[OLD] Open Setup Discussion and Nominations

[Glork]

Pablito: Alignments aren't revealed until the end of the game. And two overnight deaths means nothing, due to the possibility of cross-killings.

I almost did a nearly-identical setup for Bond Villain Mafia. I was going to have groups of "villains" from the same movie/organization. Some would genuinely be scum; others would not. The way I was going to run it was that

each

villain group would have one kill to use throughout the game... but I couldn't find a balanced setup that I liked, so I ended up scrapping the idea.

[Glork]

I support C9s for everyone!

[Glork]

Just a note to the setup above: The reds and blues are split into pairs. As indicated in the role PMs, they are lynchers of each other; a red wins if his rival Blue is lynched and vice versa.

[Glork]

The only thing about that setup is that if I were the confirmed unkillable bad guy, I'd basically not attack anybody, so as to give off as little information as possible. And I would only vote in order to hammer a good guy.


I like the townies "don't know which is which" variant better. It gives the confirmed bad guy a chance to play around with the town a bit, as people don't know whether his intentions are geniune or devious.

[Glork]

I may want to conduct some trial runs of this game (with variants, possibly) in ScumChat. It sounds interesting.

[Glork]

...considering the town *barely* won a "16 townies, 4 Mafia" with

unlimited lynches

, those numbers seem a little off to me.

[Glork]

Could we have "C9 Random" as a setup, where the mod randomly chooses one from a list of several C9 variants, then (if applicable) randomly chooses which roles from that C9 variant are used, then randomly assigns the roles to the players?

...or is that a bit too complicated?

[Glork]

Drive by mafia

2 goons
1 mafia bus driver

1 tracker
1 bodyguard
1 watcher
6 townies

is the driver a gf?

....why would he need to be a godfather? There's no need for investigation immunity or nightkill immunity.

[Glork]

Second Random C9...

...I was actually considering doing that for my mini themed game (Gumby's Mystery C9 Setup!) until Martyr Mafia came into being.

[Glork]

That's not true... I generally post something like "Hold on, I'm reading back" and peopel wait for me.


Maybe I just command respect. <.<

[Glork]

Inherently biased against the GF? I disapprove.

[Glork]

IRC GF's are kill-immune, Glork.

If no town player has a bullet remaining then scum win.

IRC != MafiaScum


Godfathers are not kill-immune by convention on MafiaScum.

[Glork]

Godfather (kill-immune) then.

I've seen them both ways here.

Back on topic I agree with Xyl here. GF means whatever you want, up to and including lynch-proof, kill-proof, investigation-proof, and kill-deciding.

I agree with this whole-heartedly.

I just happened to misunderstand what Xyl meant by "Godfather," and I didn't make the assumption that apparently IRC regulars are willing to make.

[Glork]

If it is the same as the alignment of a

randomly-determined

player, then yes -- by definition it is random. It is not random with a 50/50 probability, but it is still random.

[Glork]

....they think they've found the assassin?
