The Mystery... The Mayhem (Good or Bad?)

[Angel Fish]

1) I'm going to mod a game in which the roles are revealed as necessary (i.e. after a killing, or lynching, some details of the killee and the killer are revealed). That's the sort of level I like. Plus perhaps a few really hidden details or 'game events' which may or may not occur.

2) I don't let people reveal their roles. Thus no competing to invent the best role.

Sketch - we manage at Brunchma without revealing roles outright; I like the challenge of cop-type roles having to reveal their information subtly.

Revealing outright (e.g. I am the X, this is what I know) would result in a player being removed from the game by a mod - I think this has only happened once out of 10 games or so.

Then again - sometimes it seems obvious who/what people are, but even then players will say "You all know what I am, and I think we should do X" rather than "yes I am a cop, here's what I know". It's just a different style of play.

It's a crazy, crazy world out there, you know.
