General Discussion.

NO!

Thanks Silver, but I have enough players now.

I changed my mind! Let me in!

I just want to press my soft lips against your smooth head.


Telling you that you smell like poop via the interwebs, is a close second to that.

You guys do realize I've previously reached all those Mafia milestones you were talkin about in the old thread, right?

Being lynched in a game you're not playing in -- been there, done that. It wasn't even a Day 1 kind of thing. It was like Day 4. :cheeky:

I can't remember which game it was, but my mafia don got every single vote possible on him. He even voted for himself.
That was favorite Clix mafia, and I was Galactus. I had a pretty good giggle over that one myself.

[Ouchmaker]

Opened my one and only Superman booster yesterday, got the Bat-Man. Which should be a decent trade fodder for one of the guys in my group, if he gets Black Adam or Zod, or Darkseid, or Swamp Thing.

Also, it's going to be a rather Star Wars -filled weekend, some Old Republic testing in 7 hours, and tomorrow they're showing Star Wars Uncut on a big screen here in town, and will probably go and see it.

Yes, but if you change something in the past and then try and comeback to the present (which will be an alternate timeline) and doughnuts don't exist anymore, wait for it to rain.

My grandma was admitted to the hospital today with blood pressure, well, higher than it should be in any human being. If they're able to get it under control with medicine and there's nothing else wrong, she should be able to go home tomorrow. But if there's an underlying heart condition, it's not going to be so easy. I'm really hoping it's the former rather than the latter, but I believe in the philosophy of "hope for the best; prepare for the worst."

I sure know that feeling. Both of my parents have been in and out of the hospital numerous times, with us being told to say goodbye to them this year. Luckily, they've made it through each time. My prayers are with her man.

Ok so I've decided to start designing a beginners game to get new players into the group. I don't want to go with the typical Batman theme so I was thinking X-Men. Likely Gold Team vs Blue Team. The roles should be pretty straight forward and I'd like at least half the game to be filled by newer players. It shouldn't be anything super competetive, especially for the veterans. more of a elarning tool for the new players. Thoughts? Suggestions?

well, Chi DID just spend a couple of weeks working on a basic game generator. ;)

It's actually a good tool to generate simple games. I would say that would be perfect for beginners.

Tempting. I usually start with characters and add roles that fit though.

[K-ness]

Tempting. I usually start with characters and add roles that fit though.

I'm the same way. But in this case, you could always generate the roles and then select the X-men that fit.

[charlesx]

Thoughts? Suggestions?

X-Men is an excellent theme that should appeal to a good majority of potential players. However, you might consider going with the X-Men movies, so that the pop culture appeal may be wider. Not everyone reads comics, but most people (I would think) have seen the movies.

Just a thought. Just a suggestion.

I would say you're still considered a newbie. As for the losing streak, I'm not sure if anyone is keeping track. My first win was in Sailor Moon Mafia. I don't remember how many games I played before that.

[PaxZRake]

Heh, I just reread my BSG Mafia and loved it.

[vlad3theimpaler]

Oh, phoenixfire did try to kill him on night 1 in the SNES mash-up game, but his action failed. (although I think that was because he knew I was the likeliest candidate for dracula, not because he was afraid of me having awesome mafia skills) :laugh:

Heh, I just reread my BSG Mafia and loved it.

Yup. That game and the Immortal Iron Fist one stand out in my mind as two of your finest mafia modding moments. Too bad I did not last long in BSG. :laugh:

Magnito was in the middle of a long losing streak back when I started playing. I'm not sure how long it was, but I think it was at least half a year.

[K-ness]

I cannot complain about a long losing streak after 100 Bullets 5 and 6a, 6b, and 6c. :laugh:


And by the way, some of my mafia games just make me smile.

Revolutionary Girl Utena probably had the most epic ending. Final Fantasy VI had the coolest outcome. Donkey Kong Country probably had the most balance. SNES Mash-Up probably had the coolest roles. Mystic Quest had the least expected outcome.

Good times. And my current game is making me smile so much.

That sleep was much needed and felt great!

[sstralkowski]

Just a heads-up guys. The last few weeks have been a bit more relaxed at work. Well that's all about to end. I'll likely have to go back to being scarce around here some time in the next 2 weeks. I'll do the best I can to at least keep my games running and post as much as I can in the ones I'm playing. I can't guarantee anything. Expectations of me at work are unrealistic at best. Wish me luck.

The NBC mafia I'd wanted to run was Community based.

I'd definitely want to play in one.

Go sign up for it, if you're man enough to get in the ring with the big boys.

Neither baby would take to mother's milk for us. It happens. Krista had some wicked post partum first time around. Seriously messed up stuff. I wonder if the two were connected somehow. Regardless, I hope it gets, better for you guys. It is a rollercoaster ride for sure, btu Ic an't imagine never getting on the ride in the first place.

[Silver Lantern]

He's 12 days old now... Fun times, but last night... Not so much :)

Baby could be fussy because he's hungry and not getting enough milk. Just make sure you guys discuss it, cause once you go on formula, there's really no going back if breastmilk quantity is the issue. The baby will usually prefer that free flowing bottle of formula every time.

