Guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 well 21 people would be perfect... 7 baddies and 14 Innocents so let's break out the role ideas again ;D I'm not sure about the balance, but some people were interested in a Bodyguard character, so I was thinking he/she could have an ability something like this: * Can choose to protect someone during the night, but not two nights in a row and if the person is attacked, there is a chance the Bodyguard will foil the murder, a chance that he/she will die protecting the other person and a chance that he/she will kill the attacker instead. (Though, come to think of it, that sounds sort of like an offensive bomb character. ) One possible twist that I thought of would be that he/she chooses a person to protect during the day (so he/she would PM the host three choices in preferred order and then the host would announce that the Bodyguard is protecting the top choice that is still alive after the lynching during the day, but in addition to the rules * above, he can't choose to protect the same person twice (like the thief .) This would essentially give one character bomb status for a night and everyone will know, so attack at your own risk. Again, I'm not sure how that would balance in the game, but some people seem excited about some sort of bodyguard and I thought of this, so I decided to share.

Guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 the game hasnt started yet so I guess moving some roles wont be much of a problem.. and dnae is an old player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreality Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 dawh: we already had a similar idea, see Bodyguard from before, but your idea has 3 options, not 2, which is better, so we'd go with yours (1/3 save, 1/3 die in place of, 1/3 kill attacker)... however we have enough saving roles, I think. Not sure yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreality Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 btw I just need Lucifer and tman so I'll add dnae to the list and then edit the rules some ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unreality Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 no it's fine ;D I'm thinking of another role right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 What about a transformation role like an exorcist of the GR or something. You could also have a town drunk that see's things at night about the mafia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Or you can have a masked charachter depending on what night they kill or another night they save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreality Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Since Oasis is a trading city, I was actually thinking of something like 'the Merchant', still thinking as to the ability though (possibly a neutral character that sells to either side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 What would they sell?? Like a health potion to the mafia, which can only be purchased by the bankroller?? NOt to involve items or money too much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unreality Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 the 14th Innocent role will be the Bodyguard. They can choose one person (not themself, but they can do 2x in a row, but not 3x) to protect. If someone comes to kill that person, there's 3 equally likely outcomes: * Bodyguard dies to defend the charge * Bodyguard protects the charge from dying * Bodyguard kills the would-be-killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone comes to kill that person, there's 3 equally likely outcomes: * Bodyguard dies to defend the charge * Bodyguard protects the charge from dying * Bodyguard kills the would-be-killer the second outcome looks better..the third one wud be a bit similar to bomb...just my thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreality Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I just need a few more replies (I shuffled some of the roles, and then I still need replies from tman and Lucifer!) then we can start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itachi-san Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Can everyone make an effort to consolidate their posts on this topic please? If you thought Mafia II was difficult to scroll through, just look at this topic so far... there's going to be way too many posts if we keep posting one word/one sentence replies. Most of this topic so far could have been discussed with unreality in PMs. If you want to say something not in-game related, post it in the Mafia III Signup thread. I thought/was hoping that this thread would only be the game... alas, my hopes have been dashed <_< -this is nothing personal against anyone. a cleaner thread would benefit everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreality Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 undash your hopes ;D we'll make it cleaner btw, all I need now is dnae, but I'll repost the new (and final) rules right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
