HELLO This is my idea for a mafia theme. If any comic book nerds (or anyone in general) is interested, PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS THEME! I really need it! Some roles also have new abilities that haven't been implemented yet. If you can give some insight/advice/whatever to help me balance or make my theme better, please comment away! Now here we go... Introduction Marvel Comics had an event in their universe called "Civil War", where each superhero had to choose whether to register with the government or to rebel against this new law. Iron Man is the leader of the Pro-Registration movement, for he believes that registering would be the best for everybody. Captain America is the leader of the Resistance, the Anti-Registration group, for he believes everyone has the liberty to choose their own fate, not to be forced. In this mafia game you will be playing a hero from either side. Lead your team to victory! Shield Agents [Sided with Pro-Reg] (Villagers) Shield is an international organisation in the Marvel Universe. Iron Man uses this organisation to capture and imprison those heroes who refuses to register. At night, if 5 Shield Agents /kill one target, the target will die (Last/5th priority). I was thinking Shield Agents should have a number like Sheild Agent 1, 2 etc. So in large games, Iron Man (Or whoever is Pro-Reg) can command them to kill whoever. For example, Iron Man might say, "Shield Agents 1-5 kill Kogent, 2-10 kill Waterboat!" This gives an awesome new level of gameplay and cooridination and the feeling of Iron Man controlling a unit to take down some superheroes. Deadpool [Neutral] (Mercenary) Deadpool is a mentally unstable mercenary. He is neutral in the beginning. At night, Deadpool can /kill one target. (4th priority) Whichever inspector finds Deadpool first will get Deadpool as a teammate. Deadpool is not allowed to kill until he is hired by a side. If both inspector inspects Deadpool, Cable will get first priority. There is one flaw with Deadpool. The flaw is that Deadpool can pm Iron Man to side with him right off the bat. I don't know how to counter this. Pro-Registration ("Good" power roles) The Pro-Registration group consists of heroes who are willing to register and capture the fugitive resistance heroes. Their roles and abilities in this mafia theme will be focused on discovering/stalling/voting out the other team. The heroes and roles include... Ironman At night, Ironman can /inspect to find out someone's role. Your armor instantly lasers Spider-Man's webs. Mr. Fantastic At night, you can try to /deduce Anti-Reg role. In the daytime, your voting power is 2. Your voting power is -10 if your vote for your wife, Invisible Woman. Mr. Fantastic can /deduce target and there's a chance that a random letter from the hero's name would pop out. Example: /deduce Captain America. If Kogent is Cap, then the letter "e" might pop out. Can do it once every night. Mayor/ Super Smart deducer Yellowjacket At night, Hank Pym can use his sheer size to /protect someone. Bodyguard Wasp At night, Wasp can /sting a target which prevents them from doing anything. Pretty Lady Task Master At night, you can use your photographic reflexes to /copy an Anti-Reg hero's role. Then /use on a target! Can only copy the other team, and you don't know what you copied. You'd need an inspector to find out who has power role for you. Edit: I feel Pro-Reg is too re-skinny, save for Taskmaster and his new ability. If you guys have any ideas about abilities that fits the heroes above, post away. Anti-Registration (Mafia) Here's the Resistance, heroes looking to take down these Pro-Reg fools. Their roles are primarily to kill the Pro-Reg with some safeguards to avoid detection. Heroes within a team will know each other's identities. Team 1 Captain America At night, Captain America can choose either to /redirect or /kill (2nd priority) Now, /redirect gives Cap some protection against kills (he has a shield, duh) or he can choose to kill, which takes away his ability to stay safe (when he uses his shield offensively, he is unprotected). Cable At night, you can /inspect someone using your telepathic powers. You see through Invisible Woman's /conceal. You have a chance to find Deadpool Inspector and 30% chance to discover Deadpool Team 2 Black Panther At night, the Black Panther can /kill one target (3rd priority). He also has the chance to discover someone's role. Killer/Spy who can discover anybody's roles. Not just Pro-Reg. Invisible Woman At night, Sue Storm can /conceal one team member. If someone inspects her target, they'll only see a Shield Agent standing behind them. In large games, she can use her force field to protect someone. Basically diguises someone as a Shield Agent and becomes a bodyguard in 25+ games. Team 3 Wolverine At night, Wolverine can /kill one target (1st priority). He also has a chance to heal when killed. The chance of revival is 40%. When Wolverine is killed (and the chance of revival happened) it will tell the Wolverine player, "You are not dead. Your healing factor kicked in. You will be ready to fight the next night." When it's the second night, the message, "Wolverine has revived!" shall appear. Wolverine can keep reviving, but the chance to revive decreases by 5% each time. Spider-Man At night, Spiderman can /web targets to prevent them from doing anything. He can web 2 targets in 20+ games. A pretty lady who can have sex twice in large games. Civil War in play You'd want about 20 people to play this theme. Any number less than that would not make this theme feel special. Any more people would make this theme awesome. Game starts. Shield Agents You can do 3 things here. 1) Claim Shield Agent. But if you do this, you might get killed by Anti-Reg, which renders you unable to kill as a squad. (5 Shield Agents can /kill one target, remember?) 