Planning on running a 17-Player Large Theme based on Eragon this winter. Before I spend too much time on it, who'd want to play?
I'm back, sort of. Not a lot of free time to play, but I'm planning to be modding some mish mash and stuff this winter.

Eragon Mafia, a 17-Player Large Theme, will be coming to the large theme queue soon(ish) if all goes well. If you're interested, PM me to pre-in.

I would likely make myself play. Based on the whole series or just the first book?

First book--motives change too much for the whole series to work right.

Spoiler: Eragon
Well the main villain stays the same the whole way through. You could have Eragon's brother as a traitor. I'm honestly having trouble remembering other main villains but I think there was that strange non human thing that first appeared in the first book that could work.
For good characters there's enough for a 17 player game.

Spoiler: Eragon
Roran as a traitor? Why? If I remember right he stays good throughout...
EDIT: Sorry about that.

Spoiler: Eragon
Other brother. His half brother, Murtagh is the one I meant. Although he's a good example of a strange motivation with how he changes from start to end.

No, whether you were sarcastic or not doesn't really matter - those are spoilers one way or another, so they need to get spoiler'd.

It's been a year since the last book was released. People are no longer allowed to bitch about spoilers on the Inheritance Cycle.

If this were a thread about the Inheritance Cycle, I'd agree with you; but this is Theme Test Market. People don't KNOW they're going to come across spoilers right away.

You know... For all the LoL players on this site, no Mafia game has been run with that as a theme.

I think drmyshottyizsik ran one, but I think it may have been abandoned and possibly lost in the crash.

Like we said, no game has ever been run.

I'd probably play an Eragon game. Hate on the books if you want, but there're lots of good characters for a mafia game.
I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.

Two ideas I've been thinking about, as an extension of the Executioner/King mechanic:

Council
(Mini or Large Theme)


Town elects two people to serve on the council, scum selects one. The council meets and decides about the lynch.

Proportional Representation
(Large Theme)


This is a bit more complicated, but here is how it would go down:

Candidacy phase


This would be the main Day phase. In this phase, parties form. A party forms by an application of at least three players. Players can join parties if the majority of the party approves of them and can leave parties by simple declaration. Parties have a QT where all party members can talk at any time.

Alternatively, players can choose to run as an independent, or endorse a party or independent either publicly or non-publicly.

After all players have either joined a party or sent in their choice to run or endorse (or when deadline hits), the candidacy phase is closed.

Distribution of the seats


A parliament with a small number of players is formed by the D'Hondt method (with random selections if necessary). The number of votes for a party or independent is the sum of the number of members and the number of endorsements. Seats that go to a party go to random party members; if a party would get more seats than the number of members (or an independent would get more than one seat), the seat is filled by the next party (or left empty if no other possibility).

Decision phase


The parliament now gets to decide on everything by a simple vote: player(s) getting killed, but also all other town actions.

The part where I'm unsure of how is how parliamentary meetings would go down. This could be completely open (in-thread, everybody can talk but only MPs can vote) to completely closed (QT) to something in-between (in-thread but only MPs can talk).

What do you think, and was this ever run before?
