Oh yes, that's right. Around here we would say cop, so that's what I meant, but in this setup you're right it's important to make the distinction.

If you notice, in the first page, I used the word "scum" to refer to baddies in general. Not mafia. Mafia is a specific faction.

Cop finds mafia.
Seer finds wolves.
FBI finds serial killer.
Private investigator finds cult.
conspiracy theorist finds alien.
bloodhound finds town.

Really incredible setup. Can we play the next one now? Lol. Just kidding, I have work to do, but seriously I want to play another version of this ASAP.

Oh...i know i could just see warewolf. But it was my last ditch effort saying I could check for mafia

I did not know this.

I did not have time to make a better explained thread, unfortunately. This was pretty rushed.

It only worked because I had hosted greater idea before, so I knew the ins and outs of the roles. all the dealing with syndicate format and polls and hosting a turbo game for the first time ever was hard.

But I'm glad you guys liked it.

Posted: **Sun Sep 17, 2017 5:37 pm**

This was super fun. Seriously, I reiterate my question of when the next turbo like this will be? lol, addicted.

Same.

Also, good idea about using distinct terminology for each faction. I think I'll do that going forward instead of "mafia team 1" and "mafia team 2".

I'm sorry, we should have let you play in the sandbox first so you could get a feel. But you did a great job! I wouldn't have changed how you ran it at all.

You can play a variation too if you want.

I echo this sentiment as well.

Again, I did not design this setup. But yeah it's a good idea.

If you guys want to play more, here is my 11th mafia game.

https://www.narutoforums.org/threads/in ... n.1112208/

2 more spots.

Posted: **Sun Sep 17, 2017 5:44 pm**

I really want to sign up for that one, but I'm already in two games.

Posted: **Sun Sep 17, 2017 7:40 pm**

God damn it. I'm so sorry I missed this. My phone battery died so my alarm didn't go off.

Same. I'd love to though if I had the time. Perhaps once my mafia schedule clears up a bit and I'm past a few more dissertation deadlines.

The greatest takeaway here is that JJJ regards Laconic wit as "pointless and tiny."

Posted: **Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:13 pm**

Mental note: MP is desperate to play another GI. Use that to your advantage.

Posted: **Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:44 pm**

I'm an addict even against my better judgment, what can I say.

Posted: **Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:52 pm**

I had fun, sure, but that was just giving JJJ shit.

My problem with this is that the setup isn't guaranteed to be balanced, and civilian roles generally aren't useful.

For example: I searched for serial killers.

There were no serial killers in this game...

...except there were two of them, since there was no mafia BTSC, only two independent killers.

I think this would work much better if you killed the werewolf / alien factions and worked it out to where there would be a balanced Mafia / Civilian game.

Posted: **Sun Sep 17, 2017 10:34 pm**

As a note since I missed this earlier

I'm sure this kind of setup is meant for a lot more people

Ive been told that before

Apparently most people play it with small numbers. It was originally played in real life, with a deck of cards.

But next time I will attempt one with a lot more players.

Or that, too.

Posted: **Mon Sep 18, 2017 5:40 am**

The setup not being guaranteed to be balanced is the main draw of the whole thing though.

Or

We can play this

https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?ti ... Idea_Mafia

No serial killers, and it has a new goo faction instead of werewolves. It also seems to remove most pointless roles.
