I have never seen a faction game have it so you know your teammates.

M45: He who laughs last ...

17 players, roleflip, Semi-faction game

The main battle happens between the mafia and the cultists (who both know their teammates), who both have a factional kill. The game ends once one of these is eliminated. Independents each have their own winning condition.

The Mafia

Godfather: survives one nightkill, gets replaced by the highest-ranked living teammate upon death
His Waifu: can roleblock
Intelligence Agent: can find someone's exact role
Trafficker: can transport two people and switch all actions on them.

The Cultists

Supreme Guru: survives one nightkill, gets replaced by the highest-ranked living teammate upon death
Hypnotizer: can control someone else's night action
Undercover Agent: can find someone's exact role
Corpse Whisperer: can pick a dead independent player and use their ability.

Independents

Escort Lady: can boost someone's testosterone to double their power or save them from roleblocking - support or outlast the faith healer.
Faith Healer: welp he does what his name says (can't self-heal) - save an independent from death.
Jailor: can incapacitate a player at night, saving them from actions and roleblocking them at the same time. - roleblock a bandit and save an independent from getting targeted.
Operative: can find out a player's alignment at night. - find a mafia and get them lynched.
Survivor: has two bulletproof vests - just survive.
Character Assassin: immune to nightkills - get some other independent lynched.
Booze Buddy: is in contact with the other Booze Buddy. - at least one of them needs to survive for a joint win.
Booze Buddy

Heavenly Avenger

Heavenly Avenger: decides to protect a person at night. If this person is killed, the avenger will descend to earth and the other players have 3 days to lynch him, otherwise he'll end the game and steal victory for himself and his last protege. The HA is immune to nightkills.

Mafia 45: Living On The Edge
Format: Factions / Cardflip - 15 Players

Team Town
Sheriff: Can inspect one player each night and learn their cardflip color.
Doctor: Can protect one player each night to prevent them from being night killed.
Prostitute: Can block one player's ability each night. The target will be notified.
Vigilante: Can kill one player each night.
Lookout: Can track one player each night to learn who visited them.
Politician: Lynch vote counts twice as much as the other players'.
Town Crier: Can broadcast a message up to 250 characters long during the night that will be revealed in the following phase change.

Team Mafia
Godfather
Mafioso: Conspires with the rest of Team Mafia to kill one player each night. In contact with the rest of his team.
Mafioso

Team Psychopaths
Serial Killer: Can kill one player each night. Immune to night kills, but he will spend the night fighting off the attacker and effectively be roleblocked if he is attacked.
Psychoanalyst: Can psychoanalyze one player each night to learn who they visited that night.
Survivalist: Twice throughout the whole game, can go on alert during the night, blocking all abilities and killing anyone who visits him.
Manipulator: Can sabotage one player's ability each night to force them to target a specified player, as well as learn their exact role. This can "steal" inspection results from the Sheriff, Lookout, and Psychoanalyst. It also allows her to force Team Mafia to kill a specific player, if she targets the mafioso who is set to carry out the kill. The target will be notified, though they will not know who they were made to visit.

Team Have You Heard The Good News
Cult Leader: Can recruit one player to his team during the night, changing their cardflip color to purple (but not removing their ability) and gaining contact with them. Can't recruit a player two nights in a row. Immune to night kills.

- All teams win by being the last team standing.
- Failed night kills will not be mentioned in phase transitions.
- Only members of Team Mafia start the game in contact with each other.
- Since the cult's teachings are opposed to modern medicine, cultists other than the Cult Leader can never be night immune, even when protected by the Doctor.
- If the Cult Leader dies, all members of the cult will remain as such, but they will not be able to recruit any further members.
- Mafia members are too disciplined to be brainwashed, so they will be killed if visited by the Cult Leader (this does not prevent the Cult Leader from recruiting on the next night).
- The Survivalist will kill the Prostitute if visited while on alert.
- Team Mafia sends its lowest ranked living member to kill someone each night, for the purposes of visitation.
- No role is normally allowed to visit itself, but the Manipulator can force someone to do so.

PixelPest wrote:Interesting hybrid normal game-faction game thing with a little extra zest.

I count at least 5 games, including mine, that have a single-man faction, two of which are Cult leaders that can convert players, among several other similarities.
I really hope the different choices don't become too "samey" in structure.

Also I went ahead and clarified some stuff in my game, specifically about how the Doctor(s) and night votes work.

When do the polls start?

Warlock wrote:When do the polls start?

First your game has to be approved by all of the game masters to even be in the poll, so we aren't even close since the game masters haven't reviewed anyone's game yet. Once the game masters are done that, maybe a week later we will see the first poll.

