Mafia Returns? - Page 2 - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

I'd be willing to help prevent cheating. Maybe have a Mafia Mod who just looked over possible cheating. Would it help if I offered myself to try to get this game up and running so that cheating would not take place?

Garfieldo and Jack I were the Mafia Mods. I thank Davy for thinking I might be worthy of such task, but no. I want to play.

I agree with my Star Trek friend, on the whole cheating thing. The thing that affected the game was PM's and Outside of POF communication. In fact I'd be OK with PM blockage if there is such a thing and temporary deletion of that contact info.

If the mods do decide to bring back Mafia, then count me in! On a side note does anyone remember who played the very first game of Mafia on POF? I know I was there, but who else played?

I don't know. I was in Round 2 and 3.

I, unfortunately, never got the chance to participate in Mafia, but it did always seem like a fun event. It is unfortunate that some people had to cheat in order to try and get somewhere, but I'm almost positive that we would be able to rework the game in order to prevent any sort of tipping off (aside from blocking PMs - that could be a major problem for urgent means of communication between pirates.)

If it does come to the day where people are needed to help run the Mafia, I would be more than glad to put my talents to use. But, otherwise.... well, let's just say I've seen Goodfellas way too many times to be trusted. Watch yer back, kiddos

Ironmalley!

I am sorry, I have been calling you Ironbones... Which makes me question where I got that from.

You did an awesome job last time around. It was in no way shape or from your fault. The ending was shaky. I wasn't to happy about the Turtle. I don't want to know where that idea came from.

Toby is the magical sea turtle that we hide away on between Mafia and Mod Hunts. You cannot discover a moving uncharted sea turtle the way you can a stationary uncharted island.

I, too, wish we had the chance to play Mafia again. It's such a wonderful game, and I'm pretty sure these members can understand cheating will make a game such as this go away forever.

So, is this game going to come back? It looks quite fun and I have played it before in real life. (just with mafia and a detective) Maybe we could have a vote on who would be the third Mafia Mod, aye?

As we've previously stated, that would be up to the administration and moderation staff whether or not we return, on the basis of if we can allow for a new set of rules that is virtually fool-proof. There will be loopholes, there are always loopholes, but we would hope to have as few as possible and expect them to not be exploited. Those who did attempt to exploit them would be punished and most likely have future contest privileges removed for a set time.

As for the third Mafia mod, that would again be up to the administration and moderation. We would want to know that the person is actually willing to take up the role as a GM and had the time and experience to do it. Besides, you need all 3. Garfieldo is Hall of Famed, I am Semi-HOF, and we never had a third to begin with. The want for Mafia to return is a reality that we do see, but there is a lot of time and work to be put into it before it can be ready to return.

I remember it worked out so well the first time. The navy only lost 2 members, and 1 was because of inactivity. I don't remember any cheating with it, but the game worked out good. If a 4th round is ever planned, then I'd like to play. I have faith in the staff and Jack that someday Mafia will be played again on POF.

It seems I opened a can of worms... SorrO!

Captain Sharktooth · #13 04-06-2011, 03:54 AM

This would be very fun and cool to play. It would be nice to see it return. I used to play this game with a bunch of my friends all the time a while ago and I liked it a lot, it was always one of my favorite games to play.

EDIT: If I remember correctly from playing with my friends there are "bonuses" or whatever they're called such as Guardian Angel or Detective. Did you guys have those?

There is a doctor who can save a person from the mafia, and a cop who can guess a person that's in the mafia, and if they guess wrong then that person they guessed is removed.

We usually had 7-8 made up for each round of mafia, divided about 4-5 or the pirates then 2-3 for the mafia depending on the size of the group we played that round. We had designed quite the interesting ones too, but I can't give any details of them. We like to re-use a few (because clearly they're the best ones), and I wouldn't want to spoil them if we play another round.
