    Does this mean it's happening? POAMT set 2? It's a miracle!

    Anyway Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Batman, Wheel of Time, Final Fantasy, Ratchet and Clank (idk), the various Studio Ghibli movies (?), FIRE EMBLEM... idk, I might think of more

    Hockey Sports Players, or even Celebrities in general (maybe a specific type of celebs, like actors/actresses or singers).

    Sorry for double post

    I'm thinking of hosting a simple NOC Mafia game

    I'm thinking of using this setup from Mafiascum cuz it seems interesting. What do you guys think?

    Also I may need a cohost anyone who is interested should PM me

    Thanks, guys. I'll look back and be using a lot of these for the next set (Set 3, sorry!). This one's just kind of a normal one so far with a few twists

    Hey folks

    Making a game - not in the queue yet so it's heaps far off but;

    I'm requesting a cohost for the game. I've been tossing it over lightly before I even hosted my last game and not much of it has been written yet;
    But I need some accountability in terms of balance and activity and someone who could potentially alternate updates with me.

    To give a basic idea (to all and especially potential hosts) it'll be a mafia-esque game except driven by a story.
    If it helps you can think of it as kind of like a mafia rpg with limited options; where the direction of the game will have a set structure as a framework but the moments and what actually happens will be defined by the choices of the players and the group circumstance.

    So yeah

    Not sure if it'll be invitational, but thus far am leaning that way.

    I'm still working out how an organized forum RP could work. My current co-host/planner has gone up and died, so requesting a new one.

    The game is simple. You win by playing your submitted character well. It will follow a day/night cycle similar to mafia that encourages cooperation and party formation. There are still many chinks to be worked out, so I'm requesting a co-host to help with planning, preferably someone who has experience playing in mmos or table top games in character.

    Here's a preliminary rules list for anyone interested:
    • 24 hour time limit on inactivity
    • all posts must be in character
    • each play may request up to three quick topics to speak with other players, however, you may only join three quick topics so choose wisely
    • an indefinite amount of players may join each quick topic for things such as party chat
    • the game will be devided into a day and night cycle
    • the night cycle will end when all players have decided to rest, or the time limit on the cycle has been reached
    • if a player goes without resting for two night cycles, he will be forcibly put in a state of rest for the next day cycle
    • players may be assasinated while resting via pm the kill's sucess will be determined by your player stats
    • player stats will be kept by the hosts and not be made available to characters as to prevent the strongest player from going on a killing spree
    • players may either challenge each other to an arena fight during the day, or may be voted to fight another player to the death
    • arena fights are waged for items/money and are not to the death
    • you may not make a post that gives you an item, however, saying something like "I open a chest in this dungeon" at the end of your post is ok. Weather or not you recieve an item will be determined by the quality of your posts
    • when posting "I open a chest in a dungeon" you may find something, nothing, or the chest may be a gimick and you will lost money/items
    • your stats will be determined by your roleplaying score, item score, and skill gained through the events that you experiance

    now we are our own forum

    what subforums do you want to see?

    personally i would want 2; one for mafia discussion and another for game proposals (setup like the disciplinary committee where only mods and thread starters can see their own thread)

    thoughts?

    Mafia Discussion subforum would be p. cool. Not sure how useful game proposals are considering it's probably easier to just talk on the server or smth (and more beneficial if you guys wanna play so you don't get every setup spoiled :o).

    I think it would be useful to have new tags as well: something like [OC] [NOC] [Other]

    Yeah I agree with most of what user meowmix said regarding mafia discussion and tags of [OC] [NOC] [OTHER]

    Game proposals I think is really you and windblown's call.

    Hrmmm.... now that I think about it someone was throwing around the idea of a sub forum for other games; although that may be unnecessary dunno.

    What I think is that there should be someway of splitting up other games and mafia a bit more clearly than is current. Not that it's hard or bad as is... just would seem nicer were it that way (split up more clearly).

    May add more later

    Hey all!

    I was somewhat bored this morning so I made a survey regarding mafia experience and how to play and I want you guys to answer : )

    Here: http://tinyurl.com/pomcompendium (link is also in #jalmont mafia)

    Will hopefully amalgamate all these into a guide or just credit you all with your own tip in a po mafia compendium! yay

    Truthfully the inspiration for the survey was that I think as a group we need to get better at playing as town. So yeaaah help there : )
    Also a lot of people were kind of ambivalently interested in writing guides but I don't think committed to doing a full on section or anything so this should help everyone to contribute without having to give up too much time/effort/resources/secrets/trade info/etc.
    Even if you are a new player hearing about you and mafia would be cool!

    cyaaaaa

    Um, I had a pretty weird idea for a Mafia game last night so I think I'll share it here

    I was thinking of hosting an anonymous forum mafia NOC...with a twist. The twist is that each anonymous account would be able to be accessed by 2 players, so every player in the game is playing under a hydra account. I have no idea how this will play out, but it seems really interesting in my head

    I will probably use a simple beginner setup like Matrix6 from mafiascum, but even for a 9 player setup, I will need a lot of players and a lot of subs, because if an account is inactive, I have to sub two people into it.