2) Remain hidden. But if you remain hidden, Iron Man must think you are Anti-Reg and inspect/rand you. 3) Troll. But you might get banned by Chaos. Deadpool Troll till one side finds you. Then troll the opposite side. Pro-Reg In N1, Iron Man should claim and ask for power roles to pm him and begins his search for the fugitive heroes. Iron Man should be careful about randing because now Villagers have a value. You can try to rand out a Anti-Reg, but if you vote out a Shield Agent or Deadpool, it could mean a potential loss. Anti-Reg Cable should try to find all of his Anti-Reg teammates as quickly as possible. You only need to find one person on each of the 2 teams to know everyone on Anti-Reg. Any Anti-Reg who can kill should start killing all the Shield Agents who claimed so they have less of a chance to kill. That's basically it. I hope you had absorbed my ideas for this theme. If you feel that... a) some heroes do not have a role that fit them b) I am missing some important heroes from the "Civil War" event c) Something is terribly wrong here PLEASE leave a constructive comment on how to make this theme better. I really hope to play this theme on the mafia channel soon, and thank you in advancing for helping me out.

Thanks to Hobbes and Mavs for helping me out with the theme code/script whatever. Thanks to all that commented/gave input and feedback.
Deadpool is pro-reg not neutral in civil war. although he did try to get other already registered heroes to register xD. Taskmaster would be much better for the role you have deadpool as right now. I would just rename Deadpool to taskmaster and be done with that. and Cable could be an insp with psychic powers and all. he is anti-reg. you could pretty much replace IW and have same powers just with telepathy+telekinese instead. Also Cable could get some sort of see into the future power cause he is from the future and all. If you can think of something else for Deadpool that is pro-reg i would try to add Cable also cause Cable and Deadpool love. Maybe Deadpool could have a kill but he won't kill cable and doesn't know his team but also can kill his teammates. That fits what Deadpool did in civil war a lot actually. Would Wolverine's regen only work once or could it work more then once? other then that pretty good looking theme.
Well, Deadpool was pro reg at first but then Cable made it look like Deadpool try to kill the president so Deadpool was forced to join Anti reg. That's why I wanted him to be a mercenary because he can really be on any side. Taskmaster is a good idea. Maybe he can copy someone's role. And I think you're right with Cable. He should be an inspector with a small special ability. I'll try of think of something. As for Wolverine, either we can make him revive once with a medium chance or revival multipure times with a small chance. Depends on what people feel like is more balanced.
I think that there are cool new abilities but some people might think it's stupid like how they thought themes would be stupid. Haters gonna hate. It makes mafia different and fun villagers have to play smart and pay attention. People need to think instead of trolling.
For starters I'm just going to say I think it's a very creative theme, even though I'm not sure how easy some of this will be to implement. The other main thing I'd be concerned about is how much the balance of the game changes based on the number of players. The way it reads it looks like it's optimized for around 30 players which will be all but impossible except during peak times. The revive is a bit different than how I envisioned that, and I'm not sure you'd really want to rely on a mafia player base that already has trouble staying at their keyboard a chance to randomly come back with a role that is pretty important to their team and risk them being AFK. Despite those flaws I think a lot of the ideas here are original and would help differentiate themes between one another although I'm sure (as I've said) coding some of theme would be rather difficult.
Ah true. been i while since I read cable and deadpool and my fav part of the civil war was when he got duct taped to the chair and when he tried to make the great lakes initiative(or whatever the hell they were calling them at the time) register when they were already registered. still IMO task is better as the rule you have for Deadpool. make Deadpool a werewolf makes mroe sense. and give him a healing factor then too since deadpool's is actually stronger then wolvie's.
Well first off, Kwoky you're still an idiot. Heh, but all in all, if someone *cough*mavs>heat&Deria*cough* can make this theme work, it'd be awesome, so sadly, I approve.
http://pastebin.com/jd2xMMUY If I did it right, then that is the theme without stuff that is not added to the script yet.
sorry chaos, i dont have the scripting abilities or the rights to add the new commands, like the 5 shield agents killing=dead thing. and most of the commands are left out, but i'll add them as soon as i get a final rough draft (oxymoron ftw) of the layout. Although i think it's a really good idea also, but i know that probably about half of the ideas isnt scripted yet, and really the only person that can do that is probably Lamperi.
