An Alternative to Cults

[Nemesis]

LOL...


I like your cults slightly better than regular cults but I'm still not crazy about cults.


Your idea takes out the alignment change factor, but it still leaves the actual problems with cults and creates a couple of new ones. Scum getting recruited too means the cult will grow even faster than usual.

Yes, but if the town makes good plays against the mafia and get them lynched early, the few culted townies could just out the cult leader and end the game.

But if they lynched townies and look like they are in a bad situation, the culted people can just jump ship.

The worst case scenario for the town is made a lot worse by the cult being super strong.

Wouldn't it be 50% of people win, the other 50% are endgamed? (This isn't counting night kills (from n0 onwards) and other random stuff.)
