hmm...

feels townsided

an interesting consequence is that MiLo isn't actually risking town to lose

hey, wanted to run that sometime soon in the Micro Queue so does that feel balanced to y'all? (yeah this is probably a pretty different way to play the game, but imo it's still mafia, kinda, idk i like the original game and wanted to see how it would be like there)

Mindnight : forum edition
4 Agents
1 Admin

2 hackers
1 scriptie


The Admin is aware of who are the members of the hacker team, but not what are their roles (pls wait before saying this is outrageous you'll see)

The hackers have a PT in which they may talk at any time, they don't know who's the scriptie and he doesn't know who they are

instead of voting to execute peoples, the players take turn suggesting and voting for a team to send for "node maintenances", players propose teams in order of the playerlist, they may skip their turns, and upon thee 5th refused node team, the hackers immediatly win

once a node team has been approved by majority, the game enters a 24h "night" phase where all of the members of the node team must choose to either
hack
it, or
secure
it, a single hack makes the node mission fail

There are 5 nodes in total, having the following sizes in that order :
1st node : 2 players 2nd : 3 players 3rd : 4 players 4th : 3 players 5th : 4 players

the first team to gain control of 3 nodes wins, if the agents win, the hackers get one last chance, they are all revealed to each other, and may try to nuke one player, if the nuked player is the Admin, victory goes to the hackers instead

2:4 nightless, scum wins at two town left, if all executions are town, the last executed player may try to guess the scumteam for the win

random idea, how would it be?

In post 1176, Jingle wrote:^Agreed. EV is a bad metric for nightless vengeful but I'd probably want 35-45%.

i mean yes but like, imagine this scenario :

player 1 (2) player 2 ; 3
player 2 (2) player 3 ; 4
player 3/4/5/6 (0)

if player 6 posts
VOTE: player 2
VOTE: player 1
player 1 wouldn't get hammered as player 2's vote goes away
