Has anyone played this before? If so, does it work? What is the effective maximum number of players? What roles work well, what roles don't work?

Thanks!

Been done on AIM. More than 10 and you have no chance to keep up.

So how did the smaller games go? Were they fun? I like immediate gratification. The games on the boards are way too slow for me...

I voted no because I've been working on AIM bot program that will moderate mafia games for almost a week now, so it would suck if we all decided we wanted to use IRC to play mafia instead.

Hy had one mafia bot set up.
The 5 player games were fun, especially when the mod did something insane like 5 insane cops or an all-insane town. It's not the same game as mafia, but it's also fun.

Hy's mafia bot has some bugs, and he's stopped working on it since he has a life now. Bah at him.

Hmmm, well, at brunchma we've started irc mafia games. The smallest it apparently works well with is about six players, only one mafia, no other special roles, and it is fun.

We like irc because we have our own server. And no, I'm not going to tell you where it is.

I'm just considering putting together a 15-person irc game with lotsa fun roles, and wanted to figure out 1. if it would work and 2. if anyone from here might be interested in playing.

That is all.

I definitely like the idea.
I was going to say that I don't think it works with a cop, but that's probably because she came out and said I was mafia, and got my lynched. But I'm sure a cop can be good in a smallish mafia game, and the game seemed to work pretty well with nine people (two mafiosi, two masons, a cop, and possibly a protector), but not perfectly. We ended up with three mafia wins and one town win in the games I played, which seems to favour the mafia. Then again, it usually came about because of someone being more swayed by a mafioso's pleas than a fellow townsperson's, so maybe it was just skill or lack of it on the part of the players which made the mafia win so often.

Why don't you wrap the I/O? It shouldn't be too hard to modularize it so that it will run on either IRC or AIM. I'm sure there are perl modules that will handle the IRC 'protocol' stuff for you also. You shouldn't trust the livelyhood of your program to that bulging mass of indecisive, unprofitable, gellatinous goo that is AOL/TimeWarner. :-)

Chat Mafia works fine if you have a sufficiently insane moderator. I think I managed a game with 14 before on AIM (much more than that and you can't tell what you're doing because of all the windows open. :) ) I'll have to stop in to see what the brunchers are doing with it.

after playing irc mafia, i've come to the conclusion that it's too confusing...every two seconds, you have to vhange your nick name..which is fun at first, but then gets old, and stupid after a vew nights...
and i believe it was mole, who tried to kill me...that made me sad...well, not really...but oh so very hurt:p
besides the supposed to have died in the first night-thing, and the couldn't type fast to keep up with the nick name changes-thing, it was still, all in all confusing...

the one thingk that i really liked, though, was that the people who dies could write thier own death scene...i thought thst was lots of fun! maybe we could try to have a brunch-style game here...not on aim, but here in general...i'd like to participate where they can't reveal thier roles and the dead cna talk ...it's be a nice change of pace....sorry i got off topic...but i still think it would be fun.

change your nicknames?
WHY
we manage on aim without changing our names, why would you need to change your nick?
