Tom Bombadil 07/02/19 9:35:14 AM #1:	Welcome to B8EST IDEA MAFIA tl;dr -I'm testing a (silly) setup idea I stole from another site and tweaked -Pretend we're going to play a game (we aren't) and all this is happening by PM so you don't know what's going on with other folks -Sign up -I'll send you three alignments, three active roles, and three modifiers. -Narrow that down to one from one category, two from another, and all three from the last. -I'll randomize out the remaining extra options and that's your role for the imaginary game -Sign up again if you want? An example (and also my first entry) -Player!Tom signs up. -Host!Tom randomizes: Survivor Town Town 1-shot Unlynchable Nilla Nilla GodfatherScan as town Queen of the NightIf dying at night, next night is skipped Lover -Player!Tom narrows that down to Survivor, Town, Town Unlynchable, Nilla Godfather -Host!Tom randomizes the final role: TOWN Godfather Nilla (essentially making me a regular ol' Nilla, but "Godfather" can still show up in some scans) More mechanical details -I can of course answer questions! -I have a whole spreadsheet of possible roles and stuff to randomize; you can see it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17XmUOZoQuPs_kPvzVJu9Vu73kkE5leLheboWptXPaDs/edit#gid=214608479 -It is entirely possible that you will be a Mafia, or Werewolf, or Cult, or Mason, or Lover by yourself. -I THINK I avoided anything that could make for gamebreaking or confusing combinations. Obviously some of these will be better to use than others, and balance isn't guaranteed. That's why I'm doing this- to see if it would result in even a remotely appropriate setup. -Mafia and Werewolf are the same thing, just two different families. -There's some awkwardness in separating out all the roles into components like I did. Mafia and Werewolves both have a factional night kill, and Cult has a factional 1-shot Recruit. -I don't expect to actually run this gimmick ever, given our hosting sensibilities. (although it'd make a fun AIM game- did Discord Mafia ever become a thing?) -If Jack or Schizo calls a role, it loses its X-shot limitation. -There would be limitations in place to ensure the game is within certain limits of silliness. For example, town would need to be, like, 50-80% of the playerlist, or I'd reroll. But a good bit of leeway would be in place, meaning that we can (and probably will) get setups that would not fly if they were designed from the ground up. More background details -Original concept is Modified Greatest Idea Mafia: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Modified_Greatest_Idea_Mafia but I made the lists a bit more b8-y and changed the role-picking mechanic to one I think works better if you're not playing face to face -ORIGINAL original concept is Great Idea Mafia: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Great_Idea_Mafia and there are a few other variations on that theme -I could just roll a bunch of roles for myself for testing purposes but then the results would skew towards my own tastes and then we'd just have a 15 town 1 SK game or something. --- https://imgtc.com/i/uWMMlnN.png Tone yo' flab <cite>Tom Bombadil posted [p:924138512] in A quick (f...
