Donner Party.

I'm hosting this game soon under its exact mafiascum details, but I am thinking of making it 13 player instead of 12. I would add 1 VT. Would this favor town too strongly? or would it be good for balance?

I'm hosting this off-site. Would it be crazy if I added 2 VTs?

I just announced to them that I'm changing it to 13 player, +1 VT.

At Poxnora(a game) in the off-topic section we are pretty awesome. We're a small, but enthusiastic group. I put the sign-up thread up about an hour ago and already have 11/13 players. I hope the swingy-ness isn't gamebreaking, but I'll let you guys no how it goes.

Thx

Is Tit for Tat a good set-up? The history on the wiki of it has 6 or 7 games played and only 1 town win. What might be wrong with it, if anything?

Why is No-Lynch not allowed in Donner Party?

So I ran 13-player variant of Donner Party on another site recently. Same thing, just +1 VT. (link if interested; http://forums.station.sony.com/strategy ... c_id=85586

The final five were 2 VTs, Vig, SK with NK immune shield intact, and a Goon.
For the majority of the game there were no NK reveals, until they lynched the SK who had killed one of the Goons. Unfortunately for town, that goon did not perform any kills.

The goon that made it to endgame played a really great game and really nobody alive suspected him. Town stayed dedicated even without alignment flips. SK fake-claimed the Dietician late-game (gunsmith) which he had consumed on the first night. Town was hesitant, but they did not buy the claim. (pretty smart considering this was the first time something like Donner Party was hosted on this site)

Turned out to be a popular game.

tl:dr Donner Party is awesome.

Though next time I'm going to use lighter flavor, maybe candy zombiez?
