GAME RULES

GENERAL RULES:

Spoiler:

This game will start with a Day phase.
As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – please don't leave us hanging!
Prods of missing players will be issued after 48 hours of no activity. Any player who fails to post in-thread within 24 hours of being prodded by me may be replaced. If the game turns to night before you can respond to your prod, PM me letting me know you still want to play.
No prods will be issued during Night.
A player who is eligible for a third prod is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings and approved QTs. If someone contacts you outside the game you should report it to me immediately.

DURING THE DAY:

Spoiler:

Each Day will have a two-week deadline. Extensions will be given only in extreme circumstances, but always feel free to ask.
A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
If the deadline runs out before a majority lynch is agreed on, the day will end in a no-lynch.
Players may vote for a No-Lynch via voting for 'No Lynch'.
Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate.
Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players may continue to post.
Once you are dead (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post that contains NO game related information.
Votes should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: Player or VOTE: Player).
Vote revocations should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: UNVOTE: Player or Unvote). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
Votes/Unvotes must be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see.
Votes/Unvotes that reasonably follow the guidelines specified above, and are unambiguous with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations, will count.
Vote counts will be edited into the first post of each page (so long as I can keep up, yo). Other announcements and requested vote counts will receive their own post.

DURING THE NIGHT:

Spoiler:

Night will have a 48-hour deadline. Extensions will not be given, unless a player has to be replaced during the Night.
If you have a role with a Night action, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
If you expect not to be here to submit your night action during the night, you may send one in in advance.
Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).

MISCELLANEOUS:

Spoiler:

Role flavor is independent of alignment in this game--alignments will be rolled randomly.
Role flavor will not be an indicator of power. A True Rune may be VT just as much as they may have a PR.
Please bold all requests to myself so that they don’t get missed.

Do not use standard MafiaScum purple (#800080). This is my color. All other colors are fine.

No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed (if you can't read it, don't post it).
You are not allowed to edit your posts, if you have the ability to do so.
If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM me privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
If you do not understand how your role functions, feel free to PM me.
I may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill, as the Mod sees fit. Modkills may be accompanied by a change to day/night and the offender’s role will be changed to Neutral Survivor, which guarantees a loss.
- Just know, it's all about intention. If you genuinely mess up, I'll try to cut you some slack. If I determine you're trying to compromise the integrity of the game though, you won't be too happy with the punishment.
Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to my discretion and will be handled as I see fit on a case-by-case basis.
I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time, so long as I inform you in thread.

THE GOLDEN RULE:

Spoiler:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun!
I created Suikoden Mafia to bring together people on a site I love to have a fun time.
Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game. Playing to win does not preclude being considerate of each other! Be cool.

Richmond took a long drink and sighed into his cup. The final battle was a success. Highland's armies had been defeated. The army would be coming home soon. Despite all of this, the castle felt profoundly empty and Richmond found himself feeling even emptier. Bianca, Richmond's pet cat and partner in the private-eye business, let loose a tiny mew and nuzzled close to its master's chest. For a silent moment, Richmond enjoyed the stillness of peace.

Viki tumbled into the room, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. She quickly righted herself up, dusting off her robes while trying to look presentable. "Oh! Richmond! I bet you're tired of sitting around the castle all day. Come with me, I came up with a new mass-teleportation spell that should be able to bring everyone back home at once!"

It took a moment for Richmond to process all of this, but before he could protest, he found himself magically whisked into the middle of thousands of cheering troops, shoulder-to-shoulder with heroes such as Viktor and Flik. He choked back gagging, the effects of teleportating turning his stomach over. Viktor laughed, "Yup! Looks like a man who doesn't travel with Viki much!"

"I don't trust her is all--she's definitely not even from this continent. I doubt she's even from this world."

Viktor only guffawed more at that, "Oh, Richmond, you crack me up. You gonna tell me she can travel through time again, huh? That story is hilarious."

"Well, there's no other explanation for how she insists on recent memories of events that never happened as well as ones that definitely happened several years ago! I'm just saying that there's definitely something... wrong..." Richmond trailed off, his eyes going wide as he watched Viki levitate above the crowd and twirl about a scepter. "Oh, no-no-no-nooo! She's gonna teleport

all

of us! Right now?!"

