Game Suggestions Thread

Moving away from the Games and Game Masters thread, I think this would be more suitable here in the Games Forum where everyone can find it quicker and it be more useful to us all!

The thread's rules are simple: This is where we'll offer up Game Suggestions. The only thing I ask is that if you're coming up with an idea, I would like to see:
1. Game Name
2. Detailed rules
3. How is the game won or
4. If a continuing game, how to keep the game from becoming too repetitive.

If it is an RPG, you should check the RPG Rules Q&A thread before posting it. I want to see a distinct outline of the entire game before it goes on, and you can feel free to just PM that to me for critiquing. It's important to me that RPGs keep a certain dignity about them.
http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=15183

So, go on ahead.
Suggest.
--------------------
ADDENDUM AND REPEATS:

Game Suggestion Thread Rules

First and foremost: NO LIST GAMES WILL BE CONSIDERED! They only rack up useless posts and use up web space for the forum.

Games must be WELL PLANNED and game rules thoughtfully created. In other words, think about the game you want to create before just saying you have an idea. Nobody’s first idea is a good one. Games online should be like the board games you play. There should be some kind of challenge to the game.

When making a suggestion for a game, I want to see this information:
Game name, detailed rules, and a description of the challenge in the game.

Games MUST be relative to the Jim Henson legacy of creations.

For Role Play Games (RPG) please read the rules in this thread:
http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=15183

NOTE: Wherein RPG’s are considered, if you want to create the RPG you are the Game Host. RPGs run Monday through Friday, with a break on the weekend. I expect that RPG Game Hosts should post at least once daily to lead the characters in the story along their challenges. If said Game Host does NOT participate and continue the story I will not accept ANY game suggestions thereafter from that member.

Check back to post#1 frequently as these rules may be amended or addendums made, or new rules added as necessary.

Game suggestions that do not follow this criteria will be deleted and/or ignored.

hi fozzie i got a sugguestion for a game but in this game it has no muppets it's just for us boardmembers and you moderators can the director and boss if we curse just put the word censored with me as the host

Here are the rules
1.if we get a sugguestion from the audience and you don't like it stop the game by saying hold please
2.and don't curse use the censored over the thing you are about to say
3.use friendly words
4.have fun
5.somebody has the episode recap after every episode ok.

what do you think?

[Fozzie Bear]

Well, the game rules state that games have to be Muppets or other Jim Henson related creation themed.

We already have sort of RPG games going on. I don't think improv works too well on a message board, either.

Let's try for something else.

Other moderators can check in this thread and okay, deny, or start game threads as well, so just post the ideas and suggestions and let's see what happens.

[tutter_fan]

Ladies & gentlemen, I invite you to a Muppet brawl! (I don't understand why I can't find my original Muppet brawl thread I created yesterday)

The rules are simple:

Since this is going to be a multiplayer type game, everyone can fight, and not only that, you get to choose where you fight (meaning that you can fight wherever you know the muppets have been (example: take the muppet show stage)), and you can use any props that you want! If this thread gets deleted, I will know why, and I ask the mods to be considerate about this thread. This game will be great to play if you're having a bad day, or if you'd like to put off some stress, or have fun & laugh at the hilarity that insues from the muppets, this is THE GAME FOR YOU!

[The Count]

Hmmm... Though the concept is interesting enough, and violence is part of Muppet humor (when done comedically and done right), I'm not sure if this would be the best of games to host here at MC. Will listen to others' thoughts on the matter first though. So post away and let us know.

:eek: :concern: :attitude:

[tutter_fan]

Well, so far I've had one person reply to this "Brawl" thread and they're enjoying it, so I guess I'll wait & see if more people want to participate in this "Brawl" of mine :);):D

[dwayne1115]

We should do another perisdintal run game again that was really fun!

[theprawncracker]

We should do another perisdintal run game again that was really fun!
I agree! I don't know why we haven't... it IS an election year after all! We should definitely try to do this again.

