The Syndicate

I know this thread is old but I've been working on a similar project to this. I called it "Bi-Universe".

So here is the gist of how it would work. (Player list: 34 players)

Bi-Universe are two mafia games played simultaneously where members of both mafia teams know each other's identities and roles, and members of the town are unaware of identities but know the roles that are present in both universes, just not which ones are in a specific universe. Player list for each game will be randomized from the sign ups list. Alignment and Roles will also be assigned randomly. This means that a full list of all roles present in both games will be listed in both OPs.

Why is this important? Because members of one universe can trade roles with members of the other unless they are dead.

Universe 1 Mafia can send two messages to Universe 2 Mafia per night through the host and vice versa.

Town obviously cannot communicate with any member but four members (randomly selected by the host) may initiate a trade of roles with four members from the other universe through the host. These trades happen automatically and no one can refuse the trade.

If Town attempts to trade with mafia, it will fail (meaning, it’s a red check).
If the mafia attempts to trade with town or mafia from the other universe, it will be successful.
Trades count as visits.

Town win when they have eliminated all threats from both universes.
Mafia wins when they reach parity with Town in both universes.
Otherwise the game will be considered a draw.

Post limits are in place. A maximum of 200 posts per player will be imposed in both games which will never be lifted.

No player is required to follow the other game to play theirs but it is recommended.

Trades stop the moment one of the two universes complete their game, leaving the other universe locked in with the roles they already have.

The game is considered role madness and due to the nature of the trade system, it is considered bastard.

Mafia alignments Cannot Multitask (except for trading).
