M??? Black Death

Spoiler: show

The plague is a highly infectious decease which can infect players. The infected player will die the night after they were infected unless they are cured in time. If the infected player gets visited, the visitor will also catch the plague. The abilities of the Hypnotiser, Doctor and sheriff all count as visits aswell as the Vigilante's ability if the kill fails. Every death caused by the plague will be revealed with a black cardflip colour.

---

The Mafia: Wins by outnumbering or equaling the town and killing the 3rd party.

Hypnotiser: Can try to hypnotize a player once a game. The hypnotiser will learn the exact role of the player. He also gains the ability to use any possible ability the target may have according to his own will
Silencer: Can mute a player each night. If they do say anything during the next day phase, they die immediately. The targets are aware they were muted. The Silencer is immune to the plague.
Corruptor: Can turn immunes into regular townspeople, allowing them to infected
Nomad: Due to years of living on his own, he is able to defend himself quite easily. Cannot be nightkilled.



The Town: Wins by killing the Mafia and the Plague Doctor

Doctor: The Doctor can protect a player from death and infection every night. He can also cure a player of the plague every day, if the target doesnt have the plague, nothing happens.
Sheriff: May inspect a player each night to learn their colour.
Vigilante: Can kill a player each night. if the vigilante kills a player aligned with the town he will not be able to kill the night after.
Doublevoter: A regular townie with a double lynchvote.

Townsperson:
Townsperson:
Townsperson:
Immune: Cannot be infected by the plague.

Carrier: Thinks he is a normal townie, he can distribute the plague but not die from it.



3rd Party: Wins by killing or infecting everyone else.

Plague Doctor:
Can infect someone with the plague each night. The plague Doctor is Immune to both the plague and nightkilling.
The Plague Doctor's lynch vote also counts double, making him able to get rid of those pesky immunes.

Since I really wanna improve I'd appreciate feedback and critique a lot.

The fact that the plague deaths cardflip black makes it really hard, if not impossible to win for the town. Keep in mind that their only reliable source of info is the sherrif who is infected on contact with another infected. Theoretically speaking it could become impossible for the town to learn any new info aside from their own deaths after night 2.

[Cedur]

The idea is really nice yet unbalanced in this form. Aside from Waddle Derp's point the Hypnotiser is OP, and I'd say the town also needs one more blue or immune.

[Thehelmetguy1]

Yeah, it is too unbalanced, some changes should be made.

Okay, thanks for finding the game, I had take about three minutes to find it upon you quoting it, so thank you. It seems like a nice concept, and it looks fun to play. Seems a bit unbalanced due to the black cardflip. If the game also had role flip, then it would be a little better just to distinguish the reason, but that would also ruin the point of the carrier being FF0000 if you ask me. The Hypnotiser could be powerful if they use their ability on the right person though.

[Doesntpostverymuch]

when did this change from killing as in getting expelled then then metaphorically being killed by your parents to actual killing?

[PersonNamedUser]

Which do you prefer? This one or the wizard one?

be nightkilled, and you flipped as green unlike your mafia cohorts,

Your goal is to outnumber the mushroom town and kill Mario to take over! Good luck!

Your bowser's son, helping to assist in the takeover of the Mushroom kingdom, your Bowser Jr.! You can disable the ability of a player each night, so make sure you choose wisely! Also, by the way, if bowser killed, in a fit of rage, you'll literally start cheating to win! Which means your lynch votes will count as two if bowser is lynched.

Your that hero in red clothing, the one whos always there to save the day, you are Mario! Thanks to how familiar you are with Bowser and his cohorts, you
can inspect someone to find out their color each night. Also, you want to try not to die either, because

Your goal is to take down all of bowser's mafia, Good luck!

Your the brother of that hero, your the man in green, Luigi! You can convince
someone to not want to lynch someone each night, so for the following day phase, even if that person votes,

Your goal is to take down all of bowser's mafia, Good luck!

[Thehelmetguy1]

Looks good

[Doesntpostverymuch]

i' ve voted for the wizard one in every pole, what do you think?

[Thehelmetguy1]

Yeah, the wizard one is great if you ask me

[MacDuckBeat]

Oh man, a super Mario in mafia. I think I pick MosaicMario's Bowser's Mafia Attacks the Mushroom Kingdom.

