Phalla - Sicily Game

ShintoShinto __BANNED USERS
Sicily Game

normal_Sicily.011.jpg

Mafiosos have come to a small village in the hills of Sicily. Every night these violent outlaws kill for sport. The villagers have resolved to resist.

Game Mechanics - There are three mobsters and one seer.

Every night the mob can kill two players.

Every night the seer can investigate one player to determine their true identities.

The village will vote to kill one player they think is a mobster every night. Each player can vote for who they wish to see put to death by posting:
I !Vote for _______.
Voting must be done in exactly this manner.

Each game day ends at 9:00 pm EST. For the mob to win the game they must kill enough players that the number of remaining players and the number of remaining mobsters is equal. For the village to win the game they must kill every member of the mob.

PMs assigning roles will be sent out shortly.

List of players:
gundam470 - killed by the mob night four - innocent
Kusuguttai - killed by the village night four - innocent
an_alt
Casual Eddy

jackisreal
Jragghen - killed by the mob night three - innocent

    If I'm calculating right, if we stake more than 3 villagers, we lose.

    :?

    Let's see. 3 deaths a turn. 21 villagers means 7 turns. 4 mobsters. Yep, sounds about right. I hope I do come up as a mobster just so you guys can stake me and give yourself at least the best chance possible. :?

    I heard Kusu moving when the mobsters were picking who to kill.


    He's totally one of them.

    Tricky. There's little room for plots here so all my best strategies go kaput.

  • ShintoShinto __BANNED USERS
    The seer also builds a network quickly guys.

    Is it to hard? I haven't sent out the PMs for this one yet so there is time to cut the number of mobsters to three.

    What say you?

    Given that the seer is the only special, the monsters also have an easier time building a fake network. I think you should cut it to three.
    On the other hand, we always seem to overestimate the monsters' chances in these games.

    I'm going to keep the voting open while I go the the 7/11 on the corner and get a coke.

    So everyone put in their 2 cents and I'll decide when I get back.

    Edit: I lied. I'm changing it to three mobsters.

    Please. PLEASE. It's still pretty weighted in the monster's favor, but every little bit helps.

    I'm writing a simple simulator to see how the game turns out, but I'm pretty sure at the moment it's weighted too much towards the mafiosos, so I vote for 3 of them.

  • Aroused BullAroused Bull Registered User
    In a small game like this, chance is more of a factor than in a larger game where the roles are multiply redundant. If the seer happens to get taken out early, we're screwed. The mob kills two players a turn, which gives them a good chance of nabbing the seer early and murdering us all. I think three mafioso is the maximum number feasible in a game this size. It'll probably be slightly in the mafia's favour, but two would be too few so it's the best option.
    I guess we could go for more mafia members and only one kill per night, but that's straying away from the rules Shinto set down.

    Three mobsters.

    The seer can only have one vision per night.

    They're still getting two kills a night?

    If so, that will actually put us worse off than before, so I assume not.

    You know guys, when I was selected as a vampire in Richy's last game and the entire player list was divided into groups of three who all received the same PM - so that my situation was completely hopeless because it was so easy for the village to organize - I just grinned and stuck it out. I didn't blubber and cry.

    Just suck it up. This was meant to be a short game. Five to seven nights. That is what you all signed up for. I'm not going to lose sleep for ten days because playing a hard game is too emotionally stressful or you think losing is the end of the world. Do your best, have fun.

    You shouldn't have gone asking for people's opinions then. People never have anything good to say.

    Yeah, a monster. It was the only time, though. After I was so kind to make everybody a special last game I was hoping for a little karmic reward.

    I !vote for real_pochacco. I don't even care enough to pretend to have a reason and hope to be killed in the first round to wash my hands of this.

    It's not even that. I've played in all but two of these games and have always been a villager. Your game, where everybody is a special? I'm a villager who lacks the only upside of a villager. Yea-ha.

    I am less then sympathetic to your plight.

    (Though I did enjoy the game you ran.)

    Sorry about that, DA.

    Sorry about that, DA.

    Yea, it's not really your fault, I've just been getting frustrated with it. I like games and like learning all the ins and outs of them. To keep getting the same role, a role with pretty limited options, is just frustrating.

    Anyways, somebody has to make up the great unspecial masses and I guess that's just my job. I'm going back to my own thread, where people don't post.

    Heh. Very well then. The streak remains alive and I get my vacation after all.

  • ArdorArdor Registered User regular
    We need to get one mobster by night 4. We have to have 2 mobsters by night 5, game ends on night 6 since I'm assuming when mobsters = villagers the villagers lose.

    Aroduc dropping out of the game gives us one less night to win, otherwise we would have to have 2 mobsters by night 6 and then we get one last night with 2 villagers and one mobster.

    This is provided that mobsters will always get 2 kills even if one remains.

    It's a simple game of chance, I don't mind rolling the dice once in a while instead of playing the game entirely in PM's.
