~~Ecco, since you have the first and last post in the last thread, mind tossing some links on either end of the thread to this one?~~ I see edited posts there. I'm just so impatient.

Any games lately where a 3P solo won? Maybe I'll beef up the 3P next game I run.

I think a big problem with Firefly is you need to watch it in the aired order, because the original storyline pilot is not great, and also not the first episode that aired, if I remember correctly. I think it's almost better to watch the first aired pilot then go back to Storyline Episode 1 as a flashback or something?

The train heist episode? Yeah, that's a great introduction to the show.

For those who were interested in the Haven & Hearth SA Mafia village, the update was pushed back to the 28th.

What what? Little MMO by a Swede. Open world crafting survival. Fully PvP. Swords, Bows, Trade, Crime and Bounty Hunting. Everything is created by the players and there are no NPCs other than the wildlife. Though the first few times I played it I played with groups that were more into the crafting and village maintaining with very few combat oriented players. I enjoyed it.

There's a patch coming out overhauling the graphics and presumably the gameplay has had some updates since I last played it.

So starting a new village and picking people out of the SA Mafia Community for it.

Why run a game with that many? Seems like until you get to like 25 players there's just going to be a whole ton of randomness

The only way I'd see it being fun is if it's just some chatroom game that only lasts 3 hours total.

Working on a spreadsheet to help me set up role madness games. I was tired of going through various wikis to find roles. Specifically wanted a way to organize roles by their type to better fit niches needed in a setup. It's pretty useful as a general role repository though so I thought I'd share it.

I was originally going to make a wiki since most of us don't have access to edit the SA Mafia wiki, but a spreadsheet is all I really needed.

If you have any suggestions I'm always looking for interesting things to add to it.

My suggestion (which is Correct) is that you should cut out 3/4 of the roles you've got, and make them vanilla instead.

Bam - you have a good game setup.

Don't play my games.

Death Miller - Miller that flips as scum
Reverse Death Miller - Godfather that flips as town.

Arsonist - kills anyone who targets their target, plus their target if their target performs no action.

Martyr - Wins if they die.

Modifiers
Brutal - Also kills, context specific. A brutal Cop kills if they get a SCUM result, for instance.
Weak - dies if they target scum

Miller already included. If it's a minor change to something already on the list, it really doesn't need a new line.

That's not an Arsonist. Looks like the Mass Murderer or Werewolf.

Martyr is just an easy mode Jester.

Brutal sounds like a good addition. I don't now about Weak though. It's not something I've seen and doesn't seem particularly fun.

You have millers, not death millers!

Weak is used with Doctor mostly, so they protect someone but die if they target scum.

Made an edit to the post about millers.

I added it to the list. It's not something I would use but it's not something I don't think belongs in Mafia. Sort of how a Silencer is pretty lovely in forum mafia but works pretty well in quick Mafia games like Town of Salem.

nearly every game here or auspol for the last 6 months or so has seemed to be role madness/cyor or something similar. If you are making role heavy games make it not mafia instead imo, having mafia games won by role/night actions alone is boring.

Then don't play Role Madness games. If the host makes role madness games without calling them Role Madness, don't play games by that host.

I don't include anything random on principle. All actions are decided by the players after the game starts.

There's a lot of Mafia/TV-Survivor shared posters. Next season thread is up.

Also, Haven & Hearth patch and reset should be tomorrow. I'll see if I have a decent connection to be online. Moving into a new place Saturday and hopefully everything will be a lot more stable there than the connection I've had here for the past month. Hopefully a few people are interested still.

Haven & Hearth is pay to play now and game time is limited. They decided not to announce this until the patch went live.

Oh well. On to the next game!

Out of curiosity, how many games are run simultaneously at a good time in here? If there are 3 being tracked in vote finder and 4 that I know of currently recruiting, it seems we have a decent amount of players. I don't have anything to base it on though

5-8 seems like the normal number to me. Hal would be in each and every single one of them.

I kinda wish we as a community had managed our alumni better. An "alumni game," if well done, could have brought a few players back from retirement semi-permanently, rather than burn them out and remind them why they quit in the first place. Targeted messages to former players might have been helpful too.

I know woulda coulda shoulda, wishes and horses, and all that. Still.

Banner ads maybe.
