"Let's Play Civilization V" Mafia
Host: CivCube
Type of Game: Large
Number of Players: 30
First time host: For large, yes.
Progress: Pretty much there in concept. I will still need to get hooked up with the right recording software and equipment to get the bugs sorted out. I may also need to test this out with a smaller group first.
Blessings to you, oh saintly Townsfolk! You are the rulers of your own Civilization! After years of endless battle against the evil Mafia, you are ready to settle down and begin your first settlement.
But let caution fall on wise ears, Town! There are still more Mafia that hide within your ranks! Will you answer the call and lead your people to greatness? Will you yet cleanse the cities of double-agents as you ascend to glory? Will you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?
This game would be as much a recruitment tool for the Mafia forum itself as well as a potentially fun large game. If this game is played, I would post YouTubes of the game in progress over in the Civ V LP forum, allowing commentary about the game in that thread. I will also link to the Mafia side of the discussion in this forum, where lynch votes will be held once every 20 turns or so.
The Town victory is the civ's victory: stay alive on Deity difficulty and win. The Mafia's goal will be to make suggestions that sabotage the game, leading the civ to lose or win a certain victory. Meanwhile, townies will still die every night.
