star wars empire registration thread

Posted June 7, 2012 by Trever Leingod

Register here for Star Wars Empire. Please read the rules in the document above. If you like the regular Mafia game and you liked Star Wars Republic, you should like this version of the game too. It is NOT the same game as Star Wars Republic, so please look over the changes - there are differences besides just the role names.

I talked to Yeano about a second game and he was on for it. Yeano, if you changed your mind, let me know, but maybe we can keep this up for registration for a later game?

I'm gonna have to think on this one. No sure my playing is a good idea at this point, particularly is Red and Dooku play again, as they should.

Probably should let things simmer down.

I disagree, you shouldn't stop playing. I was already annoyed at the host stuff before you even did what you did, you just provided the proof that it's a bad idea.

Personally I'm only ever going to play mafia again if it's made an official rule (and actually upheld) that when people play they are either host OR player. None of this making people a host after death.

What needs to happen is that Xhin needs to fix the loophole I exploited. Second, there needs to be a way for Yeano to give and remove panel access when we have guests hosts, so Xhin doesn't have to be bothered with this stuff. Then, only the hosts would be able to add/remove rolls of any kind.

As far as hosts themselves making extra hosts, I think Trever learned the hard way(not that it's fault).

Whether or not it is made an official rule, I will not make or allow anyone to be host but myself, and naturally Yeano. If I spy anyone making themselves a host again, I will be sure to report in the Mod forum.

... that I used throughout the game is directly copied from the role panel. Beside each name is a drop down box showing every person's role. If I see anyone else besides myself as "Host", I know someone was tampering with it.

Congrats to the Winners.

I posted this here:

[p:66646]

But in case no one going there, I'm posting it here.

Not going to drag this out, but I feel this needs to be said.

1. If you're a Host, you should not be allowed to play. Either play or host, not both at the same time.

2. If you're dead you should only be allowed to talk in the Dead Thread.

3.If Night Talk is allowed (and I don't think it should be) on players that are still alive should be allow to talk in the main thread.

4. Yeano said before this game started that points earned in the SW Mafia game would not be counted in the Regular Mafia Game totals. We all knew that. He needs to stand by that decision.

5. Only Xhin (it's his site) Yeano and Trever (for SW) should be allowed to appoint Host.

We're taking what is one of the best features that has been added to this site and slowly fucking it up.

Love the mafia game (not very good at it, but love to play) but I will need to give it some thought as to rather I will play the next game.

You, Feral and Roxas MIGHT not play, and you three are consistent players. It's unlikely we can replace three players should you not play this time around.

@Trever, If you feel my post above is to off topic for this thread and since I did post it in another thread, please feel free to tag it.

It's fine, it should be seen here too. {:)}

Erm... if everything is settled, i'd like to try this.

Unless Yeano or Xhin okays you, I'm afraid you cannot play this time either {:?}

The Bandit

After thinking about it for a few hours, I've decided to join in for the Empire game.

June 7, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

I *might* be playing. Not sure yet.

I don't really think there's an issue with having additional hosts besides trever and yeano who can at least see the whole game while they're not playing. IIRC Yeano did it for Feral and LLight when they weren't playing a few games ago, and per tradition I do it to myself every time I die.

The real problem is people posting game-sensitive information where players can see it, and that's true of both hosts and dead players.

I really don't think hosts of any type (except the person hosting the game) should be able to post in the Dead thread, because there's widespread outside-of-game discussion going on, and this would allow dead people to relay information from hosts to still-alive players. Similarly, the people in the dead thread shouldn't be allowed to reveal game-sensitive information in general.

I see the dead thread as being a good place to still discuss and theorize on the game without automatically knowing everything.

Of course this is really up to Yeano.

Sky's the limit

I don't really think there's an issue with having additional hosts besides trever and yeano who can at least see the whole game while they're not playing.

Like I said before, I won't be playing if this is the case, so I'd really like to know what is decided. I don't think it's fair at all.

June 7, 2012
Edit
The Bandit

That is, I don't want someone who has died to become host. If they were never playing in the first place then I don't care as much, but I still don't think it's a great idea to tell a bunch of people all the roles. : /

I'll sign up so Redack can. I must admit that I am aprehensive, though. I hope I can finally get through a game without causing a catasthophy.

This time, I am not going anywhere near the Mafia panel. I will not host myself, nor will I accept any requests to make others host.

"game while they're not playing."

I think the key word here was "not playing"

I agree with The Bandit. You either play or you host.

Jabba the Hutt? No, I wanted to add the Hutt cult in but I wasn't sure how to mix that in. We still have Boba Fett though, and all the big cast from the original Star Wars trilogy.

