Mafia General Discussion

[Tremendez]

If anyone’s played the card game just called Salem; I was thinking about making a forum mafia version.

I didn’t want to host it until the section could handle it because it would be extremely experimental.

You’d have to accept the balance might not work.

I have no idea what it is, but I'd be town to try it out if you're OK with people learning on the fly. As long as I'm not out of town, I should be good to give it a go.

but think about it Sasha, you and I could argue like we do about wrestling but in this case you could actually kill me as revenge

That is a very fair point, lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

I think the reason irl mafia doesn't turn into huge fights is also because those games start and finish over the span of like an hour or two. online, it lingers for days and thats a long time for ppl to ruminate and get pissed

It’s a game where witches are trying to lure people into their cult. They win by outnumbered those not witches.

so when town wins, are we allowed to say Witches Get Stitches?

Yep. Usually a round is 5 minutes for shorter games, 15 for longer ones. There’s no voting until the entire phases is over. Then you nominate people for lynch and the two are then voted on at the same time.

It moves quickly. Between an hour to two.

It’s a whole different experience.

I am, indeed. It’s quite fun.

EpicMafia was great for that when it was alive. Ten minutes games. 30 if it was a comp game.

It is. I have it and have played it a few times with epople from work

To add a but more light heartedness, the last I played mafia was several years ago and we based off of McCarthyism and you were either a commie or a capital. First round of voting everybody picked me as a Commie, but I was a Capital, lol

 

[Tremendez]

@Grim’s a damn dirty commie, though. For sure!

 

[Alexa]

The worse part was when I asked why they thought I was a commie they legit said "Because you are Russian" and I was like "What the fuck, man?!" lol
