Re: Greater Idea
- Town: The uninformed majority. Members of town win the game when they eliminate every scum faction, serial killer, cult, and any role that poses a threat to their existance, or when it is impossible for that not to happen.
- Mafia: The first baddie faction. Mafia wins the game when they eliminate every faction other than themselves, or when it is impossible for that not to happen. They are allowed to kill once per night. Keep in mind that Mafia in this game is the name of one specific faction. Evil players as a whole are called scum.
- Werewolves: The second scum faction. Werewolves function the same way as the Mafia, also having one faction kill per night. But they may have different roles to pick from.
- Aliens: The third scum faction. Aliens also win the game when they eliminate every other faction in the game. But the fundamental difference is that each alien player can only kill once in the game. To balance this restriction, the alien faction automatically wins any ties that happen at the endgame.
- Independents: Any players who do not belong to specific factions. Those include Serial Killers, Cults and any other roles. They have specific winning conditions.
Be aware that there may be alignment changing roles in this game, including, but not limited to, cults.
Every role that can possibly be in the game can be found in this link:
http://bit.ly/2haXUMb
If you have any questions about any specific role, feel free to ask me, by PM or in the thread.

Re: Greater Idea
Prologue
It was a beautiful city. A normal one, seemingly, for those who would be new to it. But only those who lived in it knew the nightmare that was that place. Because that city was the stage of a war between three factions: the local mob, who wanted to control all the crime in the city; a clan of werewolves seeking human flesh; and even an alien invasion. That war took more innocent lives every day.
Until one day, the people of the city decided this had to stop. They formed a mob, and went to war for their home. But, unknown to them, members of the three factions had infiltrated that mob. And so, they would have to figure out who to trust, in order to defeat the three factions and save their city.
But first, they had to figure out who killed one of the members of their group.
Dragon D. Luffy (Vanilla Townie - 0) was found dead.

To be honest I didn't even look at the scum role other than to see that it was not blue. I wanted to be a civilian. I've been evil enough lately.

Re: Greater Idea
What if everyone rejected all the mafia rolea that they were proposed? We could all be town? This is weird.

Why would that clear her?

Do you think it's more likely -- if players were given the option of one town role and one mafia role -- that the town role would be weak/vanilla or power?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 3:27 pm Among those who we know for sure rejected a civilian role:

Re: Greater Idea
Tbh, I didn't realize I had turned down a scum role. I didn't even think to look if it were scum. I would have picked to be mafia if I knew I had the opportunity.

Re: Greater Idea
That said, as much as I would love to hunt based on information (like which role everyone threw out and guessing what that means their other role was), I'm not sure anything other than blind shots in the dark could come of it.

Re: Greater Idea
From the sign up thread:
Some information: I can't host the game if there are more than 80% or less than 40% civ/town roles.
In that case I'll have to draw them again. I promise I'll do it as fast as possible.

Re: Greater Idea
I do think it's important to keep a strong eye on Jay in any game, especially a burglary (I still have PTSD from the last one), but I'm not convinced we should vote him out this time just yet. Give it a few more minutes.

Re: Greater Idea
I think Daisy would have easily chosen to be town instead of mafia given the chance, but nonetheless I think it'd be tough for anyone to not be a mafia-aligned Dayvig (I mean, come on), so seeing that she rejected an awesome mafia power role makes me feel good enough about her.

So according to DDLs post and him not redistributing rolea, we have some civ and some mafia. But we just don't know how many.

Re: Greater Idea
Vanilla townie is my favorite role in Mafia, and yet I'd still never select it over a power role. That's a willful reduction of one's own win-chance. Do you believe Rico would do that?MovingPictures07 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 3:35 pmThat's possible, or he wanted to be vanilla town I suppose?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 3:27 pm Assertion: Rico was drawn to a "more interesting" option than the strong civilian role he rejected, which could imply a non-civilian alignment.

Re: Greater Idea
The game details stipulate that there's no guarantee of balance, so I think the game could be literally anything. There are meant to be four factions, so I don't know if it was aligned to facilitate that (but it still cannot be wholly controlled with only 7 people).

Banners are cool, but a pain to scroll through so...
I've won a lot of games. I've hosted some games. The end.

Re: Greater Idea
Well, one could assume that DDL is trying to balance the game so that if Rico wanted to be VT for some reason (didn't want the pressure, perhaps), he could select it knowing that DDL is probably taking that into consideration.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 3:40 pmVanilla townie is my favorite role in Mafia, and yet I'd still never select it over a power role. That's a willful reduction of one's own win-chance. Do you believe Rico would do that?MovingPictures07 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 3:35 pmThat's possible, or he wanted to be vanilla town I suppose?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 3:27 pm Assertion: Rico was drawn to a "more interesting" option than the strong civilian role he rejected, which could imply a non-civilian alignment.
That said, I do agree that it's dubious and, although possible, unlikely.

Re: Greater Idea
the most obvious point to do is lynch rico for discarding a powerful role, but that's probably part of his strategy and im not gonna poke him for it