    Some details still need to be touched up upon and finalized, but does anyone have any feedback for this idea?
    And yes, games will probably be very chaotic, but it's all in good fun :]

    As for flavor, I'm thinking Game Of Thrones - I'm almost done Clash of Kings and the series is amazing

    what is everyone's thoughts on implementing a priority system (dependent on how many games one is in already) along with playerlists for games being randomized?

    if the playerbase drops we can always just remove the prio requirement

    I would be fine with it. Of course we talked on the server about it. It would take a little more work to decide who was in games and what not but probably worth it.

    The question would be if the list would vary by game type. Would Mafia/not-mafia have different lists? Maybe even OC/NOC?

    My idea was to take pre-ins based on priority of people who didn't get to play the last game because they weren't chosen.

    I was thinking of some classic games like

    ABC Pokemon like

    Poster 1: Abra
    Poster 2: Blissey
    Poster 3: Chansey

    That's how it works and

    Dad, there's something i have to tell you you

    It goes like

    Poster 1: Dad, I got kicked out of school

    Poster 2: Son, you are grounded forever

    Dad, i love you

    How are these ideas?

    Yeah the first one is ABC pokemon

    Second one is a game i made up for serebii.net forums as well

    Heres another idea

    Waiter, there's a _____ in my soup!

    Poster 1: Waiter, there's a wailord in my soup!

    Poster 2: I hope it does not *Wailord splashes* splash... I'll get the mop..

    Waiter, there's a rubber duck in my soup

    Opinions?

    Those really just seem like PC++ games which are neither interesting nor fun.

    Maybe pre ins could be done in a thread, with people being able to say "/in for next", "/in for upcoming game x" "/in for next NOC" etc... This could be helpful for people in inconvenient timezones.

    I know I personally don't want to play every game so doing "/in next" wouldn't be ideal for me.

    A priority system would be fine. I was also thinking of setting a maximum amount of games one can be in (yeah we would have to distinguish between mafia games and nonmafia games but the distinction doesn't seem that difficult). Player list randomization should work fine too.

    I hate to be that guy, but mafiascum has a /pre-in system that works: moderators advertise their games before they come out or even just announce they'll happen, and a certain number of players (usually 5-6) can PM the mod to secure a spot ahead of time, regardless of when the actual signup thread goes up.

    I agree. I'd probably just stop playing oc/nonmafia games so there needs to be a way to pick what type at the very least.

    i think people reserving spots would be ok (say no more than 10-20% of the playerlist) a pre-in thread seems like it would just clogged / hard to keep track of. having hosts randomize seems like an efficient and more fair way for things to work (as it a pre-in list would still be first come first serve so bad luck for timezone issues could still be a problem)

    We can say you can only pre-in once a month or once every 4 games or something like that. Or take half from one time zone and half from another time zone. We can figure out most people's time zones easily.

    I'm willing to believe there could be a workable balance between randomization and 1c1s. Trying to have pre-/ins be 1c1s and thread signups random might work best, especially since the idea/ad of a game might not garner as much attention as the game itself when it actually goes up in its own thread.

    Also noting that it's not mafia games that fill quickly, but non-mafia.

    Thinking about it now. Mafiascum's system works for them in part cos they have such a large playerbase.

    I think the best way is when a game gets added to the listings, next to it it will say "3 pre-ins of 13 spaces available" for instance, which are guaranteed and would be acquired by PMing the host, but would be limited like beast said. Sign up threads could stay open for 2-5 days, with the names of anyone who expresses an interest in that amount of time being being put in a random order, in my example the first ten would get in then the remainder would become priority subs in accordance with the random list.

    I'd say it'd be pretty annoying to have to try to enforce or work around prohibiting it so I'd rather just go with it

    I'm reminded of Smogon's forum change and how people could suddenly like posts in their forum games

    I would say that a ban on dead players/players not in the game (at least) would be needed as otherwise dead talking, be it a watered down version, would be allowed (by liking posts about who to lynch or something).
