[OLD] Open Setup Ideas and Discussion

Wild Wild West

6 Town Gunslingers

3 Mafia Goon with no factional kill

Mechanics:

-

Mafia

have no ability during night or day.
-Each night each

Town Gunslingers

must PM the mod the name of any player to whom they will give a gun.
-During day, each player via PM will be told they received X guns during the night (you can receive more than one).
-During the day, any player with a gun may PM the name of any player to mod for a one shot kill. There is a 50% chance the player's name will be revealed upon using gun.
-Any gun not used by end of day is disposed of.
-Lynches still occur every day

As for balance, it seems that the beginning the mafia have advantage, but as the game goes on it could start leaning towards town.

Mafia bandit is a good idea. Also, I meant for the game to start with night, that way the players don't get a chance to discuss strategy yet on who to give guns to at first. I did mean to include that gunslingers can't give a gun to them-self, thanks for fixing that. How do people typically figure out the EV of games?

Though if we started night, should the mafia bandit be able to use his ability that night? Since on average mafia should get 2 guns that first night.

I though that was the bandit rule. So you're saying that even if gunslingers give mafia multiple guns, mafia can only use one?
