Keeper Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 So on some other forums I am a member of, we play a game known as Mafia. If you've ever played the party game called Mafia, its the same thing just text based. Very fun to play and you can be very creative with the setup. I was thinking that maybe this site could use some Mafia. If there is enough interest, then I'll organize a game. Just wanted to get the word out. Here is a helpful link from the Malazanempire site where I started playing Mafia.

Keeper Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I didn't mention this earlier, but i need about 10-13 people to express interest to run the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan he/him Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 This isn't exactly the most well-read sub-forum. General Discussion would be best for gathering interest, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eerongal he/him Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Some1else (the actual poster named that) tried to get a game going of it before, but in the end it just kinda fell through. Also: this does belong in the general discussion forums, so i'll move it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeralis00 she/her Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I am still willing to play if you find enough players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LevenThumps Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I've played Mafia, but never online with text. It sounds like fun and I'm willing to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 How do you play mafia unless it's online? I'd be keen, bonus points if you make the characters themed from Sanderson's work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeatherWriter she/her Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm back from my thing, so I'm up to play. I've never played online, but the concept doesn't seem too difficult. Will the mod make up elaborate stories of what happens at night to update us all, or will it just be "So and so was killed last night. Who do you want to lynch?" Because elaborate stories are what makes a Mafia game in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan he/him Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I'm back from my thing, so I'm up to play. I've never played online, but the concept doesn't seem too difficult. Will the mod make up elaborate stories of what happens at night to update us all, or will it just be "So and so was killed last night. Who do you want to lynch?" Because elaborate stories are what makes a Mafia game in my experience. "Maggie, sadly, had chosen to wear a Starfleet security officer's uniform to a Mafia game. For this grave crime, the townsfolk had no choice but to invite her to a picnic, the path to which happened to contain a poorly concealed pit of spikes." "They did this not out of cruelty, but out of necessity, bowing to the inevitability of killing off a minor character in an amusing fashion--so as to establish the danger of the situation and create tension--while keeping more important characters alive to die in more tragic, meaningful, and heroic manners."

FeatherWriter she/her Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Must. Not. Link. To. TV Tropes. But yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about! Ehehe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan he/him Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Must. Not. Link. To. TV Tropes. But yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about! Ehehe! What is this TvTropes that you speak of? Why, I have no idea what that is. *Totally not taking joy in wasting countless hours of other people's lives.* Edited July 28, 2012 by Kurkistan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeatherWriter she/her Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) It was a dark and stormy night. A young girl was innocently browsing her favorite forums, thinking about playing a game with her friends online. But behind what seemed like an innocent link, something sinister waited. She saw the danger - recognized the tropes in use - but that small line beneath the words was so tempting. She had to click on it. There was no resisting. She'd just look at a few pages and then close the tabs... Early the next morning, FeatherWriter was found dead at her computer, causes unknown. The deceased was illuminated only by the soft glow of the computer screen in front of her and the 57 tabs open upon it. --- I'm pretty sure Kurkistan's in the mafia guys. You'd best lynch him quickly before the tropes get you all! Edited July 27, 2012 by FeatherWriter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
