I imagine this could actually be a really cool idea.
On another note, could you give an example of what a role might look like? Like one master and one servant example.
You lose nothing from not being there anyway.
For future reference, if anyone needs a review or a co-host, I'm available until February.
I have quite a bit of free time and don't mind to help anyone :p
Not willing to host my own game until then.
I waited for so long

I see you want to get your hands dirty with blood play mafia 
I really do, it looks pretty awesome. I've been reading the Orange Juice thread, if all games are like that this'll be interesting. Also what's up with this IRC mafia thing? It sounds fun too
IRC-Mafia works similar to this mafia, but it's real-time. You go on an IRC-Chat (which is specially prepared for mafia, which commands and such) and play with others. Difference is that rounds are much shorter and that it's automatized.
It's a bit difficult to get people together (timezones etc.).. most I know (and play this game) are from oversea which makes it a bit difficult. I think CalignoBot asked me some time ago, maybe we can ask him for further details.
well, thing is the one that runs the IRC server is dkun and i haven't heard from him.
Could try mafiascum's irc tho.
Forum is the best one to play across all time zones.

I can try reaching him in Steam, I'll tell you if I hear further.
But wow tho it's been a while since we've had this much interest in mafia, definitively was a good time to revive the forum.
I'm too excited to play ;; getting impatient for the OJ game to finish
It'll take a while to finish, however i may need a replacement soon.
I'm pretty sure the spot we used for IRC Mafia last still exists, I just literally forgot the link to it.
If I could find my way back to it and we could get daisuki back up, we could start using it again since I had admin powers there.

I haven't played a game so far where PMs are allowed, it sounds refreshing could someone do one of those perhaps?
I shouldn't really be saying this, but please do remember to not post when a game is in Night Phase (After the game mod posts the lynch scene).
The 3 posts in that one game I'm not allowed to talk about were posted by accident and simultaneously with the lynch scene (sent about 1-2 minutes after it).
Everyone knows that it's not allowed to write during the Night.

So I've been thinking about this for a while.. How would a Holy Grail War Mafia work?
14 players - 11 town, 3 mafia?
There are 7 "Masters" and 7 "Servants". The 7 masters have three command spells which they can use to command their servants. Though after a master used all three, they wouldn't be able to control their servants anymore. This would make them a vanilla I guess? Another way to become vanilla is if one's servant is killed. And then I guess there's a qt link for each pairs.
Hmm.. maybe masters won't be VTs and they can still kill each other but they can't kill other servants because servants > masters
and then fucking Berserker is the most OP role because Noble Phantasm
What do you guys think?

The "Of Gods and Men" setup I had in the queue a while back had a somewhat similar concept.
I personally think that vanilla masters getting a kill might be too much. If there's already 21 'powers' in the game, there really doesn't need to be more.
EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, you'd have to be very careful to design it in a way that wouldn't be easily broken with a massclaim. Just by claiming what powers each pair has, it would be pretty difficult to not break the game for town.

Well, the servants have their own powers too so I guess there's 28 powers in total...
Command spells can be used to change or block their servants' actions.
Powers won't affect alignment. A master can be scum while the servant is town or vice versa.

The problem with having a lot of power is that you have to keep town from confirming too many people's alignments one way or the other. Massclaiming and directing night actions is very dangerous for scum if not properly planned against.
A game that prevents massclaim?
Actually, power role heavy games should be designed predominantly around a mass claim happening day one.
Maybe you could use Command Spells to gain an additional vote as well. I didn't like the idea of scum/mafia servant/master pairs, but it reminds me of Gil/Tokiomi so it would probably work. Maybe you could tone Berserker down by removing his ability to vote? But giving a really crazy role to make up for that. I think massclaiming on day one would be silly - think of the fate series where the Servants try to hide their Noble Phantasm for as long as they can to be able to launch surprise attacks and prevent counterstrategies.Navizel wrote:

I'm thinking of preventing mass claims. In Fate series, revealing a servan't true name can put them in a disadvantage.
Instead of a scum-town pair, maybe I could just use the three to be scums and the rest are town.
I don't have any idea about the roles of a master and a servant yet. Only the three command spells one.
Maybe something like one of Shirou's command spell can suppress Saber's Noble Phantasm which is 1-shot vig or smth

