M##: Elemental Showdown

Mafia
-Fire lord: Will protect himself with fire every night. Making him nightkill immune.
-Fire mage: Can trap someone in a ring of flames every night, making them unable to do anything for the next day. The Fire mage cannot use this ability on night 1.
-Pyromancer: Can burn the lynch votes once a game, cancelling the lynch.
-Coal golem: Can cover someone in coal dust every night, changing their cardflip colour to black the day after.

Town
-Water King: The Water King is nightkill immune, he can also cancel a lynch once during the game but he will lose his nightkill ability and reveal himself as the king.
-Aquamancer: Can kill someone with boiling hot water every night. If they kill an innocent, they will lose their ability and cardflip red for a single night.
-Mirror seer: The seer can look into a mirror of enchanted water and see what a player did the night before every other day phase.
-Water spirit: An embodiment of a spirit made of water. Can inspect someone each night by fitting itself through small spaces.
-Frost guard: Can form a shield of permafrost around a player every night. Protecting them from death.
-Extinguisher: Can once per game try to permanently destroy someone's fiery ability.
-Doublevoter: Like a townie, lynch vote counts as two.
-Townsperson: Nothing special, can cast a lynch vote.
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Townsperson
-Outsider: Like a townie, but purple, doesn't know he is the Outsider.

Third Party[/size]
-Grim Reaper: Can steal a player's soul every night, killing the player. If this player had an ability, it will be preserved inside his soul. The reaper can use each of these abilities only once, even if the original player could use it more often. The reaper is allowed to use up to three soul-abilities at once. If the reaper targets a townie, the reaper will give the soul to Satan as it's useless to him. Being death and all that, the reaper is unable to be nightkilled. Targetting a mafia member will only give the reaper it's individual ability, not the factional kill. Nightkill immunity still applies.

Feedback is, as always, greatly appreciated. As I am certain there are some balance issues I forgot to remove

Looks like a good game, but wouldn't catching a purple basically mean completely reliable information for the water spirit? Because they can just ask who the other mason is and then ask the mentioned person to confirm the information. If the given information doesn't match, the purple is p. much guaranteed to be the grim reaper in that case.

ALSO, WHAT ARE THOSE COLORS THAT YOU USED?!

Yeah, I also thought about that, but then again, the mason's aren't neccesary anyways, I'm going to remove the masons and add a millwright and perhaps another weak blue or a townie. Also, about the colours, Since the game is mostly based on elements, (fire and water.), I wanted the colours to make sense in that department. And as I also think it doesn't really fit for the grim reaper to be yellow. Also, I dont know what I was thinking with the light blue TBH, going to change that. If more people are annoyed by the purple, Ill make shit yellow again.

Also, ShadowstarX's quote is no longer up to date.

Honestly, purple is nothing wrong, but the shade of blue and green you used is.

[MECHDRAGON777]

I honestly have nothing wrong with the shades...

[Witchking666]

I honestly have nothing wrong with the shades...

I do actually, as I didn't neccesarily want those shades, I just wasn't really sure which ones most people used (thank you "How to format mafia games" thread)

Paranoid Cop: Inspected players always cardflip red
Naive Cop: Inspected players always cardflip green
Townie

Note: If you are a cop, you won't be told which type you are

[Zeldamaster12]

The idea is cool, don't get me wrong, but there's literally no way to trust your inspection if you are a cop so I doubt anyone will take their inspection seriously, essentially making it Townies vs Mafia.

[PersonNamedUser]

I pretty much agree with what Zeldamaster said about that.

[Witchking666]

The idea is cool, don't get me wrong, but there's literally no way to trust your inspection if you are a cop so I doubt anyone will take their inspection seriously, essentially making it Townies vs Mafia.

This, also, I think the game would be relatively boring due to the absence of a third party and the shitload of vanilla roles.

[Valentine]

Note: If you are a cop, you won't be told which type you are

This line makes the concept fundamentally broken and if you took it out the game would be completely boring.

[Cedur]

A tidy and improved version of Rainbow Party. Changes: removed Jesters and Bystander; changed Mafia to Murderers and Witches to Cultists; restructured the Cultist roles and added a 4th to make up for their missing regular nightkill; Bodyguard isn't NK-immune as long as he's not vengeful (else it would be too easy to win).

EDIT 2/27/17: Removed Lookout and improved some other townie's abilities. Game has now 16 players.