June 8, 2012
Edit
Trever Leingod

I don't know if I want to play Trever's version of mafia again... I've said previously that I'm not as fond as having so damn many "special roles", and also wasn't thrilled with a fair number of the choices he made as host. Plus, there's Redack deciding that I'm an angry player and Roxas straight-up going into business for himself at the expense of his team.

June 8, 2012
Edit
hezekiah

You're free to bring any comments or complaints to me, as I welcomed them in the opening post. Please be very clear to what bothered you.

I have said it quite a few times though, about what mistakes I realize I made this past game, and that I would attempt to change that next game. You must remember, I have NEVER played or even been involved in this game before that last set of rounds, so I was hosting almost entirely on instinct, with no game experience at all. I know I wasn't a fantastic but I could have been much worse.

June 8, 2012
Edit
Trever Leingod

One thing you may want to take a look at.

If I'm counting right, in the next game there are a total of 18 roles. 16 of those are Power or Special roles. Right now there are 16-17 signed up to play.

June 8, 2012
Edit
chiefsonny
 

I count 9 townie power roles, 6 mafia power roles and 2 third-party power roles. So 17 power roles altogether. The other 2 roles are regular roles with no powers.

But do note that the Mafia (Rebels as they will be called) will likely only start with 3 people like the Sith did last time, with the other three roles reserved for converts.

June 8, 2012
Edit
Trever Leingod

I wanted to see how things would go should a player decide to do as I did. As you can see, it almost worked to the tee. Unfortunately, I fucked up my own game at the end. Each player can decide what they want to do to reach the end of the game and ultimately win. I see no issue with what my actions were.

June 8, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

Roxas is right. It is just a GAME. I don't think people should start hating Roxas for trying to win at it, that's the purpose of it anyway.

June 8, 2012

Trever Leingod

Remember, I would have done the same thing Roxas did if I wasn't killed by the Sith.

June 8, 2012
Edit
Zanic

No, 85. The only people who will "modwatch" the game are Trever, who is hosting, and Yeano, who's forum this is. There will be NO other people with host access.

Come on, Hezekiah! Maybe you will get a good role this time! You said you would have more time to play, plus there is now a 24 hour minimum time limit per day round and night round. Trever is working hard to get all the cricks out, so the game will run smoothly this time.

June 8, 2012

Feral

After some careful thought, I can't play this.. can you please take my name off the list.

June 8, 2012

Helius

Question: When do you plan on starting this game, Trever?

June 8, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

Actually, I just realized that unfortunately it wouldn't be fair for me to take part in this game. I'm going on a 5-day trip around the 11th/12th/13th of this month, and it will severely inhibit my ability to play. Especially if I have a valuable role.

June 8, 2012

Count Dooku

We should start before everyone quits.

June 8, 2012
Edit
The Bandit

We have a problem, don't we? We are WAY down on players...

June 8, 2012
Edit
Feral

So we now have 15 players and 17 power roles.

I don't know if it's a good idea now.

chiefsonny
 

The bigger issue for me, Zanic, is the format of the game. I'd prefer to see fewer special roles, less hidden information.

But that's Mafia in general =/ Regular Mafia has MORE roles than the Star Wars one! Come on man, try one more time. I learned a lot since the last game and everything should be set to play much better this time.

I don't know if it's a good idea now.

_< Ah geez, maybe I should delay this a few days then. A bunch of people will be busy the next few days and I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and perhaps a family visit the day after. Hopefully everyone will have a clear schedule soon and more people will want to play.

@Hezekiah,

From what I've been told, proper mafia has loads more roles that Yeano has currently used and that a typical game will have most players be some kind of power role...

I also don't want to get stuck playing basic townie all the time which would happen with fewer powe roles...

June 9, 2012
Edit
Redack

I have started out as a townie every single game except one where I was the double voter but died early on due to talking while silenced.

June 9, 2012

I would actually want to see MORE power roles, because regular old townies have absolutely nothing to do during Night Rounds.

June 9, 2012

I personally don't mind being a normal Townie, because it takes a lot of the pressure off and you can still take an active role in trying to figure the game out.

As it stands we have, what, fifteen people? That many people, I suppose we could have four Rebels to start the game, while eleven or so are part of the Empire. The Rebels could have three special roles to start and the Empire has four or five specials. That seems fair to me, but it's Trever's call at the end of the day.

Well the weekend is just about over and it looks like there has not been a lot of movement towards getting people to sign up, so I would like to ask this of all the reg Mafia players as well as the new ones.

If you have not signed up to play, for what ever reason, please do so.

Yeano decided to let Trever host 2 SW Mafia games as part of his Jedi Sith 10th Anniversary plans he has for his forum.

Trever has worked hard on this and I think deserves our support.

Also remember we get points for this game that will go towards our regular Mafia Game totals.

So come on guys, lets give Trever our support and make this a success for him.{:D}
