superhero vs villain mafia signup

Alex - it will be 24 hr phases. once a day is enough to stay active but more often can be better so that you have opportunity to read and react to the input of others. Players who are inactive/silent will oftentimes get lynched early on in the game because they are perceived by the rest of the good guys as being no help in the investigation but by the same token they are rarely killed by the mafia since they are not much of a threat to exposing them. silence is actually a strategy used by some (not me - can i get an Amen to that) to stay under the radar until the right time. since we are in various time zones, info may be given by some that may be missed if you check in just once a day. i will try to make it so that the phases do not end between 10 pm and 6 am for anybody. i think most of us are in the American or European time zones. maybe Australia - let me know if other. Alex , can i throw your name in the hat?

how many players are we going to have? Surprised Anaxagore hasn't signed up yet.

i have not sent invites to the previous players yet and we have 12 already, , half being being new :)

it looks like 21;00 on the risk clock (what is it called?) might be ok = that is 4 pm in Los Angeles, 1 pm in New York, 9 pm in London, and 8 am in Sydney. Anybody have a better time for all?

i will copy and paste the guidelines from some of the prior games and welcome suggestions for amendments before i post it in the actual game thread. Sorry, but i will not have an elaborate backstory to go with the game There will be an approximate 3:1 superhero to villain ratio (maybe 4:1). No neutrals or switching sides [b]Basic game mechanics (copied from the previous Prisoners game)[/b] [spoiler]In its simplest form, Mafia consists of two sides: the Mafia, and the Town. The Mafia's goal is to kill the innocents, while the Town's goal is to kill the Mafia. At the beginning of the game, the Moderator will secretly send everyone their role. The Mafia will know each other, while (in the basic game) everyone else will only know their own role. The game has two phases, the first of which is Day. During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch; they are trying to eliminate the Mafia, but the Mafia can lead them astray by casting suspicion elsewhere. Generally, players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town); when a player gets a majority of the votes (half the amount of players alive plus one or rounded up), they are lynched. Their role is revealed by the Moderator, and it becomes Night. *Many Dominating12 games include a Night 0, in which all powers except to kill or recruit may be used, unless allowed by the moderator* During the Night, night actions may be used by roles known as "Power Roles". Many common power roles are listed in below spoilers, however, moderators may come up with additional roles to help balance a game or add an interesting element to it. At night, mafia is also usually allowed a kill, so in effect, town gets a kill during the day, and mafia gets one at night. However, there are also other night killing roles that are not necessarily mafia, but those are usually reserved for more complex games. The game alternates between Day and Night until either the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have killed everyone else (or nothing can prevent the same). Keep in mind that deception, deceit, and lying are not only allowed, but encouraged and expected. Be careful who you give information to, and don't hesitate to ask a moderator for help![/spoiler] [b]Win Conditions[/b] Superheros - Get rid of all the villains Villains - Get rid of all the Superheros You can used village, townies, good guys, good or mafia, bad guys, bad or anything that is clear what you mean in you communications [b]rules/guidelines[/b] [spoiler]-All D12 rules and regulations must be followed.

i am making good progress on the mechanics and should be ready in the next few days if all want to start next week. let know what you think and if we should extend turn times around Christmas (day, eve, travel days)

There will be an approximate 3:1 superhero to villain ratio (maybe 4:1). No neutrals or switching sides. And the Mafia will know each other, INTERESTING

yes it is about as plain/straightforward set up as there can be. the only twist is the picking and utilization of the abilities/super powers. i currently have 15 abilities for you to choose from which are under review by a couple of other players to make sure none of them are over powered. the abilities fall under 3 broad categories - offense, defense, and information or a combination.
