Taka Nuvia Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 If we're going to structure Mafia as a series, I think we should stop it at "you need to check for approval from other players first". That way we don't end up with like, six different games at once. We need a way of enforcing this. Would Windrider be willing to make this a part of the official G&T rules? I'm not much a fan of a set number of games allowed; checking back with/getting approval of some other members, however, should definitely be considered, and I guess it would be good to get this out as an official rule, especially now with the more-or-less official discussion topic... What happened to "Training and Experiments", by the way? Is it still going, or...? My art collection topic - updated! (21/09/2021) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taka Nuvia Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 We could start another T&E game... No. Just, no. One vote for maybe, one for no. I guess that's a 'rather not'. Okay. Do you guys think a zombie apocalypse-y game would have any chance, anyway? With dead players returning as zombies after 1 day (thus leaving something to do for those who died, one way or another), a certain chance for them to zombiefy others upon attacking and their votes counting less? I'm still looking for a way to properly balance it, but there's a half-finished concept I'd love to try out someday. It would possibly have to be a T&E game, anyway, so I'll save that concept for later. 3 My art collection topic - updated! (21/09/2021) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltex Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think a zombie type game would work - I actually have one basically all planned and balanced out as far as roles go (some touching up would be required before release, of course). So it's certainly possible, and with the amount of time I have and the number of games (both Mafia and not Mafia) that I wish to run, it is of low priority to me. So if anyone wants it, I can send it to you and you may do with it what you will. JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quisoves Potoo Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 What is the difference between a Side Game and a Main Series game? Is there any hard distinction?

Voltex Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Side games tend to be more experimental overall, while experimental changes to the main series games usually involve either a small number of new roles (less than two), or a new twist. That said, there are of course games that break that trend. Also, since the main series games are the "more important" numbered games, there's a tiny bit more pressure to make them awesome.

Quisoves Potoo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 In the event that Persistent Souls does not materialize tomorrow, I'd be willing to host a game. I've got a pretty solid idea.

Voltex Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Since this is the closest thing that the G&T forum has to a general discussion topic, I thought I would pose a question here: What are your thoughts on posts not counting in this forum? Is it better this way, or should we create a suggestion tracker to try and have the posts made here count? JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portalfig Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 If all the games were like Mafia, Bionifight, etc, then yes. However, because of games like Steal the Mask and such I think it shouldn't be a thing. I see the appeal in those games, but those types of games are why posts don't count. After all, one can just show up and post, then leave and there isn't any commitment? *shrugh* It still is too easy to spam. I would like to be able to see the number of posts you made in G&T and such on your profile again, though. That would be cool. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
