Mr-Paul Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Houses of Parliament Mafia Prologue It was a fine September day and the House of Commons was welcoming back its members for the first day of the new parliamentary term after the summer break. Everyone was preparing for the state opening of parliament and a long day of debate over what policies the coalition would be pushing over the next year. Would they be raising tax again in an attempt to reduce the deficit? Would the retirement age rise even further? The members filled the house, ready for the session to be opened by the Speaker. But there was one notable member missing… FEATURES Leader of the House - Each day one player will be elected as Leader of the House, giving them extra power. First Past the Post Voting - All voting will be done under a most votes wins principle, as introduced by Rummy and Marcamillian in their game. Newspaper style write ups! Lies, slander, and treachery! Looking for at least 16 players. Won't start for a week and a half/two weeks/when Peepsville Mafia finishes. Whatever comes latest. So who's in? Players: -Tales -Yvonne -Diageo -The Peeps -Nintendohnut -EEVILMURRAY -Cube -Marcamillian -Jimbob -DuD -Dannyboy-the-Dane -Rummy -gmac -Aqui1a -Sheikah -Dazz -The fish Edited June 25, 2012 by Mr-Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Paul Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Very good turnout so far, thank you! Need a couple more for it to be how I have planned, get in on it @Dazz And if you are on a mafia break, this game won't be a for a week or two, so you can end your break with my game :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'll play. Never played Mafia before, so why not? I've had a quick read around to get the rules. One question though, what bonuses does the elected leader typically have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 "A couple of weeks", you say? "No real knowledge needed"?...Okay then, put me down, I know you're all missing me anyway, hahaha! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question though, what bonuses does the elected leader typically have? Awesome! Can be a range of things down to the gamemaster's choice, typically it's an extra power/can target two people/kill immunity/double vote/lynch veto. Haven't fully decided what I am going to be using yet, but am keeping it a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Can somebody explain that First Past the Post thing a little more? I thought Mafia was done under a 'most votes' basis anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
