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!

If the next game goes as I am hearing it will then I TOTALLY want to be in!!! Sounds totally sweet!

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 about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
