Mafia Games....

Ooooh... now here is a good sci-fi/horror one.

Bodysnatchers!!!!!!

May want to start with a small number of bodysnatchers at first because the twist with this one gives them a huge advantage. But each bodysnatcher gets to snatch one body each night.

The twist with the body snatchers is that for every body they snatch- they get to decide how that snatched body votes. (via PM to narrator).

Since the snatched-bodies votes arn't announced until it's time to do the lynching (and multiple hits take place each night- one per body snatcher) it gives the body snatchers an advantage... Perhaps as few as two would be needed.

When a body snatcher is lynched he no longer gets to control the votes of those whom he has body-snatched.

Body Snatchers would win when they control over 50% of the votes.

That could work but I would make them have to control 75% or so of the town to win to make it more fair to the town. And instead of Hits they would just control the person's votes like a blackmailer. Kill the Bodysnatcher and you release all the Townies they've taken over back to their normal selves. I actually see that as being a very viable and fun game.

Problem is... once body snatchers have 50% of the votes- they'll be unstoppable because they COULD win every round. So you'd have to make it 50%.

Although- if killing a bodysnatcher released all the people they controled and allowed them to resume playing again as normal townsfolk that would restore the balance some and make the game winnable for townsfolk.

I think you'd have to put a cap on how many people each bodysnatcher could snatch. Like 1 or 2 per.

I was also thinking of doing a Night of the Triffids themed game. The Triffids (Mafia) would try and kill people while the people would go blind (have to vote in secret). There would be a few people that would still be able to see (Investigate/communicate). Could be interesting.

Funny I started laying out a Starship Troopers game a long time ago but never ran it.

I command that you run this soon!

how about a reverse game where the innocents are trying to overturn the mafia from their rule...

Wasn't that the basic premise of #51?

I'd like to run the Mafia War setup soon (tentatively put me down for #55 Rb)...also would like to try getting in Cabin Fever sometime this winter.

The last two games I've modded haven't been completed...:wall:

That is what I was trying to do in #51.

I am not sure if 53.5 was completed or not, I am thinking it was just about over anyway.

Had to be put on hold because of the move and then I thought I was going to be too busy to mod...