The entire army blinked away in an instant. When he awoke, Richmond found himself in a war-torn land, upon the wall of a destitute castle that he did not recognize. As far as he could see, hundreds of other people were blinking into existence here, some bearing clothing and technology that Richmond had never before even heard about. Some rose their swords and immediately engaged in battle, others fled to the castle, and still more rode out into the horizon. In minutes, chaos ensued and it was clear that Richmond and many others were no longer anywhere near their own homes or even their own time. Viki's teleportation had gone horribly awry...

It was not long before Richmond and many others discovered The Writing on the Wall.

Upon the broad side of the ruined castle, several papers were pinned to the stonework with letters weathered beyond recognition. In other places, it was clear that some had simply carved messages into the castle as well, although these were long-eroded. It occurred to Richmond to check this place periodically, as new writing may be added sometime soon.

Every player should now have read-only access to the PT, "The Writing on the Wall": http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=64012

Nomnomnom

Actually, at the mention of Fire Emblem;
The second and fifth games feature a mass warfare system most similar to Fire Emblem's, but every Suikoden game does feature warfare.
In the first game, it took place in a single screen and did not feature moving troops as far as I recall.
The second game had a grid for the battle map and units made up of your heroes that could skirmish.
The third game featured a system of connected locations you could fight between, but was the least involved, in my opinion.
The fourth game took the fight to the seas where you would do naval combat on a grid.
The fifth game returned to the style of the second.

Most of the game's play is done in jrpg-style combat, similar to early Breath of Fire games.

Darkness descended upon the scorched plains of this new realm. Richmond rubbed his chin, surveying the empty fields from atop the recently reclaimed ruined castle. A storm was brewing--many survivors from what seemed to be various moments in all of history were here. These survivors formed an Allied Unification Army that sought unity between the various factions, some of which may have even been at war in their original timelines. Every member of the Allied Unification Army had one goal; fight together to return home.

Richmond took a cold breath. There were those who disagreed with this philosophy. Rumor was that they were flying a banner that bore their title; The Epoch Resistance. The idea struck Richmond quite early--what if there was no way home? Allying with old enemies and working together towards a futile effort could eventually boil over into full-on civil war. Richmond had seen the bloodshed and pointless skirmishes that painted the fields crimson just this morning. Deep inside the pit of his stomach, he worried he was on the wrong side of this conflict.

That's when an animalistic cry split the silence of the night. To Richmond, it sounded like the whine of a dog in pain; a really, really big dog. As it turned out, a lone battalion of the Epoch Resistance, led by the Dragon Knight Futch had descended upon the castle. By the time Richmond was on the battlefield, the conflict was already resolved. The Allied Unification Army had proven their strength; Futch was slain. His white dragon, Bright, cried deeply, letting none near Futch's corpse. The dragon took to the skies with Futch's body. Richmond took another deep breath.

First blood had been shed; this war was not going to end any time soon.

LicketyQuickety

fell in battle during the first day of the war. He was

Futch the Dragon Knight

Epoch Resistance

Futch's role functions as follows:

"Allow me to strike the first blow," Apple spoke up. Richmond rubbed his chin and made a note in his pocketbook. Apple studied under the great tactician Mathiu Silverberg. Even those who weren't from the same time in history as Richmond and Apple had heard of her. It was no surprise that she was eager to prove herself and strike a decisive blow to the Epoch Resistance. To tell the truth, Richmond was a spot jealous; no one had any clue who he was, even some people who he knew from the army back home.

The raid was set to begin the following morning. Unfortunately, that night was destined to be stained with blood. The previous assault by the Epoch Resistance was a diversion--an entire elite troop of soldiers infiltrated the other side of the castle while it took place. While Futch was an unintended casualty, the remaining soldiers and assassins of the Epoch Resistance only steeled themselves further for what they knew they had to do.

That morning, Apple was nowhere to be found. Her room was slick with blood and marked by struggle. The Allied Unification Army was mortified by their own imagination. Regardless of what conclusions were drawn, there was one truth that tore at their hearts--Apple was never coming back.

There was little debate. The Allied Unification Army marched at sunrise, liberating those who would join their cause and cutting down those who resisted. Caught by surprise, members of the Epoch Resistance fled rather than fight a losing battle. In a squalid hovel, one woman refused to leave.

