def Posted September 19, 2014 Want to play mafia on Eurobricks but have no experience? Already a player, but want to play a simple, no frills mafia game? This is your chance. Anybody can play, but you must be willing to be online daily for the course of the game, which will occur over most of October. Post here with your desire to play, as well as if you are a male or a female character. Looking forward to some new blood! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piratedave84 Posted September 19, 2014 If ever you need more people by the end of sign ups I would not mind playing; I'll give precedence to the newer players though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StickFig Posted September 19, 2014 I'm in... been waiting for a Mafia School for a bit. P.S. - I suppose I'll play a male character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Settle Posted September 19, 2014 I'll play, I have wanted to get in to Mafia for a while.. I'd prefer to be a male character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintobor Posted September 19, 2014 I wouldn't mind giving mafia a try if you need people. Despite being male, you can seriously toss me a male or female character and I'll run with either, I really don't care all that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLazyChicken Posted September 20, 2014 If you fail this game, you can't play anymore? If so, I won't join but if it isn't that way, I will join! I would also like to be a male character. I really need some practice on this mafia type of games, I want to see how I can improve too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mencot Posted September 21, 2014 I could also sign up for a Mafia School (if approved) because it could be fun with an easier game to improve my skills and the other fact I suck . And gender to play doesn´t matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xenophobic Monoxide Posted September 25, 2014 I could also sign up for a Mafia School (if approved) because it could be fun with an easier game to improve my skills and the other fact I suck . And gender to play doesn´t matter. Not necessarily, but I had a hard time pretending to be the "giddy schoolgirl" I was assigned. In fact, my role caused my day 1 lynch.

def Posted September 26, 2014 Alright, 16 is enough for a healthy game. We can take a few more players (hint hint, anyone out there who wants to give it a shot). I'll keep this open till the end of the month. 1. PirateDave sd 2. Stickfig m 3. Captain Settle m 4. Kintober m/f 5. Lind Whisperer m/f 6. jamesn m 7. Pyrovisionary m/f 8. jluckhaupt m 9.

Cutcobra m/f Before we start, let's talk about what you folks want in the game. I haven't set up any roles or anything yet. I'm going to describe this as though you all know nothing about mafia (since I have no idea what experience new players have). There should be a roughly 3:1 town:scum ratio, which would be 12 town, 4 scum. With that, roles would be, loosely: Town -doctor (protects from kill each night) -cop (investigates whether a player is town or scum) -blocker (prevents a player from using a night action) -9 vanillas (no night action) Scum -Godfather (reads as town to the cop, no night action) -2 Goons (one of which must perform a night kill) -blocker (same as towns) At 16 players, that's a pretty plain set up, and to be honest, the one I'd recommend. It would normally last about 4-5 game days. If you wanted to add a serial killer (very common in EB games), I can, but that would weigh things to the town or scum. Since the SK is most likely to kill town (roughly 3:1) I would make it 12 town, 3 scum, 1 SK. But, scum would get an extra role (maybe a role cop of sorts, to confirm if someone has a night action) and town might get a weak doctor to prevent the SK kill, or a psychiatrist to 'cure' the SK, or a one-shot vig. That would complicate things a fair bit without being outrageous. Any opinion on how simple of a game you'd like to play? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piratedave84 Posted September 26, 2014 I'm fine with a good basic game with just the 'usual' roles (no SK) but I can see how it may be beneficial to expose the newcomers to the SK role early on as it is very likely they will encounter one in their first (or early) game as it's so common to have one. Learning how to manage the role or spot the SK could be beneficial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
