Confrontation Mafia

By PolarBoy, with thanks to Cuban Smoker


As you walk down the street heading back home, you're pretty pleased with yourself. The hit went well, the townies suspect nothing, the Godfather will be pleased. You hear a footstep behind you. You quickly turn around, pointing your gun at the source of the sound. By his bearing, and the gun pointed at your own head, you know he's a mobster, but with whom? He might be a member of your own family, but you can't be sure in the dark. Do you fire?

Rules


Players recieve a PM informing them which mafia family they belong to. They may be from the same family, or from different families. The goal of the game is to correctly identify if the other player is friend or foe, while at the same time concealing your own identity from him.

It's good to fire at enemies. It's good to put the hammer down for friends. Conversely, it's bad to fire at friends, and bad to put the hammer down for enemies. If you do something good, and your opponent does something bad, you win, and your opponent loses. If you and your opponent both make the right decision, or both make the wrong decision, you tie.

Play proceeds by players discussing whether to fire or hold, and the game ends when both players have sent their decision to the mod. Once a decision is sent it cannot be retracted.

Past games

Game 1, mathcam(tails, fired) Vs. rite(heads, fired), Draw
Game 2, Kelvin(tails, fired) Vs. Someone(heads, fired), Draw
Game 3, mikehart(heads, trusted) Vs. Macros(heads, trusted), Draw
Game 4, mathcam(heads, trusted) Vs. Kelvin(tails, trusted), Draw
Game 5, Stewie(heads, fired) Vs. Someone(heads, trusted), Someone wins.

You have no idea whether I'm on your side or not!

PolarBoy, how do the game mechanics work? Do you declare a deadline when both he and I privately PM you, choosing to fire or not fire? Or does someone just post fir or not fire in the thread and then the other person has to respond.

I'd also like a little more info on the scoring. If he's on my team, and he fires at me and I don't fire at him, I gain, right?

Thanks,

Cam

Here's all possible situations, if I understand the game correctly (assume that players names are "A" and "B")

A and B are in the same mafia
  • -Neither player fires-- Draw
    -A fires, B doesn't-- B wins
    -B fires, A doesn't-- A wins
    -Both fire-- Draw
A and B are in different mafia
  • -Neither player fires-- Draw
    -A fires, B doesn't-- A wins
    -B fires, A doesn't-- B wins
    -Both fire-- Draw
Reminds me a bit of that show "Friend or Foe?" on Game Show Network... Is this right, PB?

Wow, what weird post-timing. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, with draws handed out in those two cases.

Okay, we'll start this out friendly. I'm a member of the tails mafia. If you too are tails, say so and I won't shoot you. If you don't say anything, I'm going to assume you are heads mafia and I will shoot you.

PB
: How/when do we officially shoot or not shoot?

"Tails Mafia," it says I am.

But, then again, I think you are lying.

I don't know. Should we wait for PB? We could just send him our choices? Or do we do it in-thread? It seems like it should be private...your decision could very well affect mine.

er...actually, how it works is, you can send your decision to me by PM anytime. When I recieve decisions from both players, the game ends. Which means you can't know if your opponent has made his decision until you make your own.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't entirely see the advantage of sending in your decision at an undisclosed time. The disadvantage is that games could draw on. Rite, I've sent mine in. You?

Done. This game has too many psychological levels, I'm hoping I estimated you correctly.

As you listen to the other mafia member talk to you, one thing becomes very clear; he is not a friend. You pull the trigger, the smartest thing you've done so far. It's such a waste of grey matter to have it spilled all over the pavement. Apparently he thought the same thing as you.

mathcam(tails) and rite(heads) fired at each other, tie game.

Next game is Kelvin Versus Someone. Roles going out.

Well then, Someone. I see no need to dance footlingly about until the light is spent. The message says I'm Tails. What are you?
