The [g]Dreamer[/g] is a person with the power of precognitive dreams! Every night, as they are sleeping oh-so-peacefully, they will have a not-so-peaceful dream: they will get to see the gruesome death of whoever the Mafia chooses to kill! Yay! Actually, they get to see it three separate times with three separate people killing the victim, but only one of those three will be a Mafia member. Both the [r]Godfather[/r] and the [r]Traitor[/r] can be chosen as the one Mafia member, but the Dreamer will not dream of themselves.

Note: The dreams will be entirely randomized each night, and will happen as I end the night round.

Next up is the [g]Oracle[/g], who has powers of divination. Unfortunately for them, these powers only manifest after they are nightkilled. Each night, the Oracle will have the opportunity to select any player. When the Oracle is nightkilled, the identity of the player they selected that night will be revealed to the entire Town in the morning. Unfortunately, the Oracle's power is a little limited: they get a glimpse of the player's identification papers, and both the [r]Godfather[/r] and the [r]Traitor[/r] have papers identifying themselves as a normal [g]Townie[/g], so they are essentially immune.

That's not all! The Mafia have also recruited some new members to get rid of you all, so let's meet our new favorite killers. First off is the [r]Ballot Forger[/r]. This Mafia member has the ability to take your vote and switch it to be for whoever they like! They have to do it during the night before, though, so they better have some sense of who they want to get lynched before the day round starts! Since they're changing your ballot, you will not know that your vote has been swapped.

Finally, we have the [r]Traitor[/r]. This person is a normal Townie, but they're working for the Mafia because screw the rest of you guys. They do not participate in Mafia discussions, nor do they get a nightkill. Heck, they don't even get their own thread! Their goal is a little difficult in that they don't actually know who the Mafia are, and the Mafia don't actually know who they are. They show up as Mafia in the Town-Mafia ratio and so they [b]must[/b] be eliminated if the Town is to win (even if all the Mafia members are dead).

In addition to all the new arrivals, we have an old role that we haven't played with for a while (and it hasn't been added to the role list above), so I'm going to re-introduce you to the [g]Lovers[/g]. These two are madly in love and can communicate in their own thread, but if one of them dies, the other one dies of a broken heart. :'( So sad. On the plus side, between the two of them they have one [b]Bulletproof Vest[/b] (with TWO uses), so each night they get to choose which of them will be safe from being nightkilled!

Welcome, everyone, to another wonderful game of death and deceit! I'm sure you're all anxious to get to the lying-your-teeth-out part, but there are a few things we have to go over before we begin. First, I went a little crazy and included a few new roles, just for fun, so here they are:

The Dreamer is a person with the power of precognitive dreams! Every night, as they are sleeping oh-so-peacefully, they will have a not-so-peaceful dream: they will get to see the gruesome death of whoever the Mafia chooses to kill! Yay! Actually, they get to see it three separate times with three separate people killing the victim, but only one of those three will be a Mafia member. Both the Godfather and the Traitor can be chosen as the one Mafia member, but the Dreamer will not dream of themselves.

Each night, the Oracle will have the opportunity to select any player. When the Oracle is nightkilled, the identity of the player they selected that night will be revealed to the entire Town in the morning. Unfortunately, the Oracle's power is a little limited: they get a glimpse of the player's identification papers, and both the Godfather and the Traitor have papers identifying themselves as a normal Townie, so they are essentially immune.

After a quiet night, the Town wakes up and goes about their daily business. Slowly but surely, a rumor spreads among the townspeople, whispers of a snake in the grass. Sure enough, one of your members discovers a message written in blood on the side of the Town Hall building: THE MAFIA IS HERE.

Just a little rant.

I have a real bad cold and have not been able to sleep to well, so to keep mind off feeling sorry for my self, last night I went back and looked at all the roles and a lot of the post in every Mafia Game we've had since Yeano brought it to GTX0.

The first game registration started 5 Feb. 2012. And when the game started there were 17 players.
How time flies when you're having fun.
And I like a lot of you have played in every game.
That's one of the reasons when asked if I want to host, I pass. I love playing and I have a record to protect{;)}

But now for the purpose of my post. When did we stray so far away from the roles that we had in the first several games.

It seems we've replaced the
Cop/Sheriff
Doctor
Vigilante
Arsonist
Governor
Silencer
Thug
Executioner
Assassin
Journalist
FBI Agent

And now we have the likes of:
Oracle: who has the powers of God
Voodoo Lady
Outsider
Psychiatrist
Dreamer
The Lovers(facepalm)

What's next?
Gypsy fortune tellers
Drag Queens

Now I know that every Host has a right to do what they want with their game. And b4 anyone say's "Well why don't you host and stop whining" I covered that above.

I would just like to see this game start moving back to it's roots.

February 10, 2013

chiefsonny

Maybe I'll go into more detail when the game is over, but here goes:

For me, a big part of the fun of every game is figuring out how each of the roles works with one another. I noticed that in previous games with no new roles to discuss, activity has been very limited over the early rounds of the game. Part of that may be due to a loss of interest (which is another reason to try to keep the games fresh), while other times it seems to have something to do with the fact that people just don't know what to talk about. If you would prefer that each game seem almost like a carbon copy of each other, that's fine, and maybe the next Host can take that into account.

