Dr Who Mafia~?
« on: November 01, 2008, 07:26:45 PM »
So! Recovering from the trainwreck that was Geass Mafia, how's about... Mafia based around Dr Who? I was looking at a comfortably simple game, with no role-setup: everyone's either vanilla or scum... and... anonymous spirit to it. To defeat the metagame, y'see.

Looking for seven players.

Select any of Doctor Who's companions from this list, and submit a second choice in case someone else hiveminded you and did the same thing! (of course you PM me, rather than post here or you'll defeat the anonymity :x)

I understand the entire lack of roles may be ghastly, but hey! Look at it this way: it just means you have to rely on your wits rather than the fact that someone could or could not be a role.

PS: I'd need a co-mod just for hammering etc. when I'm not around.

Sign-Ups:
1) Donna Noble
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)

Argh, so tempting, but no time. Bah.

Comment from the peanut gallery, though: with less than 11 players, why not use Doctors?

No time for Doctor Who. Do you realize the irony inherent in that sentiment?

As well, I figure a game with no roles would be interesting▬it'd mean scum's sole downfall would be their inability to hide their identity or get caught by players. No "surprise I copped you har har" or "SURPRISE ITS NOT LYLO BECAUSE YOU FUMBLED THE KILL ^___^" or anything. At the same time, players won't be affected by their roles▬they'll play without any special knowledge or reservations about keeping alive to the end-game because of roles or whatever.

Also, the game will last exactly three days at most in this scenario:

7 players. Mislynch: 6 remain.
Murder: 5 remain.
Mislynch: 4 remain.
Murder: 3 remain.
LYLO.

Oh, I'm all for the no-powers play. The only game I've run had the same setup. I was just wondering why you went with seven companions for the roles instead of seven incarnations of the Doctor.

... Oh, I got that as in the Doctor power role, haha. The Doctor and TARDIS are integral to the lynching process and the setup theme, so I can't have someone play them. Otherwise, I would need to have the Doctors reason out a way to kill eachother, and something in me tells me that the Doctor is somehow crafty enough to find some manner of way of weasling himself out of such a situation, given his personality.

Part of me wanted to have an all-villains game with the Doctor being the "scum". :D

Seven is pretty tight. Could you try for nine instead?

Sure. I'm willing to go for nine players, but I was watching the Simpsons Mafia thing and noted there weren't a lot of signups. I was afraid many would be running out of juice for Mafia, so was aiming for a low number intentionally to encourage people to sign up more.

It may not be much of a comfort, but roleless mafia? If I could, I'd sign up twice.

Hey, I have my first sign-up▬success is within grasps.

Also note that if you cannot play because of whatever reason (burned out, tired, shagged silly or just plain disinterest) but would like to co-mod for those times that hammers fall when I'm not there... Contact me.

Promise I won't make it as trainwrecky as Geass modding (which fell at an inconvenient time, and I thus blame that inconvenience fully for all lulzworthy events in the modding there).

I don't think it'll blow off that quick, as I only have one sign-up now... (YES), but sure. Co-Mod Get.

... Neat.

So reviving this because uh, yeah, I guess I'd like to see role-less anonymous mafia happening.

Seven or nine players, will commence once:

A) Enough sign-ups are gathered
B) No other games are running or about to run

So if French Revo meets its preferred number of players before this one does this one's stalled for later.

Uuuuuuh, yeah, if Donna Noble is still interested she should like, PM me to confirm she's still in. Rest of you folk, just PM me the character you're using.

Any character can be used, I've decided to change it somewhat. Yes, even villains.

Even a Dalek.


PS: Who's got the passes to the anonymous accounts for the last anonymous games?

Finding a co-mod is easier than finding players.

But now that Pokémafia's died you can all pretend to be burned up and sign up for ELEMENT OF SURPRISE everyone!
