I have a mafia game set up which I am calling "Chocolate!" because there are no vanilla characters. Everyone has a role, including some sort of special ability, and none of them are roles you've ever seen before. (At least, I don't think so.)
I've worked it out and I believe that it will be balanced with only 7 players. I think that the other open games are suffering from the general lack of players that we have here, so I'm hoping that a game which is balanced at 7 players will be able to get going.
Sign up here if you're interested.
So far we have:
ralphmerridew
MNOWAX
raekuul
milkshake
Undercover Monk
lexprod
Dragon Phoenix
Day 1, daytime.
MNOWAX lynched. He turned out to be a "tough guy" a townie who could survive one night kill.
Day 1, nighttime
raekuul was killed at night. He turned out to be a mafia type known as a "Corrupt Cop." His ability was to redirect whom the cop investigated.
Day 2. daytime

Unbalanced mafia wasn't balanced, and I seem to remember you playing that one.

It wasn't meant as a criticism. It's just that you normally need 9 players to have a balanced game, and we struggle to get 7. |

Well I'm /in
It's hard to balance mafia games. With 7 players it should be a little easier though because you can probably do exaustive tests (without needing a computer  ).
Besides balance is overrated  .
Should be fun! |

Thanks for the compliment, UM. By "balanced" I mean that I tried it on paper 4 times, randomizing each person's choices, and the mafia won twice. Of course, that doesn't take personalities into account, or people gleaning information from the content of posts.
Anyway, so far we have:
ralphmerridew
MNOWAX
raekuul

So is transformation. Don't be deceived by Balkazar's Lies! He aims to sacrifice the Magera just for summoning Babau and Vrocks!

I'm honored! But now I'm concerned. Let me qualify that all of the roles are ones that I made up, though some are variations of existing roles. I might not be the first one to have made these up, though.
I'll be sending out roles shortly. They will be determined randomly (in case anyone thought I was nutty enough to do anything else). |

As an aside, I chose NOT to give anyone this role. It would only work in a much bigger game.
| Unused role wrote: |
Messiah
You are a member of the town, and win if the town wins. You have a one-time ability to bring someone back from the dead, including yourself. That is, you can either resurrect yourself or someone else, not both.
You can bring yourself back from the dead ONLY if you were lynched, not if you were night-killed. However, you are immune to night-kills by vigilantes (you talk them out of it), so you only have to worry about non-town night-killers (mafia and serial killer). If you are lynched, you will be dead for a full day, and won't resurrect until the second morning after you were lynched. (And that day will thereafter be called "Easter"! Bunnies will be optional.)
If you do resurrect yourself from a lynching, you must thereafter refer to the first person whom you saw vote for you (assuming they were still voting for you when the hammer fell) as "Judas" and the last person as "Pontius Pilate" (or just "Pontius" or just "Pilate"). You may not use their real name again, though you don't have to correct others or fail to understand them if they do use the real name. (You are allowed to make it clear that you are talking about the same person -- if someone says "FoS: Fred," you can quote his message and then say, for instance, "Yes, I agree that Pontius Pilate is scum.")
For resurrecting someone else, the opposite is true, you can only bring someone else back from the dead if he was night-killed, and not if he were lynched. That you can do any time in any day -- it doesn't have to be someone who was killed the previous night. You do it by declaring in the forum that you are resurrecting so-and-so, and you must refer to that person as "Lazarus" from then on. You can say that you are renaming him "Lazarus" if you like, or just be coy about it. But once you say his original name one time in the declaration of whom you are resurrecting, you can never use it again. (I suggest that you build up to it, by announcing that you are going to perform a miracle, and that everyone should gather to watch, and then actually doing it some hours later, but that's up to you.)
You can not explain that it is a one-time ability, even if someone asks. If they ask you to resurrect someone else, you must not respond to the request at all, not even to say that you choose not to, or anything of the sort. (Deities don't answer to others.) Don't be clever about finding a way to give them this info without actually saying it -- if they guess and you do anything to confirm it, that will be considered a violation. If you violate this rule or the naming rule, you will instantly experience "Ascension." (i.e. you'll be recalled to heaven.)
Feel free to say stuff like, "Whosoever believeth in me will experience everlasting life in heaven." You also are encouraged to refer to other miracles you have done, such as walking on water or turning water to wine, as if they happened before the game started. |

Oh get over it. If anyone has a right to be bitter about Ferris Wheel, it's me. I died first, and woulda had the most chances to die out of all of you before I got the gun.

I read that game because I was asked to replace into it.  I still don't know if I'm going to replace in or not, though.
We haven't heard from MNOWAX yet! |
