Oh yes, that's right. Around here we would say cop, so that's what I meant, but in this setup you're right it's important to make the distinction.

If you notice, in the first page, I used the word "scum" to refer to baddies in general. Not mafia. Mafia is a specific faction.

Cop finds mafia.
Seer finds wolves.
FBI finds serial killer.
Private investigator finds cult.
conspiracy theorist finds alien.
bloodhound finds town.
Really incredible setup. Can we play the next one now? Lol. Just kidding, I have work to do, but seriously I want to play another version of this ASAP.

I did not have time to make a better explained thread, unfortunately. This was pretty rushed.

It only worked because I had hosted greater idea before, so I knew the ins and outs of the roles. all the dealing with syndicate format and polls and hosting a turbo game for the first time ever was hard.

But I'm glad you guys liked it.

Also, good idea about using distinct terminology for each faction. I think I'll do that going forward instead of "mafia team 1" and "mafia team 2".

I'm sorry, we should have let you play in the sandbox first so you could get a feel. But you did a great job! I wouldn't have changed how you ran it at all.

You can play a variation too if you want.

Again, I did not design this setup. But yeah it's a good idea.

Same. I'd love to though if I had the time. Perhaps once my mafia schedule clears up a bit and I'm past a few more dissertation deadlines.

The greatest takeaway here is that JJJ regards Laconic wit as "pointless and tiny."

I had fun, sure, but that was just giving JJJ shit.

My problem with this is that the setup isn't guaranteed to be balanced, and civilian roles generally aren't useful.

For example: I searched for serial killers.

There were no serial killers in this game...

...except there were two of them, since there was no mafia BTSC, only two independent killers.

I think this would work much better if you killed the werewolf / alien factions and worked it out to where there would be a balanced Mafia / Civilian game.

As a note since I missed this earlier

I'm sure this kind of setup is meant for a lot more people

Ive been told that before

Apparently most people play it with small numbers. It was originally played in real life, with a deck of cards.

But next time I will attempt one with a lot more players.

The setup not being guaranteed to be balanced is the main draw of the whole thing though.

Or

We can play this

https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?ti ... Idea_Mafia

No serial killers, and it has a new goo faction instead of werewolves. It also seems to remove most pointless roles.