M##: Pick your own Power Role

Cardflip, 16 players. Three major factions, special roles only. Many abilities with limited use.
Ballot-box voting. This forces the town to lynch, because evil factions will surely cast votes.
Bomb attacks that ignore nightkill immunity only refer to roles that are NK-immune as their property. A player protected by the Doctor or Bodyguard is still saved.

The Town: (8 players)

Goal: Eliminate the murderers, the cultists, and the Bodyguard if he loses his protégé.

Sheriff: Investigates a player at night, gets three possibilities on that player’s role, at least one of them being town (see below). Can't die Night 1.
Pathologist: Can find out the exact role of a dead player.
Friend: Forms a secret town alliance by visiting players and getting allied with them if they're town. The Friend's identity must stay secret. Neither may he claim himself, nor may others reveal his identity publicly, even after death.
Vigilante: Has three kills through the game. If he kills a Townie, he can't kill the next night, unless he was framed.
Bomber: Can place a bomb once in the game and is immune to being framed, and can also go on alert one night to kill everyone who visits him. Both kills ignores night immunity.
Doctor: Protects a player from getting killed. Can't die Night 1.
Mayor: Vote counts triply, and if a kitb happens, the mayor vote can serve as a tiebreaker.
Escort: A seductive beauty with the ability to roleblock everyone except for the murderer. Immune to being silenced.

The Murderers: (3 players)

Goal: Weed out the town and the cultists.

Murderer: Can kill a player at night. Is immune to nightkills, control and roleblockage.
Consort: Can silence a player except for the escort. Will gain the SK’s nightkill ability when the SK dies, but she won’t gain any of his immunities.
Advisor: Can find out a player’s color. If the Murderer dies, the Advisor also obtains one extra nightkill for the game which he can use instead of an inspection.

The Cultists: (4 players)

Goal: Outnumber the town and the murderers.

If the Supreme Cultist dies, the remaining cultists can agree on one of them taking the Supreme Cultist's spot.

Supreme Cultist: Immune to nightkills. Appears as a townie (green) to the Advisor and as a random town role to the Sheriff.
Framing Cultist: Can control a player to use their night ability on another player of his choice.
Detective Cultist: Can find out a player's exact role.
Assassin Cultist: Can do the same thing as the Bomber once in the game.

The Bodyguard: (1 player)

Goal: Either see your protégé survive the game, or survive yourself as a Vengeful Bodyguard.

Bodyguard: Gets a Town player assigned as his protege. As long as the protege lives, the Bodyguard is nightkill immune and he can also protect the protégé up to three times. If the protégé dies, the Bodyguard goes extremely angry and turns into a Vengeful Bodyguard. He remains immune and steals victory from the town if he survives the game.

Hints for the Sheriff: show

Your target is just as skilled at gathering information as you. They could be the Friend, Advisor or Detective Cultist.

Your target is a somewhat cunning manipulator. They could be the Escort, Consort or Framing Cultist.

Your target takes a leading role for their team. They could be the Mayor, Murderer or Supreme Cultist.

Your target is not afraid to do violent justice. They could be the Bomber, Vigilante or Assassin Cultist.

Your target is not afraid to get their hands dirty. They could be the Doctor, Pathologist or Bodyguard.

[ShadowStarX]

Don't you think that changing the role descriptions would also be necessary? Because now the game is ununderstandable, at least for me.

[Witchking666]

Neat concept @Supershroom. The role discriptions are wrong though, as the godfather and the witches are still mentioned.

[Cedur]

Lol I first lost my edits due to some browser crash and then I was in a hurry. It should be all fixed now.

[Doesntpostverymuch]

QUESTION: HAS ANYONE DONE ROBOTS VS PIRATES YET?

[Witchking666]

Probably, but not on the SMBX forums.

[Doesntpostverymuch]

That's what i was asking. so my new game will be great! as soon as i make it.

[Cedur]

Alright, so please take a look here, regarding the unbolded roles and the glaring green color. Use quote tags for role PMs and please put them all into a spoiler. There's also no reason to replace the terminologies of lynching and kitb; and it's not always easy to tell who is reasonably voting and who is just mindlessly bandwagoning, so your rule on bandwagoning is too ambiguous. Also, are the Droid and Advanced Droid part of the mafia? If so, it's 6 mafia to 11 townies and it makes the mafia highly overpowered.

I can take a deeper look at the game once you fix the formatting.
