[OLD] Open Setup Ideas and Discussion

[Faraday]

There's no reason at all afaik. As long as the set-up is approved you get to pick what open set-up you want to run now.

second/nominate (needs a name leap of faith? too lame)

w/e that is.

[DarthYoshi]

Faith Plus One.

It is the name of Cartman's Christian rock band in an episode of South Park several years back.

[Faraday]

I like that name.

[Beefster]

I have an interesting idea... With an unusual mechanic.

Party All Night, Every Night

• 2 Mafia Goons
  
• 1 Watcher
  
• 9 Vanilla Townies*

Every player can go to another player's party each night. (But not their own, strangely enough) This does not allow night talk (because everyone got too drunk to remember anything).
The mafia must decide who kills everyone that attends the same party he does, or the host if nobody else attended. Each goon can visit a different party, but only one will kill.
The Watcher (You can think of him as the designated driver) remembers who was at the party he attended (as normal- because he wasn't drunk)
Partying is compulsory.

I LIKE IT.

If the Goon kills everybody at the party they attend, how is the Watcher useful? He only observes the party that he attends, so he'll die.

This. Also, how are party attendees determined?

the watcher helps - a little - with finding townies and catching fakeclaims.
but this does seem unbalanced and very swingy.

How does it catch a fakeclaim?

If only one Mafia member kills at a party, it really doesn't matter where the other Goon went overnight. He can tell the truth or lie about it and it doesn't make any difference. Even if the Watcher attends a party and doesn't die, he can't confirm that any other guests were Townies or the non-killing Goon.

EDIT: I suppose it's useful in that, if only one Goon remains, the Watcher can attend a safe party and clear everybody who attends it, but ehh. That's a huge slippery slope thing.

[Herodotus]

The goon who kills may wish to claim they went to the house of someone other than the person they went to. There's a small chance the watcher was at the house they fakeclaim to have visited.

[andrew94]

theres a chance that a lot of people die in one night, making it lylo or mafia win in 1 night

[Quilford]

How about
3 mafia goons
6 oracles

[Mist7676]

MINECRAFT!! (or something)

[chesskid3]

hide and seek mafia was an interesting proof of concept for the idea
how did that one go>?

[ortolan]

I have an interesting idea... With an unusual mechanic.

You need to be more specific about how the parties mechanic works.

Say you have Vanillas A-D, Goons E and F, and Watcher G.
A,C, and E all attend B's party. B and G attend D's party. D and F attend G's party. Suppose the mafia decides that E will make the kill. Since A and C were at the same party E attended, A and C are killed. B was at the same party G attended, thus his results for his watch would be "B".

Suppose there was also a Vanilla H that forgot to submit an attendance. He then falls at the mercy of Random.org, which places him at B's party,
Thus he is also killed.

Suppose Goon E attended A's party instead. Since nobody else attended that party, he then kills A when he arrives back at his house.

[ReaperCharlie]

How about
3 mafia goons
6 oracles

oracles?

[ReaperCharlie]

How about

In other words, that'd be f@#$^ing crazy.

[Tragedy]

Jesters in the Palace

1 King
6 Guards

2 Jesters

NOTES

> Guards are NOT informed of whom the King are. Wins when both Jesters are dead.
> King can choose to execute whoever s/he thinks is the Jester. Wins when both Jesters are dead.
> Jesters are aligned- They may speak to each other during the whole game. When they are the last people remaining, the Town loses. They win when they're both alive.
> NIGHTLESS

[andrew94]

wait...
doesnt jester win when they get lynched

[Tragedy]

I'm being a twisted bastard.

[Hoppster]

> Jesters are aligned- They may speak to each other during the whole game. When they are the last people remaining, the Town loses. They win when they're both alive.

What's the difference between Jesters and a normal Mafia faction then in your game?

[Quilford]

How about
3 mafia goons
6 oracles

Okay, sorry. For me, oracles select one person every night. When they die, the roles of all the people they have selected are revealed.

ie
Massclaiming or claiming of any sort is pointless
Scum have to blend in extremely well
Oracles have to scumhunt extremely well
Scum have to pick their kills very carefully

[Otolia]

How about
3 mafia goons
6 oracles

You could put everyone (including Mafia) oracles AND add modifier like paranoid, naive etc ... But it would be a nightmare to balance properly I guess.
