Defining DM Mafia Roles and Balance

[Kivam]

Did Kivam say he thought he could host a game here without having to keep up with a ton of activity? Lol.

 

Darthe, if you think this is a ton of activity, never go near jn.

[Darthe]

I think I've been on JN for two years or so now.  

 

DM is way worse of late.  

[WWWwombat]

Mainly cuz Tommy and Salami.  Give them post limits and you're golden imo.

[Yates]

I just wanted to add to this:

Don't sign up for games with mods who have run "mindbenders" then

That's not really a realistic solution. In addition to the major point that has been made [you'd have to be in a game with a mod before knowing a mod does things like this] you also have to remember that mods can change their games and go from role madness to all vanilla. I'm not going to punish a mod for life because they wanted to have fun with a mindbender. I just want to KNOW it's a mindbender before I sign up. And I think that's reasonable.

 

Also, this is a friendly community that isn't ACTUALLY based on forum mafia. I'm not going to quit on a Krak game, for example, just because I don't like how he makes a role work no matter how frustrating that may be because he's a bro and that would be hurting him AND everyone else in the game.

I will label my next game [Advanced/Experimental/Mindbender].  You're still expected to play, Yates :P

I'll watch with a bucket of popcorn?

[DPR]

See, that's just progress in action is what that is. Problem solved.

You can. You just have to wear a mask (and masks are terribly comfortable).

[WWWwombat]

More like Blehroque...

[hazelkrs1]

Too bad I can't label them [DPR] and watch as people flock to their impending doom.

Kaylee and I will be labeling our next advanced game [DPR]. He knows why.

Keep the classifications of Basic and Advanced because everyone gets that.

 

Add the classifications of Classic and Abstract.

 

Classic mafia can focus on rules and structure. The mod can post a list of roles that may or may not appear in the game (with definitions of each role). Any circumstances such as bastard modding would be announced. 

 

Abstract would focus on games with ambiguous rules where the mod does not reveal what they're doing, the players have to sort through roles and powers and no one really has any idea of what's going on until the end.

 

Enthusiasts can choose the type of game they prefer and others can avoid circumstances that they do not enjoy. 

 

This is good.

[Barmacral]

I label everything I do as [DPR]. He knows why.

[Verbal32]

So that time you bought me dinner and then we went back to.......and then you yelled DPR while......oh god.

 

 

This is so awkward now.

[Barmacral]

And you thought it was the mask I made you wear.

[Verbal32]

Now you're just airing our dirty laundry.

[Barmacral]

Too easy.

[Yates]

Now you're just airing our dirty laundry.

Is that why you returned the sock I "accidentally" left at your place with two holes in it?

[DPR]

Don't feel bad - there are multiple support groups that deal with this specific issue.
