View Full Version : [Mafia] 16th Century Style - OOG and rules discussion

So I figure our Mafra games have been too hard for the village and it gets frustrating for everyone involved, causiong burnout. As a result, I want to run an easymode game (that isnt as odd as orks). We can discuss the rules here, but im going to be justifying them as I write them.

Mafia Witchhunt - The Rules

The village is split between villigers and witches. There will be a fixed (and known at the start of the game) number of witches. As a general guide im going to be going for 1/5th of the people, so if we have 20 people, we will have 4 witches.

Of the non witch viligers, a fixed number (im shooting for half the number of witches, so in the example above we would have 2) of villigers will be priests.

At the start of the game, no one, including the witches, knows anyone elses roles.

Every turn every person left alive in the village votes for who to drown or burn next. People can abstain from voting. At the end of the day, votes are counted and the person with the most number of votes against them is killed and take no firther part in the game. In the case of a draw, no one is 'witch tested'

Once per turn each witch votes TWICE (labeling them as vote 1 and vote 2) for diferent people. The person voted for the most with everyones primary vote has a spell cast on them and dies. In the case of a draw no one dies. If all the remaining witches vote for the same first target, then this process is repeated for the 2nd vote (otherwise vote 2 is ignored). If only 1 witch remains alive then only get 1 vote.

Once per turn each priest can 'prey for advice'. This will reveal if the target they prey for is a witch or a villiger (It will not reveal if they are a priest however).

Every target that dies will have their role revieled for everyone to see.

The reasoning

I wanted to keep the number of roles light so villigers actualy have a worth and 'common viligers' dont gewt all upset by not having a special rule. Being a priest is very dangerous as no one is able to actualy verify your role, and you have no doctors to keep you alive once you reveal.

Not having the witches know eachother at the start means they cant just sit there and do nothing all game. They will need to work out the other witches or they are more likely to not kill viligers than kill them each turn. This give the advantage to the village at the start unless they can work things out fast.

The idea of the 2 votes is to keep the witches trying to work out who the other witches are till the end, and in addition should help to balance out the inevitable non witch killings that will happen in the first few rounds. They ONLY get the 2nd vote if they all agree on who to vote for, indicating they probably are communicating with eachother, or it was a really obvious vote.

We can discuss the rules or I can clarify them (and make even more typoes). I'm also happy to take signups in this thread (I'll add them to the OP)

This is actually an interesting dynamic, because now the witches have to be able to drop hints somehow in order to get the second kill.

The only problem I would see is that assuming the witches vote random with the village then the villagers have nothing to go on and are essentially voting random as well. Witches then only need to get one secret killing (also picked at random since no one knows who anyone is) right in order to be statistically ahead of the villagers for the rest of the game. Priests don't help to shift the advantage, since they can direct only one successful lynch before getting wacked (and possibly resulting in a second villager dieing as well due to one-time coordinated vote).

Also having one moron playing witch basically screws it up for all of them.

Obviously there are tricks to this. Its 'easy mode' because its hard for both sides.

You also get the roles on death, so this is about as much info as you get in a normal mafia game, you just get the advantage of not losing a dozen viligers before you start to get a clue.

I'm also not above having a doctor in the game. I hjust thought that might swing it TO far in the villigers favor..

We do need more ducks, to be fair. Though if duck does join, he's obviously a witch. Or two witches, to be precise.

Is Victoria actually alive? No vote or post at all yesterday.

I'm also considering slightly changing some rules if I run this again.. Biggest one being 'Day ends at xxx time unless someone has posted in the last 10 mins, then its extended for 10 mins'.. Meaning if there is a lively debate going on at days end (like today) it can continue until everyone is happy with their vote rather than it being cut short like today.

Thank you captain obvious. It doesn't matter. I got into playing because he told me to. What's ironic is that I'm usually a regular villager/citizen. If I talk, I'm killed. If I don't talk, people think it's suspicious and I'm dead too. Either way I'm kinda screwed. Maybe one of these games I'll get in it for a few rounds.

After 2 days of inactivity (defined as not posting in the thread, or posting JUST votes) they are removed from play. This can be extended to 3 days with a PM to the game organizer.

It's basically what I did for Orkz and what I was planning for Inquisitor. If you're not going to be around for 2 days during an active game that usually takes between 5 and 8, there's no reason to play tbh. 25-50% absence is retarded.

That's the problem, but even then it's fairly easy. For instance, this game has earned Cue a ban from the next "serious" Mafia game I run. He wasted an entire turn AFTER he was dead so that we would kill ANOTHER Villager. Villager wasting the Villages time for at least 1 turn, and it seems like it will use up ANOTHER turn whenever the Village decides to kill me in retaliation for pointing out the obvious.

This sort of play is unacceptable IMO. I'm probably letting his running of the last "serious" Mafia game run into as well, since that was a cockup all around.

Nicho hasn't had a chance to redeem himself yet either, but he's honestly been targeted enough by now that I'd let him play. Everyone else I've forgotten or am only slightly annoyed with.

I think bans, if there are going to be any, should be discussed AFTER the game when the person can defend themselves. Cue may have had a very good reason for suspecting Drum (He didn't see the PM, he asked me if he could meta that before doing it, so he didn't know either way for sure). Then again he may not have, but I would prefer the discussion about whys and why nots to be done after playing.

