[OLD] Open Setup Ideas and Discussion

[Grimgroove]

I don't know if this is the place to do it, but I have an idea for a set-up that could be fun. No idea if it's been done before either.

Paranoid Psychopaths

9 players

3 Individual Serial Killers, who every night get the choice between: Hiding (rendering them unkillable) or Killing
6 1-shot Hiders, who can during one night of their choosing hide themselves away from danger.

SK wins when he's the sole survivor.
Hiders win when SK's are dead.

Could this work?

[Grimgroove]

Hider is a different role here; better fit for what you're looking for is Commuter.

That said, I think this could actually work? Not sure.

Ah yes, that's what I meant. Still getting used to the terminology here
I think it would work, maybe I should include a cop, because it gets pretty difficult for the Townies otherwise.

[Grimgroove]

What's the difference between running it in the open queue or the micro queue?

Anyway, I liked this setup, but in the last run we had none of the Town power-roles came into effect, possibly not bringing out the full potential of this version.
N1 had a very interesting dynamic, but there was some guesswork involved for both sides (Will scum kill? Will the global watcher watch?) which does make it feel like a bit of a lottery at that stage.
The compulsory visits from VT's are a very nice touch and give grounds for interesting discussion.

[Grimgroove]

Sorry, but what is a vanilla cop? Can't find it in wiki.

[Grimgroove]

But what if the people that you gave a zero, gave you a ten? Resulting in a 5, which could still be higher than other combinations.
Same the other way around, someone you gave a ten could have given you a zero, making it not necessarily so you're on the same team because the resulting 5 could be lower than other combinations.

But it isn't nightless.

[Grimgroove]

Baby Too Much Scum is pretty messed up towards the SK. If FBI agent finds him night one, he's completely screwed.

But that would mean the mafia FBI Investigator would need to expose himself as such. Why would he do that?

[Grimgroove]

Yes, but also in your set-up: what good is it for scum to know who the SK is, if they can't kill him (no NKs), and can't exposr him (because that way he exposes himself)?
