Game Mode Type: You Only Have One Day (YOHOD)
At the beginning of the game, reveal the number of Mafia players. All other players are Town.
Game Starts at Night 0.
All players have various roles with any number of actions.
Undecided on whether the mafia should kill. Since these games are typically fast, it wouldn't be a huge detriment.
Players still vote to lynch one player at the end of the Day.
At the end of the Day, before the lynch is revealed, all Town players must submit a list of players equal to the number of Mafia players that they believe make up the Mafia.
After the lists are submitted, all players receive points based on their own performance:
- All Mafia players receive points based on the number of Town players that did not submit their name. They receive an additional point if a Mafia player was not lynched.
- All Town players receive points based on the number of Mafia players their list contains. Additionally, they lose points for each player that listed them as Mafia. They receive an additional point if a Mafia player was lynched.
At the end of the round, the players are ranked by their number of points.
The aim of the game is to make a fast version of mafia that compresses much of the game into a small timespan. It has an action economy meant to vary depending on what is wanted, and has the ability to make open, closed, semi-open, and bastard games out of the format. And, it judges players based on their ability to avoid scrutiny and play their alignment well, as well as granting bonus points to the team that can get the edge on the lynch. Its downsides are in that one day obviously isn't a lot to go on, so I didn't want to focus a majority of the points on the result of the day.