[AnimatedC9000]

Presidential run game... *giggles* That reminds me of a question I asked Jim L. once...


2. From AnimatedC9000: If the Muppets ran the United States (or the world, whichever works better for you), who would be in each position of power? (ex. President, First Lady, Secretary of State, U.S. Representatives, etc.)

Kermit would be president. Miss Piggy would be co-president. (No second place job for her). Sam Eagle would be Secretary of State. Other than that, it would be a free-for-all, as it is now.

X) I say we go for it.

[dwayne1115]

I hope we can I think it would be fun and there is a lot of things going on that could be a part of it. I just hope that if this does get started that somone will at least let me know. Because the first time i threw the idea out and then the game was well underway when I found out about it. LOL! Should I go ahead and post some rules, and things to help get this ball rolling?

[The Count]

Well, if you have something in mind to give the game structure, then by all means post it and we can comment further then.

[dwayne1115]

Well, if you have something in mind to give the game structure, then by all means post it and we can comment further then.

I will type it out and post it!

[dwayne1115]

Ok here is kind of the bases of this see what you all think.



Muppet Central Presidential Election 08'



With the upcoming presidential Election, we here at Muppet Central have wondered what it would be like if some of our favorite Muppet/Henson characters ran for president. Here we will have the chance to find out by having our own little election, and here are the rules.


1. Your campaign can contain 3 major roles: Presidential canditate Vice President and a campaign manager.



2. Voting will be at Muppet Central, and every two weeks the polls will be closed, and the candidate with the fewer votes will be out of the race. However when the members out of the race can join another members campaign. (If they want)




3. There should be no personal Mud slinging on other forum Members. This is only a game and we are all here to just have some fun. However the Muppets we play can do all the mud slinging there little hearts desire.



4. Your campaign can try any means necessary to get votes on the Muppet central community. (Private Message’s e mails and so on) please don’t spam try to win votes on a personal level with your voters.



5. Your campaign should come up with a battle plan that will show how your canditate will improve there Muppet Central community.



6. At the end of the election the winner will be President of Muppet Central for one year! When president you will be able to pick a cabinet and will have to deal with Congress and Senate, which will be some of the Muppets you have ran against for president, so run a clean race and your relationship with Congress and the Senate will be smooth.


6. The last rule is have FUN!
Now dose this make me a game mod if I'm the one who starts this? I know that the Mods may be busy to contol all of this so I would be more than happy to.

[The Count]

Well... To answer your last question, no. The only people who can be Game Moderators are MC's moderator staff and administrators, as they're the only ones who have the authority to and should be the ones posting new threads in the Games section of the forums, thus starting the games. However, once gameplay starts, then you or the person who conceived the game in the first place will be the one in charge of making sure that play progresses as intended. But since this is a game that'd entail polls, it'd need mod help for that as well.

One thing though. If the candidates can campaign privately or publically, how would this prevent spamming for votes? I do know that if this goes forward, much like the MC Awards, any threads that are blatently and annoyingly "Vote For Me!" based will be immediately nixed. Also, would we work off of the one person one vote system? Or the one person multiple votes option instead?

If people are truly interested in this 2008 Presidential Muppet Elections game, then please contact a moderator, either Fozzie Bear or MuppetQuilter or myself, the game's title as the subject heading. If there are enough people, then maybe this stands a chance of being approved.

Hope this helps. :attitude:

[dwayne1115]

Well i dont rembere how it went last time so to answer you questions i dont know.

[The Count]

Hi... Here's an idea I've been sort of hatching for a new Muppet RPG.

Remember back when BethC was on the forums and we spent that one Christmas playing Muppet characters at Miss Piggy's house? Well, I thought maybe something similar could be done again this year.

