Sorry I thought there weren't enough appeal or interest in the quick game of Mafia so I just let it go.

The first game ended with 10 members left and the Mafia have lost all their members.

Although I don't think the Gunner/Zombie would work out right, I think you should try to run the rules and see how effective it is. Meanwhile I will try to conceptualize, and with the coding of lylesback2, produce a PHP voting system for future Mafia games.

Yeah, I'm not convinced of the necessity of the gunner and/or zombie, I really like the rest of the rules. I think it should be a lot of fun.

However, I think we've noticed that the "fun-factor" is much more about the amount of participation among those playing than the rules of the game.

One thing I might like to see implemented is Mafia "recruitment". If a Mafia member becomes "inactive" or otherwise quits the game, the Mafia can choose to attempt to recruit a townsperson to take their place. The townsperson could then choose to become Mafia or out the player who contacted them as Mafia. The townspeople could then choose to believe the outing or not.

Anyway, I'll try to play again - this is so much fun!

I can't say very much.. since i don't know the details.. but Season 2 didn't finish, and may re-start a quick season 2 over again.

Season 3 is in the works..

As some of you have requested, here is the spreadsheet used in this game.

http://www.jtothey.com/public/neowin%20mafia%202.html

Red members are Mafia,

Purple is the Doctor,

Blue is the Sheriff,

Green is the Alliance.

Days progress from right to left, the day listed at the top, first being the Night Cycle then the Day cycle when everyone votes. Death sorted from bottom up, vote percentages listed on the bottom. Hope you guys can read it.

--------------

Season 3 is perhaps done by Lt-DavidW for the moment, and a voting system is in the works by me and lylesback2? Maybe this will be used for the Season after 3 depending on progress.

Yeah, and I think we can all thank reiverjohn for most of that. That really was an amazing show of detective work and team-building. WTG!

lol thanks ! but (a) i was wrong about shof. i didnt think he was mafia and was surprised to see him turn out to be. and (b) i very nearly asked people to vote against someone who was innocent--the sherriff in fact ! luckily i came round to my senses in time.

but the point here really is to get the pms going, get in touch with people and test them out, dont be silent, get involved in the game. its a treacherous sort of thing, this game, but it can be quite fun. :D

If a townsperson were to accept recruitment, it is only fair that they officially change team. This means that the moderator would confirm the recruitment and change of team with the recruit and all Mafia members (not townspeople obviously). This means that if the recruit is simply trying to infiltrate the Mafia to pass on info. to the townspeople, then the recruit is actually cheating himself as he is officially part of the Mafia team.

Otherwise it would be too easy for the recruit to pick and choose his side.

And what if the Mafia unknowingly recruit a Sheriff or Doctor? What then?

I think that makes sense. I think that just having the idea of recruitment out there adds another level of deception, whether it actually happens or not.

If the Mafia recruit a Sheriff or Doctor then they have either gotten very lucky or have worked very hard and done their homework! It wouldn't be too different from them offing the doctor or sheriff, and makes the importance of player participation that much more integral.

Actually, I was thinking more about the consequences of a doctor breaking the Hippocratic Oath to murder civilians, and a Sheriff turning to the dark side. Do we really want to witness this?

lt dave, i think we have already witnessed a lot of treachery. the game seems made for it. why not let it be 'anything goes' as it already seems to be ?

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

      It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • USB Port Optimization for best locations for devices

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
