each week we take the top 10 spin increase songs from pop and do survivor. If a song is in the top 10 and won a previous round, it is removed and the next highest increase takes its place. :)

So a question for those of you who frequent the games section: If I hosted some mafia games here, with fun music-related themes; would anyone actually be interested?

Sure! That explanation is so confusing though, you'll have to explain the rules better for me.

That helps! One question: during the day phase, do the mafia get to vote as well, or do they have to pretend to blend in without voting? Now, how the hell would we make this music-related?

Yes, the mafia are able to vote.
Well you would get 'flavour' to your roles. Instead of being just having like 5 townspeople and 2 mafia; it would be something like:
"You are 'Justin Bieber' a Townsperson." <--except your role PM would have more flavour and such, and all 5 townspeople would be different people.
&
"You are 'Gary Trust' a Mafiosi." <--except with reasons why you're an evil billboard exec looking to destroy the music industry and details for who your partner is; as well as a 'safe claim' that you can use {your safeclaim would be like 'You can claim to be 'Shania Twain' a Townsperson as she is not in this game}

The moderator is also responsible for writing flavour at the beginning/end of each day and night describing what has happened. (Stories of murder in the night and all that jazz; just more flavour to make it more music themed)

So the only relation to music is that we are artists, right? I read more on the site and have more questions Regarding the cop and doctor roles, is it made publicly known who they are? For the cop, it says they tell the mafia who to investigate and find out which side they're on. What happens once they find out on which side somebody is? Are they allowed to share the information? If they're mafia, are they killed? For the doctor, are they allowed to say publicly who they protected? If they protect someone on the mafia side, does anything special happen? Then also, how would we do the "day" and "night" phases? Like, people would have to be online for most of the day to engage in conversation, and if they're mafia they'd have to be around during the night as well. Also with time zones that would ruin the effect and make it hard for anyone not in North America (i.e. me) to engage in daytime conversation. I think that's all. ETA - oh one more thing, it says that if you have seven players, you need four votes for the same person to get that one killed. If the vote is split 2-3-2, then is the one who got three votes killed, or do we just wait for the day to pass boringly? If the former, what happens if there's no majority vote i.e. everyone votes for a different person? Or in that case, if there are six players and the vote is split evenly? Define "flavour". Are they required to tell the truth? Also would you be the moderator?

So the only relation to music is that we are artists, right? Yes; the only thing involving music is the 'flavour' of the game. The 'flavour' of the game does not affect the mechanics of the game, just the theme. [Think of survivor. The act of adding/subtracting from things is the mechanic of the game; and the songs/artists that you are using is the flavour to make it more enjoyable.] Regarding the cop and doctor roles, is it made publicly known who they are? The only time roles are announced by the moderator are when the moderator announces when someone dies and such. The moderator will then reveal what they were. At the end of the game the moderator posts all role PMs for everyone to see. For the cop, it says they tell the mafia who to investigate and find out which side they're on. What happens once they find out on which side somebody is? Are they allowed to share the information? If they're mafia, are they killed? During the Night Phase, the Cop would PM the moderator a command such as "Investigate: Slizzard" and at the end of the night phase, the moderator would PM the Cop an answer such as "Guilty" or "Innocent". Then Cop would be the only one with that knowledge, and then during the day phase during discussion the Cop could do a few things. The Cop could just come right out and say "I'm the Cop guys, I found out that Slizzard is guilty, let's lynch him!" Or the Cop could keep his role secret (let's say there are 2 mafia still left, and if he says he's the cop, then he'll get killed the next night instead of being able to investigate again) so he says something like "Looking at the discussion from yesterday, I think Slizzard is mafia guys, he voted for the townie we ended up lynching first." or something along those lines. For the doctor, are they allowed to say publicly who they protected? If they protect someone on the mafia side, does anything special happen? During the Night Phase, the Doctor would PM the moderator a command such as "Protect: Slizzard" and then the next morning, either there will be a kill or there won't be a kill. If there is a kill, that means protecting Slizzard didn't do anything for one of two reasons: He's a mafia himself and thus was never going to be targeted to be killed, or he wasn't the townie that the mafia cared about killing yet. Essentially, that gives no information. If there isn't a kill, then that means that the doctor likely successfully stopped the mafia kill, meaning that the person who was protected isn't mafia since they were targeted for a kill that ended up failing due to the doctor protecting. Thus it would make sense for the doctor to claim "Hey guys, I'm the doctor and I protected Slizzard, meaning we're both town!" For both the Cop and Doctor roles, that's generally how it plays out...until more advanced roles are added to the game. However, I'm planning on running a very simple set-up at first, so you won't have to even worry about that. Then also, how would we do the "day" and "night" phases? Like, people would have to be online for most of the day to engage in conversation, and if they're mafia they'd have to be around during the night as well. Also with time zones that would ruin the effect and make it hard for anyone not in North America (i.e. me) to engage in daytime conversation. A "day" in the game of mafia doesn't equal an actual day. Same with the "night", it's simply terminology. For instance, a "Day Phase" can be 2 weeks. That gives people adequate time to talk with one another, even with time zone differences and life being busy. Also a "Night Phase" is usually like 2/3 days to give people time to send in their kill/investigation/protection to the moderator. ETA - oh one more thing, it says that if you have seven players, you need four votes for the same person to get that one killed. If the vote is split 2-3-2, then is the one who got three votes killed, or do we just wait for the day to pass boringly? Define "flavour". Are they required to tell the truth? Also would you be the moderator? Everyone is able to change their vote throughout the "Day Phase". You can change your vote at any time during the "Day Phase". So you might be voting 'josh' but then if someone else does something that makes you change your mind, then you can just switch your vote to them. You talk and discuss and make your arguments for why people need to vote with you to get the person who you think is scum lynched. Hence why the "Day Phase" gives lots of time. The mafia is not required to tell the truth! The goal of the mafia is to trick townspeople into lynching their own by pretending to be townspeople, so of course they are lying. It just comes down to if the mafia are good enough liars to trick people or if the townspeople are good enough to catch the liars. Yes, I would be the moderator of the game.

