Semi-open setup to be expanded upon when I have time
Entirely pseudo-scientific and entirely theatric
All similarities to Turf Wars purely incidental
Prisoners ~ Uninformed majority
~ Aware of all researcher identities
~ Win by successfully removing [voting out/eliminating] the guards from their positions of power
~ Possible prisoner identification numbers listed below
Guards ~ Informed minority
~ May engage in behind-the-scenes communication during all game phases
~ Aware of all researcher identies
~ Psychologically break [kill] one prisoner every night
~ Win by breaking enough prisoners that they are outnumbered or equaled by guards (standard parity win condition for mafia)
~ Provided with fake/safe claims
Researchers ~ Completely informed minority
~ May engage in behind-the-scenes communication during all game phases
~ Aware of all guard and prisoner identities
~ The game will not be a typical "Mafia" experience for these four players, full disclosure
~ Participation in the game thread subject to significant restrictions
~ Players who would prefer not to have such a role may request that in the poll
~ Win the game individually by secret means
~ If numbers need to be reduced, I will likely start here

Nobody defines "bastard" the same way. I don't intend it as a "bastard game". It will have some subtle non-standard elements by way of the researchers, but for everyone else it will be a generally standard experience. With wrinkles.

oh wow this game looks like one of those games that will live in infamy be legendary, like Inception Mafia and Escape from Sockville Penitentiary or any other number of games that are years old that we still talk about today. I volunteer to be one of the mods so I can see this go down up close!

Sometimes it will naturally come out, but it can be contained if we just remember that this is a game on a message board forum that 99.99% of the population of the Earth has never heard of before. No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

I will be modding as well

I'll give this some time to see how the researcher thing is looking for the crowd. Some folks might be signing up with the belief that they can get a researcher role, so I don't quite want to set the precedent yet that they can be hand-selected. But I won't say it's out of the question either.

hello. this sounds interesting. think I might can in. depends on date it should start and times for sod/eod.
@Timsup2nothin @MacDougall I am hoping you two might could sign up too. ♡

wait @Scotty @MartinGG99 you guys signed up as replacer?
but we has to play this! ♡♡
I can only be a replacement, and even then that might not be possible depending on timing. Unfortunately this month (particularly around the weekends) I have quite a bit of studying to do; especially since one of my courses is an excel class that has only 7 weeks to learn and prepare for the microsoft exam which only gives 1 minute and 15 seconds for each task. Not to mention, my 4 other courses as well some of which have significant projects due on the last week of September or first week of October.

The only notable "solving" I've done publicly has managed to kill someone who had the same power role and alignment as me.
If that doesn't make a mockery of my confidence in my solving then I don't know what will.

Would be great to have you Daisy. I hope to finally update the first post with role information in the next week. The game may still be a ways off.

I'm sorry everyone, but I find myself overwhelmed with a workload I did not entirely anticipate. I don't think I will be able to run this game in the near future as I had expected. I will give this a day or two so everyone can see this message, but then I will remove the game from sign-ups.

Does the next Job go into signups then?
Yeah it's usually how it happens. Though I'm sure JJJ will leave this here for a couple days so players know what's going on, then we'll go through the queue to find the next ready/available host.