1 Instead of Piggy's house or my namesake's castle, the game can take place in the fictional town of Hensonville, which we've created in our various fictional stories. Gathering spots would mainly include the MC Dorms and the Muppet Theater or Muppet Boarding House.
2 If you're already part of the MC Dorms, you can play as both yourself and/or any one or potential combination of your roomies.
Example: Prawny could play as himself, Ryan... Or as Gonzo, Clifford, or Sam the Eagle... Or as himself and just Gonzo... Or as himself and all his roomies.
3 If you're already part of the dorms and choose not to play as one of your roomies, please don't be upset or call foul if someone asks for and gets to play as any one of your unchosen roomies.
Example: If Lisa chooses to play just as herself and/or The Swedish Chef, then anyone else, like Beth could choose to play and get to play as Rowlf.
4 The game would be open to all MC, not just those already involved with the MC Dorms. However, if there is a problem with one of the players, it should be dealt with before gameplay begins.
5 People interested in playing should contact the person who will act as the game host to let him/her know if they are seriously interested in playing, and which Muppet character besides themselves they would like to play as. Like most other Muppet RPG's, the rule of no taking a character already chosen by someone else will apply.
6 The game could start the week after Thanksgiving and go only as so long up until New Year's Day, January 1, 2009. At that time the game will end, though I think maybe it could stay open for at least one week more after that for the Three Kings holiday.
7 Tasks included in the game would be, but not limited to:
a. The lighting of the Hensonville Town Christmas Tree, similar to the lighting in Rockefeller Center in New York City.
b. Carolling through town, which would earn players either 1 gingerbread cookie, 1 holiday ornament for the tree or menorah back home, or $1 to be stored towards buying presents. Additionally, players would need to say which town local they're carolling at and where it's located. This is based on how (fluff friends) does their contests.
Example: If Robin the Frog says he's going to go carolling at the Rock & Roll Deli, and he is the first to get there, he gets the reward. If Gobo Fraggle gets there first before Robin, he gets the reward instead and Robin gets nothing. Finally, each carolling spot can be revisited once every six hours to try their luck during the carolling phase.
c. Christmas Week:
1 Shopping for presents.
2 Christmas feast.
3 Christmas ball/dance/party.
4 Christmas Day morning, giving presents to each other.
d. New Year's Ball/Party.


Rully think this has a shot, but of course it depends on whether it gets greenlit and if there are enough people wanting and who actually do play the whole way through.
Thanks for listening. :batty:

[Fozzie Bear]

I feel that is well thought-out, has a reason behind the players' actions, and a point to the game! Go for it!

[The Count]

Thanks. Not sure if the part about the carolling can be done effectively though. Mainly, that's just an excuse to finally create a working map of our town of Hensonville... Might get scaled back a bit when the game gets opened after T-Day, unless you think it's doable?

[Fozzie Bear]

YOu never know until you 'hop' into it and do it. That leap of faith. Git on it!

[Fragglemuppet]

Lovely motivational speech, Kev!
:D

Sounds fun Ed; not sure if I'd be able to participate though because of my T-Day week schedule.
:( The only thing I might suggest, is while I think the idea of caroling is great, map or no map, it the point system might not work so well. Besides the fact that it might get a bit confusing, heck, it's Christmas, or if you prefer, holiday caroling! The stress of getting there first for the players, and assigning points for the gamehoast, might take away the casual fun of it.
Also, I think the bording house is a great idea for a setting! Not so sure about the dorms; since we already have a thread for that, am thinking we could just have a separate party there if we like.
Sorry for the long post. I don't want to sound like I'm ordering you around or anything, lol! Just putting my two cents in. Make of it what you will.

[The Count]

Trust me Kate, it's well appreciated. Yeah, the point system will be dropped. It's not that the game would be centered as taking place at the dorms, but rather it would serve as one of the three main gathering bases of operations along with the theater and MBH... Though maybe in terms of refinement of the game it could be centered chiefly at the MBH. And don't worry, this would take place after T-Day until January 9 2009 at the very latest.

Thanks Prawny. Stay tuned, it'll be opened at some point this weekend and we'll start by taking participants first.

:zany: Applause!

