Well, there was a mechanic behind it, and it was pretty simple.

The fact that you thought it was a Bastard Mod was the point and I was hoping you'd all reveal your Role PMs, because the Mafia Daykilled using your name and your rolename. They had no vote, so I was hoping you'd either think ahead (Why would there be letters?) or that you'd all start to try and figure out what set you and others apart.

Hm, I see.  So the bastardry was really scum-wards...

Thanks for explaining.  It was an awesome idea--it's just too bad nobody figured it out.  Think you'll run another DoGM?

[RedWarrior0]

We sort of figured it out. But we had some knowledge.
Edit: And in case you wanted them:

You are the Mafia A & N.

Each member of the town has a role. Each Night, you may choose one person to investigate and learn their role.

Each Day, you are each allowed ONE Daykill. You must PM the role and name of the person you're killing. If the role is incorrect, you die instead.

Happy killings!

Your fake claims are Townie A and Townie N.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, but your votes don't count.

Probably not. I've got ideas for them, but I don't wanna run them. I like ideas where everyone's still trying, but everyone stopped so I just couldn't take it.

Which is why I want to run a Vote Mafia.

It would've been hilarious if we all fakeclaimed.

Awesome .  The vote mafias were fun, although I never got to play a whole game of one...

Darn it.  Ah, well... I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for more bastard mods from you post-Vote Mafia.  Or maybe someone else could run them, if you let them know about your ideas.

[ToonyMan]

Wrong again.   

[Apostolic Nihilist]

Eh. I tried to get town going again toward the end, but general apathy took over it seems.

Awesome idea, though. I sort of regret killing Dakarian, as I really wanted to see how this one would've ended.

Oh... But the WIFOM you created! It was glorious!

[ToonyMan]

What WIFOM?

[RedWarrior0]

Oh yeah. You guys were believing that it was activated by invoking the power of 'S'. The questioning as to what it actually was.

[ToonyMan]

I killed dakarian though.

[RedWarrior0]

No. AN and I did.

[ToonyMan]

Nah ah.

I think the tricky aspect to these games is that there's two different mindsets to dealing with them.

1. The traditional way:  Assume things work normally.  Scumhunt.  Try to win through attacking the other players.

2. The bastard way: Assume there's a puzzle.  If you play normally you will fail.  To win, you must solve the puzzle.


Thus you try to break the system in a bastard game and scumhunt in a normal game.  If a bastard turns out to play normally, though, the town falls flat: unable to figure out the puzzle that's not there, but too fearful to scumhunt in case the puzzle exists.

The other problem comes when the town is unable to figure out the puzzle but the game continues normally.
