Yeah it could be an awesome role, but a little motivation can't hurt. Like he can't make too many cases, fail or good, becasue it will draw a target on him. He can't buddy up too much for the same reason, especially with BTS civs. If I was a civ in this game, i would be looking for Hal.
I love the concept of this role, and look forward to seeing what you do with it, even just leave it as it is, and see how it plays out.

Re: Mechanical Mafia
I might have made Hal9000s power a secret. But the psycho supercomputer is out of the bag so 
Maybe he can have a cookie? Say every night he submits a name to the host, and if thats who the baddies kill, his vote is worth two the next day? Or if he gets 3 correct guesses he gets a night save, or a lynch stop? Something along those lines? That could be a fun role to play with.

Re: Mechanical Mafia
Made here is the info about his forum:
It is rather different from your game in some ways, but some elements are similar. I am looking forward to this; I would imagine that, unusual mechanics aside, you would be an amazing & imaginative host.timmer wrote:I'm running a mafia game on an Academy Awards/movies site: awardswatch.com/forums. It's theme is "Films of 2014" and I need a sub.
the thing is, before you jump in, know that they play mafia in reverse.
You do NOt know the roles. You ARE allowed, and are often expected, to infodump.
Knowing when and how to reveal your info is part of the art of this style of mafia.
Not knowing the roles, the mafia has to wait to see what the townies start to hint at about their roles and then try to lie about theirs, as once the mafia's theme is revealed when one dies, the rest would get screwed if they had used their real roles.
Anyway, let me know ASAP if you are interested and I'll parachute you right in! We don't normally let brand new members play to avoid cheating by members etc. but I would obviously personally vouch for you, and it's my game anyway
Oh, and one last bit of color... there are some post restrictions out there. Let's just say that one guy is Groot. All he can ever say, the entire game, is "I am Groot".

Re: Mechanical Mafia
Where Timmer originally played, they also allowed info & role claiming. Indeed, it was an integral game mechanic. So if you need tips or ideas on how to make it work, Timmer might be the guy to talk to. I know he ran two games like that at RM, they were called Liars Club, should you wish to take a look at them.
