Choose Your Side: GreyICE is Lazy Edition
So, here I was, after the spectacular failures of my last two games thinking, "wow, I really should run a game". But I just don't want to design one. So you can do it for me! Pick whatever you want, and we will make this happen.
You will get to pick:
Your Side
: Town, Mafia, or Third Party
Your Role
: Flavor name from whatever. Alignment does not have to follow from flavor (so Hannibal Lector, town is fine)
The Mechanical Complexity:
Pick a number from 5 to 10, where 5 is an average complexity theme game and 10 is some Tarhalindur stuff. I'll average everyone's responses and make it to that!
Bastard Level:
This will determine how much fucking with the players is occurring. 1 would be straightforward "everything GreyICE says is true", 5 is "trust literally nothing"
Caveats (because there has to be some):
Town:
There will be more town players than Mafia players.
Mafia:
There will be a minimum of 2 Mafia
Third Parties:
There is no minimum of Third parties. The maximum, by my rules, would be 8. Third parties may win with the town, with the mafia, with both, or with neither (solo victory). No Third party will have a victory condition that exactly matches either the town or the mafia victory conditions.
If these numbers aren't met, I'll work with players to get there (it has to be a game of mafia). Most likely, they will be.
Game Status:
Bastard
There will be no alignment shifts (because that is against the concept of Choosing). Other than that, you may assume that nothing is off the table. Due to the nature of the third parties, and the ratios that may occur, even if I am not lying you may encounter extremely non-standard mechanics and setup that will lead to surprising outcomes. Join at your own risk.
Experience Requirements:
Two completed games, and a general sense that you're a decent player. Wisdom of the mod is in play. Proper punctuation and grammar will help your case! So will a history of not flaking, good posting, and generally being a player who puts effort into games. This is not to filter by "skill", but by commitment and general knowledge level.