[Red Fraggle]

hi im new but i ahvea n idea for a game its something ive palyed on another forum its called Mafia we could do it in muppets style tho of course.

basically how Mafia works is there are mafia members and innocents or good guys and bad. depending on how many poeple paly determines the number of mafia adn innocents say only 5 people are palying we'd ahve 1 mafia member, its sort of a role play but with alot more structure and less story line. you ahgvea Moderator or host who leads teh players along and determies who get what roles. it starts with sum1 being murderd teh killer is someone in the group and evryone votes on who tehy think it is the eprson with teh most votes is "Lynched" if that person was not mafia then we switch to night and the mafia member(s) get to make a kill.

now to give teh innocents a bit of help sometimes we use a seer and or a protector, the seer ggets to ask 1 yes or no question of the game mod or host each night or 24 hours in game time, teh protector can protect 1 person each night including themselves.

if you are the seer you can choose to share what info you elarn with the other palyers, you CANNOT come right out and state that you are the seer or protector adn you wouldnt want to any way - unless ur about to be lynched- cus that would make you a prime target for the mafia.

to realte this to muppets, we could do monsters as the mafia and muppets as innocents... or maybe teh mafai could be like statler and waldorf and heckle sum1 to death... if anyones itersted in this im open to sugestions as to how we'll tie muppets into it.

[Fozzie Bear]

Well, it isn't something we can do in the family-friendly guidelines of Muppet Central. Change the game rules around a little bit and make it less violent and resubmit, please. I think there's likely something we can do with this if presented differently. :)

[Red Fraggle]

cool i will work on it if anyone has anysuggestions for how to make it work please share!

[dwayne1115]

I kind of wanted to do a Muppet RPG game or make it into a fan fic of "I'm A Muppet get me Out of here" We would have two teams of Muppets in the Jungle of Costa Rica and having to surive. They would have to do certian tasks to win Food leadership and Amunity from being voted out of the Jungle. We could set up a poll and every week people could vote to see who gets to stay and who will be asked to leave the Jungle.
At the start of each week there would be a task that would give ethier one team or one Muppet Amunity from being voted out, and each day there will be a challenge for food and other luxuerys. I would first want to get the approved then have people who want to play pm me with what Muppet you want to be. There can also be add on people if they want to come in latter after the game has started. Also if two people want to do some duos that would also be fine. What do you all think? Let me know.

[The Count]

Sounds plausible enough... Just finetune the rules.

[dwayne1115]

Thanks Ed Ill work on it! if anyone is interested in being a contesnt let me know.

[dwayne1115]

Here is the basic rules of the game. I hope that it works if not maybe I can work out another game. I have a few things going on in my head.


I'm A Muppet get Me Out of here





The Story
The Muppets are being thrown into the jungles of Costa Rica, and are going to be striped of all there luxury's Living in the jungle will not be easy, and to make it more of a challenge there will be different trials that the Muppets will have to play in order to win food, and other luxury's The Muppet who does stay in the jungle the longest will be crowned the Jungle king or queen. Each week there will be a vote from the Members of Muppet Central on who will stay in the jungle the player with the less amount of votes will be asked to leave the jungle for good. The Muppets are also playing for charity so the winner of the game will win a lot of money for there charity. Who will survive who will win it all and who will say... "I'm a Muppet get Me Out of Here!"




The Muppets

The Muppet can be any Muppet from The Muppet Show, Sesame Street or Fraggle Rock. There can only be one Muppet per player, but you can team up with another player to make a Muppet duo The players will also have to create a charity that there Muppet will be playing for If at any time in the game the player feels they can not play or need time out they can put there Muppet on Stand by. Doing this will make there Muppet absent from the game but not completely gone from the jungle. If another player wants to take over any Muppet on stand by they must first contact the player and then contact the game host (Me). If any player wants to quit the game then all they have to say is "I'm a Muppet get Me Out of Here" and there Muppet will leave the Jungle for good.