That's the problem, but even then it's fairly easy. For instance, this game has earned Cue a ban from the next "serious" Mafia game I run. He wasted an entire turn AFTER he was dead so that we would kill ANOTHER Villager. Villager wasting the Villages time for at least 1 turn, and it seems like it will use up ANOTHER turn whenever the Village decides to kill me in retaliation for pointing out the obvious.

Bullshit. The village choose to lynch Drum, even though she put a fuckton of work into trying to prove her innocence. Just because you're fucking incompetent doesn't mean I'm a bad player. It means you're incompetent.


This sort of play is unacceptable IMO. I'm probably letting his running of the last "serious" Mafia game run into as well, since that was a cockup all around.

Wait wait wait. Everyone cried that there were too many mafia in Spasm's game, that there needed to be more roles. So I ran a game with more roles and less mafia. Just because Me played an amazing game doesn't make it a bad game, it makes you a sore looser.

Cue was trying to get me killed first. That was his intent. He jumped and pointed the finger first and I couldn't defend it so I died. He never knew that I was a villager. For all he knew, I really was a witch. Maybe I'm missing something in what you were getting at, Larkin. I enjoy playing the Mafia games (regardless of the fact that I'm terrible at them) and I propose that the new set of rules is created, allow all to play, and should they break the rule, ban them then. With a new rule set, this might allow fuller and more interesting games. I propose that we throw up a new thread and vote up/down a new rule set for the next game and the next mafia game should be open to all. See how it goes. Ban those who cannot/do not follow the rules and go on from there. Am I the only one who feels this way?

To be fair, you ran a game with a tone of roles and 1 mafia that was unaffected by the roles, therefor making pretty much all of the roles counterproductive.. In fact that was the ONLY issue I had with your game, the don role.. You are right, Me played it very well, but the rules really did help him.

Nicho hasn't had a chance to redeem himself yet either, but he's honestly been targeted enough by now that I'd let him play. Everyone else I've forgotten or am only slightly annoyed with.

I think bans, if there are going to be any, should be discussed AFTER the game when the person can defend themselves. Cue may have had a very good reason for suspecting Drum (He didn't see the PM, he asked me if he could meta that before doing it, so he didn't know either way for sure). Then again he may not have, but I would prefer the discussion about whys and why nots to be done after playing.

This. It's only a game guys. I agree that we should wait until after a game to discuss it. Lana's game is different than Spasm's, which is different from Cue's. Everyone's game is different. If you didn't like it, don't play their games. I enjoy playing a game that my friends are in on too. I'll be honest that if you keep banning people, even more are less likely to play. Give everyone a clean slate and a shot at the next game and then see where it goes.

Well a solo mafia who can be detected would have lead to the game being over within 2 days.


tbh it was a good game, only problem was the last round with such low numbers left and the rules bickering meant it kinda fell apart. People rely far too much on the crutch of asking the gm for info, people need to actually read posts. There was a couple of occasions where I was sure I'd given it away but since everyone was so intent on investigations no one noticed.

That's why I decided to play this one, stuff all investigator (http://i.imgur.com/QEldPLP.jpg) roles and no one knows who is who, not even the witches.

I would honestly recommend not discussing the butthurt in the current game until after its over. Some of it can be justified quite easily (c'mon Vic, 2 games in a row?? serious?!) some of it you need to know more before being able to judge (eg, Nicho from the last game.. I thought he was being an idiot during the game until the end and I worked out he was being played the whiole time)

Yes maybe cues game did go a little to far one way after spasms went a little far the other. But hind sight is always 20/20 etc.

Mate, I don't like how you play. I also tried to defend her, but the damage was already done. If you read the thread I abstained till late in the turn, simply because of your play the turn before. If you're going to get all defense, at least double check before calling incompetence.

And again, a quick check would have helped here. I didn't play in your game, so watching it from the outside, it was fucking retarded. You made an early mistake in the posting, you made a mistake in the role selection and you made a mistake in how it ended. It left people butthurt and not wanting to play another, which incidentally, screwed the game I was trying to run. Orkz was fun and all, but it wasn't the game I wanted to run.

As a side effect, I don't want you playing in my games in the future. The games that I run. I only mildly suggested that you be banned from all play, because that would be douchey. Honestly I don't care. And if I do, I won't play instead.

Nicho... meh, get over it.

Also if Cue can Meta about seeing PMs I can meta about being butthurt about the current game in the OOG thread.

It does, but when you have a game that's numerically balanced around the idea that villagers are going to be trying to hang mafia, having a villager that's trying to kill another villager can sometimes fuck up the game.

I remember the old days of AOL and only having a certain amount of time to spend on the internet. They've got it whenever and they search for EVERYTHING. They want to know everything about me, which is understandable since they spend so much time with me, but still! I'm also discovering that they're not nearly as innocent as I was when I was their age. Kind of a scary thought some times.

I agree! I share my stories about childhood with my kids, seeing as how I LOVED my childhood. I great up GREAT but my kids don't tell stories about epic new years parties playing the new wii or hilarious games of pool horse because the cues broke. They tell stores of how drunk they were or that they were high and can't remember. I didn't drink in high school and I've never smoked anything in my 24 years alive but these kids grow up way too fast. Rather depressing when I think about it.