[Valentine]

Oh man, a super Mario in mafia. I think I pick MosaicMario's Bowser's Mafia Attacks the Mushroom Kingdom.

That's a really shallow-minded way to choose a mafia game, You could look at the actual roles and if they're interesting or not, not just the theme of the game.

Honestly, I think that both of Mosaic's games do nothing all that interesting or new. They're just generic mafia games with a certain theme, there's no particularly interesting roles. That does mean that they're functional though.

[MacDuckBeat]

F**k that, I pick the wizard one. My new choice.

[Valentine]

I feel this game will need a lot of rebalancing, but here's the concept I have right now.


MAFIA ##: Daily Fortune
18 Players, cardflip

The "Mafia"

The Devil: Has a lot of knowledge in trickery so at the start of the game he cardflips blue, but if he votes he'll turn red for the next night and turn to green during the day (And stay green until he votes again, in which case he turns red for the next night again).
The Magician: Due to his magical prowess he can send a message after death in order to confuse the town
The Moon: Can eclipse the sun once in the game and make all mafia lynch votes count double for that day (Informs the host during the night, Players are warned at the start of the day).
The Hanged Man: Immune to nightkills.

The "Town"

The Emperor: Can use any town ability once in the game, (He can't save a person from dying, only lynching), immune to nightkills.
The Sun: Can protect a player from dying or being lynched, can't do both at once and must inform the host during the night. (If the moon switches it back to night again, if it turns back into night lynch immunity counts as nightkill immunity)
The Chariot: Goes all over the place and hears a lot of things, so he can choose a player to see if they visited someone and who they visited (If he visits a mafia it doesn't show the person they killed).
The World: Due to being knowledgeable, can see someone's color.
The Hermit: He can kill someone every night, but he cardflips yellow.
The Hierophant: Due to similarity to the magician he is thought to only be the same person but in disguise, they even have the same ability. He can send a message after death to help the town.
Playing Card: Has no powers.

Third Party
Death: Immune to nightkills and can kill someone every night, he can also turn someone's color to black whenever he kills them (He doesn't get to learn their color if he chooses to do this).

The Moon: Can remove one day phase during the game (Informs the host during the night).
The Hanged Man: Can change the lynch vote target to somebody while revealing himself as mafia. (The Sun's lynch immunity applies).

The "Town"

The Emperor: Can use any town ability once in the game, (He can't save a person from dying, only lynching).

Great game, but I have found a flaw, The sun has to inform the host at night who he wants to protect from lynching, but what happens when the moon changes the phase to night? Does this automatically change the sun's protection into nightkill immunity or does the sun get overruled by the moon in this scenario?

[Valentine]

I'm gonna go with nightkill immunity

[MECHDRAGON777]

I personally like the theme of Tarot Cards, and it brings back memories of my old hobbies. I wish I could play that when it is more balanced out one day.

[Megar]

If I end up playing that game I'm going to make a fuckton of JoJokes

[Julia Pseudo]

I'd probably end up making a bunch of Binding of Isaac references

Mutiny is Mean
17 Players
Cardflip
If the amount of living Innocent members equals the amount of living Traitor members, the Traitors win.
All lynch vote targets must be designated in red, and if they are not, they will not count towards the lynching of that target.

After hearing that the crew of Spacebase 115 fended themselves off perfectly fine without outside assistance, a disgruntled member of the Space Police has received a distress signal from a public transport vessel, the Concordia. Surprised to be receiving another distress signal so soon, he rushed to the ship hoping to help, prepared for whatever may be threatening the people there...

Politician: Lynch vote counts as two (except when second lynching is held).
Agent: Can choose to kill any player at night. If he kills an innocent, he is automatically lynched off. Cardflips black when inspected.

-Space Police-
Space Police: Can choose to kill a player at night, but only if at least one lynch vote was put under that player's name during any day phase. If he kills an innocent, he becomes a Traitor, joining their team, but only being in contact with the Co-Pilot if he is still alive. If he kills a traitor, he becomes part of the Innocents, joining their team and changing his color to blue. If he has joined neither team by the end of the game, he wins or loses if the Innocents win or lose.
