Mini-Mafia Game - Interesting Facts Edition

#1 Post by worcej » Wed Jun 30, 2021 5:37 pm

I'll be hosting a mini-mafia game to buy more time for the shenanigans that will be M69.

Setup is this link, but with modifications: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?ti ... ster_Mafia

The modifications are:
  • The doctor role is not a one shot, but is a regular one.
  • Mafia get a faction RB to combat the doctor and cop.
  • The Jester cannot claim they are the Jester or Mafia in order to get their win condition (which is to die during the day phase). In any event that they do, they automatically lose.
To trial something new: This game will have 24 hour phases, day and nights, and there will be NO POSTING in the main thread during night phases.

Start date is subjective to getting enough people, but goal would be on Monday, July 5th at 2:00 PM PT (UTC-8 for you non-heathens)

Win conditions:
  1. Town wins when they eliminate all of the Mafia. The Jester does not need to be eliminated in order for town to win.
  2. Mafia wins when they control 50% of the vote.
  3. Jester wins if they die via a day kill. They lose if they are NK'ed or are alive when the Mafia will control 50% of the vote.

Also, the Jester winning does not end the game.

This sounds unenforceable.

Can they say "I am NOT the Jester *wink* *wink*"
Can they claim cop/doc?
What if they propose that everyone claim that they are Mafia, but they refuse to claim anything?

I mean, it really isn’t enforceable other than the Jester just won’t be considered a winner.

Really, the rule is just there to say ‘hey guys, let’s not try to ruin the mini mafia game with mass claims please’.

And if someone wants to ruin the game as Jester just because they can, then that’s a sad reflection of them.

Are they allowed to act scummy, like voting for themselves, refusing to scumhunt, etc? I just don't understand what you would deem to count as a claim to be non-town. It is not very difficult to make it clear you are not town without explicitly claiming it.

If town did not need to kill the Jester in order to win, then it would be harder for the Jester to get themselves daykilled by being blatantly scummy.

The trick is to act scummy as Jester and eat a daykill in order for you to win as that 3P.

What I don't want to see is claims like 'Hey, I am the Jester town, so listen to me and eventually DK me okay?'

It clearly is going to be a somewhat subjective call.
I understood worcej simply to be trying to avoid gaming the role.

The Jester isn't supposed to be an entirely easy role and could be difficult to pull off.

If town needs to kill them to win, and they need to be daykilled to win, then it's an extremely easy role. Even Mafia would be happy daykilling them. The Jester just needs to make it obvious that they are the Jester, which is easy to do even if they are not allowed to explicitly claim it. Every single player in the game wants to daykill the Jester, how can they not win?

If town does not need to kill them in order for town to win, then the role makes more sense, because if they are outed then they are basically a clear and they have lost since they would never be daykilled.