She was tending to fallen soldiers who all bore Epoch Resistance emblems, although there were many other wounded under her care. One of the survivors recounted that her name was Silva, and if it wasn't for her, many more would have died. Richmond rubbed his neck, the cold of the morning sending a chill through him. He knew she fought back and had to be slain, but it bothered him. Surely, she was a good person. Surely.

The army marched onward without such regrets.

The Allied Unification Army's advance was powerful and decisive, but there were those who thought that it was too simple. Strategists poured over the details of the conflict, but by the time they realized the flaw in their plans it was too late. The remaining members of the Epoch Resistance had hid among the corpses until they could strike at the heart of the Allied Unification Army.

Soldiers returned to a grizzly slaughter at their headquarters. Yet another strategist had been slain. It was as if the Epoch Resistance did not mind the losses they had incurred; as if it was all a plan to bereave the Allied Unification Army of their greatest thinkers.

It did not take long for the hastily-rallied members of the Alliance to begin questioning where the attacks were coming from. While a select few could faithfully trust each other, several members of the Allied Unification Army quickly found themselves jumping at shadows and losing sleep. Richmond was tasked with looking into the matter, although he could only offer vague recourse in the notion that perhaps remnants of the Epoch Resistance were among the Allied Army. With patience waning thin, paranoia stoked the fires in the engine of war once again.

Across the land, news of mutiny and desertion were commonplace. Something had to be done. The most decorated and accomplished generals of the Allied Army set out to solve this threat to their unity. It was not long before they came across a base camp filled with corpses and the sounds of steel. The generals rushed to the action only to find a single man surrounded by hundreds that he had cut down. Richmond recognized him and gasped, "That's Georg Prime! Stop! He's unmatched with a sword!"

Georg narrowed his eyes at the others. He wouldn't drop his stance for a second, although his voice was calm. "This entire camp belonged to the Epoch Resistance and deserters. I did what had to be done. Let me on my way and you'll never hear from me again."

The offer was considered, but it was soon agreed that was a risk the army could not take. If this man truly had cut down an entire camp on his own and if he was with the Epoch Resistance, letting him go here would only further threaten everything the Alliance stood for. Ultimately, it was Georg's vagrant nature that was his doom; if he had sworn fealty to the Allies, they may have let him return with them and investigated his claims further. For years to come many would debate who the greatest swordsman in history was; While Georg did fall on that day, it was only after taking over a thousand with him.

I don't expect you to forgive me.

He's got a hell of a history. In the Scarlet Moon Empire, he was 1 of the 6 Generals. In the Grasslands, he was an Ebony Moon Knight, and in Falena, he was a Royal Knight. He just threw it all away. If you are the last surviving member of the Allied Unification Army (Town), you will receive a winning victory as if you were a third-party survivor. You can even curse me if you want to. I can take it. You win the game when all threats to the Allied Unification Army has been defeated and at least one Allied Unification Army player is alive

Mod Note: I realize this may be up for debate in post-game, but I do not consider this role to be bastard ala 'mid-game alignment-change'.
This is due to the fact that the player is aware of their optional win condition and that the player's alignment will always be 'Town'.

As the Allied Army returned home after the short and bloody campaign against the Epoch Resistance, everyone was worn thin. The antics of one Egbert Aethelbald did not relieve any member of the standing army. The man was old, loud, and often bragged about a strong history of military prowess and social clout. It wasn't until he started to spread strange letters and call others in his regiment 'filthy devils unfit to win a war' that many began to harbor resentment towards the man.

That may have been why there were no guards at his tent when someone finally came for his life.
That may have been the reason why everyone in his regiment simply packed up and left his corpse to rot.
That may have been why no one's heart was broken when they heard the news.
Perhaps old Aethelbald was right, though. These filthy devils may not be fit to win a war, after all.

That player may then tag another player, passing on the ability to tag as well. You will always be informed of the last person who has been tagged. Any player who is tagged but who has not tagged another player takes one less vote to lynch if you are voting for them. After about a hundred years ago, all record of the Aethelbald family suddenly stops. So Egbert´s either a crazy old man, or he´s a crazy, honest old man. 1-Shot of your choice between Cop, Doctor, Vigilante, and Roleblocker. He´s not the most coherent fellow around. You win the game when all threats to the Allied Unification Army has been defeated and at least one Allied Unification Army player is alive

Varsoon: What happens in happily ever after? Does the faction which initiated the cessation of killing lose or does everyone lose or do you compel that faction to begin killing again?"

