ANNOUNCEMENT!

This just may be the Poll for M-FM XIX and M-FM XX!

There are so many good choices D: Avatar looks amazing with the cult-esque Freedom Fighters/Aang and evolving win conditions, Gates to Infinity looks fun too, Tarot has a very intriguing special mechanic, and Voodoo, of course, is a Cult game(my personal favorite). I'm torn between voting for Avatar and Tarot. I might vote Voodoo, but I very much dislike being personally bribed. It feels very under-the-table, even if everyone else is offering the same promise.

M-FM Tarot features the following:

- Role play written completely from scratch.
- Central game mechanic based on the reversal of Tarot cards. You will receive an initial role with one role card on it. However, if you meet certain conditions, then you will reverse the role, receiving an entirely new role card.
- Multiple roles on one role card.
- Voting for the setup gives you an auto sign.

MFM Voodoo is a MFM with 2 sided Cult against the Masons and the Town, with the neutrals thrown in the mix.
Remember if you vote for us, we promise you we will give you a slot in the game.
Thank you for your consideration.

The Golden Olympian Age features custom gameplay to enhance role play in the background setting of Olympus, the peak of all Olympian gods and it's occupants. With such simple mechanics and interesting special mechanics and more to be added, it's not going to be a boring 20 player game with ordinary roles. Vote for the Golden Olympian Age now to experience the power of a God consume you and where you control the God!

Of course, all of the people that vote for me and the people from my previously abandoned SFM The Startling will be promised a spot, so vote vote vote!

Guys. There is only one game that will have the outcome determined by if or if not cabbages do or do not come into play.

Also, literally every player in Gerik and I's has a chance to become a power role. So we've go that going for us which is nice.

(as well as the obvious inclusion of auto-spots for votes)

So much choice! I think the setup that is most popular and best planned deserves to win, not just the ones that promise voters a spot. The fact that bribing players is successful suggests there is a higher demand for spots in these games than there are spots being made available. The list of choices we have for who will host the next MFM game only goes to prove that the bottleneck is artificial. Something for Cryptonic and his compatriots to consider.

And in case the potential hosts were looking for any feedback I gave my reasons for choosing/not choosing your games:

• Avatar- the Last Air Bender: Book One: Looks very solid and I have no doubt you guys would deliver us a well enacted game. I don't know anything about Avatar though.
• Starcraft 2: Looks great. 3 clear factions. Plenty of Cits. Starcraft story never gets old to me either. Love it. My vote goes here.
• Golden Olympian Age: Lol your layout/colours weren't easy on the eyes, but I forced myself to read it. The setup actually looks quite simple and good. The RPey stuff seems a bit intrusive to me, but I don't go in for much RP so others might have different opinions. I mean you can do however much you want but it's also nice to be able to see very quickly and easily exactly what roles are and which roles are in the game and how many of each alignment there are.
• Gates to Infinity: The Town looks severely underpowered. They have 8/20 votes at the start of the game, and half of them are Citizens whose power is supposed to be in the vote, but they don't even have enough votes to lynch an opponent.
• Gladiator Arena: I really like the idea of factions being able to choose their own roles, but this game looks multiple faction heavy and I'm looking for something more black (scum) and white (Town) this time around. Call me old and boring.
• Tarot: I like your passion Porio and your keen-ness to break some new ground, but I'm looking for something more basic and standard this time around.
• Voodoo: Cool theme guys, but I have played too many Cult games lately.
• Serial Arsonfather: Though I trust you'd host a great game, Ika, this role put me off because it's so Night action OP that it makes roles that oppose it not much fun to play.

I hope Avatar or Starcraft 2 win, even though they are trailing. I hope players don't just vote for the game they think will give them a spot.

Even thought the Town looks underpowered in Gates to Infinity, this is exactly the reason why they'll take the least number of causalties. 8 votes total is enough for then to control majority with their Enforcer or Rebel allies. So the actual number of "town" roles would be 11/20 if you count in one of the allied factions. How's that to you?

Who else has a game with a Confirmed Town(in the form of a Marshall, Mayor, Mason Leader, or Dayshot Vigilante!) AND a Familiar, which has yet to be tested in an FM and is being considered for -Mafia- coding and testing????

[AppleyNO]

If you vote for me, I'll promise the same things as others did - plus you will be able to pick your own FM account name!

The tagline for the Gates to Infinity has been added:

Leaking R&D? Banned.

Leaking R&D? Banned.

I'm already banned from RandD, so I don't even know if its in there O.o

[AppleyNO]

Also, everyone copied me on this vote = confirmed spot thing. Be Original guys.