Why not put four scums, two pairs?
Also, an idea for roles of master and servant could be:
Here's an example with Berserker:
...Not gonna lie, I tried my best to balance this (with constant death looming and also having to exchange usage of the NP for your only chance to vote) but it still looks kinda OP lol. Anyway, those are some examples of how it could work. Balancing this would be pretty hard, I can already tell. Or I just suck at this.
Also, these were made assuming same-team pairs. Different team pairs would make some of this rather disastrous lol. What do you think?
Also, an idea for roles of master and servant could be:
You are Kotomine Kirei, Master from the Church, and an Executor. Your Servant is Assassin Hassan.
Command Spells - You have three Command Spells. Use them wisely.
Church Protection - Once per game, you can not be nightkilled.
You are Assassin Hassan. Your Noble Phantasm is Division. Your Master is Kotomine Kirei.
Spy - Once per night, you may target a player. If that player performs a Night action, you will know which night action it was. If you get nightkilled, your Master will be informed of that action instead.
Division - If you are killed by any means other than lynching, you do not die; but your class, name, and Noble Phantasm will be made public. Does not work against Anti-Army or Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasms.
Command Spells - You have three Command Spells. Use them wisely.
Church Protection - Once per game, you can not be nightkilled.
You are Assassin Hassan. Your Noble Phantasm is Division. Your Master is Kotomine Kirei.

Division - If you are killed by any means other than lynching, you do not die; but your class, name, and Noble Phantasm will be made public. Does not work against Anti-Army or Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasms.
You are Kotomine Kirei, Master from the Church, and an Executor. Your Servant is Assassin Hassan.
Command Spells - You have three Command Spells. Use them wisely.
Church Inheritance - You have one additional Command Spell.
You are Assassin Hassan. Your Noble Phantasm is Division. Your Master is Kotomine Kirei.
Infiltrate - Once per game, you may pick a player. If they are a Master, they'll be knocked out for the Day. If they are a Servant, learn all information about their role.
Division - If you are killed by any means other than lynching, you do not die; but your class, name, and Noble Phantasm will be made public. Does not work against Anti-Army or Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasms.
^Alignment-specific abilities with non-alignment specific roles/NPs would prevent any significant massclaims. I could say I'm Assassin but they'd still not know whether I'm town or scum, even if they knew I'm Assassin Hassan. In the case of Division, even if my identity is compromised, my alignment remains a secret.Command Spells - You have three Command Spells. Use them wisely.
Church Inheritance - You have one additional Command Spell.
You are Assassin Hassan. Your Noble Phantasm is Division. Your Master is Kotomine Kirei.
Infiltrate - Once per game, you may pick a player. If they are a Master, they'll be knocked out for the Day. If they are a Servant, learn all information about their role.
Division - If you are killed by any means other than lynching, you do not die; but your class, name, and Noble Phantasm will be made public. Does not work against Anti-Army or Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasms.
Here's an example with Berserker:
You are Matou Kariya, representing the Matou family, for Sakura's sake. You are a Master. Your Servant is Berserker Lancelot.
Command Spells - You have three Command Spells. Use them wisely.
Blade Wing Worms - Once per game, you can target a player. If they are a Master, they die. If they are a Servant, you die.
You are Berserker Lancelot. Your Noble Phantasm is Arondight. Your Master is Matou Kariya.
Mad Enhancement - You went Berserk when summoned. You can not vote.
Knight of Honor - Once per Day (either during the day or night), you can target a player. If they are a Master, nothing happens. If they are a Servant, gain the ability from their Noble Phantasm, until the start of the next Day. You can only use this ability once on each player.
For Someone's Glory - Your identity, abilities, and Noble Phantasm, can not be discerned by any kind of ability, until you die.
Arondight - Cancels For Someone's Glory and Knight of Honor for the rest of the game. Target two players. The first has their Noble Phantasm revealed, and is KO'd for the rest of the day. The second dies, along with your Master.
In this case, the only differences for the scum versions could be the following:Command Spells - You have three Command Spells. Use them wisely.
Blade Wing Worms - Once per game, you can target a player. If they are a Master, they die. If they are a Servant, you die.
You are Berserker Lancelot. Your Noble Phantasm is Arondight. Your Master is Matou Kariya.
Mad Enhancement - You went Berserk when summoned. You can not vote.
Knight of Honor - Once per Day (either during the day or night), you can target a player. If they are a Master, nothing happens. If they are a Servant, gain the ability from their Noble Phantasm, until the start of the next Day. You can only use this ability once on each player.
For Someone's Glory - Your identity, abilities, and Noble Phantasm, can not be discerned by any kind of ability, until you die.
Arondight - Cancels For Someone's Glory and Knight of Honor for the rest of the game. Target two players. The first has their Noble Phantasm revealed, and is KO'd for the rest of the day. The second dies, along with your Master.
- Kariya's ability is replaced with Crest Worms - You are weak. If your Servant uses an ability two days in a row, you die.
- Knight of Honor is replaced with Knight of Honor II - When an enemy Servant uses their Noble Phantasm on you, as long as it is an object, cancel their attack. Their Noble Phantasm is now yours, until you release it; it will then return to them. Does not work if you are already holding a Noble Phantasm.
- Noble Phantasm adjusted; Arondight - Cancels For Someone's Glory and Knight of Honor II for the rest of the game. Target two players. The first is KO'd, along with your Master. Their names and Noble Phantasms are revealed.
Also, these were made assuming same-team pairs. Different team pairs would make some of this rather disastrous lol. What do you think?
I don't think different alignment pairs would be a problem, that's where command seals could shine? well it comes down to whether you want mason pairs vs a scumteam or 2p neightbourhoods.
4 scum would be too much for a 14p game probably.
4 scum would be too much for a 14p game probably.
That looks good Tess. I think I would run Fate/Stay Night instead of Fate/Zero. Considering all the powers in the game, yes, it would be hard to balance. Each pair has a neighborhood btw.
I think it's going to be a flavor only reveal

