Would anyone be interested in playing forum based Mafia / Werewolf here, on the vDip forum?

Mafia, if you're unaware of it, is a guessing / deduction based game with two (or more) opposing teams. It's also known as "Werewolf". It's a fun game played face to face among many groups, and also on a range of web forums.

There is an active Mafia sub-community on the webDip forum. Since there are several webDip refugees here on vDip, and since vDip doesn't seem to have a Mafia game, and since Fluminator suggested it.... I'm asking the question.

Who would be interested in playing?

How do you manage scum-chat with more than two scum? Or do you just restrict to 9 player games so that's not an issue and you can just PM each other?

Tentatively interested, though.

BlueSage (1020 )

possibly interested

Enriador (1507 )

What are the rules?

mouse (1825 )
10 Sep 17 UTC

Lynch scum, don't get night-killed or lynched yourself.

Jamie_T (895 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

@Mouse: The usual approach is to give the minority scum team a Quicktopic space where they are allowed, only at night, to talk.

I'm wondering why people feel the need to say "mute thread" instead of just muting it. Is it some sign of protest? So silly.

bozo (2302 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

I would play here.

Jamie_T (895 )

@Mapu: Not as much of a disadvantage as you might think - because if people have never seen you play before, they can't analyse your past behaviour to look for clues.

In established Mafia groups there's a lot of "Oh, well, Bob always behaves like that when he's scum..." which a newbie is immune from.

However there is a bit of a learning curve.

I appear to have four interested people, five if you add me. I will look into setting up a game towards the end of this month.

ubercacher16 (2196 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

I might actually be interested. But I may not have the time.

mouse (1825 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

I don't think I'd want a game unless we got up to 9, honestly. Only one day before LyLo isn't enough to actually go on...

Jamie_T (895 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

I am confident that we will get 10-12 players.

DemonOverlord (910 )

I like small games more so I'm super in

DemonOverlord (910 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

We can make phases longer too if people are down.

abadu (1227 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

This isn't terribly time-intensive, right? If that's the case I might be cautiously interested, have really enjoyed this as a f2f game.

Jamie_T (895 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

@Abadu - phases are generally a couple of days long. You are expected to actively contribute each phase - but that doesn't mean you need to log in every hour or anything like that.

yoak (1079 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

I'm interested.

Jamie_T (895 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

Excellent.

I propose a relatively vanilla game, no crazy roles, which I will GM to get us started, starting in a few weeks. Watch the forum for updates.

ubercacher16 (2196 )
11 Sep 17 UTC

I will be in if the phases are two+ days.

Jamie_T (895 )
15 Sep 17 UTC

Just to give you lovely folks an update, I've had a couple of off-site messages expressing interest too, so I'm quietly confident we can get to 10+ players which will give us a viable game.

Over the weekend I will post the rules and some information about the set-up, and we can start taking sign-ups for an early October start.

Apart from some nuance these are sample rules

Jamie_T (895 )
16 Sep 17 UTC

I will GM the first one, yes. It will have a fairly normal setup. Nothing too silly for the first game, as some people will not have played before.

Is England* vs Turkey truly balanced?

The stats spread on England* vs Turkey is innocuous enough. England* wins 55% of games which do not end in a draw, Turkey wins 45%. England is favored, but not to the extent that Turkey can't win; the game is not balanced, but it also isn't drastically skewed either way.

However, I have recently encountered an opening from England that I'm struggling to counter as Turkey.

Force drawn games

Games with fixed end year are (for ranking purposes) treated like solo victories for the power with the largest SC tally (even when PPSC scoring is used). Is that intentional? Not that I think it matters much to me, but I do find it rather odd, it would seem like the more logical approach would be that they are treated as force drawn, or possibly use affect ranking differently depending on scoring system used.
