Halloween Themed Game

[ScarletRage]

We'll let's not having it be too complicated and back up for your first hosting. (I'm damn good at design but hate vote counting.)

There are some things to keep in mind. A doctor with a cop can devolve into a follow the cop game. This is where town ceases to scumhunt and follows the cop. There are several methods to get around this (roleblocker, limited use doc/cop, macho).

Generally you don't want to concentrate the power of town in the hands of one player as well. 90% of the night actions capable would be in the hands of one player. That's not the best idea. For newbie hosts, hosting a semi-open might be the best idea. Working with what we have

Mafia Specialist (Roleblocker, Agent [Watcher + Tracker], or Rolecop)
Mafia 1-Shot BP Traitor [Can investigate any player to see if they are the mob. If he finds a Mob, he joins as a vanilla]
Mafia Encryptor (Allows Daychat)
Neutral Killer (Serial Killer, Arsonist, Spree Killer) (Can pick investigation immune or NK immune) or VT
Town Protective (Bodyguard, Doctor, X-Shot Bulletproof, or Immune to one type)
Town Investigative (Gunsmith, Cop, Watcher, Tracker, Agent)
Town PR (Any of the above + Vigilante or Roleblocker or Neighbors or Masons)
Town PR or VT
Town PR or VT
Town 1-shot PR or VT
VT
VT
VT


The options I have here are fluid. If you don't include a neutral killer, the setup would be townsided if you added a PR in its place. This would work as a Upick as there's enough fluidity to ensure whatever people submitted could work in the boxes.

If scum have very little power ex: Rolecop only, Town's power should be reduced accordingly. The more killing roles there are, the more power town needs to compensate.

titus i think you just overcomplicated it now. i was looking at it as an open game moreso and the cop/doc are in same slot so its not a follow the cop game

ya'll are making my head hurt.

Belay that "out" for now... I'll explain later

 

[Wake]

Aye, you don't have to stress over making it balanced. It's your game, so have fun making it absolutely any way you want. (Just no Cults, please. )

does someone have a sour for cults?

 

[Wolfsister77]

What's a cult? I've heard of it but have no clue what it is.

 

[ika]

cults are fun roles. they are usually 3rd party scums who start as one or 2

there is usally a cult leader who recruits players into the cult as well

basicly its a swing type role. many people hate it b/c of the fact if you get cults your alignment and win-con change and you have to adjust your reads accordingly

i will think about hosting a cult-like game as an example maybe later after halloween game b/c it fits theme

 

[ika]

in otherwords you may start as town but if you get recutied to cult, you are no longer aligned with town and now aligned with cult

more often then not cults can not win with town or mafia and win by obtaining living majority. they also often do not get a nk. their strength lies in the numbers

 

[Wake]

I don't mind Cults so long as they're limited. Let the Cult Leader recruit 1-3 players max, and only make it an X-Shot ability. I'd rather not give them a kill ability, but let them bring Cops/Docs/anything else into the fold.

Cults are dangerous, especially when they have 4+ members in a Large game, and growing.

Make it so that all the Cultists die if the Leader gets taken out, or have the followers revert back to what they were.

 

[ika]

if your adressing to me how i should be doign my cult, i will tell you now that i already have my own ideas on how i am utilizing cult.

if you are unaware, MS is not my true homesite. my true homesite resides elsewhere. and that the site i played on, cults/jesters/sk ect were normal. nothing was really in the realm of basterdized.

i have played and used cults enough that i know a good way to round them out

 

[House]

I'll probably keep it simple, since it'll be the first one I mod. By the end of the weekend, I should have roles figured out and give ya'll more info on it!

[AyeCantSeeYou]

Looking at starting this one on the 11th - next Saturday.

Wake - If you think it'll interfere with the current game, I will hold off.

 

[Wake]

I don't think it would.

How big are you thinking it would be?

Whenever it starts, count me in. I'm hoping Wolfie, Mertex, and Rosie will both play, too, because I want to help sharpen their skills when it comes to Mafia.

I'll strive to insult, ridicule, belittle, and mock no one. However, I have a tendency of being both civil and relentless when it comes to interrogating folks for precious interactions.

 

[Wake]

ika , I apologize for not responding to you sooner. I overlooked it. Sorry.

Cults scare me more than the Mafia. Is that epicmafia you played at? I've been told their games are quite a bit more intense, imbalanced, and crazy. If that means more fun then maybe that's a good thing.

I signed up, then outed, then Grandma wanted to talk to me after the game, it looks like they will both overlap, so that isn't going to happen. I guess I'll go ahead and play since it looks like a fun, small game with an interesting twist to the characters. I hope people realize I will not be able to keep up the activity I usually do in these games, especially if I'm in 2 at once, and not call me scum for it, since I lurked as scum.

Factually, effort and activity is not indicative of alignment.

Whether Town or Scum it's alright to fluctuate your level of activity. Play however makes you comfortable. Heck, you can even post a paragraph or two once a day and still be alright, so long as it's good quality and to the point.

no, epicmafia is a shithole and nothing like real fm mafia like this.

My homesite is mostly dead now but if you ever play SC2 look up the sc2mafia mod.

thats debatable. I haev seen players who are scum be cronic lurkers while when they are town they post a lot
