And there I was, glad that a scumchat game I agreed to mod led to an improved open setup. And now you're giving up on it? I think this adjusted version is fine as is.Simenon wrote:Bah, there goes Simc9. One of my great ideas.
The complaint was that the setup would turn out to be a Pie C9 a full 2/3 of the time. I thought that we could spice things up by adding in a second role that a recruited townie might become... and I think we've just found that second role. How about this:Simenon wrote:Nominate Simenon c9 2
1 mafia recruiter who can recruit one player once at the beginning of the game.
1 cop
1 doctor
4 townies.
If the mafia recruiter recruits a townie, the townie becomes a mafia rber.
If you're confused about the name: since Tarhalindur proposed the Godfather C9 setup, I took the first parts of his name and Simenon's. Sorry about the confusion.Kelly Chen wrote:So Simtar (?) is in effect:
Probably right about that.Kelly Chen wrote:I also think the whole idea may be more interesting in a larger setup...
To try to capture how things are working in Pie's Screw the Players game, I wanted to give the unplayers a chance to win either by helping the town or by helping the scum. An unplayer getting nightkilled helps the town; an unplayer getting lynched helps the scum. Thing is, I didn't want unplayers to effectively become jesters, so I added that extra constraint. It encourages them to act innocent for as long as possible, before screwing the town at the end.Yosarian2 wrote: "the last unplayer to be lynched" seems wierd...so, you win if you get lynched, but not if another unplayer gets lynched after you do? What's the goal there?
So if there IS a nightkill the night after a Jester is lynched, then the town knows that no one on the bandwagon was scum? Sounds to me like the scum shouldn't nightkill after a Jester is lynched, even if they are able to. It would give the whole show away.Adel wrote:Double Jester Mafia 1.1

2 Jesters

The first Jester to get lynched wins. If the second Jester is still alive at that point, his role and win condition reverts to that of a vanilla townie and he is no longer a Jester.If any members of the mafia are on the wagon that lynches a Jester, they lose their NK the following night.
Unbalanced indeed. Massclaim day 1. I don't see how the town can lose.skitzer wrote:Bad News, Good News

2 Masons (If one dies, the other becomes a Cop)

2 Masons (If one dies, the other becomes a Roleblocker)
1 Miller
This may be very unbalanced, I just wanted to throw a set up out there.
Both could be considered trendy, but the latter is more subversive. In setup A, a deputy or nurse knows that his role is worthless, except as something that he can claim (and that will be risky for the scum to counterclaim). With setup B, a deputy or nurse has a 50-50 chance of actually being useful.Norinel wrote:I'm not sure which of these two setups is best deserving of the name:
Trendy and Subversive C9- A

1 Cop or Deputy
1 Doc or Nurse
3 Townies
Trendy and Subversive C9- B
1 Mafia Goon
1 Mafia Roleblocker
1 Cop or Nurse
1 Doc or Deputy
3 Townies
Either way town's a little more powerful than regular C9, which is probably a good thing.
I have no idea whether or not this setup is balanced. Could really favor the town. Could really favor the scum. Could be balanced. I'd be willing to wager that this game is unbalanced, though I have no idea which way.Adel wrote:swingy, powerrole heavy madness with bizzare massclaim results:
