Monster MMORPG Game Official Forum

here we discuss specifics about how to play certain roles, what aspects of the game are most important, how to play a certain phase of the game, or for general questions about whether something is antitown or not.
Mafia General terms and acronyms.
Wifom-Wine in Front of Me-best exemplified by this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzaL8wiSjnM it's a game of "I know you did this, but you know that I know so You did that, but I know that so the actual answer is this, which isn't right because you did blah blah blah etc"
Softclaiming Hinting at a role without outrighting stating it. EG" i can protect"-hints at doc/protective, but doesn't outright say it.
Breadcrumbing Leaving hints in a post that you are a certain role/character. EG-Don't. Or else they'll lynch him. Can't count on ryker to save you every time." The capital letters spell out DOC aka doctor.
Hammer-The final vote on a lynch. If it takes 5 to lynch, the fifth vote is referred to as hammer. aka "someone hammer him"
[Mostly]Common Roles

play everything as if you are a townie...makes thinking so much easier...

it also helps you to avoid pressure as scum.
what should our initial topic be?
RVS?A certain Role? the use of meta in a game?

you'd think with a mafia game going people would be all over this place asking questions....but no...

C'mon guys, this can only help all of you.
lets open with a discussion on massclaiming then. when to use it, nbenefits, etc.

I'd love to hear about roleclaiming *and for the other players to see it as well*

roleclaiming or massclaiming?

massclaiming...thats what Ive been trying to get going but I apparently have failed miserably...could we just link a page on it from the mafiawiki and start from there?

Lol. roleclaiming is individual, massclaim is everyone alive.

yeah found that out pretty quickly *didnt know there was a specific name for it before now*

so anything you want to know about it?

not really...I shouldn't waste your time...although thanks for tuning me in to its proper name and the different kind of massclaims (popcorn, and speak now being my favorites)

umm..you're welcome.

How should you play mafia (even though i was mafia once, i don't think i did it right)

as a goon? PLay as a townie. scumhunt, but make townies look like scum and get a mislynch. use your NK effective, don't take out power players who would have a doc protect on them but take out the small guys to help you wincon. thats the basics

I like it when I win.

so I suppose it would be helpful for our ragtag group of mafia degenerates if I started by talking about setup balancing and different roles eh?

list of common mafia terms+ definitions would be a nice sight in the op

I'll get crackin at it!

also just found this...and so far it's a very good read...

I might link the general mafia theory thread form dgames. I still wanna go about setup talk so I'm not the only host here
Nice thread about indys https://smashboards.com/threads/325866/

What is the proper way to play a jailer?
a vig?
etc

Jailer, depends on the  situation. I'd use it as  a protective mainly, but there are situations when you could use it as a roleblock. You're on your own as a VIG. shoot inactives or scummy people.

What do you guys do considering Lynch all Liars?

personally, it depends on the context. If they've got a good reason for doing it, then I can let it slide.

bump for nitsua

AHA! It's the game which actually promotes using WIFOM's! Brilliant.

Anyways, I have read/ heard about Mafia but never actually played it. This sounds really interesting. Looking forward to [if] we actually end up doing this in these forums

I have. Couple threads set up for this and run it in chat every so often. Look for a marathon mafiathread in the roleplaying board.

C'mon guys, this can only help all of you.
