Mafia Host Rules

If you guys got any suggestions for Rules for mafia host you may put them here.If there is enough agreeing will put it as a rule for further mafias.

Example:Host can't be overly late two times without a good excuse.

That was just an example.You may come up with your own.

Host must not favor players, the roles should be given random to everyone.

++++++++++++ A good rule but hard to actually tell if someone is cheating this



Don't make "filler" roles that have no chance of being useful. A role should actually be able to contribute the game and be at least kind of close in terms of balancing. This should also go for teams. Don't make a round that one side has almost no chance to win. Those round aren't enjoyable at all for the players who get stuck on the basically auto-losing side.

So basically suggest the basic rules of Hosting once again?

1] Give roles randomly
2] Have a balanced game

These two are already well-established.
Reason we get people to choose numbers.
Reason we have a How To Host Thread.

I actually like if the roles are handed out by slot number, its still random but it makes picking a number like opening a present. Other then that I think we really REALLY need to limit the lynch blocks... The last two rounds had WAY to many people ignore lynches.

There has still been a few mafias were some roles have a ridiculously low chance of winning or even effecting the game very much.

Same thing basic balancing



I think we should add some punishment for rage-quitting/breaking rules that isn't host specific(how some host say you may not participate in my next mafia)

It's a matter of balancing. With 6 Mafia (with one that turned to Town), 1 3rd and 13 Townies (1 double voter and many had 2 lives) what exactly do you expect?

If it was not for the lynch negations, or losing 1 life when lynched, the game would be pointless, pretty much an insta-win for Town.

Well there is a good ratio of town mafia in any game... in no way should 6 townies get killed off in the first 2 days and still have majority vote.

Exactly, so the lynch reductions were necessary. Otherwise if 1 mafia was going down night and day, the game would have lasted 3 nights.

I think we should allow people whose partners go inactive be allowed to take over that persons role. That way games won't be completely changed because of inactivity.

I know this wont help if the player that goes inactive doesnt have a partner but it will help with some of the inactivity.

So the Host would inform the partner that has been sending actions that their partner would have been killed during the night for inactivity. Then the partner that is sending actions may send the actions for the inactive person. The inactive person would have to reach the point of being killed before their partner would take over(so missing 2 nights).
