Mafia Games....

I hate it....If I'm about to be lynched (as either town or scum), what's to keep me from just UDing to give my team an extra perk?

Lynch occurs before the UD so there would be no extra perk for the team.

lol, i think its a fine looking game. Maybe give your team an extra vote? You know, double it that night, but only for a player from the team of the UDer.

That might work.

Any other ideas on how to make UDs have less of an impact on the game?

Not if I'm about to be lynched and decide to unvote....

If you remember back to a recent 50/50, you and JB were trying to strategically UD for the win. I can definitely see that happening here.
 
I see what you're saying about lynch before UD, now....either way though, I think, unfortunately, that UDs need to hurt the team (vs helping them in any way) in order for them to not be used strategically.

What about the first time someone doesn't vote a random player from the other team gets their vote doubled, then the next time the person misses the vote they UD? Did you guys like that?

I just hate how UDs can alter the game so drastically. Doesn't seem fair to those actually playing.
 
yea, maybe you can just ban UDers from the next 2 games? That'll get them to not UD.

Lol, have a "if you've UDed without a good reason the previous two games don't bother signing up clause"? :thumbsup:

Another thought is that for each UD, a townie without a PR could get resurrected for the role that UDed. That way the UD does not effect either teams numbers. It would be a problem with the ghost chat though since they would have extra information, so it would have to be either the ghost chat or resurrection if a UD happens. Any thoughts on that idea?

By ressurected you mean they get the PR right? And that would tip the scales in the towns favor, cause all we need to do is lose one guy to get a PR. Unless im getting that wrong?

They would get whatever role the person who UDed had. So if the person who UDed had a PR, the resurrection would get that role. If the UDer was simply an innocent that's what the resurrection would be. Most of the time the UDs are from innocents.

For example, say ILM UDs. If he was a townie whoever was randomly resurrected would be a townie. If he was a vampire the resurrection would become a vampire. If he was the Seer, whoever was resurrected would become the Seer.

I'm thinking that means there is no advantage for either team to cause someone to UD, but it won't affect that teams numbers adversely.
 
hey guys I haven't been on much lately been busy with school and junk but anyways I just wanted to post the game format that I'll be modding to get some feedback and find out if anyone sees any problems with it as I have it set up now:

*Events that are marked may not occur every night

b. If multiple people have the same number of votes, I will use the random generator to decide which of those gets lynched.
Rules:
1. No talking outside of game thread unless your role permits you to.
2. You must type in BOLD I vote to lynch **** in order for your vote to count.
3. The roles will be assigned randomly.
4. You may role claim any role OTHER THAN the Hillbilly.
5. If you role claim that you are the hillbilly you will UD immediately!!
6. If you do not vote before nightfall you will UD!
7. If you do not really feel like playing please do not sign up to play.
8. If you have any questions you may PM me.
9. If you have a communicating role you may only use the chat room that I provide.
10. Don’t take offense to anything anyone says but please try and be civil in the game.
11. No talking during nightfall in the game thread!
12. Dead people usually don’t talk other than to say good bye and good luck, no posting after you’re dead!
