[Experimental/Advanced] No Roles Disney Mafia Signups

[LilyElizabeth]

No Roles Disney Mafia game

Modded by Lily and Jack

 

This game is unlike what you are used to. You will start off with only an alignment – no role. Throughout the game, you will earn points. Those points can be used to purchase items which will work only one time. These items will give you abilities – you can view another player, or protect yourself from night actions, etc. There will even be an anti-lynch item. The more you post (content) the more points you will probably get. Win conditions will be standard. Town wins when mafia is all gone. Mafia wins when their numbers equal or exceed surviving townies.

 

Players earn points for: game related posts, figuring things out (town) or creating a good WIFOM or misleading lie (mafia), and impressing us, which isn’t easy, but can be done in various ways, many of which we probably haven’t thought of yet.  Also for acting as your character would act, or, if mafia, the character you wish to pretend to be will earn some points. This game is kind of a combo of Pete’s WT game and DPR’s Call Your Shot game, both from years ago. If you want to pull something off and want points for it, PM us with it to be sure we pay attention. In other words, call it.

 

Players lose points for: Walls of Text. Firstly, neither of your mods read them when we’re playing a game. Secondly, you’ll earn more points by splitting your thoughts up into more posts, anyway. Be succinct.

 

Prices on the items may change daily. The OP will always reflect the day’s pricing.

 

Normally, we do not allow revealing of your character, but since it’s Disney and there are so many characters to choose from, we will allow it this game.

 

Game balance is entirely in your hands. Which side wins depends on which side does the most. This does not mean you MUST post a lot. Great ideas are worth more than numerous posts. Activity will matter, true, but activity is more than being chatty. Posts will be worth 0-5 points, but we can exceed that at our whim. Mods are gods. Impress us.

 

Objects may be purchased at any time, via your PM thread, and use of objects will occur at night simultaneously. Nights will be short, so get your requests for use of items in quickly. (You may request during the day phase, but it won’t take effect until night.)

 

• Standard mafia rules apply. Stay within the spirit of the game and the edicts of good sportsmanship.
• This is a hammer game. When the hammer falls, no more votes will be counted.
• Bold votes and unvotes. Unvote before voting again.
• If no majority is reached by the deadline, a random player will be killed and no coroner report will be given.
• If you have any questions, ask on your PM thread.

Alright.  I'll play but one question...

 

How do you avoid the bias where mods may give more points to people for stating things in a way the mods like or for being correct in their assumptions/thoughts?

[amegakure]

i like this it's vaguely similar to my next game i want in.. 

[Alanna]

Me! (I've been waiting for your signups, Lily :D)

 

Hadn't you talked about doing a game like this a long time ago? Or am I just remembering DPR's similar game? As soon as I saw the title 'No Roles Disney,' it seemed familiar to me.

[amegakure]

i have a question too. If someone comes up with a great line of thought on why so and so is scum and then gets 3000 points wont that clue them into knowing whose scum? 

[Darthe]

That is essentially what I asked.

[Nolder]

I like the concept but feel it may need some sort of refinement.

Like Darthe noted I have concerns about bias. And I don't mean intentional.

For example you just might find one player funnier than another which could snowball into being more impressed with a move or line than someone you don't like as much.

[Darthe]

Also, what is a good play for mafia doesn't always equate to what is a good play for town.

[amegakure]

darthe your statement looked more along the lines of favoritism mine is more along the lines of mods doing the scumhunting by rewarding points. 

 

If your idea is good it means you're heading in the right direction. points get awarded and player is aware of this. They then Spearhead original target now with basis of the mods gave me points. i must be right. 

[Darthe]

I am excited by this concept and curious to see how it will play out.  I hope Lily doesn't take this questioning amiss, it sounds very difficult to balance.

[hazelkrs1]

Well regardless I'm in. Sounds intriguing to the max. And somewhat similar to the TORIKO HAS AIDS game that Tommy ran on MF lol.

[nervositee]

I'm in! :D

Which was a ball =)

[nervositee]

But it could be either "Here is 3000 points for doing some great scumhunting" or "Here is 3000 points for being a convincing "townie" and throwing town off". We wouldn't know which one it was, so points would be hard to use as alignment-reads, no?

[amegakure]

Agreed. and im sure the mods have thought about this themselves, but i for one would be quite invigorated by getting points and persue my suspect with increased persistence

 

Either way playing should be quite fun and a good lesson on this setup before i start mine.

There really isn't a safeguard in place for that. This game is really just a huge experiment and it may very well be a huge trainwreck. But with two mods, there ought to be less bias. 

[LilyElizabeth]

Me! (I've been waiting for your signups, Lily :D) Hadn't you talked about doing a game like this a long time ago? Or am I just remembering DPR's similar game? As soon as I saw the title 'No Roles Disney,' it seemed familiar to me.

Yes, I wrote this game several years ago, and haven't had the guts to run it till now. 

[LilyElizabeth]

There will not be 3000 points given out for any one post. You will receive your day's total  (and night's total) and that is all. I encourage speculation as to why you got what you got. 

[LilyElizabeth]

I am excited by this concept and curious to see how it will play out.  I hope Lily doesn't take this questioning amiss, it sounds very difficult to balance.

It's impossible to balance. Balance is in the hands of the players. Completely. 

[nervositee]

Imo, balance is overrated anyway. Fun games ftw. 

[LilyElizabeth]

Nolder, are you in?

[BFG]

I'd like to play, but I have to wait for a game to finish first. Backup?

[BeeGee]

In

[LilyElizabeth]

I won't be using backups this game, but maybe your other game will finish first, BFG. 

[BeeGee]

This sound like fun. Looking forward to it
