Mafia Tournament

[jak111]

That's right. A mafia tournament. I seen this somewhere below or back a few pages but it seriously has seemed to die off for an idea.

This mafia tournament will have the following set up if it's approved.

24 people to start it off.

After the first game 6 of these are eliminated with one method or another.

Now 18 remain. They will be broken up into two games of 9.

4 will be eliminated from each of these games.

Now only 10 remain.

They have one final mafia game and the winner(s) take all, if town/mafia win, only the survivors get the win.


Now.. I'd need help with setting up how people win/lose up until the 10 remain. If there are any suggestions, they would be appreciated. This tournament would need 3 mods. 1 hosts the first game, 2 host the 2nd set of games, and all 3 host the final game.

This... if approved, I hope we can make it into an OFFICIAL Mafia Game Tournament. However, I think we'd need support and help from the actual forum mods to get this set up properly.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Maybe some type of gimmick? 24 people are trapped somewhere and forced to play a deadly game. For the first round of said game, only eighteen will survive and proceed to round two. And these eighteen are chosen or those six are eliminated through some unique thing with a certain deadline? Maybe, like, a series or puzzles? I once played a Mafia game where we had to solve puzzles to get our roles. Maybe solving all the puzzles provided leads to some keyword that enables the player to escape the first level and move on?

I am interested in modding or playing.

What about this?

say you have 24 players, they get randomly split into two groups of 12.

Each group plays an identical 12 player open setup. then maybe each player is awarded points based on their play.
NK = 1pt
Doc save = 1pt
block a kill = 1 pt
lynch scum = 1 pt for each townie
lynch town = 1 pt for each mafia

or even just award points based on who wins. repeat for a couple more rounds and the person with the most points wins?

It first I was nodding along, but really when it comes down to it, winning is all. Doing well means nothing if you fail in the end.

also, unless town gets very lucky, there are going to be many more scum-points earned than town ones. which means that people like me that get a lot of scum roles auto-win.

i think it should be 10 games or something, played 2 at a time or something. fixed open set-up in each game. the person with the highest win % as each allignments wins.

[Iron Butterfly]

I will most certainly play.

one possible set-up for this would be 20 players. each player is assigned 8 games (which are played 4 at a time). at the end of the 8 games, the top 10 people (still need to decide how we determine that too) advance to the next round, and play 4 games, 2 at a time. then the top players can be determined.

I think the top players should be voted on by the players. Mods can definitely input opinions, but a consensus top players can be culled from the games.

Yah, the players/mods will know who contributed and who just rode along for the win. But how to quantify? Players/mods vote top 3? Top 5?

[jak111]

I was thinking something like the survivors (if there's less than 4) for sure go on. If there's more than 4 survivors at least 3 of the picked MUST be survivors (Otherwise what's the point of winning eh?)

Then most of the rest is picked by fellow players.

Finally there are 2-3 reserved spots that only the mod can choose (they will know who was what and how hard they've tried or succeeded).

The only reason I want this to be diverse in how the contestants move on is because I do not want this to become a popularity contest (Let's face it, I'd win that hands down ).

Saf seems good with balance + he is an entertainment mod, so I was thinking of asking him to step up to be one of the mods/judges for the tourny.

I was thinking of trying to help out, but I fear that I may not have the time to dedicate to this AND Halo (+ the story mafia coming up at the turn of 2013).

But seriously. How shall we get the mods and judges for the tourny? Votes? Elections?

Right now the two of three that I think would be good are

/, for his randomness of games that let people go into a different play style.

Saf, for his balance, pretty much any game he mods or any games he helped balance seem to have turned out good in balancing wise.

For me, the 3rd spot would be open to picks.

But anyone else have ideas?
