everyone assumed the storm would pass by, but the town has now been caught in the eye of the storm for a month.

Once it became clear the townsfolk would have to survive the natural phenomenon on their own without any help, things started going down-hill. As men struggled for power and in the isolation even small annoyances became sources of burning hatred, the only pillar of stability in the community was the Town's mayor and his sheriff.

Even as the townsfolk turned on each other, the situation was tense, yet non-violent when Sandroba the mayor, and his sheriff Palmar kept the town somewhat organized and functioning.

That all changed last night. As both men never returned to their respective posts, only to be found murdered in their homes.

Now, in an emergency meeting, the most prominent citizens of Liquidia have gathered on the Town Square, trying to figure out what happened. Suddenly the tense, yet innocent, atmosphere became sullen with the weight of murders.

It seems as if the world has forgot about Liquidia. It's up to you to save it, or take it.

Setup Information: This is a closed normal setup. There are however variations of roles that can be considered non-normal. Thus you should treat this game as something of a borderline themed/normal. The distinction is somewhat hard to make, so just keep it in mind as you enter the game.

It has no explicit themes. It’s only the roles that make the game somewhat unusual. There may be more than 2 factions in the game.

This is a hard setup. It's not forgiving for any faction. Mistakes, disinterest and general incompetence can lead to a quick victory for either side. The game might even feel unbalanced if one side screws up too hard. But trust me that we've gone through like 10 iterations to get this right.

A caller game. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means a highly themed game, in which fluff is irrelevant, as the setup is so insane that it doesn't matter what you do, unexpected results are guaranteed. This is in every sense of the world a "bastard host" game.

Fluff- Newbie Mini Mafia V follows the horrific aftermath of the series of events taking place in Newbie Mini I. The pony cultist leader has emerged from hiding as he seeks to bring chaos upon the unsuspecting town of Newbieville. Nine teenagers with attitude have been selected to fight the evil pony minions. Earth's fate lies in their hands! Will Good or Evil prevail?

Setup Information- 12 players, three of them mafia, this is a newbie setup, which means that it is restricted to certain roles and has been carefully balanced in order to maximize the enjoyment of the players. The setup is semi-open which means all possible roles are known, but their exact numbers are not. It is also restricted to newer players, which means it is ideal for learning the basics without worrying too much about screwing up.

Fluff: It is the year 2120, humanity is in decadence, enslaved by a terrifying alien race, known only as the flughmofins. On earth, a small group has gathered to resist these alien oppressors and liberate humanity. Unofrtunately for them, they have been infiltrated by a team of flughmofin shapeshifters, will they be able to weed the aliens in their midst before they are wiped out? Or will the last hope of humanity perish?

Fluff- Something about pirates!

Setup Information: 12 players, semi open setup, featuring some more advanced roles like watchers, trackers and scum vigilantes, as well as the possibility of a third party serial killer (although his presence is not guaranteed). This setup has a lot of potential for interesting role interactions and lot of death.

Fluff:


Setup Info: Closed setup, 4 mafia players, 1 traitor out of a total of 20 players. That is all that is known, no role flip on death (which means alignment does flip [so you know if they were town or mafia] but not their role), PMs semi allowed, that is, you may PM up to two other people in the game.

Hello! And welcome to the TL Mafia new testing initiative! By now you must have noticed the section of TeamLiquid dovoted to playing "Mafia." And by now you must also have noticed yourself wondering what this is all about. Well don't worry Citizen of Liquidia, That is what science is here to tell you!

Some people might call Mafia "A guessing game of Epic Porportions." Well those people are not real men! Mafia is an epic game of Science and Testing! And not baby science either, this is Real Science...and testing.

Moving on.

By now most of you are ready to throw yourselves at us carelessly, but science needs direction! Part of the TL Mafia new testing initiative is to have the New Player Testing Courses up and running at all times! Helping science has never been easier! So come on over to the TL Mafia forums, where we can progress...For Science!

This concludes the prerecorded message! If you...hav..quest...ask....

GLaDOS: "That's better. I'm glad so many of you are here. You must all really love to test. I am just putting some of the finishing touches on the Aperture Mafia Testing course. I know some people would think it would take years to turn Liquidia into the largest testing chamber ever constructed. But that doesn't bother me. I'm in it for the Science. Let me open up one of those old testing courses for you. You can test there until I have obtained more test subjects.

Remember, at the end of every testing course, there will be delicious cake.

But Don't Keep me waiting."
