Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

3 requests made.  Less than 2 Objections heard.  Day has ended.

Zai, Incompetent Jackie Chan Undertaker, has been lynched.

You can kill another player each night. Your target is selected randomly.  You properly bury dead players, ensuring that they can't return to life later. Trackers will see you target the dead player. You are immune to all other actions. Actions: kill

It is now Night.  Night roles, send me your choices!

You may kill another player. You show up as a Townie (town) to cops and on death, and your actions can't be detected by trackers or watchmen. If targeted, you will be disabled for the following night Actions: kill

Mr.Person, TownKill Magnet Overeager Friendly Neighbor Traitor and KING MAFIA has been killed.

If the mafia try to kill you at night, you will join the mafia as a Mafioso instead. If you are killed some other way, you still die. Town aligned Night kills have a 50% chance of being redirected to you. During the day, you can make someone your friend. That player will be told your alignment. If you don't use an action at day, you will target a random player. Actions: (day)friend

What the heck just happened...

And what the heck did Mr.Person choose as his role anyway?  His role looked horrifically useless.

He chose Friendly Neighbor. Perhaps I'll find a way to make this better.

I didn't realize we'd just be random lynching, though...

Yeah, I was going to say that the way things are going seems rather... not-so-good for this game.  I almost feel like a game of this sort would work best with a Mountainous setting.  Speaking as the Webadict from KWN: DE, there ends up being far too much role-anxiety going on along with trying to kill off 6 other people by yourself.

A behavioral-based game would likely work better in the spirit of the King of the Mafia concept.  The super-fast thing we have going here just looks like some vague bastardization of IRC.

Well, actually, noone's won yet.  The only way to win is by being the mafia king and winning.  The prize we get is another shot at being the king.

I'm not saying that anyone's won.  I'm just thinking about how the spirit of this game might be better "catered to."

Oh, dammit >_>  Note to self: pay more attention to what is going on when caffeinated.  Sorry about that, then.

Meh.  I meant to write down what the requested roles were:

CobaltKobold: Jester (that's why she ended up Suicidal.  Even warned her of it)
Mr.Person: Traitor (similar situation)
Webadict: Ninja
Zai: Jackie Chan

As for the roles: I'm not sure about making it mountainous.  The game is meant to be faster than usual and is meant to end up with lots of dead Kings.  If it's mountainous, I can seriously see the King winning first day given how non-role heavy games run down.

I could always just give random single roles and let it run like that.  That'll keep everyone from going mass killer or trying to game the system (Jester?  Traitor?  MEH!!)

Yeah, but I can also see how a role-heavy game would run down extremely quickly.  Mostly... well, I don't know.  I don't feel like the super-short game days are going to make this anywhere near winnable, and "lots of dead kings" will only happen if you can get really high interest.  If you can't convince people that they want to play the game over and over and over again, then you're going to be in trouble.

Ultimately, I'm rethinking the game idea and realizing that as a long-term thing, it's inherently broken and I see no way to fix it.
