The Big New Yorker- [TBNY] concept thread

[Double A]

Yes, it does. Thanks Pizza!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Perhaps some numbers would help,

A Mafia Don will usually be the most skilled at performing a murder. (This means his chance of performing a successful kill will quickly climb over 100%, in other words having a chance to murder through protection, and at some point will have a 200% chance, which kills through almost any protection.)

A serial killer will be the next most skilled. (They start off under 100%, but can climb to 200%, making them as deadly as the deadliest Mafia Don)

High ranking mafiosi or townie assassin will be the next most skilled. (Even untrained, gangsters performing a kill correctly, with the right numbers involved, begin at 100% as a base standard, then you add in items and any other multipliers. Townie assassins will be formidable, once trained.)

Less skilled vigilantes and mafia wiseguys will be the next most skilled. (These roles will kill at close to, but not quite, 100% efficiency against an unarmed target)

Finally, amateur criminals trying to bust heads will not be very proficient at it. (There will be considerably less than 100% efficiency, and there will be a fair chance of being caught or injured in the process)

[Double A]

Yeah that helps

I'm not seeing anything about strippers or hookers, am I missing something in the rules?

[Subotan]

Uh oh...random percentage chance of successful kills...

It's not a random percentage, Pizza already has the numbers worked out

I have already formed three likely scenarios for this game, based on what I know of you and who I predict will join the game. Then I rolled all of the results.

• First of all, if 87 people join the game, then Yaseikhaan wins the game for the town by becoming a one-man townie death squad and simply assassinating everyone, ending up hitting an impressive 4 mafia Dons personally. When asked why he was being such an awesome townie this game, he said and I quote: "I wasn't trying to win the game for the town. I just wanted to kill things."
  
• If 93 people join the game, then Tincow wins the game by being the owner of the last corporation left standing. Interestingly enough, he started his own Corporation and still won because he is that bureaucratically efficient.
  
• If I get 100 people to join the game, then I foresee God Emperor winning the game as a Serial Killer. Incidentally, what he does to Romanic in round 17 is too horrendous to describe.

Check "Game Roles"

See:


Roleblocker path: (Criminal)

Working with 4 others, you must successfully block someone 3 times (level 1) then successfully block someone 3 more times (level 2) and then 3 more times (level 3).

- Level 1 [Sergeant/Singer] 50% chance of blocking someone.
- Level 2 [Lieutenant/Dancer] 75% chance of blocking someone.
- Level 3 [Captain/Prostitute] 100% chance of blocking someone.

Say if we are allocated the role of the Owner of a Coropration, can we rename it?

....No.

[Secura]

The tireless production machine rolls on, huh? :P

I admire how you devised this alongside the Star Wars one that you've got planned too... I've struggled to pull a small game together, two large games at once is way out of my league! I'm certain that this will be just as good as the rest of your games, and I'm sure alot of people are going to enjoy it. :3

[Methos]

I voted "Consider me signed up!"

[Skooma Addict]

Ditto ^^^ Count me in

[wideyedwanderer]

I'm in.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I tried planning (in my head) this type of game while back. But couldn't get it to work out, so its nice to see someone do it
It looks great. I'll definitely try my best to join this game if time allows it.
Curse you pizza for creating fun looking games

In!

[remake20]

Sure WTH I'll play.

[landlubber]

I'm interested, but I am a little confused. The mafia Dons can recruit, right? Do they start with any partners, or do they have to recruit them all?

[landlubber]

Oh, and another question: You get to choose what night job you enter, as long as you work with other people, correct? Can you change your job once you've reached level one of one job?

They can recruit, and start with nobody.

Oh, and another question: You get to choose what night job you enter, as long as you work with other people, correct? Can you change your job once you've reached level one of one job?

You can choose what night job you enter, as long as you work with other people.

You can attempt to perform any task at any time, but if you have not reached the second level in that task (i.e. you can attempt the action by yourself now) then you must perform the task with the required number of people.

[landlubber]

Reserving a spot.

[scottishranger]

In if it starts. Looks really interesting

[classical_hero]

This is interesting, but we should wait for the new Year to start this and wait for some of the Capo fatigue to go away.
