Dating sim mafia.

I am in support, particularly considering the surprising lack of all those silly Lovers setups over here.

[ToonyMan]

I should try thinking how that would work today.  I do want to host a game at some point that isn't KotM4...

[Vector]

Dude, I've been hoping for another Toon Mafia for a long time now.  Yes, please?

[ToonyMan]

Okay, I'll keep it closed set-up then.

[Griffionday]

Already totally want in.

[ToonyMan]

Okay the OP is pretty much entirely made.  I still need to balance and figure out more roles, but the basic premise is almost set in stone.  I can't really disclose anything in this thread though.

There's three games running right now, and like three in sign-ups.  I would like to start this before KotM4 although it's likely I'll have to dual-host if it turns out to be really long, which I don't really mind.

[Okami No Rei]

Why the rush to start KotM4?  Is your crown weighing you down already?

[Hapah]

Toony just wants to give me a shot at REDEMPTION. I still can't believe I flubbed the game that bad. ~__~

Not really, it should be by the end of the summer though at least.  The gap between the previous KotM was like half a year and I'd rather it be a quarter to fit seasons.  So sometimes during the summer sounds good.

I'd really rather prefer to host TM7 first too though and that'll at least add some time.

I have an interesting idea that I have been floating about in my head. It's not likely to spawn a new gametype or anything, but it's interesting idea nonetheless and I want to know what others think.

What if there was an attribute called "Old" or "Cursed" that causes the player who has it to die automatically on the Xth Night. Only they know that they will die on the Xth night, regardless of any protection or doctors visits.

Being doomed to die an inevitiable death, how do you think this would effect the mindset of the player?

[Leafsnail]

There was actually a role like that on mafiascum recently and everybody hated it.  That might be partly because it was mafia and also caused the nightphase to be skipped if lynched.

[Captain Ford]

A town version might be more interesting. It would be practically the definition of the word "expendable". His best strategy would be trying to absorb a nightkill for the team.

...I wonder what other interesting wincons you could give that kind of role. Or powers.

I think combining that property with a vig would be kind of fun.

[birdy51]

Indeed!

Having it on a mafia member would be a bit counter intuitive, the scum will always be slated to die so there is no use in speeding it up. But on a Townie, the implications can go a bit deeper... Especially if it is an Old Cop or as you said, a Vig. They are going to die eventually unless they win quickly, so it would give them much more reason to be aggressive scum hunters.

Also, I probably should have guessed that I am not by any means the first to consider this idea. Still, it might make for an interesting flavor to have characters dying of old age as the game goes on.

Which leads me to a new thought... What if the player is told that they will die old age, but they aren't told which day?

Or if they are told they are Old, but they aren't actually slated to die of Old Age until Turn 15, making the idea that they old completely pointless!

My sideburns are itchy in maniacal thoughts...

[RangerCado]

hmm. Town role. Will die Night 3 after all actions are taken. Immune to NK's. If inspected, message: Doomed to die, appears. If lynched, all actions during the night hit random targets, no matter what the action was.

[webadict]

These sound just like anti-fun roles. It sounds good in theory, but it doesn't work well in practice. You just feel less useful than others, which defeats the purpose of the game.
