Why would you take it if that's the only way you'd lose?

If it scares people into posting, then yes.

If they end up lynched because they didn't post, oh well. Too bad for them. Maybe they should've tried posting.

5 players. 1 Devil from Supernatural that only offers inspects. 2 souls required for win, but he doesn't win until the end of the day after (so the Town gets a chance to lynch him). The goal of the town is to lynch the Devil before he gets his souls. The setup could be extended to have 2 Devils cooperating, more players, and/or more souls required.

This setup is ridiculously breakable.

Devil offers deal to townie -> Townie claims inspect result on following day. If devil, lynch devil. If no counterclaim, two confirmed townies. Everybody else agrees to refuse deals, they lynch their way to victory. If the devil does counterclaim, townies agree to refuse any deals, then they lynch both claimants.

If the Devil tries to win there is no way the town can lose.

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

Yeah, I can see the problem with that.

Perhaps some kind of kill? Person dies immediately... Eh, the game would be far too fast. Person dying at the end of the next day could be workable...

Hmm...

Oh, what if you had two Devils cooperating instead, who have the "deal" as a team ability?

Anyone willing to replace into Supernatural 4? I'd really like to end the game without anyone missing.

Yeah, kinda needs to be someone who wasn't already in the game.

As long as you can be reasonably active for the day phase, that would be great.

I was thinking about running a simple (as in common roles only,no bastard mod and special rules game + guaranteed to NOT have a cult :P) game for 9 players. Is it good time for that or it would be waste of time ? Also somebody want to check if it's balanced :) ?

Hmmm. Lots of games in sign-ups right now, although a simple game might get some traction. Especially since 6 people just got eliminated from Supernatural.

You can send the set-up to me to review if you want.

I got the idea to make something like that because every active right now game could be described as "non-standard" and i missed beginner's mafia sing-ups :P Alright i'm sending it for review.

Do a straight vanilla/nearly-mountainous.  Those are always extremely popular.

Bluh, im dissapointed that Confusion Mafia isn't getting off the ground. I should probally just start with GMing a simple game first, instead of a bastard mod that doesn't tell anyone whats going to happen in the game.
