DA Mafia: Suggestions + Q&A

Hmmm, I'd like to talk about roles for a second.

First, Auditor. Why does it change a Mafia role to Mafioso? Like, what does it mean? If it makes said Mafia person lose their role, that's bad to become a Mafioso then it's counter-productive. You're being detrimental to the Mafia, which is the most anti-town faction. If it means Mafia gets a second NK with Mafioso... then stop. Like, seriously.

Second, Survivor is the stupidest role ever. It literally serves no purpose. This is the role that in my honest opinion requires the least amount of player skill, if any skill at all. Hence imo it should just be removed. If you need a fodder role just go the citizen route. At least that role has a purpose.

Third, I would like to put forth an idea called the Lawyer. It can work for both town and Mafia and it basically prevents the lynch for that day. During the day the lawyer can decide to make the lynch effectively useless. Of course after D2 it becomes Null and it is revealed to town that their is a Lawyer (the revealing can be changed). This is too prevent a bastardy ending to a game. It also makes the user feel a sense of urgency and forces him to assess the pros and cons rather than just going for an end game win with both Mafia and Town.

If a Lawyer is used, the user is revealed (regardless of town or Mafia) to the players. This is to add another thing to the pros and cons.

Now for game mechanics.

First, Mafia should have daytalk. The reason why is because it ruins the main niche Mafia has--Teamwork. One could say you could hint to your partner, but that's just honestly really bad. Give me one consistent way to do that that is also viable. And on its own Mafia don't really have any advantages. If people see this, I hope you come out of your shell and don't just say this makes the game harder. In fact in some instances it makes it easier as its easier to spot connections.

Second, you should use quicktopic. It is just better. I mean, it's simple to make, and it allows non-mafia members to see it after the game has ended. This allows people to understand why the game went such a way and why the Mafia members did what they did.

Third, I suggest diversity in the games you host. Having the same setup every game is just... boring.

Can we have a Dead Chat for this game, as well?

Another suggestion, have a Mafia Night chat somewhere outside DA. Someone has already bringed this up (I think that it was hazmah) but Pep has noticed something (very well noticed btw). User's post count keeps rising, even while other users cannot see the Night Chat and who is in the Night chat, the post count will still rise and can be used as an advantage and kinda cheating.

We will not be using outside sources for our Mafia games. As for the method of cheating, I was always aware of that possibility, but if you are to go as far as to continuous check every Mafia participants post-count, then why even play the game? All that does is ruin any fun you would otherwise have trying to legitimately deduce who is apart of the Mafia.

I've already been considering Mafia Lives, but I'm still unsure on how it will work in the chatbox.

As Botto has already said, Anzo will not allow me to use any outside sources for this game.

You could still have a hidden topic for it.  You would just have to impose a smaller time limit for the night actions.

I'm not understanding what we're talking about here. All Night Chats already have their own hidden sections, it's been done like that from the start.

It is very interesting actually. And no it wouldn't be obvious as nobody would just lynch out of nowhere just to get rid of the bomb if it's not in the final minutes..lit would give a bit of an intensive feel. 


But I agree with @CrimsonOverlord that the win condition is literally impossible. Maybe he should show as innocent for it to be easier for him to actually have a chance.

This can be changed then! 

Also i think that if the one with the bomb already made a lynch he will hve to make a new one for him to be able to give the bomb up...also there should be infinite amounts of time a person can give up the bomb to somebody e
Se imo to make it more interesting. 

But how could one get bombed then?
