Street Fighter Mafia

[sstralkowski]

Ok I have been slacking in the modding area for a while now. I need some inspriation to get going on my game with Pax so I'm opening this game to get me warmed up for that game. It'll be Street Fighter like you've likely seen before, but with my usual flavor. I'm looking to start this game on Nov 9th and I need 16 players. Who's up to help me out here?

[Silver Lantern]

Did someone say Donkey Punch?

[charlesx]

I will only sign up this game if you sign up Macaque for it.

It's been way too long since I played a game with Macaque.

:laugh:

Um, anyone want to explain Street Fighters to me?

[Quebbster]

Um, anyone want to explain Street Fighters to me?
Videogame where you beat the crap out of each other with various spectacular moves.
Probably the most well-known franchise in that field, in fact.

[PaxZRake]

Um, anyone want to explain Street Fighters to me?

Colorful martial artists fight each other.

Dan Hibiki is the hero of the story where he constantly battles the awesome power of the evil Demi-God of Martial Arts Akuma and corrupt warlord M. Bison.

[Jerry_Damage01]

It's also making it's way to a CLIX set near you. :)

Ummm... yeah, M Bison (who some know as Raul Julia) is in the story.
The other two? No idea...

[PaxZRake]

Ummm... yeah, M Bison (who some know as Raul Julia) is in the story.

Huh.

You do know the story centers around winning the King of Iron Fist tournament in search of the Soul Edge?

[Quebbster]

Do you need a story to beat the crap out of people?

that video makes my favorite figure look like a chump. :(

[Immortal_Raven]

I've just been inspired to get out my SNES and play a little. And since I've been killed early my last two games, I'll play this one.

-Immortal_Raven

[normalview]

If I was playing to win, Ryu and Guile where the go to characters. If I was playing to be annoying, I picked Dhalsim and just use Yoga Teleport constantly. Sure, my friends would hit me eventually... but they had to WORK for it :laugh:

I always thought Ryu and Ken were kind of boring. Guile is one of my favorites though, but he gets third place after Blanka and Chun Li.

[sstralkowski]

Six spots left, guys. This is awesome!

[veguto]

If I draw Zangief there will be mandatory 360 pile drivers.

[normalview]

I always thought Ryu and Ken were kind of boring.


They were in the first version of SFII, simply because they were identical (basically your choice boilded down to what color outfit do you prefer), but once they began to make them a little different in the various "updated" version of SFII, I began to really prefer Ryu.

[Immortal_Raven]

that video makes my favorite figure look like a chump. :(

Um, it made everyone but Ryu look like a chump. Him and Blanka were my favs. Ryu for being an awesome fighter, Blanka for biting people.

-Immortal_Raven

[Quebbster]

-Immortal_Raven

Yeah, but look at the way Blanka is defeated. He just walks into Ryu's punches. Over and over again.
It's not easy being green.

[sstralkowski]

Blanka and Chun Li were my favorites as well.

i didnt realize they got up to part 7, think i only ever watched parts 1 and 2

[Quebbster]

Blanka and Chun Li were my favorites as well.

Chun Li was a lot of fun with my autofire hand control - with good timing you could get in three head stomps in one leap. :)

[Truffle Shuffle]

I want to beat the crap out of people.

I guess I'll wiki to get the details. Story sounds interesting and it will be necessary to know what's going on. And make it more fun.

@Pax: Thoughts as to who the mafia/town would be? Knowing this before I read would probably be helpful.

As usual, I will give the players an idea what the mafia/town breakdown is. It will be an M. Bison driven mafia.

[ThorKnigh83]

I'm totally in. sign me up.

[Jerry_Damage01]

Sign-ups will be closed by lunch at this rate. :)

Everyone wants to play with m_a_caque.

I'm hopeful. It'd be a first for me to have a game filled up this quickly.

I lied in most of my posts :)

If you start with Wiki go straight to Street Fighter II, since the series pretty much starts it's continuing storyline from there.

Your basic Mafia characters are going to be anybody associated with Shadoloo, which is led by M. Bison. Townies would be pretty much everybody else. Use your own bias of course, it's pretty easy to tell whom is a villain and whom is a hero.

[PaxZRake]

Also, the greatest fighting technique is Instant Hell Murder.

Best name ever.

Agreed. I'm in a few other games right now so it'll give them a few more days to start to wind down.

Change Vote to Silver Lantern

Oh look at how quickly ASAP's mafia buddies come to his rescue!

[get_1]

Yeah, it's hard not to believe that this is just one big stall job. By the time you realize that ASAP is the way to go, it'll be too late for us to reach super-majority if needed.

[charlesx]

I don't care either way. The game is already completely written.

