Gaza Strip Mafia (feedback thread (0/13?))

Mafia

There are 3 faction leader roles. The Israeli Prime Minister, the Chairman of Hamas, and Chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The leaders alone know their win condition. Each leader has a night action that involves killing a citizen. Every citizen currently aligned with a faction leader wins when their leader wins.

Palestinians may align themselves freely between Hamas/PLO by announcing it during the day to share the faction's win condition, if they have been forced onto a faction this has no effect. All roles are known on day 1. Citizens are always a member of the latest faction they have been forced onto. The citizen chosen to attempt a kill knows which leader is asking them and their target and must accept or refuse during the same night. The death announcement on day start will only reveal alignment if they are a forced citizen of a faction.

Only one night kill can happen total. The faction with the lowest number of aligned members gets the highest priority, lowest forced members if it's a tie, cointoss if it's still a tie. Even though only 1 night action may happen all the leader requests are still sent to their chosen citizen.

Leader roles

Israeli Prime Minister

You are the Israeli Prime Minister. During the night you may attempt to kill one Palestinian citizen by selecting one Israeli citizen to carry out the task.

If your chosen citizen refuses then no kill happens and your Israeli citizen becomes a forced member of the faction you attempted to kill and learns their win condition.

Chairman of Hamas

You are the Chairman of Hamas. During the night you may attempt to kill any citizen of any faction by selecting one Palestinian citizen of any faction to carry out the task.

If your chosen citizen refuses then nothing happens.
If your chosen citizen accepts then they learn your win condition and become a forced member of Hamas.

Chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization

You are the Chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. During the night you may attempt to kill any citizen of any faction by selecting any citizen to carry out the task and selecting a faction they would be forced to join on refusal.

If your chosen citizen refuses then they become a forced member of any faction you specified for their exile and learn their win condition.
If your chosen citizen accepts then they learn your win condition and become a forced member of the PLO.

Citizen roles

Israeli Citizen

You are an Israeli citizen. You win when the Israeli PM wins, if you have been forced onto a faction your new win condition is your faction leader's win condition.

Palestinian Citizen

You are a Palestinian citizen, you may announce your alignment with Hamas or the PLO during the day and share their win condition. If you have been forced onto a faction your new win condition is your faction leader's win condition.

If a citizen has been forced onto Hamas/PLO then they are considered a Palestinian citizen. If a citizen has been forced onto Israel then they are considered an Israeli citizen.

A good player count would be 13 (3 leaders, and 5 citizens on each side). The win conditions are staying private but know that no faction will share a win condition and I'd supply several premade win conditions for the day1 post so bluffing is more symmetrical.

Looking forward to this game. A voluntary recruitment game with no traditional lynch structure may have some interesting implications.

3

I think a two state solution would be the Game Theory Optimal playstyle.

looking forward to watching you play

You should sign. Brendan always spoke very highly of your mafia play.

don't be a psycho, brendan isn't real. and if tree is back, i'm still going to enjoy watching you play

You and matticus where who I thought of when I made this game. What do you think of the format? I need the leaders of each faction to be active and conniving players.

Also I was wondering what everyone thinks of having the 3 leaders set before the game starts, or if maybe people can elect to be leaders during signing and the roles are then shuffled onto those players.

Election phase before day 1 starts.

Okay I'll sign. I'm not very politically inclined though. You can make me a member of the proletariat.

He made an account to post this.

My game isn't political at all. I could change it to be themed around the Three Kingdoms or maybe the 3 different gangs in GTA San Andreas without changing the mechanics at all if that works for everyone. I just wanted to try this mafia theorycraft.

patchnote: If a leader issues an order to a citizen or has a target it can't then the leader will be notified that their order won't work. The citizen it tried to give the order to will still know though.

a shame. game never starting.

13

you're being a real jerk to our friend

14

your friend has never been nice, and it's not something i'm "doing" to say that it won't start - a 13 person setup in this place, with the current vibes as they are? you're the one giving your friend false hope. unless you have more friends to sign. but somehow i think that would make some of the others refrain from signing

15

Shouldn't the leader know his followers? If a citizen has defected from his group shouldn't said citizen still have to manually refuse the action?

I don't think a Host-Error is the right response to this case.

16

I've actually taken the player count into consideration. Initially I wanted to let each leader do a kill per night 3-2 people would die but then that would make it a 2 day game. By only letting 1 person die a night I think this would let us start with an 8+3 or 10+3 setup, if we're really struggling we could maybe do 6+3 and start with 9 people total. I want this game to work.

Have you read the PLO chairman role btw? It's the most treacherous.

Player count must be an even number so we can have a two state solution.

18

I'm not too sure honestly. That's why I posted this feedback thread before we get it rolling. I want Palestineans to align with whoever they want while having their true alignment unknown though. Maybe if an alignment is forced the leader will always know?

Just the biggest jerk off thread on the entire website.
