Game Concept Thread

You guys are acting like I'm joking.

Seriously, after seeing how bitterly people see the townsperson role and how much we seem to rely on blues and a blue alliance, we need to go beyond simple and use only our wits instead of depend on a blue to lead.

There's no reason to have a miller if nobody can use the cardflip mechanic.

Well there is no sheriff but you know it can still cause confusion upon death since this is not roleflip?

Oh that's a mistake, you do cardflip, I forgot to mention that, thanks lmao.

Actually, i knew you weren't joking, it's just that this game feels way too simple, i like having diversity in a game, also, i having fucking ocd,
i hate having only 3 mafia, i'd rather have 4 mafia. Assuming the mafia doesn't get a collaborative kill, this game would drag on for WAY too long.
EDIT:
Also, i think it's pretty easy to tell by now that games with only a few specials are already frowned upon, but i'd have to wonder how people will react to no specials at all.

[Cedur]

of course the mafia would have a collaborative kill. Also, going until Day 8 really isn't bad, why are you guys so terrified about it. If anything, I liked that the excitement in M40 lasted until the big finale

anyway 0/10 would not buy again

[ElectriKong]

I actually think that that game would make for a perfect end to a season.

[TLtimelord]

I could probably add an extra mafia.

I could probably add an extra mafia.

How do guns work? Are they single-Use or can they be used to kill several times? Also, can the Gunslinger and Gunsman give guns to themselves? And last but not least, can the serial killer be nightkilled? Please specify these things?

Guns are single use
No the Gunslinger and Gunsman can't
and yes, the serial killer can be nightkilled.

About 3-4 town per one mafia. Seems logical, it's a key hint in making games that the GM's have in hosting topic OPs.

No the Gunslinger and Gunsman can't
and yes, the serial killer can be nightkilled.

And with that, the serial killer is horrifically UP.

red guns kill townies only and blue guns kill everything. obvisously.

[ElectriKong]

Also the gunsman and gunslinger roles remind me of some game I posted before

Uh, yeah it will? It's only 15 players, so 3 mafioso are the perfect amount. There are no inspection roles this game, so players have to rely solely on interrogation, suspicion, and luck when going after the three mafioso, which can be thrown off easily by the singular miller role. It's one of the simplest games you can go with without having to rely on balancing out special roles and other gimmicks.

Actually, i knew you weren't joking, it's just that this game feels way too simple, i like having diversity in a game, also, i having fucking ocd,

1. Can you explain what you mean by "diversity"?
2. Having 3 mafioso balances the game perfectly, since it's 15 players.
3. Are your games of Mafia only supposed to take 3 phase cycles?

Also, i think it's pretty easy to tell by now that games with only a few specials are already frowned upon, but i'd have to wonder how people will react to no specials at all.

This extremely narrow and absurd way of thinking needs to stop.

2. I guess
3. No

Well, you know more about mafia than me, so now I know if I want to keep playing it

I'd totally be down to play this, but with no blues I think it'd be better off with the original 3 mafia vs. rest town honestly.

Sounds good to me. I'll remove the fourth mafioso and make that the final version. I'll just hold off my faction game for a long while then, if I choose to bring it up again.

Please note that the role choices are randomised for each team. This is a sample of what a game's role set could look like. I will put descriptions of each role later, but they are all roles seen before. Civilians are basically townie/mafioso roles and are removable if the game needs to be smaller.
