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.

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.

The player count is not the issue, it is that mafia has to many members.

You mean the Einwots or the Aifam?

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. (Three Mafia and a Godfather)

Quick note: it's not wise to make double votes self-unaware.

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.

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 actions

1) I thought the Mafia are ssupposedto nightkill. What is the point of a Mafia if they just sit there while the Godfather does the Mafia work?
2) I am sorry if there are no roleblockers or stuff like that.
3) At least we got a doctor!

[Cedur]

All of the mafia decides together who to nightkill. It's been like that in basically every game (unless there were other evil factions than the mafia).

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.
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.

1. The game has too little players. 14 players or above is what I think should be game sizes considering how last signups went.
2. The way that cult games work in town of salem 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.
4. The spy role's description is vague and doesn't tell me anything by just saying info. What kind or type of info is it?