I sometimes require that the scum team is forced to kill each night, but I have not in this game due to theme purposes.

I will allow for a 'happily ever after' ending, but only in the instance that there is a majority vote for a No-Lynch, followed by no submitted kill, followed by every living player voting for a 'happily ever after' ending. I feel that this is a thorough enough process and ensures that every player is on-board with the game ending in this highly unusual way.

In the case that the game does end in a 'happily ever after', I will count the game as Draw.

I mentioned 'theme' purposes; in Suikoden II, the only way to get the 'true' good ending was to insist on a draw with the antagonist--that the fighting was pointless and that true peace could not be found through violence. I wanted that to be an option in any Suikoden theme game I ran.

[Varsoon]

As a reminder, flavor does not reflect mechanics.
It was recently brought to my attention that the lynch/kill flavor was not consistent.
This was not meant to indicate a different kind of lynch or kill. The flavor written for flips/lynches only works to build a narrative and does not reflect any mechanical elements of the kill/lynch. If a kill or lynch is meant to be significantly set apart from normal kills and lynches, this will be indicated in clear, non-flavor related terms.

The tension in the camps was palpable, but it soon came crashing down. The Allied Unification Army had a new plan that wouldn't just rout the remaining Epoch Resistance members, but also allow for everyone to return to the past. Through stern regimenting and identification programs, the Allies soon had nothing to fear from spies or assassins. The last remnants of the Epoch Resistance were found in straits and scattered to the winds by the newly bolstered unity of the Allied army. Their final leader was revealed to be no more than a simple housewife who had taken to the blade in order to find her husband in this chaotic world. She fought to the bitter end, and even after she fell, no one was able to locate her husband. It was as if he was always gone; in her death, she would at least be given another chance to be with him.

Not long after that skirmish, the fighting came to an end. Peace was rejoiced and there was great mirth. The revelries clamored on until the day that everyone was finally set to return to their respective timelines. Richmond crossed his fingers at the event, pocketing his journal and hoping that Viki would be able to bring them to the right place this time...

Inspiring Tactician (Allied Unification Army)

A fight won't be pretty.

You have to be firm in your purpose. That's the duty of a leader. Once per day, you may target a player to give them back 1 use of any limited shot power they may have. With an alert mind, you'll be able to make better decisions. Once per game, you may invite another player to become part of Neighborhood with you. Twice per day, you may exchange your current neighbor for a different one. The new neighbor will have access to the same neighborhood used and will be able to see all posts made by previous users.

Leave it to me.

You can't overcome this war just by getting stronger. Twice per day, you may write a message to any another player. She used to be a strategist, but now she is making way for new blood. Once per game, you may use this power. I will lock the thread and give everyone 24 hours to submit a vote to me. When the thread unlocks, each vote will take effect at once. I am prepared.

He's got a hell of a history. In the Scarlet Moon Empire, he was 1 of the 6 Generals. In the Grasslands, he was an Ebony Moon Knight, and in Falena, he was a Royal Knight. He just threw it all away. If you are the last surviving member of the Allied Unification Army (Town), you will receive a winning victory as if you were a third-party survivor. You can even curse me if you want to.

I promise. When the game begins, a player slot will be taken up by a Neutral Party user named 'Bright'. By sending a PM to me, you may have 'Bright' vote, unvote, or make dragon noises. I will fight.

Aging Eccentric (Allied Unification Army)

Filthy Devil!

You have to send exact copies of this letter to twenty-seven people within twenty-seven days. If you don't, you'll be a 'filthy devil.' You may tag a player. That player may then tag another player, passing on the ability to tag as well. You will always be informed of the last person who has been tagged. Any player who is tagged but who has not tagged another player takes one less vote to lynch if you are voting for them. After about a hundred years ago, all record of the Aethelbald family suddenly stops. So Egbert´s either a crazy old man, or he´s a crazy, honest old man. 1-Shot of your choice between Cop, Doctor, Vigilante, and Roleblocker. He´s not the most coherent fellow around.

Beautiful Bane (Allied Unification Army)

A true warrior must make use of all of his skills.

