1 Day Mafia Game

[ReleaseTheEvil]

The discussion of deadlines and lengths of phases has come up before. And talk of some games that did this differently, perhaps on different sites.

 

I propose the following: I want to mod a game that lasts a day. 1 day. It likely won't have many players, hopefully enough for a balanced game obviously, but the whole thing will take one day. Short days, short nights, thinking an hour or two max. Less people playing, unless people think they can do this, and we play on a day that everyone is free (maybe during the Holidays or on a specific day or whatever).

 

Thoughts? Interest in playing in such a game?

 

Obviously there would have to be a high post volume in a short amount of time. And penalties for letting lynches go random.

 

I think it would be very interesting and a lot of fun personally. Let me know what you think.

[Darthe]

Yeah I would play.

[ReleaseTheEvil]

There is a question of time zones but I'd probably rather go for less (within one day) than more (two days). Of course this is still very much conceptual so thoughts and input are helpful.

 

Happy to see it Darthe. Figured as much.

[Lenlo]

Id give it a shot. I love wacky games.

[csarmi]

only works on weekend for me

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Date would be flexible. As long as it works for all players. Would likely be set quite long before. Not to mention my game would need to go through the queue and all.

[Niniel]

It sounds fun but I think it would be hard because of the different timezones. Maybe if everyone is in the same timezone? IDK.

[Andrej]

I'd definitely play.

[_CLOUD]

I would be interested in playing provided that it's on a day when I don't have much stuff going on :D

[Nolder]

I was going to do something like this soon.

I might still, but yeah I'd play provided I am free on the day you choose to run it.

 

Edit: IMO this will go smoother if you pick your day and people either join or can't make it rather than trying to work around everyone's schedule who's interested.

I've tried to do things like this in the past and when you're dealing with different time zones and countries not to mention jobs and whatnot it can be impossible to please everyone. The only thing you can really do in my experience is set a day/time and see if enough people can make it.

[ReleaseTheEvil]

According to interest thus far it would have to be according to a NA time zone. Likely means I'll need a NA co-mod

 

This is already a decent number. Might put it through on the Basic queue. Think this would be best as a basic but open to ideas. But given constraints definitely thinking Basic.

Thanks Nolder, sounds like a good idea. Wondering if weekday or weekend works best. I know weekends are usually quiet here and people usually play at work. Thoughts folks?

 

Guess it depends a bit on who signs up. I understand what you mean but will have to see who signs up for it.

[Nolder]

Well if you were planning to put it through Basic maybe you can see what I do with the idea first and see what worked and what didn't.

I'm coming up in the Advanced queue and I think it's likely that I wont run another KH game until next year so I'll probably run something else I've been sitting on.

I think I might adapt it to play in "real time". That is, Day lasts from 5am to...say 7pm and night phase is inbetween. Or maybe I wont I dunno. It was just an idea I've been toying with. I might not be able to do that because of how restrictive it is to people in other countries. But yeah if I do do this or something similar maybe it will help you put yours together.

 

As far as days of the week go, if I was going to do a game in hours I would do it on friday evening since most people on this site prefer to disappear on weekends and regular weeknights can be too busy or tiring for them to want to play a whole mafia game in one night.

[hazelkrs1]

I'd play. Would fit right in with the Europeans since I work third shift.

 

Also, there was a group of us not that long ago that used to get together for quick chat mafia games, at epicmafia or w/e it's called. The regular mafia players on that site kinda stink to play with, but we would make a private DM game. Games were usually small, but fun. Just a thought if you wanted to try something like that, could make it like a weekly thing or something since you wouldn't have to wait in DM's queue.

[Niniel]

That was fun. But we never got enough players. 

[Andrej]

Again, I'd play.

Yeah what Tina said. I was trying to make it a weekly or even nightly thing but it never took off with most of the players here.

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Will do Nolder. Looking forward to your game.

A note to whoever mods this: speed games like this tend to give mafia the advantage in my experience, so buff town a bit.

[dapianoplay3r]

Ill play if im free. Ill probably have to do a night shift lol due to timezones

I'm a zombie  My house got destroyed. Somehow mafia wasn't my top priority. My life is now somewhat put back together, and am poking about in here, obviously.

[Nolder]

You alright?

A lot of people were worried about you.

[peacesells]

You alright?

A lot of people were worried about you.

 

This.  You disappeared while Modding a pretty big game.  We seriously thought something happened to you.

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Good to see you again. Hope things are alright, or getting better at least...
