	Mafia XXV: Castle Dracula: Sign Ups Get a bigger avatar today!

There will be a story to this one.

Deep inside Trannsylvannia lives a Vampire. He is known simply as Dracula. However for many years now the castle has been empty. Dracula has been on the prowl. Years ago he discovered the art of day walking and thus is able to blend into the populace of the citizens.

Therefore the villagers of the village beneath Castle Dracula live in a perpetual state of fear. Garlic is useless, Crucifixes are doing no harm to this daemon and indeed his able to attack with impunity.



Sign Ups are required as of now! I will be accepting as many players who wish to join in the next few days (propbably looking for a Monday morning start (my time is GMT +10 you work it out). There will be one vampire, the rest of you will be the villargers. As per normal sheep Mafia's if the mafia/vampire is caught in the first three rounds a new one will be secretly nominated.

VOTE CHANGING WILL BE ALLOWED HOWEVER I WILL TAKE THE FIRST VOTE POST OF EVERY PLAYER, THUS YOU NEED TO EDIT THAT POST TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE

Voting rounds will last 48 hours thus and I expect those who are intrested to help me with ideas and **** for the executions and other ****.

then try and tell me it isn't the finest mafia game ever written at 'poly, and think again whether or not you want to do the Dracula theme. It's a hell of a lot to live up to.....



I'll play, like.

As much as I'd love this theme, I'll pass. I will say that instead of making the first three rounds pointless (since even if you guess correctly, a new mafia simply arises), why not just go with two mafia? It's quite unlikely both mafia will die within the first 3 rounds, and if they do, well, good for the villagers.

That is standard operating procedure for this game, if the mafia is killed in the first 2 rounds another is chosen. But, the village doesn't know that they habe killed a mafia.

I was one of two mafia one game, and the first one killed me in round 1.

ACK!

Hey- whatever works for you. I personally hated most of the way the NESs worked in the S&D and their earlier predecessors, but I just stayed out of 'em when I realized that some people liked it that way. I've got no problem with Sheep running some Mafia games, I'm just saying they're not for me.

The reason I'm not a fan of the replacement Mafia is twofold, though (and again, if you want to keep it, go ahead). First off, the clues from round 1 & 2 won't apply, which can be unintentionally frustrating. This doesn't apply, of course, if the GM informs- even subtly- that the villagers killed a Mafia. There should at least be some clue in the possessions, diaries, whatever of the deceased to clue people in that they killed a Mafia, and those earlier clues are worthless.

Secondly, there's, well, the pointlessness issue I brought up. I like to think that, as a villager, I am trying to do things a little bit better than a drunken lynch mob. If you are clever and figure out the clues and come up with good guesses in the first three rounds... your work is for naught. Why not just pick people randomly and have a popularity contest? There's no point in even trying to get the right person, since there'll be the same number of Mafia afterwards anyway. In fact, if anything, you don't want to kill the Mafia, so you'll have more clues all on the same person.

If every time your warehouse burns down, someone rebuilds it for free, you have little incentive to install smoke detectors. This is the same thing in reverse- if the warehouse burns down no matter how many guards you stick on it and how nice a security system you have, well, why bother even trying? Just let the arsonists on in.
