Man, I have got to finalize one of my superhero-y setups.

A weird role might be: you may misdirect on even nights, block on odd nights. Once per game, you may instead make yourself a double voter. A very weird role might be: You are a power broker. Each night invent a power to give to another player - but if they accept the power, they must give you something of value that you demand, such as you steal their vote for the next phase or you get to raise your vote threshold by 1 permanently at the expense of their voting threshold permanently lowering by 1.

Shouldn't be a problem I think.

That's quite alright. The setup will be such that it shouldn't matter. Speaking of that:

This will be a semi-open setup, merging the visibility of traditional Syndicate games with the claim-friendly environment of HCR games. By "semi-open", I mean there will be more roles listed than players participating -- you'll know what roles can be in the game, but not what roles are in the game.

Intriguing! That'll be neat.

Yeah, I'm a YUGE believer in roleplaying in mafia games, which really got me into them in the first place. (Don't believe me, just look at my posts when I was Blasto in HCRealms mafia game...)

So we figured this could allow people to have some fun with things.
