Plotting The Caper

Plotting The Caper

This is a game I'm working on with MoS as a sort of one night mafia variant, so just know it's a work in progress.

Story

A Mob Boss is trying to send a team on a caper to rob a bank. He needs to send a team capable of doing the job. Unfortunately, some unfavorable people have joined his work force. He needs to choose his team correctly, while remaining hidden from any cops, in order for the caper to succeed.

How To Play

A normal game of
Plotting The Caper
starts with passing out the roles. All roles contain a number, 1-5, in three stats: Driving, Safecracking, and Explosives. A deadline will be set for 2 weeks, in that time, discussion of who to send on the caper in what position occurs. After the time is up, the Mob Boss reveals himself amongst the group and chooses one person to be the Driver, one person to be the Safecracker, and one to be the Explosive Expert. The three chosen players then have their roles and stats revealed. The driver’s driving ability is added to safecracker’s safecracking ability which is then added to the explosive expert’s explosive ability. If this number is equal to or greater than 10, the caper succeeds. If this number is less than 10, the caper fails.

  • Once per game, half the cops rounded down but at least 1 (AKA, one of you) may flip yourself as cop by posting "
    ARREST: Player
    ." If the player arrested is the mob boss, the cops win. If not, the cop is confirmed as a cop and the game continues. The flipped cop is informed of the role of the player he arrested.
Win Condition

You win if the caper fails.

No. They continue in the game unrevealed and can be put on the team.

That makes it a risk-reward play for the cops...if they miss, they've confirmed someone as non-cop at the very least, which helps the Boss.
Well technically cop could accuse his partner of being the mob boss.

Edit: ok I didn't read the next two posts lol

Blackberry and Aronis claimed same specialty with different secondary skills. That's possible, I believe.

Mod: Confirm that it's possible for there to be two specialists with the same 5 skill but different 3 skills?
It's possible.

Aronis is a
Specialist
with a
3

Mitillos is a
Specialist
with a
5
in safecracking.

Blackberry is a
Undercover Cop
with a
1
in explosives.


With
9
total skill, the caper fails!


Blackberry and Telo, the
Undercover Cops
win!

Mod Info

Obviously, this needs some serious tweaking in order to work. I've got some ideas to fix it, and I'll be fine tuning it a lot more before I run it again.

Thank you for playing!

I didn't post anything about enforcing activity, and because not posting was a legit strat I didn't want to stop that. I'll be more clear next time.

But yeah I got no idea why the third specialist claimed henchman.