Alignment Struggle:

- There is no nightkilling in this game or killing in general.
- Four teams, One team that has is fodder, but if they are not converted they win with those who are the highest count, three cultist/werewolf-ish like teams.
- Everyone starts with 1 potion, when used they are immune to being converted for one night. When used they can no longer use the potion, unless given another one. Can only have one potion at a time. Potions can also be used to convert that player to your team if you are not a converter. Converters do not gain potions.
- Lynching makes someone into the fodder role. This makes converters fodder instead of being a converter of that group.
- Player count will be 20
- All sides can be converted over and over again. Certain roles can not be converted and can only be lynched.
- The game ends at the end of night 6. The group with the highest count is the winner. Team count is said every phase. Fodder team wins if there are people on their team still.
- When someone is lynched as a fodder, they can choose 3 abilites only if they were lynched. Either inspections, potion giving, or roleblocking, or become regular fodder, and if they were converters and chose fodders, when converted they will have the converter role back, but for the team they were converted to.
- People who were converted will know they were converted and which alignment they are, they will not know who their other players on the team are.
- Teams will not know each other unless direct communication is used which is rather risky.
- Lynches not ballot box styled.
- No team members is in contact with one another due to the wild count of the game.
- Fodders starting out at the beginning of the game do not get to chose roles as they are normal members.
- When conversions are crossed (Law Con and Chaos Con one another member then they are Neutralized and they stay the same. Neutral converters go over this rule and instead when they cross with another Converter the player that they crossed with becomes fodder.
- The Max Converters there can be on a team is 3. If there would be more then 3 then the 4th one would become a converter when the other converter is converted into something else. Otherwise they act like a normal player of the alignment they are.
- Converts do not count or have a team convert. They are independent converts.
- Players can vote up to 4 players during the day, and along with the higher lynch count you can vote for the same person twice within the vote. It has to be in a single post though. You have to vote no lower, no higher then 3-4 for people depending on who you vote for.
- Since we have a higher lynch count, this means at most two people will be converted to fodder as counted within the votes to.
- You are meant to catch people on who they vote for to know what team they might be on and lower their count as converters know who they converted.

I guess I should not be pointing at M3?

Witchking666 wrote:The Assasins are overpowered since they get another delayed kill each night on top of their already existing kill by the hitman I suggest removing the pacifist and changing that slot into a different non-lethal role.Looks fairly balanced otherwise.

The "Pacifist" has been replaced by the Spy. What do you think of it?

Witchking666 wrote:This game has too much going on and most of the abilities are useless either way.

There may be a lot going on but everything is there for a reason. Each of the teams has a killing ability with a contingency and a reward for killing the head of another team, along with a conversion ability as well as two other abilities--in most cases one of which is to help get team members together and one is used as an asset to the team altogether.

Witchking666 wrote:It is very complicated because of the cultists already and I do not think that it is wise to have both a conversion mechanic and a lot of abilities.

Sure it's a complex game but everything there is in there for a reason and each team follows a specific structure. It's built to be an interesting game and less-focused on a single mechanic such that it can play in a fun way. Each of the primary three teams have two roles that are the same throughout and then two helper abilities that each serve a purpose; I don't see any that are apparently useless. Just because it has a lot of abilities doesn't mean it's unreasonable and because of its structured-ness it isn't too hard to understand.

Witchking666 wrote:My suggestion would be to keep the cultists and the killers and to make the other two members of each team not have an ability. If you want you can make it so the killing role or the wannabe can inspect but I doubt it's truly necessary.

I don't want to make the Overlord abilities OP and then have the team screwed over when they are killed which is why I don't want to give them an inspection ability. By spreading out abilities across the team it gives each member a specific purpose, makes all of the roles in the game fun to play, and keeps the teams relatively balanced even when a player has been killed.

Witchking666 wrote:Those TPs are fucking cool though. Never seen anything like it before.

Thanks.

Witchking666 wrote:The killing roles themselves need clarification. "Can kill a player each Night, as long as they haven't killed on the previous Night." Does that mean they can only kill every other night? Explain please.

That's literally what it means; I don't see how it needs further explanation. You killed the previous Night--you can't kill on the current Night. It's just part of what I used to balance the game so that there aren't three killing abilities plus the chance for a player to be killed if targeted by two Converters. This basically makes it so that each of the Overlords can only kill every other Night if they choose, however the are not forced directly via role description to kill on even or odd Nights, etc.

Basically to sum it up this game gives every role an ability to make it more fun so that no one has a bum role to promote activity and each role has a specific purpose as being an asset to the team (either to help bring the team together or to try to screw up another team). The Overlords cannot kill every Night to balance things out and the use of giving every role an ability is that it doesn't totally screw up the team when one player is killed from it