Camp




Camp is where the Muppets will be sending most of there time. Each week there will be a Camp leader,and being camp leader has it's privileges and it also has it's responsibility. Each Week the camp leader will have a list of chores for each Muppet to do, and there will also be a special chore that the leader will have one Muppet do.





Food/Luxury Trials

Each day there will be a food/luxury trial. Some trials will be done as a team, and some as one Muppet. The winners of the trial will win the food or luxury, and the losers will go back to camp empty handed. If any of the Muppets feel they can not preform or handle the trail they can always say "I'm A Muppet Get Me Out of Here" and they will be disqualified from the rest of the game.









Voting



Everyone on Muppet Central will be able to vote for the Muppet they want to see stay in the jungle. There is going to be an e mail address setup where people can cast there vote. Voters can also private message the Game host (Me) to cast there vote. Everyone can vote at least ten time per voting time. Each week the Muppet with the less votes will be asked to leave the jungle for good.



That's pretty much the game in it's self If you have any questions please ask.

[The Count]

All looks good... But as for the voting... Do you want that set up as detailed in your post above? I ask, because as a mod, we can attach voting polls to a thread with specific timeout locks and options to modify the poll as it goes. Say for instance you have 9 Muppets remaining... We have the poll start with 9. At the end of the week, whoever gets voted off gets eliminated from the poll options for the following week. We would however need to know all the participants/options ahead of time... And there is a maximum of ten options for any given poll. Additionally, would you want individual voting (1 person, 1 vote) or multiple voting?

Hope this helps, somewhat. :shifty:

[dwayne1115]

Well The thing is everyone incuding the players could see the results of the vote on here right? So to make the game more dramaic have the email or pm me there votes. It would make more drama, and that's kind of part of the game. I already have an e mail set up for the game, and hopefully it works.

[The Count]

Okay then. Kinda busy with a couple of things at the moment, ask Fozzie Bear to start the thread with the rules posted here. If it doesn't get done by Monday, I'll set it up for you then. Hope this is okay and have a good weekend.

[dwayne1115]

Starting on Monday would be better anyways.

[dwayne1115]

Alright i have been working on things and I think this game will work really nicly. I can't wait to see how things go.

[muppetfan1999]

I have an idea for a game. it involves teams, Muppets, and Storys. Tell me if you want more details.

[The Count]

Yes, more details are required as we can do nothing until learning of the nature of your suggestion here.

[muppetfan1999]

Well the way my game works is that there are 2 teams, each with 6-8 people on each team.
Each week, The teams have to work together to make a story based off a few words I say. so if I said Muppet Labs, or Horror, the teams would have to work together to make a story based off my topic.
The teams make the story by taking turns posting parts of the story in order in their teams thread.
Once each teams story's are done, I read through each story and decide which teams story is better.
Also, every other week, the losing team has to vote off which ever team member they think did the poorest or gave the least help throughout the 2 weeks . If needed the teams my need to give up team members to keep it even.
Then, at the end, the remaining two players have to go up against each other and work on a short story for 2 weeks ( or until they both finish, whichever comes first) Writing each part of it in different posts if needed. They may have to come to an sudden end if they are not finished by the end of the 2 weeks. then, once the winner is decided, the game ends until next year/any other time when new players come and play. However, I have not decided a Name yet.
Also, there will be another thread where I announce the winner of each week and important announcements like saying that teams need to be swapped up or some thing.
Tell me if you're interested.

[Fozzie Bear]

What would be the title of the game? I like it, it allows creativity. I think that the teams shouldn't have to pick which of their team mates have to be let go of, and rather do it in reverse alphabetical order by screenname of who is on the team (the person whose screen name is closer to the letter Z gets kicked off the team first). that way, no hard feelings will be had.

Did I miss this part: How are winners decided, and who chooses which is the best along the way?

