Hi everyone!
Since I've been back from my hiatus for some time now, I would like to once again try presenting round two of my trivia-themed mafia games, this time with the category being Music!
Before you sign up, I should explain a little bit about how this game works. For the most part, this game will not reveal alignments upon death. There are many abilities that revolve around alignment hints/reveals of some kind. Additionally, there are certain abilities that may allow dead players to rejoin the game. Because of this, there will also be no graveyard chat.
This game will have 2 factions: town, and mafia. There may or may not be one indep, depending on the number of players that sign up. Town wincon will be to eliminate all threats; mafia wincon will be parity; indep wincon, should it exist, will be last man standing.
While this game does differ in many ways from standard mafia setups (with rotating abilities, no reveals, and revival potential), I don't consider it bastard. Just know that there may be certain elements that could be subjectively considered bastard. I am outlining this for transparency's sake.
Now, let me explain a little bit about the trivia mechanic. In my previous game, Canadian Mafia 2, questions were posted in real time within the thread and answered on a first-come-first-serve basis. This locked some players out from ever answering questions. To alleviate this issue, each player will receive an undetermined number of questions once the game starts (depending on the number of players). The difficulty of the question determines the strength of abilities that can be received. I've tried my hardest to balance the question difficulty as much as possible. Each player will be able to receive a maximum of 3 abilities throughout the game (you can answer as many questions as you want, for fun, but only the first three will get you an ability). Additionally, only one ability may be received each day. For any clarification on this mechanic, please ask me! Additionally, I would like NO GOOGLING (or looking up answers of any kind); if you must google an answer, let me know, you will still be able to receive a "weaker" variant of whatever ability that question was tied to. I am operating under the assumption that every player respects the integrity of the game enough to be honest about this. Wrong answers will count towards your 3-answer total but you will lose whatever ability that question was tied to.
I am hoping that the changes I have made to the trivia mechanic will help make the game more fair and balanced for everyone.
I am not looking for any specific number of players, but somewhere between 8 and 15 would be ideal. I can realistically run this with any number though (more than 15 and I'd have to write more questions so I'm capping it there). I'll keep sign-ups open for up to a week after Storm's game ends, unless the cap is hit before that, and start with the number of players that have signed up by then.
ONE LAST THING! This will be a choose your character game. After you sign up, I will send you a PM asking who you would like to play as. This has no effect on the game itself and is purely for flavour.
