Hrm.

Robo Rally Mafia.

For those who havn't played, in the boardgame Robo Rally, you command a robot trying to win a race through a factory floor. the catch is that you have to program your robot ahead of time; each turn, you get nine cards (less if you're damaged) and have to use them to program your next five moves in advance.

So Robo Rally Mafia would require people to, say, send in their actions for Night 1, 2, and 3 on Night 1; Nights 4, 5, and 5 on Night 4, etc. Leading to situations like "Oh, crap, um... I know you're town, but, um, I think I'm going to wind up killing you tonight."

Downside: Les interaction means more boredom, I think.

Upside: Puts far more important on voting if you say "Oh, crap, you're the doctor? I'm the vig, and I'm killing you in two nights. Quick, everyone, lynch me or we lose the doctor."

Very interesting setup. I would play that one.

(psst, I also really want to play your Mafia Draft still, that was a very interesting premise and was going well before you had to take your hiatus)

Tell you what... next time I feel like running a Mafia, I'll do the Draft.

Maybe with a little more balance to it.

Yay! I knew continuing to pester you about it would pay off

Don't get your hopes up. Probably won't feel like running one for a while now...

The serial killer in Meanie Mod had to do this.

Somebody should make a game like Magnitos Munchkin game where they had the mechanic where the mafia had to play against each other and the all had different win condition.

Examples:

You have a normal mafia win condition. You win when only players in your mafia remain.

You win by surviving to the end, no matter what side claims the final victory.

You win if you are the only player left in the game.

At the start of the game, immediately choose 2 of your mafia team mates and PM me their names. You can win with these two players, but not anyone else.

You came here to play with your friend, Mafia Member A. The two of you have an alliance. You may win with him, but no one else.

You came here to play with your friend, Mafia Member b. The two of you have an alliance. You may win with him, but no one else.

and the mafia couldnt use the same person to make the kill twice in a row and you could pm the mod to change your action than what was submitted on the proboards.
