The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (Game Over!)
« on: February 11, 2014, 10:34:50 am »

The year is 1863, and the location is the wild West of the United States. A Confederate army is trying to take control of the West from the Union, and have infiltrated several men into a Union camp to sabotage it. Along with them are three men who don't care about the war, but are merely trying to make it through alive so they can get to a secret stash of gold.

Hello, and welcome to my first attempt at running a Mafia game.


This game is a normal Mafia game with the exception of three players are third party players with no interest in the main portion of the game.

This game has 13 players, of which 7 are Union soldiers, 3 are Confederate Saboteurs, and 3 are third parties.

Union Players are Town and win when all Confederates are dead. The lynch vote is the town's main weapon against third parties. The town get one power role in the form of the Union General, who can inspect a player at night to determine whether they are Union or Confederate.

Confederate Players are Mafia/Scum and win when all the Union players are dead. The Confederates have access to a quicktopic and have a Night Kill. The Confederates also have one player with an inspect ability, the Confederate General.

The Third Parties:
The Good: This player wins by keeping himself and the Ugly alive until the end of the game or until the Bad dies. The Good knows who the Ugly is and has a one-shot Nightkill. The Good comes up as Confederate to inspects
The Bad: The Bad wins by keeping himself alive until the game ends or the Good and the Ugly are dead. The Bad has a Nightkill. The Bad is essentially an SK with an additional goal. The Bad comes up as Union to inspects.
The Ugly: The Ugly wins by keeping himself and the Good alive until either the Bad dies or the game ends. The Ugly knows the identity of the Good. If the Confederates attempt to kill the Ugly, the kill will backfire and kill the one performing the kill. The Ugly also will survive the first time he is lynched, but his identity will be revealed. The Ugly comes up as Confederate to inspects.

When a third party wins or loses, and are still alive, they remain in the game, but with the Union win condition.

Also, don't hesitate to ask any questions, suggest improvements or help making it more balanced, or tell me my idea is great/okay/terrible.

Isn't 7 Union to 3 Confederate unbalanced?

The worst part of all of this is that Shakerag won.

Well there's always the possibility the Confederates Nightkill a third party by accident, and the third parties probably want to look town so they can stay alive. So if you're saying I should drop a confederate, I'm not completely convinced.

Replacement list.

If a third party wins, do they leave the game?

Worst case scenario time:

Pretend the Bad is lynched D1.
You now enter N1 with 7 town, 3 scum. If the scum kill at all (which they will), then D2 starts with 6 town, 3 scum, at which point town can only afford to mislynch once.

The problem is that all three of the Good, Bad, and Ugly can win with the confederates. So if a Union is lynched D1, then the game enters night with 6 union to 3 confederates + good + bad + ugly. The good, bad, and ugly can all side with the confederates.

Good point. Should I change it so that third parties stay in the game and pursue a town wincon or just with survivor wincon?

True, but the good and the ugly want to kill the bad and vice versa, so they may not want to reveal their identities. You also have a good point. If I switch the number of Confederates to 2, do you think that will be balanced?

How about third parties get a minor victory if they complete one wincon, and major victory if they complete both?

I would think so, yes.
