DEAR PEOPLE WHO LIKE MAFIA

man have I got a browser-based game for you

Town of Salem is an in-browser Mafia game complete with graphics and multiple mode! It works on the basis of usual mafia stuff. The village is around, everyone votes on who to lynch, people have roles, and you TRY TO WIN.

It's still in beta but it is very very fun

Games take like ten to fifteen minutes tops which is awesome

you can even customize your little guy if you want to!

I am JustBlais on there if you want to add me, sometimes the game does weird things with invites but you can DEFINITELY group up with people and join games as a whole if you wanna have some fun with your friends! It has a really good system for anonymizing who's who (ok it's not really a system you just set a name at the beginning of each game and nobody knows who has what name)

let's have fun time things

    Has anyone seen any Redeem codes for this game yet?

    A couple of the developers are currently doing a live stream on Twitch to get last day donations for their kickstarter.



    They're supposed to do some giveaways but all they have done so far is watch their server crash.

    My first game I was the Godfather.

    The first night my Mafioso died and then my Framer left the game.

    So, that was something.

    @Nirya not yet! It's five bucks to back their kick starter and get access when mobile is available though?

    I actually did pretty well, considering.

    I lasted until there were 4 people left. Two townsfolk, me and a serial killer.

    this has been my experience with the majority of my online mafia games, whether hanging out on epicmafia or doing something like starcraft 2 custom games

    can't trust the pubbies to stick around

  • T4CTT4CT BAFTA-NOMINATED NAFTA-APPROVEDRegistered User regular
    Even pubbies arent too bad for it since you get credit for the win if your side wins

    Sometimes you get unlucky and it makes roles like medium suck but more often than not its fun, and the deception of pubbies owns

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    what is the deal with veterans

    people keep dying to them but they aren't a listed role

  • EvilCakeEvilCake Richmond VARegistered User regular
    They are a town killing role that can go on alert 3 nights in a game, and ANYONE that visits them while on alert, dies. Unless they're healed >_>

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    that's not part of the list though

    are they a veteran and ALSO something else?

  • T4CTT4CT BAFTA-NOMINATED NAFTA-APPROVEDRegistered User regular
    Nope just a Veteran, they should be in the wiki

  • ChicoBlueChicoBlue Registered User regular
    Sometimes in the list of in-game roles there is Random Town and Town KILLING in the member list.

    So maybe the Veteran is listed as one of those.

  • T4CTT4CT BAFTA-NOMINATED NAFTA-APPROVEDRegistered User regular
    Yeah so basically if you're doing a custom game there's a bunch of ways to assign semi-random roles. Town killing includes jailor, veteran, and vig iirc

    Random Town means there's an extra townie who could be any town role

    The scariest is Any, because you have to be prepared for the possibility that they could be anything

  • FlarneFlarne Registered User regular
    I have been playing this way too much. Just classic so far though.

    It's fun as long as people aren't complete idiots.

    I just had a really fun run playing as an Executioner and then Jester for the first time.

    With some dumb luck I also managed kill the Godfather with my Jester haunt and all of the dead townsfolk were very happy.

    After playing most roles & getting the Achievements for winning with them, I have found that I actually am not a big fan of being the Serial Killer. I don't like the pressure of 14 other people (in Classic anyway) trying to always find you & take you out. Sometimes I just opt to not kill anyone in the night to try to throw people off of any sort of trail. Sometimes it works, if there's a Lookout watching people or whatever. Sometimes it just means more people alive to throw blame my way. You never can tell.

    I actually like Any All the most. It lets you play roles that you otherwise might not see. I have been playing for a couple of weeks now and have still never been an Arsonist or Mayor.

    I bought the Splat! death animation today. I'm happy with it. :-)

    Mayor is kind of boring. You rarely have the time to make use of the confirmed villager thing, game moves a bit too fast for real networking.

  • EvilCakeEvilCake Richmond VARegistered User regular
    The kickstarter reached 100k o_O

    also they added the apocalypse theme pack, and some new death animations :o

    Executioner is a pretty fun role and I've played it successfully 3 times now.

    I had one really great moment while playing the Godfather.

    My mafioso had been hanged, my Framer had been shot by a Veteran and there were just three people left: Me, a Medium, and that Veteran.

    The noose was around my neck and I was pleading with the Medium to believe that I was the Veteran. It was me who shot that Framer two nights ago. The other guy is the Godfather, he didn't even remember the name or role of the person he had shot. For godsakes, get me down from here. I have one alert left, I'm the Veteran. We will lose if you hang me.

    The Medium, completely confused but convinced, voted me innocent. I get down from the gallows and we vote up the Veteran, who roars and cusses and slurs until the tightening of the rope interrupts him. Whenever the chat lets me, I'm consoling the Medium, telling them that they did the right thing.

    That Medium was so god damn mad when the day ended and the two of us returned to our houses.

    In three turns as Lookout I managed to identify the SK and two of the mafia members and get them lynched, while the vig took care of the last one. Felt like a rockstar.
