The SV Mafia Megathread

@Dekutulla , add me to the wait list with Sidekick Mafia?

Greetings, malcontents, mini-mes, and the many maladjusted minions! It is I, the Master of Games!
This place to which I have displaced you, this perilous platform, sits surrounded by the shadow realm, a place of dreams and little else. You cannot leave it! You cannot flee from or fight it! You can only play the game, and what a game it is!

You stand before me wearing your false selves, the faces you were born with but cast aside in favor of the iconography of illegals or the signature style of a savior, in a phrase -your secret identities. No one here knows the true name of any other nor anyone else's secret power, save I.

But enough of that blather! Sidekicks! I have stolen you from your homes, your schools, your places of part-time work, and from all manner of ages from brightest gold to darkest rust, because you have all made a wish that I shall generously grant you. Every one of you wished to be relevant, to have meaning beyond make-work and terrifying trembling two-bit thugs!

But that cannot come without two prices that must be paid, my dears. First is the price of sacrifice. The time of your childhood is over. You will either leave this place as heroes and villains in your own right, or die...

...Of embarrassment.

Uhumph.

The second price is entertainment, and I can already tell that we're going to have a grand old time, so let's get to it, shall we?

Let me just hand out these cards that will tell you what your role, ability, and victory condition are, and then we can get started.


That is an issue. I might want to try and get something running on another site in the meantime, but there's no harm in letting this sit and wait.

There was some interest relatively recently in seeing if we had enough players to run two games at once, or maybe two games with staggered start times?

Maybe it'd be worth trying if the next person in line has plans for a fairly small roster. That'd be you, @Dekutulla, right?

Oh wow, the vote tally's acting up in a Mafia Game? If only there was a way to count votes without the automated process so we didn't need to put more effort into making the automated process work only to have it mess up anyway :V

On the other hand, manually tallying is a giant pain in the ass and the issues with using the tally in mafia games are always human error, every time. And when it isn't being fouled up by people fouling it up, it's faster, easier, and more efficient.
If you use a tool wrong, of course it's not gonna work as intended. That's like trying to pound in a nail by holding the hammer by the head and swatting at the nail with the handle, then complaining about how hammers suck and rocks are way better.

Question. How do you unvote on that? I don't mean change your vote, but just not vote for someone after you already voted for them.
 
I have a mechanics idea for a mafia game, it's pretty weird, but I don't know if I have the time to actually run it.

ah, that's awkward. if @LostDeviljho wants to go, he may, otherwise there'll be a delay

I was expecting a little more buffer, so not everything is complete. I might be able to get the game up by the end of the day but I make no promises.

Pretty much what TPK said. You need to change your vote to something that isn't one of the players of the game, be it "nobody" or "abstain" or "null" or whatever, as long as it's clearly not another player.

[X] Throw my vote away into a screaming void of uselessness.
 
I'm interested in starting a game. Is there a limit to the number of people who can be on the waitlist, or should I just apply/ask?
 
@Dekutulla

I would like to apply for a slot with (title in progress) 'Glitched Simulation Werewolf Town'.

Curiously, are there any ideas floating around for how to hybridize a Mafia game with an X-COM inspired GSRP? In this case, the 'Mafia' would be nations subverted by the aliens.
