Would anyone be interested in...

[Christine]

a mafia where the roles and alignments were not revealed?

 

I realized in writing the scenes for my Elizabethan Mafia that, if you kill someone, you have no idea of whether or not they were innocent or guilty. I know that you can find out a lot from alignments being revealed after a lynch or a NK, but what if they weren't revealed?

 

Anywho, was just wondering if anyone had any interest... Was thinking of having my next mafia with a basic set up (Because who doesn't love a good ole basic game?) but not having death reports.

[Amadine]

It's called a No-Coroner game... they can be fun and infuriating LOL

[Red2111]

a no corner game can be both fun and frustrating. i'd be up for it; so long as there was an undertaker or some role to get a corners report lol

I ran a no-coroner game once, and aside from the game being probably rather unbalanced (it was the first game where everyone had a role) I think the innocent team got kinda screwed by the lack of coroner, as I didn't have any way for them to determine alignments. So keep that in mind if you're going to set up such a game.

[Leelou]

No coroner games can be very fun!

[Niniel]

I have never tried it. How can town win?

[Hybrid]

Verbal ran a no coroner bastard mod game on MJ, plus our information roles were inactives, plus a bunch of other ridiculous difficulties due to the game setup, and the town still won.

 

Good times. Featured one of my luckiest plays in mafia ever -- I was horribly wrong with a hunch, but it turned out to have a good result.

 

(This was back-to-back with Princess Bride, two of the best and most fun games I've played and two amazing town victories)

[Christine]

I was thinking of doing the simple old basic set up, so nothing too crazy, but throwing in a coroner finding ability for two townies. I guess it would still count as an Advanced game though..

[LilyElizabeth]

Personally, I don't like them and try very hard not to play in them.

 

 

But that's just me. If you want to give it a try, go for it.

[Tiinker]

I've only played in one once and decided I wouldn't do it again. I'm sure they can be real fun for people but I prefer to play mafia where my head doesn't explode every time day ends..

[Christine]

This is why I asked! I was looking to see who was interested!

[Nolder]

I'd play in a no reveal game

 

might I suggest making it an open setup though?

 

so we know what roles are in the game but we wont know who has what role when they die

[Christine]

No it would definitely be established. There would be a list of exactly how many of each role there was.

[Sakaea]

It would depend on the theme for me, whether I would play or not. If I was interested in the theme, I would probably play regardless.

Heh, Kivs ruined no-coroner games for me, even though I was on his team to start... I seriously am way too gullible for the lack of mod info with these games. I would definitely only suggest this kind of game for very good players, or people who don't mind a bit of frustration beyond the norm for mafia.

[Niniel]

Can anyone give me a link to one of those games? (A basic one.)

[Leelou]

This one was quite interesting, definately not basic though. Tea Party

I love you, Hybrid.

 

 

Also, don't talk more about that game - see my name in the signups for advanced? That game is coming to DM.

[Christine]

Verbal, you will be running a No Coroner game? If so, then I may just wait to see how yours goes before I consider running one myself.

I wasn't sure, so I tried to keep it as vague as possible. This will be interesting . . .

Yes. There will be no mod-coroner. There are balances in place, but it is difficult at first. But my game is a full bastard mod game - not just little tricks.....so you could always watch that one and go from there. Totally up to you!

[Adella]

What is a bastard mod game anyway?

[Barmacral]

A game where you have to out-think the mod. They've generally put in something exceedingly clever so the players can't necessarily win. Ask Kivam about his red scare game, it was a bit of a failure, but a total bastard mod game.

Heh. It was a mafia game with no mafia (all players were bombs, so once there was a single lynch, it would look like there were NKs). The town needed to no-lynch twice to win. I did tip the "no mafia" thing a bit hard in the setup, though (it was all about McCarthyism). It took a player with some historical knowledge to figure it out.

Read my Machine of Souls game on JN if you'd like an idea of 1 kind of bastard mod game. I have another that I'll run here on DM eventually.
