Seasons?

[SBoydW]

In my severe sleep deprived state I've had an idea.... so please be patient... because this is coming from me... who is in a sleep deprived state.... since I already said that and am about to start rambling onto the Idea..

 

I'm proposing a Mafia Season, and as we all know if there's a season there's a league, and where there's a league there's teams.  So, I see that there has been a spike in activity with lots of new players.  The Mafia season will last say.... 6 months.  At the end of it the team who's players has accumulated the most points is declared league champ.  Then for the new season we can even institute a draft based on the individual players stats (innocent wins alive, innocent wins dead, evil wins alive, evil wins dead, stats are negotiable)from last year. 

 

So let's see if I can break down my thoughts some.

 

 

-Season Length: 6 Months with 1-2 month breaks in between seasons

-Teams of 10

-Teams with most points at the end of the season wins.

-Team Captains depend on how many teams there are.

-Innocent wins alive: you're on the innocent team and the innocent team wins with you still being alive alive.(4 pts.)

-Innocent wins dead: you're an innocent and the innocent team wins only you died in the process.(2 pts.)

-Evil wins alive: you're on the evil team and the evil team wins with you still being alive(5 pts.)

-Evil wins dead: you're on the evil team and the evil team wins only you died in the process (3 pts.)

-Team member mods a game 3 points or maybe there can be permanent mods like refs.

 

For the start of the new season there will be a new draft and team captains "draft players".  They will chose in order of how their team did last year. Worst team's captain chooses first best chooses last.  Players will be ranked on their points and how many games they played so basically average out.

 

Now games will continue to play as usual there maybe players from three different teams in one game.

 

This obviously is in need of refinement so please post your ideas

what do we do with cases of inactivity?

 

and just curious as to why evil teams get awarded more points when it seems like the evil teams win more

 

(Dsages Halloween game was the first innocent win in awhile before this recent spree)

 

other then that I really like the idea^^

you tap into the farm system.. the newbies. they can temporarily replace team members.

Points are negotiable

I like our farm system  8)

I like the idea too, but I'm still wrapping my brain around it.  Is it possible that team members would play against each other in certain games?

Not the way the game was played.  People would be "put into the game" by the team captain. From say four different teams the team captains put in 3 players each. One team would be evil the other three teams would be innocent.

 

Also once a player is in a game they can only be in that game on the OG boards.  But the team captain can assign other players to other games there by allowing multiple games to continue to run.

[Vemynal]

wait but don't we then run into the problem with DPR's game? that lynch one member of the mafia and now everyone knows who the mafia is because they are on the same team.

[SBoydW]

Those games won't be part of the season then.  The season games will be fairly standard.  Like you have the NBA, but then you have the Harlem Globe Trotters

Here's where I would differ:

 

1. Teams of 5, more teams, more competition

2. Your team scores the points depending on how each player that was in the game did, however, while in the game, your team does not effect alignment.

 

Beyond that, I'd have to re-read it to make more sense of what your going for, I'm quite confused really.

[SBoydW]

yeah so am I... I was at about 34 hours straight when I posted it...

say maybe it was teams of three instead, then you could have them in three seperate games runing simultaniously  (cos 4 teams of 10 in one game=40 players ... i dont think we have quite that many yet) and play them are short games then maybe mix them up so evey body plays agains (with sounded a bit wrong :-\ ) everybody else, and if it the short games it will be nice and quick. meby could have three set leves of game, newbie level, normal, and fiendish (like a wes or kivam level of game) and rotate through them. more points for wining in the hard ones, less for the easy ones. and yeh i always thought playing as evil was easiyer, and staying alive as an unroled innocent can be quite hard (especially if your vemy :P ) but it might be fairer with equal points because then it would be me skills based, than luck of the draw

Would newbie games be exempt? Would at least allow less pressure on those games, and a bit of a chance just to play for the hell of it.

 

wait but don't we then run into the problem with DPR's game? that lynch one member of the mafia and now everyone knows who the mafia is because they are on the same team.

 

I get Vemy's point here. We would surely know after a few games whose on which teams (even if its secret), ie if you end up lynching Vemy and finding him evil, then you know that Alys and FDM (teammates) would also be evil because that was a similar setup in another game...

 

Aaaaand finally, *seconds Barm's proposal*

[Alys Kinch]

i'll reread this when i have more time...

 

haha bob

This topic doesn't really need to be stickied, we can continue the discussion just fine without the bold text at the top of our forum.
