We should build a giant wall to keep all the lurkers out.

Sounds possible. Mafia would have to justify why they're not helping solve the puzzles. Unless the "trap" could kill mafia too.

Game balance would be difficult. You'd have to estimate how many times town would be able to solve the puzzles.


The puzzles don't have to factor into balancing. My vision for such a game would be something like:

You have to pick teams at the start of the day (or they are randomly selected/use similar mechanics for 999 to select them. that sounds complicated. would probably stick with having people pick in order to save me headaches.) Then you are presented with a puzzle. Whichever team can solve the puzzle first gets a boon.

As long as the rewards aren't stupid, then it's just an added on gimmick.

I could run this game eventually if people are sufficiently interested.

After the next ones that have been dibsed (E.g LockeZ's) I'd love to run another one, hopefully I'm not sick this time though!

This is the thing I'm most proud of having done. XD

That sounds sweet - I hope you run it in the future!

@Kloe If you don't mind I'd like to go after Lockez instead. I'll leave it up to you though :P I have an idea for a mafia, but most of the groundwork for it has to be a secret for it to work right. >.>

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

Kloe, you just held one. Don't be greedy.

The Dangan Ronpa game will... Probably happen around this fall or something. I don't know what mafia games will be happening then, but seeing as it was always meant to be separate from the normal mafia games I guess it doesn't really matter.
I've decided. Mine will be One Piece mafia. It shall be glorious and Pizza will join.

I'm looking forward to that unless "One Piece" means I have to wear a bathing suit and not refering to One Piece the anime...
Jokes aside, sounds good, Final Fantasmafia then Cap/Gourd then One Piece then Romance Mafia!! Sounds amazing!

I don't wanna make another post so I'll just clarify, Romance Mafia is what my next one will be! :D

Romance Mafia?
I hope someone incorporates Mason-like mechanics sometime soon, those are fun.

welcome to everyone is a mason mafia! every single player is in a 2-person masonry with every other player in the game. over 100 masonries! no one is confirmed! mason-swapping powers! a golden snitch that flies through all the masonries, catch it for several boons! i'm going to cut my own head off!
XD That may be a bit extreme, cave.

Er, nevermind. I'll just show myself the door.

How would a mafia game where every player has some kind of role/power work? I'm thinking of hosting a Pokemon-themed mafia where every player, town and mafia alike, has a "pokemon" that represents a game-changing power they can use.

like a normal game. it would just be harder to balance.

in breath of fire mafia, everyone had a power

Would restricting certain powers from mafia (as in, mafia can't get a role that allows them an additional kill every night) help alleviate balancing issues?

Or I guess I could check out Breath of Fire Mafia to see how it was done.
