Mafia: general discussions. Auto-translated

And yes, in a role-playing mafia game, you can do that, but it would result in even more bizarre profiles. It's better to do it as Mika suggested. Besides, we had instances where we chose random things from the list instead of numbers, but it didn't seem to affect anything.
And then Koshe had a brilliant idea – to give a clue based on the number under which the player registered...

) This is a fact; with evidence based on bios for local drug addiction conditions, it will become too much.

I saw games where players specifically wrote quests of different sizes.

I agree, but I prefer it when a list of similar options is offered to choose from.

Well, this is only good for one time, but in general, there are many options to choose from, but it's still better to make them all of the same type.

well, in general, something like that
I'll post examples of hints from these games in the evening

Great idea. I would take it.

Revan, you were looking for an alternative to clues, what about an alternative to HeroesWorld traditions of writing clues?

The idea may not be bad, but I have some doubts regarding how it will be implemented. It needs to be seen in practice.

As I understand it, Kosha and Ment are planning to do exactly that.

You cannot vote for "No hangings." A player who does not vote in the thread is automatically considered to have voted against themselves. Highlight the vote with a tag.

I liked this rule.

Koshа 146% will do just that.

This rule certainly adds dynamics to the game, but IMHO it doesn't fit HeroesWorld's balance.

I liked this rule.

I didn't.;)

although... if we consider a tiebreaker successful only when "more than half of the players voted for one option" – then we can do without the No New Votes (NNV) rule. In that case, the chances of not hanging anyone on the first day remain the same as they are now.
On the other hand, NNV is usually helpful at the end of the game.

If I ever decide to create a Mafia-themed map, then yes, Sesame will be included.

I think that with the same level of evidence, the outcome will be the same as it is now.

A subtle hint works well in practice. Otherwise, we would return to profiles, but that's a stage that has long passed in the multiplayer. In fact, it's much more convenient; don't be afraid to try it.

As for the ban on non-narrative victories, we simply had a situation where there were too many of them. Even good games weren't being played, and even with a revealed hint)). It was roughly like my first game on your forum, where I was a healer; I was still quite a noob and a beginner (((( unfortunately, that's how it happened, but as far as I remember, there were a lot of non-narrative victories, and as a result, the good games won (a Lizardman, I think), although I don't really remember that game; it was just for show, and I think I asked to have it replaced. Basically, to combat endless non-narrative victories, they introduced the Game Master, who was terribly tired of the passive game)).

I'll get home and post some examples of hints, as promised.

Here's a fairly complex hint from the game of Guilds and Kings for Nirtok, whose quest was the song. 17. Nirtok (Woods of Ypres. I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery) (I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery) (the hint is highlighted in bold, followed by the Game Master's explanation in the log).

Friend follows friend,
Pikes and clubs go,
Clovers and hearts.
And this is, in my opinion, the most difficult hint in this game. In fact, it refers to Karatygin, who described the funeral of his acquaintance, a card player:
"Karatygin attended the funeral of a famous card player, a Cossack officer named S. When asked how he liked the funeral, Karatygin replied:
- It was magnificent. First, the Cossacks rode by with pikes, then the musicians with tambourines, then the clergy with crosses, then S. himself with hearts, followed by ladies, aces, jacks, and finally, twos, threes, and fours..."
Only Nirtok has a song about a funeral.
...
Here's a chain from the game of Fly, where Noname chose the singer John Fogerty.
Buddha, guitar

Buddha and Guitar is the musical group Nirvana. Nirvana -> musical genre - Grunge -> Mark Arm was something of a founder of grunge and was the vocalist of the band Green River. -> Green River is also a well-known song, which, surprisingly, was performed by John Fogerty.
....
A hint for Eugene, who chose Till Lindemann.
Baptism of Rus', Windows.

The Baptism of Rus' - 988. Windows Millennium, that is, 1000. In total, 1988. On August 28, 1988, during an air show at the Ramstein air base, several planes collided. I thought for a long time about how to encode 1988, and as a result, I came up with this crazy combination.
....
Here's one from Diablo, the game of Kuroneko.

A hint for lazycat, who chose Spear.

Sutter Cane was killed - The Shining of the Final Partnership
Jeleb killed Sarina with the fire of the hydra in Sarina's location. Since the antagonist runs to the monsters in the game, and not the monsters to him, I often described the killing of mobs as if it were an NPC who came to them. It was possible to guess.
Hint. The Final Partnership = the last alliance. The leader of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men of Middle-earth is Gil-Galad, whose name means "Shining Star." Gil-Galad's weapon was the spear Aeglos, "Snow Spike."
I tried to make the hints a little easier than usual. Lazycat guessed it himself this time.
......

The Disorder of the Nourishing One of Four
Aiden attacked Geralf with a grotesque. Geralf's passive ability, which blocks killings and counterattacks, activated. But Aiden is not blocked on even nights, so his killing goes through. And he himself should have died from the counterattack, because Noname chose ice, not a sword, and Aiden's defense was reduced by Endugu the night before, and he only had immunity to physical and poison. But Tiriel protected him from the ice. So, depending on the circumstances, there could have been two corpses or none, but there was one. The spider made a very unfortunate choice of victim for the second time.
Hint. The Nourishing One of Four is the four-legged goat Amalthea, who nursed Zeus on Crete. Disorder is the disorder of roads, paths, i.e., a labyrinth, also located on Crete. In the labyrinth lived the Minotaur, whose weapon is the Labrys axe. In principle, the Labrys is a symbol of Crete, and the weapon of Zeus /but only one of them/. The hint was collectively taken, both in the topic and in the mafia chat, but no one pushed it.
The hint was for

Axe, which was chosen by the player Spider.
...

The Semi-Blind Food of the Colorless

Hint. Colorless = gray. The food of the gray one is the food of the wolf. Semi-blind = one-eyed. This is about Odin, who is one-eyed and will be eaten by the wolf Fenrir on the day of Ragnarok. Odin's weapon is the spear Gungnir. Lazycat took the hint for himself again without any difficulty.

Spear (spear) lazycat

A hint for the player who chose the crossbow.

The Inventor of the Human Advocate

Hint. Human advocate = defender of people, which is how the name Alexander is translated from Greek. Inventor = inventor. An inventor associated with Alexander is Heron of Alexandria. He is considered the first to describe the crossbow.

they didn't even hang themselves, even after the hint was revealed)) it's roughly like my first game on your forum, where I was a healer.

Well, they didn't vote for Neyra because of the offer, Owen because of it didn't matter, and Shaman because I was the one suggesting candidates for the hanging. So they would have each received one vote for themselves, and what?:confused:

Although, no, they wouldn't even have received votes for themselves (except for Neyra), because they voted, but for others.
