Coming soon, the next Mafia!...

**Kommodus** · 10-06-2006, 18:43

Hey all,

My Mafia game will be starting soon (by the end of the weekend, I promise). I apologize that it hasn't started yet, but some personal things have gotten in the way, and I haven't finished the backstory yet. In about a week and a half my schedule will clear up and I'll have more time for writing (but as I said the game will start well before this).

In the meantime, I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to have any input on the following things:

1. Game Title

I'm thinking something along the lines of Cosa Nuova: A New Mafia. Anyone else want to suggest something?

2. Game Parameters

I've learned from recent games, so I won't make the rules too complex and will structure them in such a way as to keep people as active as possible. I also plan to use my own computer simulation to make sure the game is balanced.

That said, are there any features you'd particularly like to see in this game?

Edit: You can sign up for the game here. Those of you who already have, consider yourselves in.

Well glad to see there's another Mafia game starting up. I really don't have anything to add hope it starts soon.

Have you seen the film "Infernal Affairs", recently remade as "The Departed"? The premise is there are 2 gangs, one gang is the cops, the other is the triads. The triads have a mole in the cops, while the cops have a mole in the triads. Each is given the task of smoking the other out while maintaining their own cover.

Basically a Tom and a Jerry type of role, just like in Sasaki's game ?

Or would the moles still be able to participate in the game and feed information to their party after their counterpart is found - and killed.

That said, sign me up for the game Kommodus

Are you taking signups Kommodus? I'm in if you are.

That was a good movie. I don't know how it would work in a mafia game though. You'd be placing a lot of trust in the moles not to leak anything privately.

GH's rules are good. I'd say add a doctor but the town may be overpowered already.

Yeah GH's rules are good. No offense to Sasaki or Silver but I didn't really like the fact that they have so many different characters. Maybe it's just because I didn't play in the game.

Oh and Sign me up.

I actually quite liked all of the different roles in Sasaki's game. I thought they added spice, and gave the regular townies a bit more to do.

Must have been murder to organise, though.
