Actually, there is something of a breaking strategy I can see... heh.

It's definitely more interesting as a thought experiment than as an actual game though.

For which side? Individually or not?

[Leafsnail]

Well, I can work out a way of guranteeing that you lynch both werewolves by the end of day 3.  And that the town will choose who these two losers are.

[Heliman]

I've been thinking about a "4 Rooms with a TV" mafia game, played almost entirely in Quicktopic. The general concept is that all the players are thrown into various rooms every once in awhile and can't talk to players that are not in the room they are in. The entire crux of playing town successfully will be trying to deal with a constant denial of information, and the crux to playing scum is to play upon that advantage like violinists on a violin. Roles are given out by the traditional F11 distributions, with 8 extra town and one goon tacked on to balance the advantage scum has. I also ran into the problem of players being stranded as only one of a few players in a room, so I made the days into multiple segments, gave each room a special ability when there are few players in it, and had the rooms be periodically destroyed to keep things somewhat crowded.


General Rules

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

• Roles are distributed randomly and are weighted according to the standard F11 setup, with 8 townies and one goon added for balance.
• There are 4 rooms and 18 players. Players are randomly distributed into rooms at the beginning.
• Players cannot see the posts of players that are not in their rooms unless otherwise stated.
• Players are randomly redistributed into different rooms every 48 hours called "segments." There are 3 segments every day, at the end of which the player with the most votes is lynched.
• Every two days, one room is destroyed in order of greatest number (4, then 3, then 2), Room 1 cannot be destroyed.
• Unless otherwise stated, Players are informed of what room other players are sent.
• Scum share their own room where they can talk at will, regardless of other room restrictions. Scum can choose which room they will be sent before entering before each segment. Failure to PM the mod will result in the Scum being sent to a random room.
• Players cannot see the posts that occurred in a room before they were there (Note, this does not mean that players can't revisit the posts of the rooms they were in previously.)
• Unless otherwise stated, a lynch count will be posted in every room approximately every 12 hours.

Every room has it's own specialty, with a special power depending on the amount of people in a room.

Room 1, The TV room

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This Room is the room in the TV! Everyone can see you, even you can see you. Seeing you. Seeing you. Seeing you.
Ok, now you have a headache. Stupid TV room.

This room is contained within our own mafia forum, Any player may view it but only players assigned to this room my post in it. (IE looking at the television in their room)
SPECIAL: No special, how special!

Room 2, The Record room

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The walls are covered in scribbles of the others. So creepy... yet... you must... scratch with them...

In this room, Players can see all the posts that were made in previous segments of this room.
SPECIAL: (Players<2) Oh hey, there's a remote on the TV! Who knew that this thing had different channels? (You can view others discussing in all the other rooms for this segment)

Room 3, The Echo Room

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Every time someone speaks the room echoes the words over and over again, each time you speak you have to raise your voice higher and higher every time just to be heard and GODDAMMIT EVERYONE STOP TALKING, I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK!

(In this room, there is a set amount of posts that can be made before the room is locked, equal to the amount of players times 15.)
SPECIAL: (Players=1) Wow it's so Quiet now now now, I can even hear the echos from the last group group group. (You can view all the past posts in this room)

Room 4, The Dark Room

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This room is unbearably dark, You can't even see the board that tallies the votes! The is only the light of the television, and the shine in the greedy eyes of your new roommates

In this room, You cannot see where the other players are sent that are not in the room or who they vote.
SPECIAL: (Players<2, So very dark... (The television goes off, with absolutely no light, the players eventually go insane and kill each other/commit suicide.)

[Pandarsenic]

Sounds difficult but fun.

[Supercharazad]

New game type I thought of: Fake

5 players, one is scum.
The only roles are Townie and Mafia (AKA, Normal and Fake)
The game lasts one week, during which time, all players try to figure out the fake
At the end of the game, all people are asked to vote, if the fake is voted, normals win, otherwise, fake wins.
There is no night, but the entire game is a single day.

Basically, it's like normal mafia, except that you only vote at the end, and win conditions are slightly different.

[Toaster]

Let's break that wide open:

Never look at your role PM and play townie.

[Supercharazad]

Let's break that wide open:

Never look at your role PM and play townie.

But you need to read your role PM in any mafia game anyways. That's a flaw in EVERY mafia game.

[Darvi]

Uh, no. You can't use role abilities or Mafia kills if you don't read the PM's.

[Heliman]

But he can't kill, there is no night.

[Darvi]

Which brings us back to Toaster's point.

[webadict]

This is the same as One Lynch. Except with no Night.

I think I want to run a Third Party Mafia with 11 parties. Maybe 12 if I can get the Assassin (you win if PLAYER is killed). It's like Lyncher, but less control, as they have no kill. But it aligns well with Lyncher/Jester side for Assassin/Martyr. Whether it makes it more difficult though... Who knows? I think the target would be the Town, but if the Town was lynched, then the Assassin turns Town.

Just making third party less playable.

[Leafsnail]

Another player is randomly selected as the king (in addition to any of their other alignments).  Everyone except the assassin knows who the king is.  The assassin gets one kill which he can either use in the day or after being lynched ("Vengekill").  If he hits, he wins.  If he misses, he loses.

...Yeah, that would just be ridiculous.  Trying to deal with an assassin and lyncher and jester at the same time would be hell.

[Mr.Person]

I think that's the point, Leafsnail.

[Toaster]

Pre-in for that one.  Don't lynch Person- he's the Jester.
