Team Mafia

[BrianMcQueso]

Three (two?) players on a team all play under one account. Group posts, votes, and uses night actions as though they were one player. Teammates may discuss amongst themselves privately at all times. Game setup would be a relatively standardized twelve-account game (maybe more, but that might get out of hand?)

I'm sure a similar idea has been done somewhere before, I'd just like to try it with different people all posting on the same account.

Pros:
*Teams would be responsible for finding their own replacements. Useful for lazy moderator (me).
*Game will remain active, as it only takes one active player per team for that account to be fairly represented.
*A reasonable way for me to carry out a 30+ player game without it being ridiculous.
*Three minds going into one vote, more thought process, less stupid posts.

Cons:
*Teams dissenting amongst themselves. Might need to implement rule so two people on a team don't change their vote back and forth. Teammates disagreeing with each other is the biggest issue I see for this game.
*Mafia would be made up of 2-3 accounts, which is 6-9 people. That's a lot of people all talking with each other over one nightkill. Especially difficult without CC private message function. May need to create separate private forum (I would handle this myself) for mafia to discuss.
*Unoriginal game name. Also, I refuse to name it Two-Headed Giant Mafia, despite MTG obsession.

Other thought: Keep team rosters public or private? Public has obvious benefits and people could clarify who is posting when an account posts, but private opens up interesting strategic play and possible creative role design.

BMQ demands helpful feedback and suggestions, as well as free money.

You would sign up as a team. This was my biggest inspiration for this game, being able to play with your MafiaScum buddies, and knowing you're on the same side.

EDIT: I are horrible at grammars.

I agree, Flay. Is there a way we can get this thing locked, or something?

Any comments or suggestions about Team Mafia can be PMed to me.
