Lylo and Mylo warnings? Also
Are you asking them to do, or do not, include the roles in the second batch?

They're fine to include.
3rd party win conditions are fine too. If for example the Traitor/Town Sibling/Lover duo end up holding a majority, they can kill the last two townies and have a sibling win.
It's just when we toss in a bunch of other random mechanics things get less like real Mafia and people lose interest. We're supposed to fight and argue and debate and scumhunt and manipulate the crap out of eachother.
LyLo is lynch or lose. A mod edits the topic title to say 'Title Mafia - Day X (LYLO)'.
If the town does not lynch a scum (or relevant cult/enemy organization) that day, the town will lose on lynch because the scum/enemy will hold an immediate majority.
MyLo is 'maybe lynch or lose'. If the town mislynches on that day, depending on how night actions carry out, the enemy can get a majority with night actions and win the game.
Hell, now I really feel like hosting a game, hm.

If we're going to host another mafia game, I ask that the host please tune down the role madness.
Keep the roles plain and not convoluted. SK, Vig, Cult, Siblings/Lovers are all ok mechanics. Bring in cops, doctors, trackers, watcher, governors/pm forgers, copycats, redirectors, whatever.
Leave as little guesswork and meta speculation available as you can. Themed games are nice, but don't put anyone roleclaiming at a disadvantage if you can help it.
Edit: Also, LyLo or MyLo warnings are cool too.

You might not want to play in one of my games, then. My games are like the Joker's plan from The Dark Knight, except that was simple.
Shiri2010-11-05 05:44:24
Just for the record, I have a really good setup I'm playing in another forum right now. It's not no smalltown where all the roles are known down to the person except the scum, but all the roles actually in the game are known before the game starts, so people might not be completely lost and hopeless. PM if anyone hosting wants the setup info!
Tekora2010-11-09 18:22:09
Thread Updated with current information. Also... as I've been asking for the past 6 months... STICKY THIS THREAD, SHIRI!

Thinking of hosting a game after Casilu's unless someone else has dibs.
It'll be a flavourful, themed setup related to Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, a great set of japanese visual novels.
It'll play different from the other games that have been hosted before - a few new rules to help game flow and the implementation of MyLo and LyLo notifications in particular. The game will have flavour (seriously, it's an amazing series) and I'm trying to give everyone some sort of power without totally knocking everything off of balance. The setting can handle a fairly large number of players.
tl;dr: wanting to host

Gotta wait. I have dibs after Shiri for my Investigation themed game. Don't worry though, it's a small game, and the current game seems to be a quick one.
Shiri2010-11-18 16:43:07
I'm not hosting, go ahead.
Tekora2010-11-19 17:43:28
Queue updated to add Furien to the back of the line, and dropping my own game back because it's not finished and not running any time soon.
Also, requesting sticky. Again.

Add me to the list please.
Tekora2010-11-19 17:52:46
Done
Mirami2010-11-19 18:09:14
I've finally... Finalized, the game that I was making, so I'm good to go after Casilu's ends.
EDIT: I'll go after Gleip, since his game is apparently pretty quick.

I think I will have a go at trying to host one...hopefully I'm better at hosting then playing.
Add me to the end of the list please.

Put me down for one, slim. It might be of the theme: overly offensive mafia.
Tekora2010-11-23 14:37:12
Alright, putting Casilu down, but remember that you'll have to wait 4 games before another one of yours runs again, as per the rules.
Mirami2010-12-08 22:11:02
Seeing as Gleip's is done-- my game is ready to go. Should I start a signup thread today, or wait a day?

You can go ahead and start, I think!
Ssaliss2011-01-12 15:59:57
How long is the waiting list? Got a few ideas for mafia games, but I figure I want a bit more experience (and perhaps even play scum for once) before I host one.

Doooo it.
Kiradawea2011-01-12 17:01:00
Whomever is up next should start a sign up thread for his or her game.
Also Tekora, mind adding that my next theme will be "Blazing Yggdra Uni(s)on".

Okay, I've decided I want to host a game. The list is long enough for me to hopefully get a better feel for mafia games. Sign me up at the end of the list! The theme can best be described as "Reversals".
