This will be a semi-open, flavorless game. It is inspired by the All-Stars Mafia rules with some slight variantions.

The "open" part refers to the fact that all roles and the way they work are public information. The "semi" comes in the form of no role flips (alignments will be announced).



The Roles List:

Parity Cop - As someone almost as handsome and talanted as me once said - the best type of cop!
Can investigate another player each night and get an alignment comparison between that player and the player who was investigated during the previous night.

Gimped Doctor - Can protect another player (as in "can't protect self") each night but has to alternate.

Vigilante - Can shoot one other player during the night. One-time ability.

Townie - Is a non-badass Jon Snow. Knows nothing.

Goon - Knows their buddies. Can kill during the night.

The setup with 10 players will have 2 Mafia vs 8 Town.

The Win Conditions:

The Town team wins when they take out the entire Mafia team.

The Mafia team wins whenever their numbers become equal or greater than Town's.



The Kicker:

The Mafia starts with extended kill power which means they can hit two people per night. They can also choose to double tap one person which would negate a potential Doctor protection.
The Mafia has extended kill power as long as the following requirement is met:

Mafia + 3 <= Town

This means the Mafia has extended kill power as long as they CANNOT win by taking two people out.

Special rule: If there is only one Goon left and the extended kill power requirement is not met, that Goon automatically gains the ability of double-tapping (their kill negates a potential Doctor protection).

The Day-Night Cycle:

The game will start with N0 during which the Parity Cop can investigate someone.

The game Day will be 6 RL days long at first but this will decrease over time based on a super secret and very mysterious algorithm that will not be disclosed (I most certainly won't wing it, no sir. Shut up!!).

The Night will be 3 RL days long at all times.

I am in. =) meow

I have a cat.

He has an Instagram.

Perhaps I should play.

I think you should play.

Cats are awesome. I think you will be one to understand my kitties names: Rum Coke Bacardi Pepsi and Kahlua =P

I have four cats so I must play!

The condition has to be met before the kill. I had an error in the formula (reversed the comparison sign).

Example:

2 Mafia vs 6 Town

2 Mafia + 3 < 6 Town

Killing 2 Townies at once will result in 2 Mafia vs 4 Town, hence the game continue.

The night after though the condition is no longer met.

2 Mafia + 3 > 4 Town

If the Mafia kills twice they will win so they don't have the extended kill power any longer.

Sign me up!

Ha, I wondered if there was something wrong - my quick calculations led to a tad too many Goons starting in the game for the condition to be true before the kill, so I thought perhaps it was after, though it didn't make much sense to me. And this sounds like we have less than 3 Goons in the 10 players setup...



On a side note, I'm not sure decreasing the length of game-days under 4 calendar days is a good idea. Why do you want to make them shorter?

I missed that part as well. With 10 we'll have 2 Mafia. I'll amend the post. It makes sense for longer days when there are more people to participate initially. Once that number starts going down it will become tedious for the majority of the involved people if not for everyone. It also keeps the game fresh and engaging. Don't worry too much, though. That number won't decrease that often and it won't go lower than 2 days in the most extreme case.

Dontdoitdontdoitdontdoityoudonthavetime

I'm in.

Maybe make the game 5 RL days on Monday through Friday and the night phase on Saturday and Sunday :)


Edit, but this would only work at the start of the game.

2 calendar days can get pretty tight for one's participation, especially if their regular schedule gets thrown out of balance for some reason. Let's not forget that coming weekend is Easter, hence this week may well be busier for people in preparation for it.

But D3 could well be LyLo, so yeah, why worry too much? ;-P



For that to work, the game would have to start after Easter, Holly Saturday for N0. Not sure that's how dedoporno has planned things, or even a good idea (mostly regarding N0).



And why are we no longer on the players list?

*sulks in corner*

Don't stress yourself too much, we'll figure it o... I mean, there is that very complex algorithm, remember? It's all good, it's all good.

Orthodox Easter Holidays (14 - 17 April) is something we'll have to figure out together. Not sure if everyone shares these dates so lets plan the game accordingly.


I don't like it when people talk back to me!

Those little grey cells are trying to figure out that complex algorithm.


Not just Orthodox Easter this year. ;-)
