[OLD] Open Setup Ideas and Discussion

[Trumpet of Doom]

Seems to me that as soon as one traitor dies, their mason partners can claim and clear themselves.

Also, would masons be allowed daytalk? Nighttalk? Both? Neither? Could mafia daytalk?

So maybe instead of having 1 Traitor in each mason group, there can be 3 total traitors, but have them randomly selected from the total pool of 12 players. That way, you don't know for sure if your group has a traitor or not.

That seems like it ought to work.

I was thinking that both groups could daytalk and nighttalk. It could be something that was left up to the mod to decide, though.

The minor problem with that is that the players do need to post in the game thread. Ah well, I'm sure stringent enough activity rules could enforce that.

First off, I'd like to direct you to the Theme Test Market.

Vi's already run a Fire Emblem-themed game (Mafia of Order). Clue might have already been done as well, and it'd probably be a little difficult to balance properly and allow for safeclaims (roles scum can claim and get away with it).

So the Mafia are objectively weaker than the werewolves?

The names are arbitrary. It's only important that the cop only investigates members of the non-killing scum group.

This seems backwards. The non-killing group is already weaker, it doesn't also need a cop that can only find them instead of the other group.
