You know what might be cool? Tweaking it so it's two gods facing off, manipulating a population at their whims

If you did that, make the rest of the game survivors and tweak a lot of the abilities to be conversion-type stuff. Course now we're talking an entirely different kind of game, so save all that for another day.

One general thing: giving protection to another player is both boring and weak. Considering that most kills are going to come from the god either directly or indirectly, it won't matter unless the god happens to pick a player an earlier serial killer also chose. I'd make it a roleblock+protection at the very least to help make it less situational.

Considering that if the god wanted to protect someone (which they don't!), they'd be just as likely to kill the person.
The powers are random, the god just picks a player to target, and a random power is applied.

Crazy, but possibly doable idea: Nomic Mafia.  Start with everyone having a powerless role, and extremely simple rules.  Let people vote on rules to add/remove.  Chaos ensues.

[Vector]

Ooh, look up LCS and see how that went!

[Heliman]

Hmm,

I'm not experienced at all at mafia, but what about "Anonafia?"
It would run essentially as a vanilla Game, but you have no idea what the other player's names are, because everyone uses numbered accounts supplied by the Mod (I.E. player1, player2, player3, etc.)
The actual player's names would be listed in the beginning, but they would be given their numbered names in secret.
You could make a good game component out of having players guess the names of others to gain their voting rights, at the risk of losing their own.

I've actually wanted to run that kind of game in the past, but I highly doubt Toady will allow 13+ public accounts. I didn't even feel like asking, to be honest.

[Toaster]

He's pretty against multiple accounts.  A similar idea was tried in another game (with one anonymous account a couple people had access to) and that account got deleted.

[Leafsnail]

Plus you can work a lot of it out from when people log on.

Not to mention posting styles, spelling, grammar, sentence structure, etc.

Well, that's supposed to be one of the points, actually. It doesn't help to determine alignment, though, so there's not much point. Well, unless you want to get meta reads, then you have a good reason.

But anyways, another problem would be that a LOT of players would be super easy to pick out from the group. Even with a silly name, Org will be Org.

And with anonymity, players can imitate Org.

[IronyOwl]

I realize it wouldn't quite be the same, but you could probably run such a thing in a quicktopic or similar.

Of course, then you'd still have people entering their B12 name on accident and whatnot, but still.

[Heliman]

Bah, Same as making an obvious scumtell.
Good idea with the Quicktopic, though.

Much offense meant, but why would anybody WANT to be like Org?