On top of that, there are specific reasons not to include many of the older roles in the game. People have complained that the Cop and Doctor (and especially the combination thereof) have gotten stale. A number of people have said they hate the Silencer. The Thug gets screwed over every game. The Executioner worked well its first game but has become pretty much defunct since we figured out how to negate its powers. This is a small game that has the chance to end quickly anyway, so extra killing roles like the Vig/Arsonist/Assassin/FBI Agent would have just made that worse. I guess I'm just not understanding what your problem is with these other roles (except the Voodoo Lady--that one sucked) since their effect on the game, while different, really is just a twist on roles we have already.

I would like to apologize to white lancer our host and new Executive Host and to the other players for the post I made above. While it is the way I feel, it was not the right time to post it. I should have waited until the game was over.

White lancer, please feel free to tag or delete the post.

Again, I apologize.

February 10, 2013

Edit

chiefsonny

Well, I think I've made up my mind about who I will be voting for this day.

February 10, 2013

Edit

`Roxas`

Chief, I accept the apology and there are no hard feelings. You're definitely free to feel the way you feel and to post criticisms and preferences about it, but I do think those are better saved for the end of the game and I hope that it doesn't mean you're unwilling to give this game/these roles a chance.

Besides, I don't completely disagree with you--I probably did introduce too many new roles this game. There are two that I really, really wish I hadn't included, not because I think they're bad roles, but because I don't think they work well with this setup--one is somewhat overpowered, while the other seems a bit superfluous, and I think the game would have more potential to be a good one if they weren't involved. I've even considered removing the two of them, but I'm worried that it might throw people off.

February 10, 2013

Edit

white lancer

For the record, I think expanding our roles is important. I was getting a little tired of the standard cop-doctor, silencer-janitor playbook.

Lets just give the new roles a chance this game. If we utterly hate them (Voodoo Lady), we know whats what next time {:P}

February 10, 2013

Edit

Count Dooku

Although it would be nice to bring the Cop/Doctor and Silencer/Janitor back in a future game, if only for one game. And perhaps we could implement rules wherein the Doctor cannot save the same person twice in a row and cannot save himself, and the Silencer cannot silence the same person twice.

February 11, 2013

Edit

Black Yoshi

and I hope that it doesn't mean you're unwilling to give this game/these roles a chance.

I signed up to play and I will play the role I have to the best of my ability.

To the other players, I know I started this with that dumb ass post, but could we all refrain from talking about it during the game. I feel bad enough as it is for what I did.
I'm sure white lancer will give us a lot of time to give our input before another game starts.

Thanks.

February 11, 2013

Jo Nathan

Hmmm...something about Roxas' vote strikes me as odd -- it's as if he threw down a vote for the first person he could think of. We weren't even a day into this round when he threw down his vote, leave alone this is only the first round. If I remember right, last game Hezy jumped that gun and look where it got us -- we lost a Townie in the first round, and damned nearly gave the game to the Mafia. Not to mention the fact that Hezy himself actually was Mafia.

This time we have far fewer vanilla Townies compared to Town-sided power roles, so there's a far better chance that such a vote could bring down the Oracle or Dreamer and kill our chances of picking out the Mafia.

February 11, 2013

Edit

Black Yoshi

I'm against voting for Roxas. At least for the time being. I don't know why this happens, but every time I'm innocent and someone suspects me out of the blue, they always turn out to be innocent. Frustro in... game 8, was it? And Roxas in the game after that. Lancer in the Halloween game.

I'd hate to think the streak is broken and Roxas really is guilty this time. But even worse if we vote for him and he turns out to be a town-sided power role.

I'm a plain vanilla townie so it would be better to vote me off than anyone else who might be innocent.

February 11, 2013

Edit

Jo Nathan

That's true, but remember that the last time someone voted for anyone just out of the blue, it was Hezy voting for me and he turned out to be Mafia. And I remember a few games where the first person voted out was a Townie or Town-sided role, and that person was voted out on the whim of a Mafioso. At least that's the pattern I've been seeing anytime someone votes someone off in the first round.

February 11, 2013

Edit

Black Yoshi

JN's post strikes me as pretty suspicious in that "someone accusing me when I'm innocent is also innocent" seems like a tactic just to stick it in our minds that he is innocent. And then a role reveal (even if it is just vanilla townie) this early? When no one else had mentioned it?

Also, historical precedent for something as simple as an accusation does not nearly proof make. Perhaps they're both Mafia and are setting this up.

Either way I'm seriously contemplating voting for JN here.

February 11, 2013

Edit

White Thunder

"someone accusing me when I'm innocent is also innocent"

Yeah, I was afraid I'd be giving that impression. Truth is, I had noticed that pattern a while ago and never brought it to light in previous games because 1) I'd never be able to play that card again in any future Mafia game, 2) what if I turn out to be wrong, and 3) I might look suspicious by doing it.

I went for it this time because it's only the first round and if it does get me killed, at least I drew attention away from someone who might have a power role.

Now that I think of it, and especially after reading through what people have said in the hours I've been trying to get on with the gtx0.com URL, it may just be a wiser move at this point to not kill anyone. After all, Roxas could very well be Mafia, but he could just as easily be one of the Lovers.
