Does the god have a nightkill?

Would the god be able to pick from the names of the powers, or just "Who do you want to target with a random power tonight?"

Would the god know what the power did after it was done?

[Ottofar]

Would the cult win with the god?

[Supercharazad]

Would the cult win with the god?

No, heretics win if both god AND town are dead.

1: No, but his demigod (if he gets one) can.

2: the god chooses a number from 1-10, the list is randomised each time, so the god chooses a target and a number, and the power assigned to said number is used.

3: Only for kill and ordinate.

Ok, here's a few ideas:

• Clue mafia. Day phase is pretty much vanilla mafia, but during the night you'll have to investigate the murder weapon and the scene of crime. ("Book, in the library, with the lead pipe.") Getting one of those wrong results in a no-lynch, and everybody gets a PM whether their proposed weapon or the SoC was wrong. ("You examine the lead pipe, and you find no indication of it having been used as the murder weapon")
• Bring somebody else's role. Pretty much self-explanatory.
• Webadict must survive! Wuba is a jester, and the others win when he lives at the end.

[Supercharazad]

So, does anyone think I should try doing a Hated God game?

[Mr.Person]

One problem is how swingy the whole game winds up being. I'm not sure how swingy is too swingy, though. And an actual game will help with balance testing.

At the very least, start writing the flavor.

[Toaster]

Super:  Why bother with the number if the list is hidden?  Just specify the target.  Unless the abilities can be reused? 

I'd at least watch it.  Let a couple people better at balancing than me look over it, then go for it- not much else in signups now.

Cult is iffy. What happens if they try to recruit the god?  Does the cult all die if the head dies?


Darvi:
1:  Seems like the town could pool information to figure it out quickly.
2:  Org put it up and filled the game, but it never started.  Could always try again.
3:  Needs more details.  Is there a mafia?  Is the requirement everyone dies but him for town to win?

[Toaster]

Also to Super:  What is the god's wincon?  What happens when the game reaches just the god and a townie?

If the cult is too much, replace it with a lyncher fixed to a townie whose win is separate from town or god.

[Darvi]

1) Eh, I'd have to tweak the rules a bit.
2) Ya, why not
3) It's like KWN, 'cept not. And a previous Wuba loses if Wuba survives, so there's at least some incentive to get him lynched.

[Supercharazad]

Also to Super:  What is the god's wincon?  What happens when the game reaches just the god and a townie?

If the cult is too much, replace it with a lyncher fixed to a townie whose win is separate from town or god.

The god needs to get the townie/heretic number down to 1, or 2 if the god gets a demigod.

Basically, the god has mafia win conditions.

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

[Darvi]

[Toaster]

Super:  Are the abilities reusable?

[Supercharazad]

Super:  Are the abilities reusable?

No. If the game SOMEHOW goes on for more than 10 days, I'll think of more powers.

[Mr.Person]

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.