If you need help balancing you can also contact me. Also stay night would probably be better, the servants there are more balanced imo (f/z berserker is fucking absurd).
@Drezi: I meant this specific setup wouldn't work for different-alignment pairs. Some pairs should always be the same alignment though, for example the Berserker pair. No matter which HGW you'd base it on, Berserker should always lose voting ability, which makes him highly dependent on his Master to achieve anything. Whereas a pair like Saber or Archer could do fine with different alignments, since those are always capable of indepedent action.

It's like osu! followed last.fm's design change which made the site worse.
I think the new site design is straight up worse in general.
Someone needs to start a petition to make sure that the new forum design never see the light of day again.
Maybe we should all migrate to MS
It' true we would be okay in MS, but I like the people and the games we have here. In MS it wouldn't just be the same.
Also it's quite obvious we aren't going to stop the forum changes... And that mafia will be almost unplayable in such forum.

So I recently receive a mail for our community to join this community mafia championship, which featured over 135 sites. The thing is that we have to pick ONE representative and that person plays for us. The rest of us can spectate, but we can't help that person. Do you think we should give it a try? I think it'll be pretty cool to spectate a game played by tons of community around the internet. Below is the message I received.

Hi Raging Bull
I am addressing this invitation to you as I saw you posting in one of the mafia threads. If I've made a mistake in sending this to you, I apologize, and I hope you could maybe help point me in the right direction.
I'm hosting a very big mafia championship tournament, featuring 135 different sites, and would like to extend an invitation to your community, so I'm hoping this is the best way to go about this.
It's a super fun event that's been running for several years and it's built a lot of awesome relationships between communities and has even led to several romantic real life relationships if you'd believe it. I'd be stoked to see you guys represented, so if this invitation intrigues you, feel very free to share it with your fellow community members. Or if there is some place where I should post it, let me know.
If you have any questions, just reply back to this account. I'll make sure to check in regularly.

The setup changes each season, mind you. So last season it was 17 players and various power roles, for example, while this year it's 15 players and no power roles at all.

Just curious for the representative, no one is allowed to help him right? I'm just confirming because it's a community mafia, but also seems unfair if represented by one player, with the other part of the community unable to help.

You've had games in the past year, so you're considered active.
And as long as you have one person who's willing to do this and thinks they can handle the activity, then you're good to go
Update on The Mafia Championship
Exciting news: We are expanding to 150 participating communities, which is more than last season. In fact, we may even go for 165 communities depending on how some invitations go.
On that note, if you know of a community that might be interested in participating and isn't on the list in the linked post, let me know and I'll be happy to give them an invitation: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/7692-Season-4-The-Time-Is-Now%21?p=1070949&viewfull=1#post1070949
Since none of the representatives chosen at this point have indicated that they can only play if their game starts April 24, I have made the decision that the qualifying phase won't begin until May 1st in order to allow me more time to get everything properly organized and to get all representatives properly prepared. This will have no impact on the overall schedule for this season; the qualifying phase will still be wrapped up by early July, after which we dive into the wildcard games followed by the finale game.
Finally, to communities that haven't elected a representative yet: Remember that your deadline for electing a representative is April 23.
