Forum Mafia XX Sign Up: Return to New Marais

[Elixir]

Did you really believe such a fairy tale ending?

A lone man, a lone medic no less, managed to survive the city wide battle agains the conduits? You know what conduits are right? Fucking superhumans. You think a medic triumped against superhumans to lead humanity into some golden age of peace?

I don't think you're that stupid; so let me tell you how it really went down...

Hi, I'm Elixir and I'll be hosting FM XX. Helping me will be Slaol and AppleyNO.

Why New Marais again?

Those of you who have been around for a while will probably know whenever I host a game I try to reinnovate what it means to play the game. I try to design something unique and fun that provides a gameplay experience that is enjoyed so much that it is reused.



FMII - My First Ever game, This was the first game to reward good (or sometimes bad) players with awards. Which has become a staple across all FMs
FMV - New Marais, This was the game that revolutionised futures FMs forever. It was the first FM to play with a non italian mafia theme which has never really been revisited, was the first to contain musical intros and storylined intros, was the first to try a timed related storyline role (more on this later), The first game to have secondary objectives related to rewards and was the only full FM in my recent memory to make it to last man standing.
FMXI - I attempted a one Mafia setup with effects that affected everyone that changed each night. While I didn't really execute this properly, future hosts took this concept of night events and did much better things with it.
M-FM X - I tried to merge the Mafia and Cult into one team where they had the option of playing as either depending on how the game unfolds.


As XX is a big number, I really wanted to revisit where this forums FMs truly began and to take what I've learned from the feedback I've gotten to make this awesome.

Also I guess it's a tribute to the PS4 launch and the new inFamous game to come in March.

I'll run a rules and other things FAQ in the coming days, as well as release the role cards etc.

While feedback from FMV was favourable, and people really did like the Beast and being timed as a pressure concept, it just flat out winning the game wasn't a good way to implement it. While the beast IS returning due to people liking it, I've redesigned it as a threat but not as a game ending threat.

The way the two mafia teams in this game are set up is like this:


http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i292/Whitetree/FMXX/MafiaGroupStyles_zps8d2fe80b.jpg


The Vermaak players get to pick their roles on an extended night 1 depending on how they want to play after discussing strategy with one another, wheras the Cole team will have their roles already publically known. -- The catch is if the Beast gets here, the Cole team will be presented with a choice that can strengthen their team in the late game in different ways; and may either help or hinder the other teams as well.

I'm not going to show you what that choice is.

Hamlet, this deed, for thine especial safety—
Which we do tender as we dearly grieve
For that which thou hast done—must send thee hence
With fiery quickness. Therefore prepare thyself.
The bark is ready and the wind at help,
Th' associates tend, and everything is bent
For England.

FM IV by Oops and Claw was non-Italian mafia themed. It was based on some Warcraft thing.

Can you put a FYI on when this is starting?

Is this the setup?

[Elixir]

Next week assuming sign ups happen I think we should be good to go.

I want to time it with the end of some of the mfm / s-fms going on so people arent over mafia'd in like 700 games.

Nah, thats the fm V stuff.

I'm working on the role card post now.

When can we expect the roles and mechanics to be public?

I ask because I don't want to have to scramble to read/remember/analyze everything the day before the game starts.

they do it way in advance. the rules and everything comes out in like a month advance for Q&A

there will be plenty of time to read the setup when elixer is done

well i have yet to play an exlixer game, but from what i have heard is elixer can make some of the best setups ever, they also were known to be ballenced (except one i heard of where cmg broke it)

i think there will be plenty of time for everyone to crunch out questions and stuff

I can edit timelines as need be. Assuming no complications the Role List and Q and A should be published like Monday my time (which I think is sunday yours). (Though it is my Birthday tomorrow so if I end up incapaciated this could take longer)

That plus he seems to know what he's doing/no historic FM's/know some players' playing styles

New Marais was legendary! So it's worthy to repeat this theme again!

I'm sure that One Piece will have a chance to be legendary in the future as well!

Many Gamer

[powerofdeath]

I feel very bad for your life.

I don't care. I am a PC gamer anyway. I feel that lion king theme would be better because anyone who was born in the 90s probably saw the Lion King and majority of the players are born in the 90s or late 80s.

Infamous only focus on 50% of the players, maybe less.

Edit: Not all PS3 players played infamous so I am assuming 1/3 of all of us played it.

A shame... I would rather lion king theme over this. Oh well.

At least read FMV. What a game. I hope I can be in a game like that.