Thank you for answering my questions! Oh, that's so much better than what I was thinking. (Though two weeks seems a bit long to me.) But if we still don't manage to get four votes for the same person, then what happens? I was talking about the moderator, not the mafia. Of course the mafia can lie.

I was talking about the moderator, not the mafia. Of course the mafia can lie. Two weeks is the LIMIT to the day. If you get 4 votes on someone in 72 hours, then good for you all for coming to a consensus so fast! The day will end then with someone getting lynched, and then it'll be night. So you don't have to sit around doing nothing forever. If throughout the whole day phase, no one ever has 4 votes on them at any point in time, then it just goes to night phase without a lynch [meaning you pretty much gave mafia a free kill]. And then after you give them their free kill, then it goes to the next day phase and you'll have another chance to lynch. So it's always a good thing to lynch, even if it isn't your personal top suspect; if deadline is approaching and everyone but you seems to want to lynch someone you don't want to, it's better to lynch and take the shot at mafia than letting them get the free nightkill on you. And in basic games, the moderator will never lie. The moderator almost never lies unless the mechanics call for it (and even then it isn't lying, it's just specific complex roles that you don't have to worry about yet). I'll give an example of when the moderator would 'lie'. Let's say when I tell the cop that he's the cop, I tell him 'Your sanity is not confirmed'. That means the cop could be 'sane' or 'insane' but doesn't know which. If the cop is sane, then his results will be correct. If the cop is insane, then his results will be the opposite of what is true. So the moderator would be 'lying', but not really since he already told the cop that his sanity isn't confirmed and thus the cop should know to take his results with a grain of salt.

Sample 3-player GameHumour this. I will post what would be an example of a quick 3-player game, where 1 person is mafia and two people are town. One of the three of you is mafia; two of you are townspeople! It is now Day 1! It takes 2 out of 3 votes to lynch! You have 1 week to reach a vote majority! How convincing. iDunno, sounds like a solid case to me. I'm town too. Scared to say you're town Jessica? Yes, I'm town. Clearly we'll all say we're town DUH What point does he have Thomas. Please explain. I mean, your delay in saying you were town is pretty telling. Really Thomas? Do you really believe that? Honestly it just sounds like you're agreeing with my point to buddy me. You know as well as I do that claiming town is pointless because everyone will claim town. Then why did you claim town in your first post huh? Thomas are you really flailing like five minutes into the discussion. It's pretty clear that my post was a kickstarter to get discussion rolling dude. Like really. I can't believe you didn't get that. Dumb or scum? If I'm 'probably scum' then why aren't you voting me Jessica? Wow seriously? 'Probably' does not mean 'I'm 100% sure'. If I threw down my vote and you weren't scum (meaning Bob would be scum) then he'd throw his vote down right away so you'd get lynched and he'd kill me in the night and win. I'm not going to risk the game on less than a page of discussion. Not gonna lie. I'm willing too at this point. This game is a bust, Thomas is way TOO obvious. Vote: ThomasMeh, I don't like that you're voting already. By the way Thomas: I'm posting & not quicklynching you. Spoilers: That means I'm town. If you're town, then from your perspective Bob would be the scum, so you should vote him. Woo! Jessica town-confirmed. I knew I was right. Are you really not even going to say anything Thomas? What is there to say? You just said it yourself Bob has to be scum! Um no. I said from your perspective IF YOU WERE TOWN that Bob would have to be scum in this situation. From my perspective AS THE DE FACTO CONFIRMED TOWNIE either of you could be scum. Can we just lynch Thomas and start a new game already. Thomas already ruined this one giving himself away like 2 posts in. Don't rush it Bob. Thomas is a newbie; he could easily just really be that dumb. I know you've played a lot, so it's easy for you to look townie even when you're scum. So what more do you want. Mostly to see Thomas post more so I can get a better feel of if he's dumb or scum. It'll be easier to judge him than it is to judge you. Well he's not posting without prompting. So prompt him. Thomas, make a case to convince me that Bob is scum. Well he's pushing for a lynch really fast and mafia would want to make the lynch go fast so there is less discussion and you make a rash decision. Lynching fast isn't always bad. Sometimes if you let discussion go on for too long it gives scum more time to paint a better picture for themselves and get themselves out of trouble. Please don't lynch me! Like you said Bob is just really good! LOL, appeal to emotion much? Yeah, that breaks the straw. Classic scumtell: vote: ThomasDay 1 ends! Thomas, Mafia Goon, has been lynched! Jessica and Bob, townies, survive! Town wins! Good game; sorry for taking so long Bob. No problem Jessica; you were right to wait. That's pretty much as basic as it can get. As you can see, you can end up with arguments forming even when you don't really have anything to discuss at the beginning of the game. It's amazing how in-depth arguments can get in big games with advanced players.

This sounds like fun! I've played Mafia before with my friends, and it can be really entertaining. I'd definitely be interested in playing. :)

Most of the boards use the following format: Several choices are listed in the first post, each with a number of points (they usually start out with the same number, but there have been variations of this). When a person votes, he or she removes so many points (usually 10) from one option and adds them to another. There is usually a limit to how often you can vote (usually have to wait for three other people to vote). The last option remaining (ends up with all the points) wins, typically. EXAMPLE GAME: Britney Spears (10) Christina Aguilera (10) I vote... +10 Christina -10 Britney Christina (20) Britney (0) Christina wins. I see All Of These Games That The Last One Standing Is The Worst? IDK
