There are way too little players in this game and even so the game would end in about 2 phases or less most likely since mafia has to kill night one and then a lynch has to happen or townies just kill enough townies to force a tie. If town doesn't lose, this game is way too skewed towards town by the sheer fact there are 4 vigilantes. Moreover, more likely than not a lot of people will die n1, so it won't be fun for those who signed up for this game.GforGoomba wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 4:23 pmaifaM: ??M
Miller creates a new invention called the Role Swapper 2000. He intends to use it to change the Mafia into townies and to earn himself a good rep. Coincidentally, his brother Millwright makes a time machine. He intends to use it to find out how the Mafia converted to evil. But their machines broke and made a backwards universe! And then Miller and Millwright died.

You are talking to the mirror of the forum, no need to do that. I do not even know what Stownie means. I said The mafia for a reason. Four mafia is way to many for an 11 player game. You are not the first to do a mirror gimmick to a game though.

Oh, yeah, I thought nightkill meant they basically would act as a vigilante. Also don't try to use inverted terminology in game. It is just way too abstract and confusing to deal with while talking in game.MECHDRAGON777 wrote: ↑Sat May 19, 2018 8:59 amThe player count is not the issue, it is that mafia has to many members.Eclipsed wrote: ↑Sat May 19, 2018 2:20 amThere are way too little players in this game and even so the game would end in about 2 phases or less most likely since mafia has to kill night one and then a lynch has to happen or townies just kill enough townies to force a tie.

I'd recommend looking back through some of the past games as your game concepts are getting a little better but are really unbalanced. The Mafia basically has 4 kills per Night at the start which will just destroy the Town with no way for them to win. The Mafia also doesn't have any interesting abilities and the Town has no way to counter any of the Mafia's actionsGforGoomba wrote: ↑Sat May 19, 2018 2:09 pmM??: Mafia Goes Online
The Townies, the Cop, the Doctor and the Vigilante decide to take a break and chat on Discord. Meanwhile, the Mafia go on with their normal scheme as usual. "But wait!" one Mafioso said. "If the townies are online, we should hack their computers!" The Godfather and the other Mafiosi agree.

1. Have you read the Mafia rules or previous games? Most often the Mafia members are in contact with each other and collaboratively choose on one person to kill in total. In your game they could kill four people per Night and the game would be over really fast.GforGoomba wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 2:33 pm1) I thought the Mafia are ssupposedto nightkill.

2) I am sorry if there are no roleblockers or stuff like that.
3) At least we got a doctor!
3. The Doctor can heal hacked computers as well, the name implies that it has DEETA recovery software, hence Protegent.PixelPest wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 2:38 pm1.

2. These are the kinds of roles that make Mafia games interesting, instead of just the same classic roles and set-ups with different names.
3. But it only works against the Third Party (at least from the description I feel like that's what's implied)

Adding onto pixel's point about clearness, it's also not very clear that you are using reversed terminology for your game. Please just stick to normal descriptions when showing your game in a concept since it'd make people be able to analyze it more well.PixelPest wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 5:54 pmI didn't think that was very clearGforGoomba wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 2:42 pm3.

2. The way that cult games work is that normally if half or more is converted, the cult has a 66.6% chance of instantly winning.
3. The Persuasive Guy/Girl role is an interesting idea, but the main issue is that there's too little players.
Where are the numbers you are adding coming from?