[Count von Count]

A game Idea
Muppet Trivia.
One person ask one or more Muppet Trivia Qustion, the person who answer it right gives another qustion. And so on.
Ex.
How many “points” are on Kermit’s collar?
Nine
Ten
Eleven
Twelve
_____
Answer Eleven

A Muppet Trivia Qustion can be about any kind of Muppet: From S.S, M.S, Can even be a Fraggle question, Or even a qustion about a Muppet person, And........

You don't have to give out A B C answers if you don't want to, that sometime makes it to easy.

The name of the game will be Muppet Storytelling. (I know, not a very catchy name)

I like the idea for the alphabetical voting off. The winners are going to be decided by me and maybe two moderators or probably two junior/senior members.

[The Count]

Yes, it's an old thread, so go :search: for it.

[Count von Count]

Found it, Now Muppet Trivia is back Open.

[Gelfling Girl]

How about "Weird Question, Weird Answer" or something along those lines? It's similar to The Obvious Game, but the next person has to think of a weird answer before posting a new question. For example, "What type of animal is Miss Piggy?" and the next person might respond "She's obviously a platypus!" or something like that.

[Red Fraggle]

Ive got na idea for a game "build a muppet" or "make your own muppet" what wed be doing is describing a new muppet that we are creating we give it a physical description then add personlity traits and after all is said and done someone names it. each person psots one piece at a time.

example: A- this muppet has floppy ears
B- this muppet has the snout of a pig or *adds a pig snout*
C- This is a girl muppet
D- *adds short curly hair*

etc etc.

if this goes well maybe after we have a a few muppets created we can start a rp thread for them each person can choose a muppet to play!

That's an awesome idea! :)

[The Count]

Hmm... Not sure, since there are a couple of threads for people to post their own made-up Muppet characters. A game where those characters were to interact with other more established Muppets would be feasible, though that's more the realm of the fanfics and the town of Hensonville around the dorms. Granted, the town doesn't get explored much... Maybe that could serve as the focus of a new RPG, themed for either September or October, where the object is to go trick-or-treating all around?

Think on these suggestions, hope it helps.

[Red Fraggle]

well it wouldnt be one eprson creating one muppet i thogut it could be something that many differnt peolpe contribute to that would make it more random and more fun.

the idea came to me from a game we palyed on another bbs "Make Your own Hottie"

[muppets2]

yea that sounds good

[Fozzie Bear]

I think this is a great idea. The posts could only be descriptions, and then someone will have to end the game by posting "Muppet Completed" and then one other player, who is an artist, takes those descriptive pieces and draws the "Muppet."

Kind of an online game with art of a "FAO Muppet Workshop" thing.

Your elements and these added: What do you think?

Well, if we get an artist to draw the completed Muppet, then I'd okay the game and get it started up, turning the baton over to RedFraggle.

[Red Fraggle]

sounds awsum! thats be sweet if we could get the muppet drawn!

[Red Fraggle]

so what now? should i start teh game thread or do one of you guys (mods) do it?

[The Count]

Hi Kiera. Only mods can start game threads, though once started, they're handed off to the forum member who'll serve as the game's host. Unfortunately, since noone artistically talented has stepped forward yet, your suggestion is stalled for the moment. Dunno, ask around, post something about a Muppet artist needed in the pertinent section... Hope this helps. :wisdom:

[Gelfling Girl]

Well, I'm not incredibly artistic, but maybe I could help out a bit to get the game started, then maybe someone else (if they don't already volunteer by the beginning of the game) could step up and take control of the drawing part.

[Fozzie Bear]

We could start the game and indicate that we need artists to participate.

[Red Fraggle]

right that sounds fine. THanx gelifing girl! its not like we really NEED one to play teh game but it'd be ncie once we finished teh muppet to get a visual! In the opening post introducing the game we'll state that we would like an artitistically inclined person to create an image of the muppet when its finished.

There's always the power of imagination. Don't forget your Muppet Babies.;):)

Gelfling Girl, you should participate at least once. That'd be great.

