So many sequels. Y'all are worse than Hollywood.

But mine is the only one that will have major call backs to the first one.

Pretty sure the only returning role(in character, not abilities) will be Xander since he's the sole survivor.
We are talking about referencing the previous game in the flavor. Because, well, they're sequels

Even then, I think Xander might be flavor text.

Very likely tbh. I dunno if Opo will drop the Horse Emblem premise, he might change it to have the new villains+Veronica and Xander as the Mafia.
Or multiball, I dunno

Or maybe have Armor Emblem because that's the new meta

Ha, you wish, Horse Emblem still is, and always will be, the Meta.

The Fighter skills would like to have a word with you.

Fighter skills don't give Armors 3 Mov though.

Armor March gives two and ignores forests, which horses can't go through.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Chill Tomes/skills seem like the new wave of power to me. Their only counter is a team with Harsh Commands. Add in Fortify/Hones/Tactics in the C slot and Fury/Bonds/Brazen skills in the A slot, phew that's some ridiculous power.

 

[Deleted member]

Maybe we should bring this discussion to the Social

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Otherwise I'll end up fighting against my old self. Or with. Or I'd end up as Xander again which would actually be kinda funny.

Anyways, if I would have one recommendation for the next game: base the abilities off of actual skills in FEH, that'd be interesting.

Is this the right thread for asking how to make a mafia game? Because I've been thinking of doing a Kirby mafia at some point.

Yes, it's the right thread.

But warning, the queue makers are bad at queue making

Yes. Also Goo is an actual role. *wink*

 

[Deleted member]

Alright, so how do I make my own mafia game? I don't know when it'll happen, but I'd like to prepare it ahead of time.

You're put on the bottom a queue (or you can ask to be in an "eventually" section too).

You're free to plan your game as you please until you're ready and it's your turn to host a game.

My question was how to plan it.
I wasn't clear about that, my bad.

 

[Coricus]

I think I want to run a sort of contest thread for who should partner with me on my game. Would that be alright? Each participant would send a PM containing a role pitch for a townie, and the top two picks would be chosen as co-hosts while each pick after that would be put on an "emergency contact" cue. Probably leave it open for a while, give more people time to join the group. Would that be fine? I feel like dedicating a topic to it would get the best results in this case.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I'm cool with that.

I can share with you the list of interesting roles ive found online. But that's it. I would much rather play...
So that way I can help without knowing anything about the game.

well everyone does it differently. I just brainstorm ideas in a google docs and thats it. make up some roles etc. You need to figure it out yourself.

I think you will need to give at least basic guidelines


Are you looking for vanilla? Chaos? Certain min or max of abilites?


If someone writes a chaos role for a vanilla game, you probably arent going to get good results lol.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Actually. . .wait dont do that. that would give away info on your game. . .nvm

 

[Coricus]

You could put the roles on the thread without actually submitting to the contest. That way everyone making mafia games can have a little reference to dig through and people have slightly more reason to pop in.

What's the difference between vanilla and chaos?

I mean, other than the difference between an ice cream cone and a soul sucking parasite, obviously.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I made up the chaos term so this isn't really an official definition but. . .

vanilla is like my game. Everything is basic.

Chaos is more crazy and absurd. Chaos roles are generally more absurd with crazy events. Something simple like "kill a player" is vanilla. but "kill a player and then their corpse explodes the next day causing *insert weird variable here*" would be more chaotic.

 

[Deleted member]

If anyone ever wants me to co-host their game, just know I'd be willing to if it's a theme I'm at least somewhat familiar with, could even make up some roles if needed.

Oh I definitely don't want my game to be stalebread. Part of the reason inspired helpers would be nice, I'm not sure if it'll get as crazy as I want it to be with me on my own. Granted, I want the roles to make sense, but. . .well you know Uprising. Shouldn't be restrained, either. I'm pretty sure I was intending to clarify that I would favor more creative and inspired submissions, but I do tend to mentally blank out a lot too.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Sent my ****.

Probably too basic, but whatever.

yh I did that before when the list was smaller.

or just make an incredibly unbalanced game like my last one with overly complex roles. Some people were basically 3-4 roles in one.

There's a negative consequence to games having standard roles more than just a lack of fun, it also makes lying about roles much more difficult, or even makes it unclear to the mafia whether or not they must/should.

Also is Hades in the flavor? Because if not I want him as a role. >.>

The flavor text is currently planned to involve all forumites actually using Idol Cards as proxies while the real characters heckle from the sidelines, so you don't have to worry too much about the flavor getting in the way LOL.

 

[Wolfie557]

I have a solid idea on who the 3rd party/parties are.

 

[Deleted member]

You know what Cori? I'll make some KI roles, brb

 

[Coricus]

Is it that obvious already? :x I only have like two or three half baked roles in a decent state and I'm already getting them guessed out from under me.

But of course, even if you're reading my mind right now, it still won't necessarily help in game LOL.

I mean... Kid Icarus isn't exactly a franchise with a lot of major characters...

 

[Coricus]

I guess not, LOL.

Even so, I do intend to screw with people's expectations during the game in as many ways as possible even with a limited cast.

And just because a role is expected doesn't mean it can't be a mess to actually deal with, LOL.

Hopefully amping up the complexity will help the game be a bit more interesting.
