Out of curiousity, has there ever been a mafia with third party players only, excluding bastard paranormal 3?

The closest I've seen was Toon Mafia 7 which had majority 3rd party players. Town still won.

I think what you're looking for is "Religion Mafia" (1, 2), which can boil down to "de facto survivors vs. cult", with some other third-parties that could spawn in as well.

These two setups are somewhat close though...

- Third-Party Mafia (though there is a genuine Mafia team and a Vanilla Townie, most of the roles are traditional third-party roles, and you can argue the Mafia and the Townie are also "third-party" as well in this setup...)  - 1, 2, 3

- Third-World Mafia - only one Townie vigilante and everyone else belongs to rival Mafia groups - the Townie was at a disadvantage though so I wish I had given him more power.

I'm sure there's been several, but the only one I can think of is BYOR 13, which had no scum team, but 5 SKs.

A couple Roguelikes did.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

10-11 player games, to me, are a great number for experimental gametypes.  9 and 12-13 are obvious for 2/3 scum, but I've always felt that 10 and 11 were hard to balance.  Ergo, ripe for experimentation.

Currently we have no active games. I think I'm going to develop a mini setup some more in the setups thread, and then I can run that before Tomasque does his build-someone-else's-role mafia.

(Skynet's Seduction is finally in signups, at least.)

Exquisite Cops and Robbers II is in signups. It's like the first one, but more balanced.

I would like to mention that I'm enjoying the more experimental flavor of recent games on Bay.

I finally thought of a Good (at the very least, definitely different?) idea for a game with new flavor/mechanics. I'm going to keep developing it for a bit and think about How Many Characters, etc., but I am delighted to be able to say that I actually have something.

Roseheart vanilla is still on my radar. But I'll just open an early signup when I'm ready so people feel free to go ahead if I haven't done that. :)

Meph: Skynet's Seduction has ended.

What's the next big game?

(I'll probably run something small and experimental pretty soon, to help fill the void.)

Either NQT or Rose is up next.

Toramasque's game should have reached the Baking stage.

Doesn't look like Rose intends to put theirs up yet, so it'll probably be NQT and his absurd setup. Could be fun, though.

Toramasque's game should have reached the Baking stage.
Should start pretty soon, by my estimation.



Are there any preferences to the types of mini-setup people would like to see? To avoid getting in the way of the bigger ones, the most players I'll go up to is 7. I'm wondering if a Fallacy implementation of Wuba's classic Vote Mafia would go well.
