If no one is gonna step up and make a damn game, I have a proposition:
NintenZone's Mafia Crossover Pick Your Power Edition(or NZMCPYPE for short)
It's really simple to set up because the idea would be that players can choose their Role from the previous NZ games. Pick Your Power allows for players to choose how they want to play and let's the host just not worry about balancing.
How'd this work though?

Would the host just PM each player, "OK guys. Scan through any RIPM, send me whatever role you want."

What if the town ends up with like

8 doctors

and 4 revivers? LOL

Or is the game meant to be unbalanced?

Yeah, that's kind of the point but there would be limitations such as no 3rd Parties.
Also, only one copy of each role so no one can have the same role.

It's meant to be unbalaced but I'd think Revivers is a no-no

Ohhh, so does the one copy rule also apply to same role types? So two cops can't coexist, two trackers, etc?

I'm not really sure on that part tbh but it's something we can discuss.

Like, do people ask for a specific role(i.e.: I want Innes) or just for a Role type and let the hosts select it(i.e: I want Cop)?

Alright, gonna drop an announcement.

I'm taking a break from mafia as long as my work schedule is as it is.

I'll still spectate and ****post with the graveyard people.

But actually playing? I'll have to take a break because juggling the mental exercise that is mafia with work just feels... insane.

Will still co-host Cori's game though.

I thought we'd just compile all eligible roles from all games, organize them, and then have players submit a number from 1 to 25. The people who chose numbers that weren't picked by anyone else would then be able to go first, and after each chose their role, the category would disappear for others (so if someone submitted the number 1, it was unique, they'd go first, pick cop, the guy who submitted 2 (which was unique) couldn't be cop), and so on.

If players submitted the same number then they'd have the same roles available to them. To prioritize people who chose unique numbers, the lower values would go first.

I'll ask red if its possible to start signups a bit earlier.

GoT currently has 18 people on the list playing or spectating. I've finally updated it haha. But everyone will need to reconfirm once I post the new rules in a new thread. In this same thread the game will start so don't worry there wont be 3 threads for got.

why not? 3rd parties would have to be by themselves and not be part of mafia or town.

i'm all down for this game. it will be crazy.
im guessing use teh standard relative numbers for how many mafia compared to town, and let 3rd parties be however many people want top be 3rd party.

edit: think you need a limit for amount of mafia. first come first served otherwise mafia can easily outnumber.

I think maybe the host would roll each person, so if there's like 17 people, maybe 1-12 are townies, 13-16 are mafia, and the 17th is third party and can choose from any eligible pre-existing role. but idk

but tbh we should wait to make this game until some other downtime

Fire has his FE Mafia out already so I think that we should just wait for that to fill up imo

That... sounds way overcomplicated.
My idea was, after sign ups, players would get rolles for alignment and send a PM to the host asking for two roles, with a chance to get either of them.

Because a lot of 3rd Parties were either balanced around their own games or are outright broken.

naaaah, that's usually how priorities work in games where you can choose your role, I think. I was surfing through the mafia wiki the other day and it was the lowest unique number went first, I recall.

That'd be a true priority system, but sending two roles to the host would work just as well. And be way simpler :'^))))

you cant be that busy to not play when you are on a team with others to play for you, right? :p
at least consider if i need players.
And yet, me being busy led to me being shot during day on two separate occasions; Capcom Mafia and Fate/Mafia 2

Kon shot me in Bad Idea Mafia, yeah, but he was at least honorable enough to shoot me while I was there.

Honestly the best part about Shish's idea is that some roles that were interesting but didn't get to be useful due to being killed early could have a second chance. I want to try one of the Capcom mafia roles myself hahahaha.

But yeah, ban Dante lmao. He's too stylish for a game like that.

Huh.

Okay, then.

I'll try to compile ALL roles, sometime soon. EVERY

last

one

of

them.

From Swamp's first game

to Fire Emblem 2.

And name the game something like Ultimate Mafia.

This is going to be a hot mess. :'^)))

Bring back Morrigan.

Astral Vision was such an insane idea that never got to be used...
Just redo all the game, I though Wright was also a stupid cool role yet he got killed without doing anything. :(

Gotta get back to doing some roles for mafia, that was rather fun hahaha.

Maybe doing a proper banlist would be a good idea. And then we could make this a recurring thing.
So this will be NintenZone's Mafia 64, and the next one shall be Melee so wait untio the end of the year before we host a broken one :^)
