to celebrate a new thread, post your favorite mafia thing that you or someone else did

my best game was probably Octopathfia, so that's my favorite because I'm dumb and have a bad memory

But I also had a lot of fun in Final Fantasy IX mafia even though I threw a bit at the end.

I just remembered another good mafia game.

I was joat and didn't claim the whole game until it was lylo in role madness, and scum team (4 posters) all scum-rushed another player. Despite me not claiming they elected to NK me. One of my available abilities that night was a redirection, so I redirected to a vulnerable scum team member and killed them. Then we spent 4 days executing them one by one hahaha.

Was this my Final Fantasy game? I remember something like that happening and it was v funny

I mean it depends on what you like but Return Of The Obra Dinn would be incredibly high on my list

e: apparently this got a switch port at some point, this is going to be a recurring theme with any "must play" game I feel

If you like slightly-finicky base building games, or ever thought "man, what if Dwarf Fortress but as a space western", Rimworld is great.

seconding rimworld, was the other one that jumped to the front of my mind but idk how well it will play on a steam deck

oh nobody has mentioned it yet but Vampire Survivors would be a great drop in drop out game to play on the go and is still actually PC exclusive

I don't really play anymore but I lurk and sometimes butt into conversations so I will participate

Hello my name is IcePhoenix.

I don't think it was my first mafia game but the first one that I remember is Nat20's DBZ mafia 2 that mord already posted about.

My favorite mafia moment was in the Persona 5 Mafia game that I ran. In the setup I made the Phantom Thieves a separate alignment but their win condition was just the same as town. While my pipe dream was that it would cause the town to not trust them/worry about them in a similar manner to the actual game, I figured that because of how many players in the game had played P5 they would just see through it. But they didn't! There were a few days where people were treating the Phantom Thieves as a third alignment with different goals and it made me very happy that something I threw in like that worked out exactly how I had hoped it would.

I like to play mafia for the puzzle solving as well. I usually don't like to get scum roles even though I think the best overall game I played was probably as scum in Octopath Traveler Mafia. But at some point it stopped being as fun.

There is nothing fun about me something fun about me is that I sang the national anthem at the first Minnesota Twins game after 9/11

Cop sanity beyond sane/insane only works in games with multiple cops imo because you can really easily fail my rule #1 of setup: is the player going to have fun with their role?

I assume these are all contingent on the player not knowing they are insane/paranoid/naive?

That is correct yes. In some games their sanity won't even show when they flip.

For the full 'how we played it back when I was at university' mode you gotta make it open setup,no flips,multiple vigs,and Town has to vote to end the game when they think they got every scum. And scum could choose not to kill.

They were terrible games in retrospect

what happens if you vote to end it and are wrong, does town just lose? Or does it just end the day phase and go to the next night?

I ran one game with a role so bad to play I think the player quit. In short, you can be your dreams I'm living proof.

(It was a puppet killer sk that poisoned players, and then got to give them 3 posts they had to make without referencing they were Anon posts they were given)

I remember this. You had to modkill me because I refused to post what they were telling me to post. Which might be the player quit you're thinking of.

Yes it is, thank you for your service. O7

That's the long and short of it,

Always glad to help :)

To be fair if the posts had been what Squiggly was suggesting I probably would have begrudgingly gone along with it but I was being told to post weird poo poo entirely unrelated to the game including some weird/gross youtube video so I figured if I was going to die either way I'd rather just not do that.
