You Make The Mafia Role

[Gongsun Zan]

Round 7: A Godfather You Can't Refuse

Ok, I think by now, everyone's gotten a little tired of unkillable Godfathers. I'm not sure when the trend started, but I'd like to come up with a few new ideas that would shake things up a bit.

So anyway, for your next challenge, design a Godfather role. He needs to be powered up in some way, but invincibility is out of the question. So get to it.

Again, 2 people will be eliminated this round.

[Sousa]

Shit, I have no idea who to make the godfather in a Legend of Zelda Mafia. I throw in the towel. There's no way I can finish this unless somebody can convince me of a worthy don.

[The Mask of Norro]

I'd suggest Ganon, but he stands out more as an indy so... shit.

Maybe a mafia of Tingle and his family come to take revenge on those who dared to mock their manly uniforms? Tingle could pull off a pretty dark mob boss >_>

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

I again suggest Psyduck.

Dust yours off maybe?

Yeah, it's going to be Ganon. No way is he an indy--he orchestrated the kidnapping of the Seven Maidens and the coup against the throne of Hyrule. If there's ever been a Zelda game where Ganon acts like a Mafia Don, it's Link to the Past.

Hilarious

I dunno, I've always seen Ganon as more of a standalone to be honest, but you have a point in that he does act more as a don there. Admittedly, I'd forgotten you were doing Link to the Past and just assumed a general Legend of Zelda theme there

[Matt]

:shifty:I thought a godfather was a scum (usually don) who came up townie.

[Gongsun Zan]

I always used the word Godfather and Mafia Don interchangeably.

I STARTED MAFIA ON EWB SO YOU DON'T ARGUE WITH ME YOU

[Matt]

Sorry Zan

[Sousa]

My role's in. It's Ganon! What's yours? Is it done? Is it any good?

[DFF]

Is there a time limit on this? Cos, unless I can come up with something in the next 30 minutes, I won't be able to do so for another 7 or 8 hours when I get back from work.

EDIT: No, I got nothing. If this things still open when I get back from work, I'll do one then.

Scores for the daykiller...

Sousa - Nice risk/reward trade-off Score - 9

Ruki - So, he's a miller who can't claim, and if he kills a townie with the daykill he'll be penalised again. Ouch. Score - 5

-Matt- - Interesting, the near-death state is unique. Score - 7

DFF - Again, nice risk/reward trade-off Score - 9

Marcos Not too bad in needing a set-up to daykill, but nothing too different Score - 6

Norro As above Score - 6

[Ruki]

[DFF]

Sent.

[Ruki]

When I go out this round, I demand the one I sent in for the godfather gets rated.

[The Mask of Norro]

Got mine in, I like how it turned out. Hopefully the judges will too >_>

[Gongsun Zan]

Ok, about 11 more hours for the last couple of you to get your role in.

[Pesci]

Sousa - 9/10 - gives the player an incentive not to use their kill straight away, or even within the first couple of days

Ruki - 6/10 - I think having a tracker ability could make the player less eager to use their kill and it's a test to see if they get frustrated that their targets at night aren't doing anything - but I'm not sure about being a miller and not being able to claim either

Matt - 6/10 - If they hit scum and basically become a bulletproof townie, it could hurt the scum a little too much. I don't generally like bulletproof townies anyway unless there's a limit. Saying that, the balance is there if they hit a townie.

DFF - 8/10 - I don't like unlynchable dons but I think that if the ability is there, it shouldn't be so easy to remove, since in this scenario after they escape a lynch they're probably just dead the next day anyway. But I very much like the rest of it.

Marcos - 6/10 - The whole no role name and alignment being revealed is a good twist, should have the town set in paranoia. As RW said, apart from that and the drink thing there's not much difference.

Norro - 7/10 - investigator with a kill it seems? At least it's different

They're not really a bulletproof townie, a simpler way to explain it is once they use their ability they're either dead or out of the game (they don't count in the "with x alive it's y to lynch" count, they can't vote, etc:) and are reliant on the rest of the town winning.

[Pesci]

If they can still offer opinions in the game thread, they're essentially a bulletproof townie. All that's different is that they can't vote or be voted for. They can still make great observations and the mafia can't do anything about it.
