Some of you have heard about this "New System" last month, now it is time to present it:

What I want to implement here, is a Task system. What is this about? At the start of (Almost) every phase, a task will be presented for the alive Mafia players to do/solve. Upon resolving this tasks, the winner, or winners, depending on which task, will gain an advantage regarding the game (This can be interpretated as Hints, being able to use an ability their role isn't able to, get to know if a certain action was performed on you, and more things which I don't want to spoil now)

About the tasks: Every tasks will be connected to the Forum. I can't go into detail about them, since there'll be a time limit for each one of them. The important thing about them, is that they'll involve Mafia players, not Mafia characters. (In other words, Kleene, not Okiya ) So, since this New System is beyond Mafia itself, I want you, Mafia players, to vote, if you'd like to play a Mafia that exceeds the bounds of the normal Mafia games, or if you'd prefer to maintain the normal Mafia system. I don't have a problem with GMing whichever system wins
Last thing, which isn't a minor subject: In case of implementing the Task system, I'd like to exclude criminals from the rules, given that balancing the game with them is kinda complicated.

But, they're one in the same!

it's a neat idea, but two things:
1) Tasks should have 2 phases to be completed, not just the one. The 24 hour phases exist because some people don't get on until later, which would put them at even more of a disadvantage to the people who are on during the phase start. So, a Task revealed during Night 1 will only yeild its results once Night 2 hits.
2) Some people think mafia takes too much time anyway, so forcing them to wander into the forest of Off Topic to get an advantage might discourage some.

as for Criminals: They're an interesting idea but I don't think they should be a complete mainstay of the game (that is, they should be balanced around the rest of the game, the game shouldn't be balanced against them, so that GMs can remove them if they want)

Actually, this sounds more like it could be turned into a Survivor game like xpon's suggesting. Otherwise, what Akonyl said.

I wouldn't be against trying out the Task System.

Also, subscribing~

1) It is my original intention
2) That's an issue, sadly   This type of Mafia will take more time out of players without doubt... I've thought about giving 3 difficulty choices (Easy,Normal,Hard) so that people who doesn't wander a lot in the Forum, or newcomers, could have a better chance of gaining the advantage. Of course, resolving a harder task will result in a more rewarding prize.

I'll see about criminals. After playing a Round with them, I kinda changed my mind about them (Didn't like them at first)

Voted New Task system because I want to see it. And sign me up!
And wait, do town roles not get a task?

Every player will get the same task. And you reminded me of something:

Let's say there are 8 BOs, and the 8 of them correctly solve the Task: Only a part of them will be rewarded. I'm still working on it, but if not the BO would get a big advantage...

Oh, I see. Interesting. Also, not your round, but one round. Just for fun, we should have like... a free for all. It's all about the last one standing.

I should clarify, this won't be a Survival game XD

No

I know, I know XD Btw, any idea when your round starts?

I'll play hardest difficulty there is. ^^

Predicting now that this will be a huge understatement.
