The Jackalope Bandits [May become the next Beginner's Mafia]
« on: November 14, 2012, 09:03:49 pm »

Welcome to Jackalope. A small western settlement where the need for law is about as frequent as the rain. This dry dusty place has always been bordering on becoming a ghost town. However a familial bond holds the place together. While never lacking supplies it is never particularly well stocked. One day however a wonderful even happened. Ol’ Jimmy Pete found a lump of gold worth more than any of the other townspeople would make in their life-time. At first this was celebrated by all the townsfolk. They all knew that once he sold it there would be a boom in their town. The amount of money each of them would make form this boom would do wonders for them. However the next day Ol’ Jimmy Pete was found murdered in his home, a single bullet placed through his skull. Luckily it would appear that the lump of gold was still within his safe. After several hours of investigating you can find only basic clues. You know that it must have been someone within the town as no one else could have found out about the gold so quickly. You all decide to take justice into your own hands to avenge Ol’ Jimmy. However each of  you has a dark thought in the back of your mind “What if they’ll kill again?”

-This is just the flavor. If I am allowed running the next Beginner's Mafia I'll update this section of the rules.-

So basically, vanilla with some bullshit thrown in?

Cannibal - ridiculously overpowered.
Martyr - misspelled and ridiculously overpowered.
Vig's presence will be far too obvious, and it's making Cannibal even worse.

Also, nobody cares about what the game is themed about. State plainly in the title that it's vanilla, cut bullshit from the setup and preferably begin with modding a BM.

Essentially yes.

The first two I can see what you mean. Sorta embarrassed about the misspell. I don't know what you mean by Vig's presence being to obvious though. Are you saying it's too over-powered?

Also, nobody cares about what the game is themed about. State plainly in the title that it's vanilla, cut bullshit from the setup and preferably begin with modding a BM.

1) Fair enough.
2) Taken into consideration.
3) Am I even able to do that? I thought there was a specific group running the thing and I don't wanna step on anyone's toes.

You post here when you want to take a spot in running the next BM.

Oh, and for me, I like the flavor regardless. :I

No, I mean that with a vig there'll be two deaths per night, barring doctors and PGOs. Not suitable for a vanilla, IMO.

Maybe making it a one shot would be a better idea... I'll consider that.

Vigs are definitely a normal role.  With scum roleblockers and bodyguards it doesn't seem too bad to me.

They are a normal role, but not for such a small game.

Hm, for some reason I thought it was Nerjin who mentioned he was going to make a 6-9 player game and not Meph who advised him. In any case, a vig in a game with less than ten players will make the game progress far too fast, especially if he isn't lynched/killed soon enough.

Well that's what I figured. The Gunslinger is there for flavor mostly but if enough people had joined I woulda put him in as apossible power role.