I don't think that your reverse psychology is working.

If you didn't care, the game wouldn't be written in the first place.

Nice try, though - next time use a Jedi mind trick.


:cheeky:

[Jerry_Damage01]

Change Vote Get_1 and DarqFeonix for trying to make us look scummy while voting for Next Week instead of ASAP.

Oh I care about the game, just not the start date, Mr. Stally Mc Stallstall.

[Quebbster]

Main reason I prefer next week: a bunch of other games just got started. Better to spread the love a little.

[charlesx]

Oh I care about the game, just not the start date, Mr. Stally Mc Stallstall.


Boy, that's just about the lousiest Jedi mind trick I've ever seen anyone use. :laugh:

You started typing but all I could read was "Wuh wuh-wuh. Wuh. Wuh-wuh-wuh. Wuh-wuh." (Sounds like Charlie Brown's parents on the Peanuts TV specials.)

We are allowed to steal votes, aren't we? :)

Technically, unless the vote switches before majority is reached, like what happened earlier. ;) Basically, their votes just make it require 2 less votes to achieve majority either way.

I was about to leave vote with Macaque, but in the interest of not looking too scummy, I will leave vote with Majority...

I will volunteer Betty, he has enough free time from not having to troll the interwebs for avatars like the rest of us... :p

Assuming I am counting correctly, either Pax, Mal, or ThorKnigh will be the deciding vote.

Then stan gets to flip a coin, I guess.

If both mal and TK now vote "majority", then "majority" will have more votes than either of the real options :p

A majority has been reached! ASAP is dead... err... I mean the selected start date!

[PaxZRake]

Technically majority has not been reached.

[normalview]

Technically majority has not been reached.

Sure it was. 6 > 4, so then the majority votes are now added to 6... which equals 10 total.


If that's not the Stan wants to run it, he can keep track of his own stupid votes :p ;)

[PaxZRake]

Stan explicitly stated that Majority is 9. Since Majority has not been achieved, those 4 votes don't go anywhere.

:)

[normalview]

Majority, for determination purposes, is indeed 9.

However, A) it is currently impossible to get a 9 votes without someone switching. Not a huge deal (someone could switch, like Jerry did), but still worth considering. B) I can't speak for the rest of the "majority" people, but I meant which ever side has more votes, period. Since 6 is more votes than 4, that is enough to get my vote at lesat (and your's since you tied it to me :p). What would be the point of voting "majority" if an actual, over-halfway majority had been reached? Might as well just abstain, in that case.

Either way, Stan can make the final call. If you don't like the way I'm keeping track of the votes, mayhap you should have volunteered :laugh:

I'm having fun with this :)

The thing is, before your time, a lot of players would Leave Vote with Majority. This frustrated the hell out of mods, since you were effectively not actually voting for anything, but you had the expectation that you were. It's somewhat of an unwritten rule that you do not Leave Vote with Majority these days.

What you're arguing for, and I understand the basis, is A) a different thing than what you voted for, and B) against the general proceedings of this subforum :)

Thus endeth the history lesson!

[normalview]

A) No, it isn't. I voted for what I wanted to vote for. It isn't my fault if you mistakenly assigned some other meaning to my vote.

B) Then make it an official rule somewhere. I refuse to acknowledge hidden "general proceedings"; I will gladly follow any rule that is posted clearly, even if I wouldn't necessarily agree with it in principle.

You intended to vote "with the side that had the most votes" correct?

That is different from majority, majority in this case being clearly defined as 9 votes for the same individual.

You left your vote with majority, which would be whichever side has 9 votes.

You could have chosen to Vote: whichever side has the most votes at any given time.

Remove Vote

Vote: My own awesome logic!

I'll PM Stan and let him know you can have my spot. Enjoy :)

Apparently waiting for a video game based mafia. *glares at JKL*

Two more things:

1) I will also need a vote count helper for when the game really starts.

2) Leaving your vote with majority is ok here because it's informal stuff. Doing so in a normal game will end with your vote disregarded. Nothing Earth shattering, but it does lead to some confusion.

If you even try to take what I said as serious in any way shape or form I will unbuddy you automatically.

I don't even know how to do that.

But I would. Not. Because really that's a horrible waste of my time and a silly thing to do.

[sstralkowski]

Actually, normal has agreed to be a sort of comod in a sense. He'll be counting votes and watching what goes on behind the scenes. I'll still be doing most of the work though since I'm using this game as a warm up.

I really appreciate the offer though, man.

[sstralkowski]

Roles have all been sent, but it will take me some time to open still. I need to come up with a good opening.

[sstralkowski]

I like to play Mafia games specially street fighting mafia is my favorite game which i play online daily.
