This has been in the Basement long enough. Time to host it.

The British version of Greater Idea.

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

For those new to the concept, in this game, there are 100 roles, and every player, before the game starts, receives two. Then they must pick one to be their role, and discard the other. The list of roles discarded by each player will be revealed when the game starts, creating some WIFOM. This setup doesn't guarantee balance at all, but it can be very fun, and is easy to pay multiple times.

There are many versions of Great Idea setups. This one is my favorite. It is a more balanced and streamlined version of GI, which eliminates some more bastard roles like the Black Goo, and some roles that make the game harder to decipher, like Strongmen and normal Roleblockers, making the setup less "opaque", according to the MafiaWiki. It also adds some cool new roles.

Spoiler: show

This setup has 4 factions. The regular civ faction, as well as the Mafia, Aliens and Goo. Mafia is your regular baddie faction, with the weakest roles, but the ability to make kills every night. Aliens have considerably stronger roles, but a lower number of kills, proportional to the number of players. Finally, Goo has a low number of roles, but some of them have passive recruitment abilities, while others have 1-shot kills. Finally, there are a few third party roles.

Number of players: as many as I can get. But let's go with a minimum of 7.

When: any day, really. But let's try to host it this Saturday, Feb 23, at 4 PM EST (or 9 PM UTC+0).

I will be out watching the most British of all sports, cricket, probably while sipping a cup of tea, at that time. It’s also a cracking idea. Sorry to be missing it though.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2019 3:59 am**

I’m so in.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:37 am**

I will have to see how my workload shapes up. Looks neat.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2019 1:17 pm**

Same, looks very cool, but I am signed up for Polka and playing Sockies and am a backup for WOW. So I guess it depends on how long everything is in sign ups and when it will be played.

This is a real time game, it basically requires you not to pay attention to those things for two hours.

And the date and time is in the first post.

ok , i knew it was real time but I did not see the posted time. That is about when I get home from work, so I would be out.

Depending on how it goes, it might start a little later than that. Basically I'm going to come in and start begging for players to join for an hour or so, then give up if they don't.

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2019 4:17 pm**

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2019 6:31 pm**

I’m bored out of my mind today, so count me in if a game gets rolling.

Posted: **Sun Feb 03, 2019 12:18 am**

I am sorry I forgot completely. Long day.

Posted: **Mon Feb 04, 2019 2:39 am**

It’s apparent I don’t have time for mafia in my life after all despite wanting to play this. Sorry DDL.

Posted: **Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:51 pm**

I’m prepared to lose again

Posted: **Sat Feb 09, 2019 9:05 pm**

If you decide to run this, send out a mass PM ~24 hours beforehand or mention a bunch of people.

I was free yesterday afternoon, but I played videogames and didn't see this. :P

Posted: **Mon Feb 11, 2019 3:51 pm**

Eh I kind of gave up in the middle of the day, I had some MBA stuff to do.

I'll put this in the fridge for a while since next weekend is busy too.

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2019 6:51 am**

This sounds like a lot of fun but theres a lot of game signups happening at once. Guess I'll play it by ear and see what happens.

I need at least 7 people, but I'll try to get more if I can.

linki: well burglaries tend to be a little intense, but they are also super short. Suit yourself, I'll be happy with any participation!

Posted: **Sat Feb 23, 2019 4:52 pm**

What the hell. I can do this if you are in a pinch and need somebody.

I'm not sure if I'm in a pinch yet but you never know with burglaries.
