Third Party 2 - Game Over: Cult Wins... I guess
« on: August 30, 2010, 01:43:21 pm »

Eight different parties: Town, Mafia, SK, Survivor, Mafia-ally, Cult, Jester, Lyncher.
Eight slightly different win conditions.

You've got to think fast, lie, and make the right decisions to win. Team up. Do anything to win.

Rules:
No NO LYNCHing. If there is an unbreakable tie (For various reasons), the game will move straight to Night. This probably won't happen, since I don't see how there could be an unbreakable tie.
PMing IS NOT ALLOWED! It ruined last game.
No quoting the Mod.
Days: Semi-Hammer/72-Hour Days, 24-Hour Nights, Weekends count for 0. This might need to be changed to Hammers Only.

Each party will have a 1-use Inspect. The Lyncher is ALWAYS set to the Town. If the Town is killed/recruited, then the Lyncher becomes Town. The Cult cannot recruit the Mafia or the SK. Alignments are revealed on death. When any Party satisfies their Win Conditions, the Win Conditions of each Party are checked.

And, most roles can't win when they're dead! Ready?

Win Conditions/Party Descriptions:
Quote
Townie
You win when the Mafia, SK, and Cult are gone and your team outnumbers or equals the remaining players.

Lyncher
You win when your target (Townie) is lynched and you are alive. If your target is killed or recruited, you will become Town.

Mafioso
Each Night, you may choose to kill somebody.
You win when the SK is dead and you outnumber or equal the remaining players. If the Survivor and Mafia-ally and you are the sole survivors, you win as well.

Mafia-Ally
You win when the Mafia wins, regardless of being alive OR if the Mafioso dies and you are the sole survivor.

SK
Each Night, you may choose to kill somebody.
You win when the Mafioso is dead and you outnumber or equal the remaining players OR if all players are dead.

Survivor
You win when any win condition is satisfied and you are alive OR you are the sole survivor.

Jester
You win when you are lynched.

Cult
Each Night, you may recruit someone other than the SK or Mafioso to your cult. If you die, everyone in your cult dies.
You win when the Mafioso and SK are dead and your team outnumbers or equals the remaining players.

NOTE: Sole survivor DOES NOT include the Survivor.

I wouldn't go so far as to say ruined, I won after all... :)

I'll in.  It's an interesting setup.

Okay, just checking =)  That's fair.

I'll probably in.  Need to make sure I'm caught up on other stuff first, though.

I'll in if you'll have me.

Does the cult die if attempting to recruit the SK/mafia?  Will the lyncher know if the townie is recruited?

God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

The Cult fails the recruiting if they target SK or Mafia. The Lyncher will know because they'll change to Townie right afterward.

So a win halts the game, or can you have Jester, Lyncher, Survivor, Mafia-Ally, and Mafia win? (Lynch Jester or Town, kills go to Cult and SK, lynch the other of Jester or Town, lyncher leaves game with victory, Survivor/mafia/mafia-ally are only remaining players, win.) Clearly it does, or Survivor wouldn't read that way.

Something is odd, I think- you can have joint Survivor-SK victory.

Is the inspect[1] usable alongside kill or recruit? I don't see that much value in it for those people.

Yes, you can have an SK-Survivor win. The Survivor is allowed to win with any other person, lest it get too obtrusive (I could disallow certain wins, like Survivor + SK) but it seems fairly balanced so far (in that Survivor is the most likely to win.)

The inspect can be used any time, during Night or Day, and can be used along with a kill or recruit.

By the way, your situation would have a Lyncher + Survivor win only, as the Lyncher is still alive. A Jester being alive during the Day with the Mafia allows for a Jester + Mafia win, as the Jester would force a lynch on himself. However, if it moves into Night, the Mafia could simply kill him... to be a jerk. A really big jerk.

Non-halt on win would be an interesting variant, then.

Yes, but then it gets really easy for the everyone but the Cult, Townie, and SK/Mafia fight that goes on.

Survivor isn't the easiest win, the serial killer is. Any situation where the survivor would win, the serial killer would also win... except that the sk doesn't have to dodge the sk kill. Unlike the mafia, though, the sk will ALSO win if he gets down to 3p and isn't lynched.

The only downside is he can't join the cult.

In. I screwed up the last one, I can screw this one up as well! Hopefully I'll be a jester again, being jester sucks.

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