Since I've been endowed with great beauty, why not use it? Once per game, you may target a player during the night phase to have their actions redirected to you. The way he and Flail move on the battlefield -- like the two of them together are one spirit -- no one can top that." 1-shot Ascetic. You may choose when to activate this and you will become unable to be affected by non-killing abilities for the next two phases of the game. I suppose I don't mind if it continues.

Titus Messages Elbirn:

Spoiler:

I am a 2 shot messenger each day plus role to be determined. If you want to work together, I have devised a code to help us communicate in a very limited manner. If I can chain messages together appropriately, eventually I can plot an insane trap for scum. I will need the trust of town though to selectively reveal information. You think I am confirmed town, so I am going to go for an aggressive play.

there is a safe with information. It is locked. The code is a series of characters. The safe code changes with each player, if I message someone else, so only I know the answer.

The first character is your role without modifiers. If your role is best summed up by two letters (example tracker AND watcher) type d/e - for the first character.

A= traditional alignment cop
B = flavor cop
C = role cop
D = tracker
E = watcher
F = Investigative not otherwise specified
G= doctor
H = bodyguard
I = jailor (normal mafia scum variant)
J = healer not otherwise specified
K = roleblocker
L = vanillaizer
M = role fuckery not otherwise specified
N = neighborizer
O = messenger
P = dead chatter
Q = mason
R = messaging role not otherwise specified
S = vigilante
T = multiple voter
U = vote count fucker
V = role not otherwise specified.

The second character is your modifier
1 = weak
2 = strongman
3 = drunk
4 = miller
5 = gravedigger
6 = one shot
7 = two shot
8 = per game
9 = per day

A tracker plus watcher who has two shots each day and is a strongman gravedigger is d/e - 2/7/9.

Next question,

Why am I conftown?
1 = setup reading fail
2 = role guess (include my role)
3 = someone else acting
4 = illegal to state
5 = copped
6 = reason not otherwise specified

If you thought I failed reading the setup with everything else previously stated, that's d/e - 2/7/9 - 1.

To conserve messages, any reference to a player slot should be referred to in the order listed on the front page.

If I trust you, I will open your safe with a code along these lines or a more elaborate message in the future.

Godspeed,

Your resident moon logic messenger of VCA

P.S. No one can break that code.

Titus messages Elbirn:

Spoiler:

Elbrin, it's your favorite messenger again sending you another message. Jeanne and I have decided to trust you. I also have a one shot ability I would like to use to trick the scum. Jeanne neighborized me at the start of the day. I know this looks implausible given our terrible push but just listen.

The plan is as follows: You me and Jeanne pick a townie who scum would love to jump on. You seem like a decent choice. We agree on this person via the following code (all fruit), names match order of post 1.

Apples
Bananas
Cherries
Dragon fruits
Elderberries
Fig
Grapefruit
Hog Plum
Ita Palm
Jujube
Kiwi
Lemon



You claim that there is a one shot role that can lock the thread and require votes to be cast over pm. Day ends after those 24 hours. The mod does no VCs during this period. To counteract this evil role, town must vote (mislynchable townie) or scum. Using the wall would be an excellent way to do this. Bonus if you impersonate me. Jeanne doesn't know about the wall though. Day does not actually end and the votes can be discovered later.

Jeanne and I will already be arguing said townie is scum.

Then, I trigger the ability. The three of us all vote scum (not the townie we pushed). Anyone who casts a vote that's not consistent with their position gets burned.

To accept, Ask what my favorite fruit or vegtable is. My fruit answer will be code matching above. Jeanne jumped the gun on you a bit though lol.
To decline, Say you want to pig out.
To modify state, I need a diet but this food tastes like crap.

Rephrasing is ok but keep the fruits starting with the same letter.

Wheh.
I hope everyone enjoyed this game.
:3

[Varsoon]

If you're interested in the series, I'd recommend checking out either Suikoden II or III. Both can be purchased digitally if you own a Playstation 3.

[Varsoon]

Town did really well in this game, with multiple town players pinning most, if not all, of the scumteam on day 1.

As far as the 'bastard' role; it never loses its town wincon. We discussed this a fair bit in the dead thread. I do agree it's on the verge of what could be considered bastard and I will likely not involve roles similar to it in my future non-bastard games simply because it is such a point of contention.

