ELECTRONIC MAFIA! - Game no. 1

[Tuly]

o.k let's have some sweet action, so we can play again.

[Cousin Alex Hall]

Emma, if you have an accusation that Betsy is the Mafioso you had better share it in the next fifteen minutes, 'cuz I'm taking her comment as an accusation and vote to kill.

[Cousin Alex Hall]

Betsy has implicitly accused that Emma is the Mafioso by simply passively speaking of her as such. I have taken that accusation as a vote to kill Emma. I have seen no accusations from Emma and it is time for the execution. 7:33 Utah time/6:33 Cali.

EMMA HAS BEEN EXECUTED. EMMA WAS THE MAFIOSO. THE CITIZENS WIN!

Robert was the Detective, which was not disclosed as he was killed by the Mafioso. Ian was the Medic, which was known after he was voted for death by the citizens. Every other player was citizenry except for.. Emma.



I want to add that Emma's private notes calling for the mafia murders were quite amusing. I was also amused that she was the Mafia at all - by assignment from this true random number generator (link), no less!

Also, I thought she was going to win up until just fifteen minutes ago. You gotta watch the time closer and use the private message service faster if you're gonna win!

I'm up for another game with someone else being host. I think two Mafia, a Medic, a Detective, and at least two citizens would be great - six people.

Ian, if this might become a mainstay, I think your idea of a main forum topic of games is probably a good idea. If you want to make that I'll post up the resources and methods I used to run this game.

[Betsy]

I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

o.k me wanna play

[Oh! Susanna]

um, technically Alex, I think that Emma wins. 'Cause if you get down to two people the mafia has won. That's my understanding, anyway. Anybody have any input? 'Cause Alex's moderating is almost as confusing as Edward's

[Ian]

i think that since emma did not vote, and betsy kind of voted, it's like betsy won by a vote of one to nothing. this game has been kind of confusing because every time there was a vote, no more than one person voted.

[Cousin Alex Hall]

Hmm.. the rules I referred to don't seem to have a contingency for when there are only two remaining players, a mafia and citizen.

Also, I've realized I didn't do it properly in at least one way: I'm supposed to let nominees give a formal speech before execution.

And having a deadline for execution meant that Betsy nominated fifteen minutes before the time, like sniping on eBay

I think I'd change it to have no formal time for execution - just when a consensus on nominations is met.

I think if you get down to two people it's still open for either to win - the citizen by voting out the mafia or the mafia executing the citizen - or a draw if both vote for the other or niether votes.

And I'm the officiator and I say Betsy wins

[John]

Emma was unable to respond within the 15 minute time allottment, since she was at her required High School choir concert and had no way of being aware of the deadline. Ah well.
Next year in Jerusalem!

[Betsy]

sorry emma.

[Bryn]

Mafia should win!

there is no justice.

[Cousin Alex Hall]

Okay, the truth is that the Citizen broke all procedures of democracy and killed the Mafia illegally. Things can get really ugly when people take justice into their own hands.

Okay, the REAL truth is that I'm scapegoating the Citizen.

Seems to me that not having formal deadlines for execution are a better idea for new games. I'll call recast this one as a draw. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean Emma isn't dead. It just means civililization made a mistake they have an opportunity to learn from.

Anyone up to host a new game? I would, but I'd like to give others an opportunity to make mistakes as well.. :p

[Tuly]

o.k I'll do it. Whose in on this next round?...and most important what do I do now?

[Lili]

I'm in! Shall we wait a couple days for everyone to have a chance to notice/join in?

[Tuly]

o.k - Tuesday, November 7th we will begin.
