that first mafia example is kind of dumb because it can be logically concluded, as doc you should always heal the cop, ensuring the additional check is better than getting a save.

As mafia you should kill someone who isnt the cop, you could hit doc and are much less likely to target the same person the doc targets.

How many weeks do we think DR has left? I'm going on a vacation the second weekend of October, so I'm actually kind of hoping there's some time left, so that Season 4 will start after I come back. (Although if it starts before, I will make it work.)

Found some of the mafias I used to host many many years ago. It was a smaller board with unconventional setups. There were about 200-400 posts for an entire game, when half a day in GAFia hits that amount.

Suburban Mafia
Board Game Mafia
Twilight Mafia (Zelda-themed, kind of weird)
Star Wars Mafia (I made a second, but it died due to inactivity and it sucked, like the prequels)

Everything on gaf is bigger and better

I used to lurk heaven games in the old aoe2 days. What a funny place to revisit

Those guys suffer from opposite problem as us. They couldn't keep people playing and we have too much activity.

Other people post some of your old games

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.

I agree. I might be mistaken but I think MafiaScum.net placed a premium on personal survival in a way most of our players don't.

Thoughts:
shorter game, so eh

I would say turboing isn't really in town's best interests, and looking back I think I would've put it a bit higher than 50% + 1 (thinking seven votes for 10 people would've been pretty good). Chatreux did have a distinct posting style, so I imagine for some, that tipped off some suspicions.

But this game is heavily skewed towards scum when it comes to bandwagons. It relies on being able to analyse behavior from players, and I think that can only really be done after a few days looking at how people post.

So for now, I'll call it

BEGINNER'S LUCK

LaunchpadMcQ was the one that made me screw up the majority vote
 
I seriously have never heard of WETWET before, although I am very familiar with DRY of course.

Something written from Maine coon himself for you all-

"wetwet and dry are programming terms.

dry: Don't repeat yourself
wetwet: write everything twice write everything twice"
Shame the game ended, it sounded like he had a plan, plus, I'm guessing he had the most experience with target games. Would've been fun to see what he did

In the archer game I made a rather memorable and ridiculed comment about someone being soaked or rather, about them not being soaked. I thought he was trying to identify me by wetwet.\

I didnt expect that terminology from burbeting, I undertstand DRY, hadn't heard wetwet before and I didn't know burbeting knew them either :p

I figured it was a Cthulu thing since he lives in the ocean.

dr..... id say about one week left, two at the most? considering the shorter day/night phases, that is~ then, if last off season was anything to go by, .... there was a break of about a week or two, plus the sign up window of a couple of weeks, i'd say there was about a month gap, maybe? between the end of season and the start of the new one.

likely s4 will start end of oct at earliest? i think~
 
I was scared some of you just looked at blargohunt and the beagle/corgi pair for inspiration for a while there

I joined Heaven Games because of AoM. When AoE3 came out everyone jumped over there.

Ah the earlier days of the Internet. Now we have a PM system.

Thank goodness kitty mafia finished early. Spent most of my time making this admittedly bad gif:

Perfect

It's so horrifying as town but so SO beautiful when you're scum

That's right. I was mainly there for AoM as well. I used to browse forums so much. I have no idea how I didn't know mafia was a thing until recently.

I just saw a 28 player game while going through these old mafia games. Let's do a big big game. We are going the wrong direction by making them smaller.

Makai. I thought you were Launchpad because in the beginning you made two introductory posts and between those Launch had replaced corn so I thought you must have been him, since you wrote your introduction twice :p. Hence wetwet.

Congratz cats! I had fun being in the cat king persona, too bad I had to go to sleep and then you guys were already finished.

;_;

To be fair, if we hadn't lynched the doctor then, we would have lynched our cop, which would have been waaaaay worse, especially if you consider that town actually didn't lose the ability to protect someone, it just moved to me. So in hindsight, we really did manage to pick the lesser of two evils there.

This would be my preference for the main Seasonal games:

0. Post mortem for any needed rules changes, feedback, etc.

1. Figure out who wants to run games in the new season, including theme, restrictions, gimmicks, but do not pick games yet.

2. Post thread in Off-Topic for recruitment purposes, leave it there for X days/weeks.

3. Have all interested players vote on which of the games they would prefer. i.e. if we're going to play 3 games, have them pick 3 from a list.

4. Top 3(or whatever) games get players distributed as evenly as possible among them, leaving some players as replacements.

5. Game Moderators now balance their game with assistance from other chosen moderators and backups.

6. Players may arrange 1:1 trades between games.(This step I care least about, but I don't think it would be a problem

7. Players get assigned roles.

8. Games start.

Once enough players have died, people can host side games like we have been doing, which can ignore some of these rules for expediency, though do try and give players 24-48 hours to show interest. I would also prefer if players stuck to a single game while they're alive, unless it's needed for replacement purposes specifically.