[Fragos]

I still believe that this community is large enough to have 2 M-FMs running at once. You'll see that I am right once this poll gathers more than 40 votes total.

[Slaol]

Also, everyone copied me on this vote = confirmed spot thing. Be Original guys.

You copied the unspoken rule and claimed it as your own.

[powerofdeath]

Shadow and I already planned this long ago, we aren't copying you, we are copying Cryptonic.

No, I copied Cryptonic. I was just the first one to use it in this thread. GG

[AppleyNO]

YOU EDITTING SCUM

[Damus_Graves]

Remember when voting for Setups didn't give you an auto in?

[Fragos]

Earlier on, I received a PM from powerof death asking me to vote for Voodoo. He mistakenly sent that message to me, saying that he tried to send it to a friend of his.

I'm just wondering, how many of you have received the following PM from powerofdeath?

Hello there, we noticed that you like to play forum mafia games and we were hoping you would vote for MFM Voodoo as our next MFM. Remember if you vote for us, we promise you we will give you a slot in the game.
Thank you for your consideration.

[Dagaen]

I received one.

I think we are suppose to choose the best one, not the one with most benefits.

[SuperJack]

I will not vote anyone who is trying to bribe. It's the wrong thing to do.

People should vote for the setup they like the most.

[Voss]

I will not vote anyone who is trying to bribe. It's the wrong thing to do.

People should vote for the setup they like the most.

What if you like a setup who's hosts are bribing? =P

[Dagaen]

After quick look at setups, Gates of Infinity works best for me:P

[SuperJack]

What if you like a setup who's hosts are bribing? =P

Then I say pick another. It's the host's falut for attempting to bribe.

How would you feel, if you was a different host that did not bribe, but you never get to host because of the other hosts bribeing.

[Fragos]

I thought he was aiming to send a PM to his "friend", but why would he confuse my name with someone else? And then I noticed higher number of votes on Voodoo than usual. That's why I decided to bring this up.

[Fragos]

Not sure about Ganondorf, but deathworlds, Kusco, Leonlol and sc2reboot are relatively new players to SC2 community. I wonder if they voted Voodoo because powerofdeath privately asked then to do that. Those people should at the very least reconsider their votes if they indeed received PM from powerofdeath.

I got 1 too. I think they just grabbed lists of players from the last FM or from recent sign-up lists and spammed us.

[Muso]

Vote 1. Starcraft

[Fragos]

Even thought the Town looks underpowered in Gates to Infinity, this is exactly the reason why they'll take the least number of causalties. 8 votes total is enough for then to control majority with their Enforcer or Rebel allies. So the actual number of "town" roles would be 11/20 if you count in one of the allied factions. How's that to you?

[Apocist]

I love AppleNo hosting, but Tarot for sure.

[Muso]

This Spambox thing looks really effective.

[Muso]

I really hope Voodoo doesn't win now lol because it is almost guaranteed you won't get a spot if it does.

[Hypersniper]

i vote for voodoo cause i like cult games
i got no stupid pm

[eliZa]

I hope I get a starting spot in the MFM since I rarely am given starting spots in games. I voted for the voodoo game because I was messaged that they would give me a spot. I think that is fair.

[Fragos]

You just pointed out the fact that they messaged you and that you voted then exactly because they messaged you.

Raptorblaze, is it ok to give an infraction to powerofdeath?

[Hypersniper]

lol dont he justs want to win he has not broke rules just bribe people and you will get votes

BTW i wasent bribed i just love cult

[Hypersniper]

but eliza you should vote on the one u like not cause he bribed u

[eliZa]

You just pointed out the fact that they messaged you and that you voted then exactly because they messaged you.

Yes. I rarely get starting spots in games but at least the MFM Voodoo hosts said I can get a spot in their message to me.

[eliZa]

but eliza you should vote on the one u like not cause he bribed u

I like the one I will be able to play the best.

[Fragos]

The problem is the everyone else promised the same thing in this topic, yet Voodoo received a vote because they reached to you first via PM.

[ypmagic]

i vote for voodoo cause i like cult games
i got no stupid pm

You know what PoD said in my FM? He said that long cult games were gay and that he was going to lurk for the rest of the game. look at him now, begging for votes for his long cult game.

[Hypersniper]

if it near end of poll i will change vote to highest

[ypmagic]

since my FM has no chance of winning because of his biased campaign, i'm switching to some other FM that actually has a chance of overpassing it later on.

[Nick]

Someone requested politely. So they got my vote.

[Hypersniper]

who requested you

[Nick]

who requested you

The game I voted.