Ok. :)

Okay, so this is just the idea:
Two teams would design a Muppet-themed roller coaster, and they will compete to see who could come up with a better design.

yea but we need like a judges panel to decide which one is the best

[GonzoLeaper]

Hey- I had an idea for a Muppets-version songs game I wanted to propose. This is actually based off of a board game I like called Encore.
The basic idea is this- the player to start out posts a word. The next player will have to name a Muppets song with that word in it. The player would do this by listing the line from the song with the word in question. (It'd be good to have at least six words from the song and somewhere the requested word be contained therein.)
Also- if it's a fairly obscure Muppets song, it would probably be good to name the song and show or movie, etc. that it's from.
(But this really wouldn't necessarily have to be a mandatory thing. Just necessary sometimes to verify that you didn't just make something up on the spot.;))
I'm thinking this can go one of two ways. Either a player posts one word and everyone goes on with that word and exhausts all the song possibilities as much as possible until the player who first posted the word declares it "dead", so to speak, and then the last player to post a song can post the next word.
Or it may just be simpler to keep it as one word per player. (i.e. Player posts word. Next player posts song and new word. And so forth.)

So for example, I might post to start off:

word= green
...........................................
And then the next player posts in response:

"It's not that easy being green"

nw: sing
.................................................

And there you have it. So what do you all think? Sound cool?:excited::)

[muppets2]

Yea Sounds good to me

pretty great idea

[The Count]

Hmmm... Dunno. On the one hand, that idea seems similar to Muppet Word Association. On the other, it sounds like the basis of a Name That Tune type game. Develop it further and then post what you think as to improving/finetuning your suggestion GonzoLeaper.

Okay- well, the distinction here is that it's not exactly the same as Muppet Word Association. Similar, yes- but not totally alike. I guess the big difference is that it's not just saying a word and asking for what Muppet song comes to mind.
It's saying a word and finding a Muppet song that has that word in it. (Thus, there's more of a remembering of lyrics involved in this game.) The original concept of the Encore board game I mentioned calls for teams to sing the line in question that contains the given word- but obviously since that's not really feasible here- I thought just posting the line in question would work just as well.
I suppose if so desired, a Name That Tune aspect could be added wherein the starting player might phrase his post something like this:
"I'm thinking of a song that has this word in it _________."
And from there, players could try to guess the Muppet song. (And most words would probably have more than one right answer, which would keep people guessing for a while.)
But that would really be getting into a bit of a different concept than the Encore-inspired idea.
Do you have any other suggestions on how it could and/or should be improved?:concern::confused::search:

[Red Fraggle]

I think i psoted this idea before but i ahdnt really developed it for teh muppet world. THe Game is called Mafia ive palyed two dif versions on another board and its alot of fun. Ive fine tuned it for the muppets includoing characters from both teh muppet show and sesame street. read through it and let me know what you think.

Rules
- Everyone has a vote of who is the Grouch person.
- Everyone is allowed to talk during the Day and speculate over who the Grouches are.
- Day doesn't go into Night unless Everyone has posted/voted for the victim
- During the Day you may post, talk amongst your Human selves and find the Grouches out.
- You vote like so
Vote: Red
Unvote: Red Vote: Someone.
- They also have to be bold so no confusion is given when you're just talking about who you think it is.
- The night is when the Grouches plant mischief with the Humans. It's when the Grouches come out to play. Grouches can tlak to eachother through pm's during teh night, the humans are not allowed to talk.
Golden Rule: Check in every 24 hours. FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT="
-Exception to above rule: If you can't make it PM the host and give them your vote. If you're gone more than one day, I don't know, tell them to go alphabetically or something.
- When it turns night innocents are not allowed to give any more clues or try to save themselves.
-Also have fun!

