Image Mafia Game [SPEED GAME]
Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2016 7:49 pm
Hello, guys. This is my submission for my first game in the Syndicate.
The idea comes from the Economics mafia game. If you played or watched that game, you remember how G-Man posted in it. He basically never posted anything other than pictures. It was pretty funny (and ultimately made us lynch him). But it gave me the idea for this game, which only now I'm submitting. A game where every post must be composed of images only.
Here is how it works. For the purpose of this game, there are two possible types of images: regular images, and memes. Regular images are just a picture of something you found in the internet, which you use to say whatever you want. For example, a picture of a dragon, followed by a picture of a mafioso, to say you think Dragon D. Luffy is mafia. A regular image may have text, but only if the text was in the original picture, and it's not the only thing featured in the image.
Memes are different because they contain text. Basically any image that contains text overlapped into it, which was not contained in the original image, is a meme. For this game, I'm going to allow players to post as many regular images as they want. Hoever, each player will only be allowed a maximum of 3 memes per day/night cycle. Plus, for every sucessful mafia lynch that player takes part of, they will gain the usage of another 1 meme, to be used any time they want. Finally, there will be a limit of 30 words per meme.
I also intend to provide players with some sample memes, as well as a glossary of player and role related images, to make their lives easier. You are encouraged to use your creativity, as well as your google skills, to post though.
And that's pretty much the whole different thing about this game. Because this is my first game, and because I didn't find of a way of relating images with roles, I'm going to keep the roles simple. It is going to be similar to Bank Heists, except it's a Side Mission, so it will have more players, and more than 3 power roles. A few of the roles will be vanilla, though. Here is the proposed setup:
1 cop
1 doctor
1 vigilante (2-shot)
1 roleblocker
1 doublevoter
10 vanilla civilians
1 godfather (appears as civ on investigations)
1 mafia roleblocker
1 janitor (players killed by it have their roles hidden and only the mafia knows it)
1 mafia goon
1 serial killer (1-shot bulletproof)
Well, I'm open to suggestions and criticisms before I submit the game.
