[OLD] Open Setup Ideas and Discussion

[Wall-E]

You still haven't gotten the joke yet have you jdodge? It was a satirical character rant that you took seriously. I never was pick pocketed by a gypsy. I act and make shit up all the time cause I find it amusing and I thought others would get a kick out of it. Ythill got it and figured I was joking, why didn't you?

Suppose I could have better played the performance by making an alt account separate from my own account where I could have done the rant, but meh. Sarcasm and satire fail on the net I guess.

Though I do think Unconventional is a better name for the setup than Jew still

The joke that needs to be explained was delivered by a poor comedian.

Or the comedian has a dense audience.

Or both.

A good comedian plays TO his audience, not over their heads (or under, in the case of racism).

Can someone review this for me?

7 man mafia

Five cops, two mafia.

Of the five Cops, two are sane, one is insane, one naive, and the last paranoid.

Sane: Sees normally. (Cop/Mafia)

Insane: Sees backwards. Will see other cops as Mafia, and Mafia as Cops.

Naive: Sees everyone as a Cop, no matter what.

Paranoid: Sees everyone as a Mafia, no matter what.

The Mafia start out knowing each other. They do not get scries, but instead have to make something up.

Gameplay: Everyone gets a night 0 scry. You do not see roles, only Cop/Mafia. You cannot scry yourself. You cannot scry a dead player. The Mafia attempt to work together, blend in, etc. During the day, the vote lynch works normally. A dead player's role is not revealed. Only whether he was Cop, or Mafia. During the night, the Mafia can kill one player. Standard win conditions apply for both sides.

Vote counts only count people voting.

this.

Vote Count 23

With four alive it will take four votes to lynch

Thok

: Empking, Adel

Adel

: Mr. Flay

Mr. Flay

: Thok

Empking

:

none

Not Voting

:

none

Vote Count 23 would prove that Adel and Empking are not both town.

I think it might be fun.

Did anyone try it on marathon day?

But mafia would have to be retarded to vote together.

and thus WIFOM is made.

~~ anyhow it is broken by vote flickering.

This looks to me like a great way to bog a game down waiting for Captain Park-Voter to come back from his three-day binge at the opium tent and unvote.

Yes, I just called all lurkers and V/LAers opium addicts. What.

[Wall-E]

It's Dethy (some call it 5mm or Five Man Mafia) +1 scum and 1 cop.

[Wall-E]

...i'm going to take it this means it sucks

[Wall-E]

Ah! Ok.

Dethy or 5mm is basically a logic game with near-perfect odds for both teams winning. In fact, I believe the odds might be exactly 50-50, making sure that games running more than two days always come down to one townie trying to decide which of two people is lying about what bit of information based only on their interaction in the thread/channel. I've played on IRC in real-time once or twice and it's a pretty keen brain-twister with the added stress of deduction under social pressure. That and you might have made a mistake, meaning everyone will be silently yelling at you from beyond the grave that you're being a moron.

So you have to be at least three kinds of masochistic to enjoy it, really.

I was trying to find a slightly more message-board friendly version that will last more than three game-days if neither team is dominating. If anyone else has input, please toss it my way!

Secret Word:
A word is chosen by the mod. If any players say it any time during the game, they will be modkilled at the end of the day, to ensure the word isn't given away.
-Only way to kill mafia is by lynches.
-Mafia know word, the rest of town do not. They are still modkilled if they say it.
Large set-up, lots of players. No nights?

OH FFFFF YES

NOMINATED

OR WHATEVER WE DO TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN

[Wall-E]

3 scum
6 town
Nightless
Votes are designated to 3 groups as a single lynch for each day
Players are grouped together in groups of 2 town 1 mafia
Players can only vote for people in their group
Each day a single group is picked to vote
Town wins when both town voters agree
Mafia win when they survive 3 days
No Lynch is possible

We called this Cellblock Mafia when we played it. It's really good.
