The first time it was implemented it wasn't even a role it was a prize awarded to Typhoony? in a Recruitment it was an addition to his role. I think anyways. It's been a long frigging time.

I also very much enjoyed the positions in Recruitment 4. Also recruitment in itself. Who doesn't like to get recruited.

An old friend did a choose your own role mafia way back on The Piano. LC made a ridiculous role where he couldn't die or something.
If I were bad, I would just guess systematically people were hungered to get them killed.

I've never been bad in an LC/BR game though. :noble:
That is so true. I wonder why that is?

If you just kept guessing like that I would not count it. :P
I'm always recruited early to the civilians. DH himself said "So I don't have to bother lynching you."

I'll take it, I guess.

Re: What is your favorite Mafia Game Mechanic and Why?

I loved Zodac in Masters of the Universe Mafia, the first game I ever hosted.

Zodac was a last man standing who could force ties in a lynch. He would target two people at Night, and the next Day, they would receive the mean of the votes they had taken. Zodac also would choose who would be lynched in the event of a tie, and that lynch would happen at Night (to give Zodac time to choose the victim).

timmer forced a lot of ties by predicting who would get lynched the next Day, and would frequently switch the lynch to an unsuspecting person.

Needless to say, I pissed off a lot of my players. :blush:

timmer would go on to endgame, him versus a sole civilian, and would end up losing because that civilian had won what should have been an insignificant prize Day 0 (a permanent +1 vote). :faint:

That game lasted 22 phases. :phew:

Re: What is your favorite Mafia Game Mechanic and Why?

I created a role for Roger Rabbit that Long Con says belongs in the category of standard Mafia roles, and used it in his A World Reborn game. That was the greatest compliment he ever gave me, and one that made me feel great as a host of many games. The mechanic takes time and thought to develop, but it becomes a perfect amalgamation of an info role, civilian-friendly role, chaos role, liability role, whatever you want it to be.

Long Con dubbed it "The Bartender." :martini:

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Mafia, Dolores was a bartender, and she could serve a drink to any player at Night. The result of the drink was unique to the role she served. If she served Roger Rabbit, he could only post in pictures of whistles (thus Dolores would know who Roger was). If she served Benny the Cab, he would crash and die (thus killing a fellow civilian). If she served a Weasel (mafia), that player began the day with 2 votes. And so on and so forth. Fun stuff. :beer:
