Mafiagame on IRC

[ktulu-]

There are games being held on IRC in channel #mafiagame, EFnet server (irc.efnet.com). Most of the games have 7, 9, 11 or 13 players, with 2-3 mafia, one informant (who can find out roles of players) and one bodyguard (who can protect players at night).

The pace of the game is much closer to how it is played in real life, than the games here. I can certainly appreciate the slower paced games on the message boards, but you don't get that instantaneous reaction from players after a crucial point in the game that you can get in real-time.

For more information, go to http://userpages.umbc.edu/~aleks1/mafiarules.html .

To get on IRC, you can use this page: http://chat.efnet.info/irc.cgi or download mIRC, an IRC client, from http://mirc.com/get.html .

You'll notice a link at the bottom of the main page that links to the mafiascum AIM chat room. There are mafia games played there as well. It's cool that you have a bot running, though...some people on this site have been working on an AIM one too.

I came to the room and there were only 2 people in there. We have regularly 20+ in the channel.

You've got the wrong server address listed. It's irc.efnet.net

[ktulu]

Yes, thanks for correcting. Also, the best times for games are evenings,EST.

just need a couple more

[Talitha]

Wow! This channel is SO cool!!! It has this awesomest mafia bot that counts the votes and doesn't let you talk at night, etc.

Narninian and I had a game [7 players = 1 snitch, 4 civilians, 2 mafia.]

We won (town), eventually, after Narn and I tried unsuccessfully to lynch each other.

Very fun game.

[Narninian]

I agree- quite fun.

I think we need to get more scummers in there, and get some of those players onto mafiscum (Tech would be a great scummer I think)

[Mastermind of Sin]

omw, time to liven the place up!!!

[Coron]

Does this mean I can play a game on aim and IRC at the same time?! *dances*

[Mastermind of Sin]

whoops...i got banned...stupid pricks...can't take a joke...

[Narninian]

What'd you do?

Did you break their 'excessive stupidity' rule? ( I found that one quite amusing)

[ktulu]

Mastermind of Sin played as two players, obviously knowing the roles of both players. This is one of the most blatant things you can do to mess up the game. Since he obviously did this intentionally, he is banned. This may have been a joke to you, MoS, but it wasn't funny to the other players who invested time in that game just to be cheated.

[mathcam]

MoS, that's pretty uncool. *waves finger at MoS beratingly*

Just for the record, that's pretty unusual.

Played a couple more games - in the past I havnt had much with player skill in chat rooms apart from mafiascummers - I must say - this room is in an exception. There are certainly varying levels of experience there, but they play quite well.

whoops...i got banned...stupid pricks...can't take a joke...

Dude, seriously...excessive stupidity is one thing, but multi-playing? That's a bannable offense on MOST online games. If true, I've got no sympathy for you...and I'll be wary of playing with you here...

[Narninian]

oo - they're playing their first dethy game right now. Lets see how it goes.

[Tally]

Oh - they're so totally clueless. THis is painful to watch.

[jeep]

Played multiple accounts? I'd consider banning you here if I found out about it here!

-JEEP

[ktulu]

I played in two games - one where I didn't know the rules (how many cops there were, what kinds of cops, etc), and one where I did. Even though I got killed the first day in the second game (because no one saw me the first night), it was a funner game than the first one. The first game was pretty frustrating because we had no clue what the game was about.

It's a fun variant though. A lot less acting-dependant, and almost pure deduction.

[Narninian]

I must admit - You guys did pretty well for the first game. Especially considering, you guys never played with secret role setups and havnt dealt with cops with sanity levels other than sane.

I forget who the name was - but I over heard somebody 'quitting #mafia game forever' because of the lying OPS(mods). I think she said she was gonna quit and flee to mafiascum.net which I found quite funny.

<Raven[UB]> this IS an IRC CHAT. ROOM.
<Raven[UB]> which happens to play mafia every now and again.
<Raven[UB]> you scummers continue to come in here assuming all we are good for is playing mafia.
<Raven[UB]> that is not the case.

Just a headsup, i think we may be offending some residents.

[Narninian]

some residents dont like any sort of changes -(change in setups, anyone with a different playstyle, etc...)

A lot of them like the inflow though.. a majority I'd say, but there is a few bitter ones.
