BDMO Forum Mafia
Posted: Wed Mar 22, 2017 11:06 pm
Since Mafia was a big hit at this camp, we could perhaps continue that tradition in a more open manner through forum Mafia.
For those who are new to the game, here's a short guide I wrote ages ago:
Or you can read this guide from mafiascum wiki: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?ti ... e_to_Mafia
Now, forum mafia is a bit different from live mafia. Usually day phases last 48 hours while night phases last 24, so there's a lot of time for discussion. The day phase discussion occurs in a thread. Mafia nightkills and other actions are done through PMing the host, which makes it possible to add a lot of interesting roles (and trust me, there are a LOT). It's really fun, and can be more casual as you have a lot of time to do what you want.
If we do want to start mafia on the forums, what we'll need is active participants. If people leave halfway through the game becomes really unfun and sometimes frustrating. You don't need to be super active to play, just check in once a day and add something to the discussion. We can start with a small number of players and a basic setup (Matrix6 would be a good one as it is one of the most balanced intro setups), and maybe add in more fun roles once everyone's used to forum mafia. I'm willing to mod the first few games to get everyone used to the format.
So please tell me, would you be interested in BDMO forum mafia? Would you be an active participant? Also, tell your friends or anyone interested in playing Mafia, so that we can all join in the fun!
