    Default This is a really bad idea mafia- SIGN UP SHEET

    This is an experimental mafia game sign-up.

    Current player list:


    1. dp101
    2. El Barto
    3. monstrbro
    4. Generalhankerchief
    5. Montmorency
    6. Cass_
    7. Sooh
    8. Renata
    9. Al Sipsclar
    10. Cuthillius
    11. Zack
    12. dicetosser1
    13. choxorn
    14. atheotes
    15. BSmith
    16. Winston Hughes
    17. Jabbz
    18. Schema
    19. Visor
    20. Csargo
    21. Riedquat


    There will be two factions, town and mafia.
    There will be no recruitment, forced or otherwise.
    There will be no unusual role PMs, such as jesters. If you get a power role, it will be fairly normal stuff.
    Your win conditions will be known, normal, and straightforward.

    The gimmick here will be....

    Representative Democracy!!!

    It's a really, really bad idea. But I'm going to go with it anyway if I get enough people. Ideally we should get about 20 people or more, otherwise the concept doesn't really work.

    The players will be randomized into an odd number of districts.
    Each district will elect a representative, and only that representative will actually vote in a manner that matters when it comes to the lynch.
    The rule for districts is that the largest-sized district cannot have two or more people more than the smallest-sized district, so all districts will be of the same approximate size, off by a maximum of 1 person.
    As people die off, the districts may need to be re-drawn.
    At game start, there will be a special election for "Chancellor-for-life".
    Only the Chancellor can re-draw districts.
    If the Chancellor dies, a special election for the new Chancellor will happen.
    Whenever the size difference between districts becomes 2 or more, the Chancellor will decide who goes in what district.
    Districts have a minimum size of 3 people.
    Districts can be as large as you like, but there must always be 3 or more districts, and there must always be an odd-number of districts.
    District voting ends when there are 8 players or fewer, because at that point, there would be either one district, or an even number of districts, or districts would end up with 2 people or 1 person.
    If the voters in a district tie, they will not have a representative that round.
    If the district representatives' lynch vote ends in a tie, the Chancellor decides between the tied candidates, and someone will be lynched anyway.

    D11: Choxorn is lynched, because he's choxorn.
    Mafia wins! Congratulations Monty, Reidquat and BSmith, for winning a fictional example game I pulled out of my butt.


    Why the gimmick? Because it gives the mafia opportunities to become Chancellor and create unrepresentative results, possibly. Or maybe to give a decent scum hunter a chance to lynch scums without needing consensus. Who knows? I'm evil and I want to prove how amazing representative democracy is for the average voter.

    Yes, participation in my democracy is mandatory. I automatically signed everyone up and you basically have to /out to not be in.

    j/k but I could always be not kidding, you never know. I'm unpredictable.

    There will be a need for more discussion and a need for more voting time than 24 hours with this setup. I think you'll find on a round where you need to elect a new dictator Chancellor, some folks will be wishing for 3 day day phases. But we gotta keep it to 3 day day-night cycles or faster to keep things moving.

    VERY USEFUL INFO:

    Game will include players from USA, Europe, and Australia. To accommodate this, I am tentatively choosing to end Day Phases and Night Phases at 8:30 pm my time. This will allow our Aussie players to sometimes see end of days at 630am their time, it will allow me to end phases not in the middle of my night time, and it will allow USA people to have end of day around noon-afternoon depending on where they are. Days will be 48 hours, so regardless of phase end, you should be able to lodge a vote for Chancellor and a vote for the lynch at least once per day.

    Posting minimums: You will be required to post twice per day, and vote at least once per day. If you fail to meet that minimum, it's entirely possible bad things will happen to you, without going into detail.

    All of these rules / FAQ things will be assembled into a single post at the start of the game thread when I am ready, so don't worry about missing them here.

    Just read the Game start host posts and you should be OK.

    Also responded to dice via IM, but the past few games on here are a good indicator. Most players won't crack 50 posts all game long, and the ones that do typically range from 50-200 ish for a several week game.

    The highlighted leaves me as the only neutral who will not show favoritism towards any continent (or Religion). You can also be guaranteed that i will be fast asleep while EOD shenanigans take place...meaning i will not make any rash decisions! Chancellor for LIFE!

    I just found a critical flaw with the setup. Pizza is always mafia, but he is the host so we can't lynch him, and thus town cannot win.
