CTM Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 any interest in me running a "mafia" like game based on survivor mechanics. every man for himself, someone is voted off every other day, in thread would be used for alliance building but I'd allow people to communicate privately in qt or pm, once down to the final 2... everyone who was voted off chooses between the final 2 in thread I was thinking we could do immunity challenges, but I'm not exactly sure how to orchestrate them yet.. was thinking it *could* be interesting how people manipulate each another.. but it could also flop thoughts? I'd need to figure out immunity mechanics that are fair though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Jack_D_ Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If everyone is out for themselves them it's hard to work cause speed lynches will run up and you don't need cases etc. It might work but you don't have to do any real work. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVM Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I think it'd be similar, Leelou...and Hunger Games was one of my favorite games we've ever played here. Sandman ftw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVM Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I didn't play the hunger games .. can someone fill me in? Brett started the game and gave everyone free reign to start however many QT's they wanted. Then people would post in the game thread who they were voting for. Once voted out, the "dead thread" was like a tribute center. People voted during night phases to give a bow (vig shot), armor (BPV) or something else I think...can't remember to be honest. You had a bunch of double and triple crossing, effected who got whatever items at night...was good stuff. I'm pretty sure someone got mad at me for double crossing them while they were plotting in another QT to double cross me and Sharrow (Christine maybe?). It was a pretty big game...you had to always look 2 moves ahead to try and figure out the route to win, that's how we got Sharrow the win. If we could work a way to do an immunity thing like the show, that'd be great. Would add more than just the making deals factor in to the game. I suppose it would be possible to start with 2 or 3 teams like they do too...not sure. I haven't seen it in a long time but the basic gist of it is the same I'm sure.

AVM Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 One of mine, too. I was close to winning...then I got killed...LOL I loved looking through the QT's at the end. Our two groups had that alliance (me, you, Sharrow, Christine, 80, maybe BG?) and as soon as we formed it both started planning when to double cross the other LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 meh... Hunger Games was not particularly fun. I pm'd exactly 0 people and the people PMing me were transparently just trying to double cross me. Lets face it.. No one is going to let me win a solo game. I'll play just because but expect to die in a day or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to win many of those. What might be interesting is if the contests for immunity are pre-determined by the mod and outlined in the dead thread before it begins... no one in the game thread will know what the challenge is.. they just have to win it. once immunity is won the mod could either proclaim who's won that day or keep it a secret and if we lynch that player it just goes to night.. I don't know.. just thinking out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 elaborate how that would work.. i still can't figure it out and am open to suggestions I literally thought of it as I was typing the post.. something along the lines of you thinking of an appropriate challenge and posting it in the dead thread before the challenge begins.. that way it's time stamped and everyone will be able to see it was on the up and up. If you don't announce in the game thread what the challenge is, everyone will have an equal chance of winning. The PM me first jazz isn't very fair.. if a person isn't busy that day they can just keep a screen open and refresh every 5 minutes... The problem is coming up with a challenge that fits the game and isn't goofy.. I don't know what that might be.. If the game was based on a popular movie I'm sure you can come up with something. It would admittedly be tough to come up with 5-10 challenges depending on how many people play and how many kills there are... I don't know.. it would take a lot of ingenuity to make an everyone for themselves game where all but a couple people think they have a chance of winning. you can hand out prizes like a "misdirector"... If the misdirector is lynched on the day he is the misdirector, he/she can shift the lynch to a player of their choosing etc. there's a ton of things you can do but it would be a ton of work and you'd open yourself up to whining.. I think a more conventional game with a lot of twists is more fun, personally... Nothing like a cult game to rile up the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 yes true, i've been trying to think of new mechanics just for the novelty My personal opinion is that mechanics don't need to be over-thought. I put more effort into aligning roles and mechanics to the story I've chosen to adapt, which I think is what makes moderating a creative endeavor. Pac does the same with his games. I'd love to actually play in a game you moderate, because I've begun talking to my moderator throughout my games. It would actually be fun to discuss how I'm flipping back and forth between left and right brain mafia.... rather than just argue constantly, you old bitch.
