Mafia Mafia Mafia! Pt. 2! (Game 4: Town wins!)

[TheBlind]

Quick Question:

Are we suppose to be in character inside this thread and PMs at all times?(Of course if you are Mafia, you pretend to be someone else)

[Conia]

No. You can do whatever you want.
For example: You're allowed to check hot guys if your role is Ran

You can be if you'd like.  Normally I try to stay in character as much as possible but when you're BO that normally only means in pms.  Okay, well, I don't always stay in character... normally it's "in character with a twist".  But I do call people by their roles via pm.  I even had a blast calling Sonoko, Samuel L. Jackson last round. 

[Tanner-kun]

LOL XD

I'll try to be more "in character" as well.

Sherry should also only be allowed to do is only at day (or only at night, but her day-ability makes her more differnet from the BO). She's still too strong otherwise.

What if she can only investigate a certain number of people for the entire game?  Only 1 person per day or night.  Three people, maybe.  That way her power is more limited.  She'll have to decide whether to use her three times in the beginning (in case she gets killed) or later (to check someone suspected of being BO)

Vermouth will not show up only if disguised. That's important.

Yes, I'll add that in.

Don't you want to rise the Investigation Number? Or use the whole new system suggested:

I quite like it the way it is.  Even in Conan, the police and the FBI aren't the main crime fighters, Conan and his posse are.  It would make sense for them to be more powerful than the police.

I suppose you will not use the Detective Boys, right?

Correct

You should think about how the BO decides whom to kill if there is no Anakota. Last game, we handled it by electing a "BO leader", who simply made the decision (but did not have any other abilities). However, perhaps you won't need it. This system was for the sake of not allowing a certain person (guess who) to commit suicide.

I'll add that in as an option for the BO.


But no mayor... I don't like that idea.  If they elect a BO member then that gives the BO a HUGE advantage.  I don't like the idea of giving a person two votes either.  So far it seems that there have been people around who the townspeople follow anyway so a mayor is unnecessary.

As for Sonoko... what if her friend is picked for her by the GM?  That way, if a BO is picked, they can adjust the roles accordingly so that the BO doesn't have too many members?

you *could*, but that takes a little bit of the fun out of the role

as callid suggested, instead of friending people, you could have sonoko choose a few roles to friend, and then you could choose a random one of those to let her friend. So, if I'm sonoko I can say "I wanna friend Araide, Agasa, Eisuke or Shinichi", and then you get to decide which of those I friend. So, if for example Eisuke isn't in the game, and the Vermouth player chose to disguise as Shinichi's player, you can choose either the Agasa or Araide to make me friends with, and then tell me "Your best friend is Araide (mangaluva)!" This way also prevents the whole "friending a BO" situation.

but, handle it how you want, as it is up to you in the end.

Almost time for the prep phase to begin.  To the newcomers, only those active in the prep phase (foreigners, Eri, 1412, Vermouth, Yumi, and Sonoko) will know their role.  The rest of ya'll will learn the first night.

[Sakina]

All pms for the prep phase have now been sent out.

Still, the police seems to be as strong as the FBI. Ofc, FBI can't arrest someone, but they should be at least better in investigation. So it would be nice if the FBI would have #+2 investigations compared to the police (like: police has 4 and the FBI would have 6 instead of just 5)

blah blah blah

You say that the police seem to be as strong as the FBI but it seems to me that the police should be stronger if anything.  Remember that the FBI are still acting illegally in Japan.  The police still have more authority than they do.  They're getting by through the use of their contacts and probably favors owed.  They must remain secret so they cannot exert to much power.

Cause you're not special!  Ha!

True. Whether the FBI or the police should be stronger is something to decide on your own. But since they "getting by through the use of their contacts and probably favors owed" they should have a better Investigation ability than the Police. And even with more investigation power, they wont be able to jail them like the police.
That's my point of view ;p

imo, the fbi should have a higher investigator because even though they're acting illegally, they're the only ones who know anything about what's going on with the Black Org situation, to which the police are pretty clueless.

But I'd say keep em as they are because this game's basically started.
