The Hive Mafia

[Ash]

In light of recent events, I think what everyone really needs is a little bit of light-hearted murder, and in service to all you guys, I offer myself as a narrator to curate this event of debauchery.

General interest from the community will affect the amount of players and roles we have, but if you've never heard of the game I'm speaking of, then it's a good idea that you read up on the rules here.

While I won't be giving away any of the awesome internal dialogue I've prepared, I will let you know one thing about it: It is awesome. As your narrator and god, I deem it necessary that you play this game and we can all get back to having fun and games and not drama, unless of course it's fun drama during the course of the game.

Did I mention my prologue to this is awesome? You should sign up and play so that others get the chance to read it, otherwise it may never again see the light of day. Remember, it's awesome!

[RED BARON]

I often play mafia games on GOG

 

[Steel_Stallion]

we can play the map on battle.net

 

[Arcisal]

What roles will there be? Other than the obvious Mafia and Townie.

I used to play with Thieves & Spies.

And I will be joining this.

Depending upon the size of the game, I was thinking of including a doctor and a detective.

Revealing the roles kinda spoils the fun.. unless where talking different forms of mafia.

 

[ShadowFlare]

I'll participate

You simply know that the roles exist, not who is playing them.

 

[Sky Green]

Ugh... Seems fun!

 

[Arcisal]

Where will the game take place?

These forums.

 

[Codric]

cool it seems like an nice idea

 

[ronthewk]

I'd like to join, if possible.

 

[The Dark Wizard]

We could play the Starcraft 2 version if users wanted.

 

[ronthewk]

I'm sure that not everyone has Starcraft II. And besides, the forum version is much more fun and bonding, anyhow. Just be sure to include some special roles if we have enough people. ^^

Yea, but it does make it easier to guess - and what to look for. While also changing the rules while trying to for instance fake roleclaim. But hey, as this is new to many on Hive by my guess, its properly fine.

 

[ronthewk]

If no one knew what are the roles, this could easily become confusing. People just wouldn't know what to do. Imagine if there was a gunsmith, an armorer, a doctor, a detective, a lookout, a godfather, a consigliere, and several mafioso and townspeople. It just would get too confusing for anyone to keep track off without a good main post.

Point to why they use excel arks for guessing, but as I already said - we might not be talking about the same game of mafia. I for once am not relating to many of the roles you just mentioned, at least not in such a context. For instance: Town is not to know who is mafioso and the mafioso is not to know who have which roles - the same apply to all town. Hence why even bring it up? The story and the night kill actions is what this hinges on.

 

[ShadowFlare]

so when does this start?

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

I'm kind of surrounded by mafia in real life, so hell yeah I'm joining!

In the Mafia games we played in the SC2 Mafia forums(Dark.Revenant's Council of Mages, now renamed SC2Mafia, FYI), we used plenty of roles from the browser-game Mafia(MafiaScum), as well as the SC2 Mafia. My apologies. The grand idea is: The town is the uninformed majority, so they do not know any role, but the mafia is the informed minority, so they can talk at night and they can see eachother's names and roles. There are also neutrals, who's objective is to be the last man standing: People like the Serial Killer, Arsonist, Witch and Cult Leader. I can elaborate on any of those roles, though people who played the SC2 Mafia should know the general idea.

I was expecting a completely different thread when I opened this.

lol I thought he was going to make claims that the hive had some kind of underground mafia group that is somehow controlling the site. Cause we all know thats not true....

Yea, you missed my meaning But no problem, I'll try again... I been playing this forum game for years by use of GOG who was going directly by the original mafia scum game. My point was that revealing the roles which will be part of the game is not normal procedure where I played it nor do I see it as a good idea, since it spoils certain elements of the game. I did however agree that with new people coming in it might a decent idea to make it easier. (Btw: It sounds nice what you have been doing with SC2 mafia)

By all means, things could be a little easier with a detective/cop for certain games. For example, I had a game with 2 bus drivers, and 2 witches. People had no idea who was the mafia or serial killer cause of them.

 

[SA Dashie]

Let me join, I'm great at this.

 

[Hemske]

Oh man, I've played this when I was just a kid with my class. Brings back so much nostalgia.
I'm in. (I have to admit I have no idea what other roles than simply murderers (mafia) and common villagers are though)
I suppose the doctor can "negate" the murder at night, if he manages to guess who the person the mafia intended to kill during that night is? Or something like that?

---------------------------------------------------
Edit: Oh there was a "role" section on the wikipage as well. Nevermind.

[RED BARON]

Sooo whatever happened to this?

Feels like it died.. mafia games tend to do that.

 

[Statharas]

I'm in.

EDIT: Ah crud.
