Mafia General Discussion

[Chris]

It does give away there's a roleblocker but I think that can be a fun part of the game so I prefer specific communication if you're blocked like "inconclusive." Better than just saying they went nowhere when that's a lie bc even if we're talking kayfabe you wouldn't technically know that if it you're blocked either bc you weren't able to watch them

I'm mostly asking so we could potentially codify some rules for the site.

General question for the gallery.

In the event of a power usage failure, what should the default text be?

Example: Player A visits Player B, but Player C blocks Player A from using his powers?

Would in that case A receive a notice that their results were "Inconclusive", or would instead, their results read that their target went nowhere?

The first one, always.

If anyone can also remember power resolution order that'd be much appreciated.

Usually inconclusive because it could be anything not just a role blocker. A jailer, role blocker, commuter, etc.

A Comprehensive List of Mafia Roles

This thread will be used for posterity and for archiving of Mafia roles, past and future, primarily in alphabetical order. This list may start small but will be expanded upon infrequently. Color Meaning BLUE A role primarily used by town alignment. RED A role primarily used by mafia...

I have here the finalized list of standard roles for MAFIA, including primary alignments, classification of alignment type, and action resolution.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Reflexive Roleblock / Nexus
Hide/Commute/Untargetable
Roleblock *
Bus Drive / Redirect *
Framer/Lawyer
Miscellaneous
Kill / Poison / Arson
Watch / Track / Follow / Voyeur / Motion Detect

* If these roles interact in such a way as to create a paradox, such as a bus driver driving themselves into a roleblock, the bus drive will jump in priority and resolve first.

Pretty uniform action order that I've played under for 4+ years.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Commute - Commuter
Hider - Hider
Absorption - Absorber
Deflection - Deflector
Bus Drive - Bus Driver
Blocking - Roleblocker
Jailkeep - Jailkeeper
Protection - Doctor, Nurse, Faith Healer, Rolestopper, Babysitter, Firefighter, Bodyguard
Miscellaneous - Inventor, Reviver, Framer, Jammer, Cult, Coroner
Kill - Mafia Kill, SK Kill, Vigilante, Paranoid Gun Owner, Strongman, Bomber
Role Investigation - Cop, Sheriff, FBI Agent, Neapolitan
Action Investigation - Tracker, Watcher, Voyeur, Follower

Here's how I currently have it in the main mafia roles thread. Will be adjusted to account for new roles tho.

Well... just wanted to say the ongoing game has been a very entertaining read so far.

Should post this year. What is the etiquette we are using on WS. In terms of updating Vote Count. E.g. if the host is clearly offline. Certain places I play. A dead player or spectator can often post an "unofficial vote count"

Usually we just let hosts allow whoever they want to do VCs in their places but I'm happy with whatever. We leave all the other rules up to the hosts basically anyway so might as well just let them decide if anyone or certain groups can do them

With how bad my sleep schedule is, I probably let someone do the VC if I wasn't around lol