P-EDIT:
@Skull: Jeeze, let's see...
Steven Universe ended in a scum win.
Space Dandy ended in a scum win.
Varsoon Mafia ended in a scum win.
Micro 302: Return of the Silky ended in a Cult win.
Open 526: Lock, Stock, and Nine Smoking Barrels ended in a scum win.
Micro 277: The Silky ended in a Cult win.

Yup. This is the first game I have run where the town has won. How'about that?

[Varsoon]

PokerFace here, I never played suikoden so I will be wiki-ing flavor stuff as needed

@Elbirn,

who are your scum buddies?

You, lickety, and uhm..whoever that guy was who voted me in page 3. Not brantz, the other one.

*Cough*
Hey Elbirn, let's hydra or play on the same team sometime down the road.

[Varsoon]

The next two games I have on the horizon are
Parasyte Mafia (A Large theme game based on the anime and manga of the same name)
and
Steven Universe Prequel (A 13 player game based on the world of Steven Universe).

After that, I'll likely be running another Varsoon Mafia (large bastard), Rick & Morty Large Theme (also likely to have bastard mechanics), and Samurai Jack Large Theme.
So, yeah! Look forward to all that.
In the meantime, I'm actually not in any games anymore. So if you want me to play with you, let me know.

[Varsoon]

Haha, it's all good. I was amused by the dog thing more than bothered by it.

I love all you guys, and, c'mon, Pre-ins can only ever take up 1/2 the players.

[Varsoon]

Pfft, we'll just have to be masons.
Or one of us will have to roll cop when we're both town.
Or, yeah, let's scumbutt it together.
Find a game.

[Varsoon]

I'm probably going to go ahead with the Steven Universe Prequel game first.
I can only really handle modding a single game at a time right now and that one is the closest to being finished.
I typed up rolecards and made all sorts of promotional imagery for it. :3

Too bad it's a mini-theme and my Pre-ins are probably already full without me realizing it.
It's not like advertising or doing all this work will make it go through the queue any faster.

I really shouldn't put so much effort into my games, most people probably don't notice or care.

[Varsoon]

So long as I have things straight;
My current Pre-ins for the SU:Prequel are Reasonably Rational and Jeanne11.
I'm probably going to send out a PM to everyone who played the first SU Mafia to let them know about this one; several people voiced interest, but it has been so long that just putting them down as pre-ins would probably be a little presumptuous.

I'd be glad to have any of you in that game. You're all fantastic players.
Who knows?
Maybe Xtoxm will finally roll town in a Varsoon game?
Maybe Town will pull another win to even out the record?
Maybe I'll be recognized for my talent and offered a career in running mafia games?
A man can dream.

[Varsoon]

><
Titus, you're on review-crew, you can't play!

Pre-ins are full for SU:Prequel, but I'll still take note of anyone who'd like for me to send them a PM when it's going into actual factual signups.
As of now, it's about to go into the queue (just waiting on a few more checks/balances from reviewers).

[Varsoon]

I'm always happy to have you play, PokerFace. You're very invested and offer a lot of valuable feedback. I think you're a fun player.

To get to your questions:
-Scum's flavor allowed for it and I was curious what a scumteam with more than one protective claim would do with those claims. I wanted the scum team to have, perhaps, the added paranoia of lots of kills being flung around when the reality was that there would only be the one vig kill, if that. Maybe it was also me subconsciously making the vigilante shot be nothing but negative town utility. Regardless, there was a little town paranoia after those flips.

-This plays back into my earlier comment. Yes, Kling's strongman was only really effective against the one-shot (possibly refillable) doctor shot town had. The idea behind that was threefold; I wanted scum to have one kill they could have some confidence in, I wanted scum to be able to shut down a refill-the-doc strategy town came up with, and I wanted there to be reasonable WIFOM if Kling flipped early, as it would give more 'town' credence to the scum protective claims.


Hope that makes sense.

[Varsoon]

I think my primary goals in setup design (after making sure it would fit the flavor) were to ensure that town's roles were independently weak (except masons, imo) but that they would gain strength if used in clever and synergistic ways. I also wanted to give the scumteam what seemed like a strong set of protective roles for a variety of reasons (most of which I have already outlined), especially to give a false sense of town's actual strength.

[Varsoon]

If they act against town, they are playing against their town wincon.
