That could work, it would also add some more strategy to the choice aspect; do i want to choose the ovbious power role and risk someone else choosing it, or do i want to choose the ovbious power role and stop someone else choosing it?

Hmm, me likey. I could give a list of roles without townie, and duplicates get townie. Say 11 people, 10 roles, or something.


Nice idea.

[Mr.Person]

Same thing for the scum. Do they take the obvious power town roles to cockblock them or do they take the roles that will help themselves?

[Neruz]

The more i think about it the more this sounds like an awesome mafia game.

I think i'll run this after Neruz's Vector's Bastard Mafia ends, which it probably will soon, since i think one of the sides is close to winning or rendering it unplayable.

[CobaltKobold]

RB/Doc/ascetic seem pretty good picks regrdless.

[Neruz]

Strategy my boi, strategy.

[CobaltKobold]

Both are good to deny to the other team AND to procure for your own, I mean, making it somewhat moot.

[Neruz]

I've made a thread for MultipickMafia


Yes, both are good to deny to the other team and procure for your own. But maybe picking another role would be better...

[Leafsnail]

Both are good to deny to the other team AND to procure for your own, I mean, making it somewhat moot.

Yes, but if you think you can rely on another member of your team picking them, you might want to take another role.

[Cheddarius]

I'd suggest randomization (so theoretically every good role gets exactly 1 person from a given team) but that's crazy on small scale.

[Neruz]

The idea is to eliminate some of the randomisation and make people think a bit. Your choices have advantages and disadvantages, and for the Mafia especially, what choice they make could be very important.

It also adds a bit of fun to the mass claim

I'm considering running something with heavy flavor-text integration, which would probably end up being vaguely on the bastard side--i.e., there would some fairly simple and evident "handles to run the universe," but what they did might be somewhat nonobvious.

Would anyone be at all interested in such a game?

[Pandarsenic]

So DaKWN taken to 11- nay, taken to over 9000?

[Vector]

So DaKWN taken to 11- nay, taken to over 9000?

Hm, sort of.  The point would be to create better integration between story and game; the result would be less sandbox, and a bit more of a puzzle with story-telling involved.  The hope is that the flavortexting will not be considered a hindrance, but will instead turn into an integrated game mechanism in and of itself.  Further, roles will be generated specifically for the purpose of working well with the flavortext aspect, rather than picking from a more standard assortment.

It would be very slow-paced, naturally.

[Pandarsenic]

I'd play it.

[Cheddarius]

Oooh, puzzles? This sounds like a Mafia game I can get into.
I might try it.
