I could run a 5p Kingmaker, if anyone's interested.

No PRs. Just one Assassin and one Kingmaker.

I just realized that for fast-paced vanilla games, you could make a "mod" account. For games like Vengeful, there is no need for a mod account, since there is no night kills. Vanilla games would have one for the mafia to post who's killed, and a kingmaker game could have one for the scum and one for the kingmaker.

Basically, so long as there is no doctor, cop (Well, sort of - you could PM the player from a cop account), roleblocker, or some other hidden modifier in games, games could essentially be "player-modded." There would be one player to set up roles (Which is easy, since it's an open set-up), but otherwise it'd be simple.

How's it sound?

There would have to be some sort of random method to distributing roles. Not that I don't trust you guys, but I don't even want there to be a chance of cheating.

Seems unwieldy, as we're talking multiple accounts (given multiple roles/factions) per game, and there could be concurrent games. Plus I believe Toady frowns at multiaccounts and that kind of thing (The Overseer gets away with it, I think, because it's just one and seldom used). It could work, but I can't quite picture how.

Plus, the mod's job is not just handing out roles and kills, it's the flavour, man! We needs moar flavour!

The roles would be randomly assigned, of course.

The accounts would be re-used or used for multiple games, certainly. I'm simply saying that for small vanilla games, this could be an easy way to play without having to wait for a mod.

And yes, the flavor would be gone. Sad, but true.

I see what you did there.

[GlyphGryph]

To be honest, I think The Overseer gets a free pass because Toady doesn't know. Considering he's a crucial aspect to most of my games, I hope both that no one abuses him *glares a few posts up* and that I don't end up getting in trouble for it.

I am making some rules for a new mafia type. Based off the sci-fi game Paranoia.
Should be fun.

[Toaster]

You mean this Paranoia?

If so, color me interested.

Yeah.

So many things I can add. 0_0

Hmm... recently, I've began to feel that we're just too wordy in our games.  I mean, our posts and threads bloat to ridiculous proportions.

So how about a game with a word/ post limit per person per day on it?  Could be interesting to see if we can be more to the point.

Vector disapproval enormous.
