I haven't played since Yule, so start a game, I need a fix!

Is there another game coming up? There's only one and gotten vote killed in that one.

 

[Autolycus]

If there are no other candidates, I've got a couple ideas. I'll pick one and post a sign-up by Wednesday if no one else steps forward.

 

[Takhisis]

Effin' hell, I'll start signups for a game soon, this is the official announcement. Over and out.

 

[Backwards Logic]

Got a title Takhisis? I'll put it on the front page.

 

[Takhisis]

Not yet, I have to choose between two setups.

 

[Jarrema]

maybe let us choose for you?

 

[Takhisis]

Why not? The first five posters to post their non-edited votes will decide for me.

I have two half-finished setups.

One is about a groups of Norsemen stranded in Vinland among the Skrælings, with trollcraft going on.
The other is about a group of international communist delegations who are trapped in a building… I might want to host this one later because games with locations are harder to set up and balancing the locations is complicated.

In both games the emphasis is away from Mafia and with far, far less killing. If you play it like mafia (let's kill people every phase) you just screw with the setup. You might win, but it's not what the glorious GM wants.

So, in which order should I host them?

How is the lack of killing accounted for? Your past games have a tendency to go on for a really long time because no one is dying.

I'm leaning towards the communist setup, but there's not really much info about either, so hard to tell.

Both setups sound interesting. I'll cast my vote for the Communists, because the first game I played had a location (DOOM project) and that was awesome, and I've been hooked ever since.

 

[Arakhor]

I want to do one at some point, featuring guests at a high-society masked ball (the very highest), but traitors have infiltrated the guest list and people are dropping dead. I only have a few ideas so far, but that doesn't sound too terrible, I hope.

There are alternative paths to victory, and players can still be jailed. My two mafia games I itnended to be shorter, but somehow everyone except the roleblockers was killed off quickly and we got the ridiculous near-stalemate near the end.

Do I count that as a vote?

 

[Backwards Logic]

Front page updated to reflect both Takhisis's and Arakhor's planned games. Zack forgive me if this has been answered: is NOTW: Demons still in the works? I plan on doing some queue cleaning shortly.

 

[Zack]

No, you can take it off.

 

[Buddhafish]

I prefer the communist one.

 

[Arakhor]

*cough* And now I realise I posted my idea in the NotW thread, rather than the Mafia thread. I've never played a single FfH game, so setting a potential game in that universe would be rather foolhardy!

 

[Backwards Logic]

NOTW games don't have to be FFH - they just started out that way. You can put it almost wherever to be honest, though NOTW's tend to slightly differ from traditional mafia games in the sense there's more roleplay involved and the games tend to have items in play.

 

[Takhisis]

Screw FfH, civ3 is best civ!

2-1 in favour of the Communists.