Thanks to pay day last week, I was able to clear out my saver box at the LCBS. I was pleasantly surprised that the shop owner was able to get extra issues of the DCnU new 52 that I had left off my list. This included Batgirl and Animal Man.

I have not yet gotten around to reading the whole stack, but I had to check out right away the following titles: The Walking Dead #89, Action Comics #2, and Animal Man #1 and 2. I liked them all well indeed, but the real nice surprise was Animal Man. The writing and the artwork are a complete package. Two big thumbs up! :cool:

My role was soooooooo broken. But really... night one? If Velius was playing, I would have been screwed.

By the way, anyone know what happened to him? :ermm:

No idea. He dropped off the face of the earth.

That was why I didn't think it was broken. With a cop, a tracker, a roleblocker, a doctor/bodyguard, a doubler/guide, and a vig, I was feeling perhaps the town was TOO loaded for you to deal with.

It was sheer luck that Velius targeted the villain night one, granted.

But I still think that the two parts combined were broken.

[zyxba]

Effective yes. Broken, probably in a different game, or definitely one with more mafia.

Here it just created the sense of paranoia I wanted. Which was pretty awesome btw.

Geez, where the heck is everyone? So quiet around here....

I don't seem to be in any games at the moment. Wondering when things will ramp up again. Although getting time off from mafia is not necessarily a bad thing, come to think of it.

What's everyone else up to these days, anyway? Anything worthy of note??

I'm trying hard not to flip out and start killing people.

I also am considering opening a beach bar on the Bahamas in a fairly elaborate ploy to get a girl drunk.

Here is a question for those who know more than I do about such things:

Is there any way to salvage a scratched Blu-ray disc? Do they sell anything on the market that can help with light scratches? (My kids got a hold of my 1966 Batman movie BR disc and now it's skipping all over the darned place.)

[PhoenixFire]

Eh, wouldn't know...still in the DVD era

I'll be leaving in a bit for a 800pt Golden Age at the venue I play at. I'm running about 6 Jackals (beam) with some marines and elites. Not too mention a Master Chief (Fist) and Nick Fury of course...Halo is a sweet set...kinda wish I had bought a case as originally planned.

In good job-related news, my roommate got a job, working similar hours to me, so carpooling is a plus.

Have an interview Friday for a manager position here, so hopefully that goes well also.

Take it to a pawn shop. They have the commerical machines used to resurface the discs usually (at least they do here in Michigan) it's pretty cheap to have done, and it can resurface games, dvds, cds, blu-rays.

Just came up with a great idea for a mafia game after wrestling.

The Walking Dead.

Good enough premise I hope?

[Jackofhearts2005]

We had a Walking Dead mafia game once. It was pretty good, though it was a total stomp in the favor of the mafia.

Much as I like the Walking Dead, I think Dead Rising would make a better mafia game if only due to more colorful ridiculous villains and a more enclosed setting.

What JoH said. I think another one would be fine though. Different mods have different takes on characters and mechanics. The same theme run by two different people can be amazingly unique.

I have to say that I'm actually ashamed that I never thought of a Dead Rising Mafia. I'd play that any day.

The very best of Roman luck to you, Mal.

Though I hope that one of these days you realize that a promotion in the Great Satan Company only means being put in charge of a different circle of Hell. Read your "Divine Comedy" if you don't believe me.

And thanks everyone for the pointers on the Blu-ray scratch.

BTW, just this morning I saw that the McRib has invavded my neck of the woods as well. Until recently (relatively speaking) I was not aware that there are people who are such avid McRib foodies that they track where in the nation it will be sold next. Talk about your devotion to fast food!

Oh, I'm very well aware of it. But remember, I'm almost always the mafia DON in these games. So it isn't that much of a stretch...

"So, what prior experience do you have as a manager?"
"Well, I have successfully pretended to be nice while ruthlessly eliminating competition among my friends..."
"Good to hear! When can you start?"

I am having this crazy idea for a game where everyone starts off dead.

There are three resurrectors at the start of the game: 1 Town, 1 Mafia, and 1 Neutral.

On N1, the people who are resurrected get to use their abilities the same night, thus getting the game underway. Rezzes take place each night, until all players have been rezzed. You can't use your role's power unless you have been resurrected. The rezzer doesn't get any information about who or what he/she has brought back into the game. However, once a player has been lynched/NK'ed, he/she is effectively eliminated from the game (and there will be no coming back once you are eliminated.)

What do you all think?

I could call it, "Mafia of the Dead".

Wasn't that sort of the concept behind VDB's first Apocalypse game?
Fun idea either way.

[sstralkowski]

I am all for bringing old players back. I got RCricket55 to come back for He-Man. We'll see how that works. I also have 2 friends who are learning the rules os they can player my X-Men themed "new player" game. I'll be starting that one in late Nov, so if anyone has a friend in mind who's fairly new or never played at all, it will be very basic. I'd like to have half the game filled with new players. That would be 9 players.

[sstralkowski]
