The town wins if they lynch both Lynchers.

Lynchers win if they manage to get their target lynched, provided they are still alive.

The game ends when both Lynchers are dead or if a Lyncher wins.

This is of course open to constructive criticism.

Too many vanillas. I think that might be fun as a ten or even eight-player.

Nominate: Night Watch


So I know next time, if I like multiple setups, do I have to nominate them in separate posts?

no you don't. There isn't much of a formal process for getting setups accepted. We just nominate them to bring them to Thesp's attention.

I actually agree with this, it would be better with two less vanilla townies.

both scum are always the same type of scum. So either the Seer or the Cop will be unable to get a "guilty" result.

Hmm- hangman doesn't seem to have anything that'd make the lynchers scummy.

What about the lynchers knowing each other (but not the other's target) and having to get both targets lynched for the win? Then there's some following that can link them to give the town something to look for.

This is, at this point, a completely rough concept:

Mutually Assured Destruction Mafia
(Or something else if anyone can think of a better name than a Dr. Strangelove reference)

1 Cult Leader
1 Serial Killer
1 Jailkeeper
2 Double Voter
2 Bomb
5 Vanilla Town

---
Lots of little dynamics in the way roles interact here. Jailkeeper targeting SK not only protects him from Cult, but also stops him from killing, for example. Double Voter can't hide, so they'd be pretty popular N1, but since there are two, it presents a tiny WIFOM mini-game of which one are the others targeting.

Bomb I'm not sold on since it's kind of random, but I felt 7 vanilla were too many (A) and that having only a single player in a killing role was too few (B).

Like I said, rough idea. Comments questions concerns?

We already had a game called MAD Mafia, and it involved nukes.

Question: It is easy to find out who the double voters are without them claiming (i.e. do you have the weight of the vote in the votecounts)? If so, bad idea. It is much more interesting if it was another way.

That said, Cult sucks, but some people seem to like them.

I should have figured as much, but it is difficult to find one game in thousands.

I had originally intended for weight to be shown, but on second thought I think I agree with you that they'd be better off hidden. I assume that something like...
7 To Lynch

George- Paul, Mike, Leon, Sheryl, Bernard, Jesus
Mike- John, Ringo

George has been lynched.
...would work.
That said, Cult sucks, but some people seem to like them.
Sorry. :wink:

It is a play on "C7", radioactive decay, and the odds of it getting accepted into the open queue.. If I explained it further, it wouldn't be funny, if it ever was.
