Amnesia Mafia

(for people who hate re-reading)

Every night, the previous day's posts are deleted. Town power roles can choose to save certain posts (like maybe 5 maximum). Scum power role can save and alter a post (sort of like a frame, although editing in "I'm da scum" would probably not work).

I'd like to be able to bring back all the posts at the end, so people could see how well they remembered things, but don't know if that's possible.

Also, I know there is nothing to stop players from copying the posts into their own document and rereading that way. But I think I can allow that and just say that you can't quote anything that has been deleted. So, you can reread it for yourself if you're willing to do all that extra work, but you can't use quotes from it to build a case in the game.

Woo! My first pre-in!

If players have a log that really defeats the purpose. I'd just use the honors system to be sure people aren't keeping a log. There are so many ways to cheat in this game, the honor of playing by the rules is really what keeps it going.

I think it's okay if people keep a log, as long as they know they can't quote the log in the game. They can paraphrase or whatever, but since there is no record in the game, they might be lying. WIFOM?

As for replacements... I've replaced into games that were bordering on 100 pages and told everyone I didn't plan on reading the game. I think it's actually sort of fun because it's so much easier to replace when you don't have to reread. Although, maybe not everyone feels the same way. You can ask the other players to give you a recap, and then they argue if someone is skewing the recap... it can be a way to find scum actually, if people don't give faithful recaps.

Dead or Alive?

I'm working on a vampire-themed game. I remember Back to Gambits had a vampire role, but I'm not sure of any others. If anyone knows of any games or has any ideas, I'd love to discuss.
