I might do another League of Mafia. It might have some changes in how I do things in story (last time was a bit of a frustration at times - sometimes things were meant to be an accurate portrayal of an ability being used, other times they were simply writing fluff, which ended up being confusing). I'm not certain what those changes will be.
Character changes will happen. Some characters may return, some new ones may appear, some may not. Not everyone that returns will have the same abilities and not all ability effects will be from the previous champ.
I still intend for there to be no "random luck" factor in the sense of RNG (as opposed to "unfortunate result of abilities"). If something happens, I don't want it to be the result of a coin flip to make or break something but to instead be a predetermined decision on certain interactions. Yes, this means that occasionally (possibly often) I will have to 100% just make a decision on how to proceed on the spot if a situation comes up that I either didn't account for or that has a larger number of variables than I thought likely to happen.
Also, not even if a champ has a power from a previous game, there are no guarantees that its function will even slightly resemble its previous form.
That said, what I'm able to do with this and which champs I'm able to use greatly depends on the number of players I get. I prefer to lean towards "lots of shit can happen" as opposed to "nothing happened - the two guys with a support ability died back to back, gg", but I can only feasibly do that with a decent number of people.
Also, something that I want to address right here and now, and I'm going to be very blunt about it, because it annoyed me last time. If you are going to join and then just go inactive, be it "my power is boring!" or "I just don't feel like posting", then don't waste everyone's time. That really skews the balance of things as well as putting either false information/misinformation out there. If you are only joining with the intentions of "powerful role or gtfo", then just skip to the "gtfo" part.
I will also be more involved in pruning off people that are trying to play the silent game where their only involvement in the game at all is to post a vote or to send me their night action, whereas they are otherwise off the map. I have even noticed times where a "you must post or I'll eliminate you" rule was in effect, and they simply posted "Hmm," the minimum number of times, the bare minimum number of days. If I think you are doing that, then I'm sorry, but I'm eliminating you on intent. Contribute to discussions. Its pretty obvious if someone simply has a lot going on and someone else is putting their sole focus into participating as little as humanly possible.
With that said, if you don't fall into those previous two paragraphs, let me know if you are interested. =D

LoM2 - Blue - 08-22-2011
I also would like to express my interest in being a part of this wonderful game.
LoM2 - Kole T. Merr - 08-23-2011
TL;DR.
So I can be Mordekaiser with the same ability as last time? I'm totally in!
LoM2 - Vad - 08-23-2011
I'm in.
LoM2 - Ashe - 08-24-2011
Definitely hoping to get more than 10 people.
LoM2 - Orion - 08-25-2011
I'd join but there's a huge chance

would apply to me.
LoM2 - Ashe - 08-27-2011
Are there really only ten people?
I honestly don't think I can create enough diversity between two teams with just ten people, but I'm willing to try something.I may do a non LoL themed event if its this few, using other options.
LoM2 - Super Buu - 08-27-2011
I think 10 is a pretty fair number to expect, actually, given the actual active numbers from the games so far. Maybe one or two more, but a few have already said they're tired of mafia so yaknow.
LoM2 - Kole T. Merr - 08-27-2011
10 is the number of people you would get in an ACTUAL LoL game. I'm sure you can make it work.
LoM2 - Kaden - 08-27-2011
The other thing to remember is that even when you got more than 10 people, the 10+ were pretty much afk until eliminated by the gm.
LoM2 - Tyr - 08-27-2011
Isn't standard mafia like, 12?
3 mafias
7 townies (3 of them special roles)
2 neutrals?
LoM2 - Blue - 08-27-2011
Actually, the basic Mafia game doesn't have any neutrals, so Kaden was about right.
Edit: On that note, I also hate adding the Cult or similar things to a Mafia game. Both the Mafia and the Town have enough issues with winning without adding in a group that can reduce the ranks of the others while bolstering its own.
And you might say, "But if they target a Mafioso, then the whole thing is destroyed." But looking at the percentages throughout the game, the chance of actually picking on stays relatively low. Hell, they never even have a 50-50 chance.
LoM2 - Ashe - 08-28-2011
I actually think that around 15 of the people in my last game (want to say I had something like 18 roles) were actually fairly active, which let me have 5 mafia roles and a bit more kill/protect roles.
But yeah, I'll try to think of something.