In case of a tie
1. The person running the game can tell the people who didn't vote for the 2 accused to change their votes.
2. Get an outside person to pick someone. One that has no information on anything. I've been that person a couple of times.
3. Re-vote with just the people with the same amount of votes.
Ex.
Sin 3, Sol 3, Sal 3, Ted 2, Ang1
The votes will be cleared and the only people you're allowed to vote for are Sin, Sol, or Sal.
4. If the person hosting the game is angered at the moment that could just wipe out everyone.

Roles
Good Side:
Kermit, The Host: Can protect one person a night, if he protects a mafia he will die instead. (does this need to be explained more?)

Scooter, The Gofer: Communicates with the Ghosts or the Mod. (You can ask the ghosts any questions.)
Can ask the Mod questions. (See above. Yes or No questions only.) Just one questions Day/night. What I mean by that is Day + Night = 24 hours. 24 hours = only 1 questions allowed. You are only allowed to give one piece of information out a day.

Super Grover: Can switch 2 people or themselves. (For example, if Grover switches person A and person B, and person A is killed by the Grouch, then B dies instead. And no resurrection with this.)

Humans: Regular players (No powers)

Grouches: Grouches like Oscar who ahte evrything and have turned on the other muppets and humans around them.. (No powers. But one could also have this: Choose to bomb anybody during day, killing both the victim and him/herself. If someone asks about this player they will be found innocent.

Paranoid Muppet: Involuntarily kills, votes, anyone who targets him during the day, regardless of alignment. Anyone asks any questions about them they are innocent.

Roles That Can Be On Either Side:
Heckler: Adds humor to the game. (This character will change with every game. Rhyming, using parts of songs, using drinks/food labels...Idk weird things that could make the game funny.)

Self-Centered Roles:

Crazy Hary: Insane, Will kill anyone, like above. In any group, but will kill Mafia too. Gets to kill one person a game *Anyone* (Questions?)

The Reporter: This person can seduce one other player in the game without their knowledge. If someone tries to kill the reporter the person they’ve been seducing dies instead.
Muppeteers: are all powerful beings. You need to be on their good side in order to survive. Some muppeteers when they are angered can unleash horrible things. Can bring one person back from dead and kill one person


Not sure which Side:
Rogue Host: Same thing as Kermit except if you save anything good you die. You try to save the baddies.

Other Info:
At the beginning of the game the hoster takes names then they gives them all a role, which will come in a PM. Don't tell your role to ANYONE, unless you're a Grouch then you'll know who your partners are. At the beginning the person hosting will give a scene saying they died by some horrible means then it turns Day. During the Day you try to find out who killed her by voting. At the end of the day= 24 hours she takes all the votes and see who has the majority. That person is lynched and everyone finds out what the person was. Then it becomes night. That is the Grouch's time to run amok.. Once the mod receives the Grouch PM the next scene takes place and we find out who was the victim. Then the whole thing happens over again...


For other Time Zoned People
1 in game Day + 1 in game Night = 24 hours. So don't worry about time zone as a restriction for playing the game. Any questions you can PM me with "Muppet Mafia Question"

*** All of the Roles will not nesecarily be used in every game and not eevryone gets a named part. Depending on how many players we ahve will determine the number of Grouches and Humans. To start we will probably just do Humans and Grouches till evryone gets the hang of it.*** :)

[The Count]

Hmm...
GonzoLeaper, the Name That Tune idea would probably work better, and let's keep it simple to just one song per round.

RedFraggle, there are aspects of your game that could work, but I have some Muppet misgivings about other details. Maybe we can talk about it later.

Hope this helps.

[Red Fraggle]

k yeah im open to sugestions right as i posted this i also thought about a fraggle gorg thing but idk

Okay- that sounds cool to me.:super:

[GonzoLeaper]

Hey Mister The Count- thanks for setting up the new game. I like the modified rules- sounds like it'll be fun.:batty::wisdom::)

[Gelfling Girl]

I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet, but how about a "Degrees of Relation" type game.



For Example:
Janice and Robin

Janice-Richard Hunt character-Sweetums-"Two Lost Souls"-Robin

[GonzoLeaper]

Ah- the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon game!:)
