BLOODBORNE MAFIA - GAME OVER

[Nahdia]

I think the single biggest problem with this setup was the multivoting. Pebbles and Blood Cocktails were only very conditionally useful counterplay. Combine that with the fact that my role was scum and could unilaterally lynch once I had the votes, the way these last few games panned out could only have been avoided if you killed me very quickly. Which you didn't; instead I amassed a lot of power.

I could counter the shit out of you since my vote makes you unable to vote me and we would be gladiating

Yeah, I said the same to FA. Your role was a direct counter to mine. Although, my role did grant me access to Transcendence any time I wanted it Meaning I could lynch you even with your bloodletting me.

Lilith we should hydra again, I think we worked well together

[Varsoon]

I'm holding a poll in my signature, but I've got no idea, really.
I might not even run any of those themes listed there, but, uh, I can give a brief summary of the ideas I have for them?

@Nahdia: I think many people misunderstood Blood Cocktails and Pebbles. It always stops the first vote they can render, not just the first singular vote rendered. Pebble forces that first vote rendered to stay on you. I did not make this explicit enough and only realized late on that it was that way.

P-EDIT:
Don't expect the 'Captain'/'Huntmaster' mechanic to return any time soon, either.
I like it, but I don't want to design another game around it right now.

[Titus]

I won't likely participate in any other varsoon game with the captain thingi mechanic anyway

I'm done after saga and this.

But but nut but we said we would hydra in all varsoon games ;~;

Easy way to resolve...no town elected captaincy.

I am not a fan of that mechanic.

OH.

YEAH THAT WASN'T CLEAR.

[Varsoon]

@Titus: I'm a bit drained now, but I'll talk to Not!Varsoon and we'll pow-wow some ideas soon, yeah.

[Nahdia]

I think the Captain mechanic would work in an anon game. Might help it become less of a dick measuring contest.

Otherwise they are completely useless, dude.
You could just unvote/revote because Pebble/Cocktail are public use.

[Nahdia]

Well I guess I should have asked 101 questions.

Holy fuck.

[Varsoon]

I thought that the current descriptions were enough but that's because I didn't think people could possibly interpret the item to be useless.

VARSOON PLEASE IGBORW THE POLL UNDERTALE DO IT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[Randomnamechange]

Captain mechanics are bad for mafia in general

[SirCakez]

The last time I played in an Undertale game it was a broken bastard shitfest that allowed rolecard quoting *shudders*

[Nahdia]

I really liked the Hunting Partys. and the Nightmares WERE cool, especially how they involved dead people. as well as the courier system (I wish I could have messaged dead people tho!)

So like, did Sensei really flake? The scum in his PT was bulletproof anyway but...

[Varsoon]

Here's a couple theme ideas I have rolling around, I guess:

WAKFU - Pretty straightforward themed game with a 'Party' mechanic that will allow players to make their own Neighborhoods with whoever they want and go on adventures.
MAGIC THE GATHERING - The game will feature a 'Planeshift' mechanic where the public mechanic will change with every coming day phase. Every player will get to choose which 'color' they want to be and will be given 'cards' that they can play as their abilities.
HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC - Straightforward Upick where players choose which Faction they want to align with. Over the course of the game, roles will 'level up'.
FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - I want to run this as a secret alt game. The main feature will be that every player will have access to a unique game-defining ability/Zodiac Stone. There will also be a whole job system similar to the one in the game.
UNDERTALE - The game/roles will be able to fluctuate between 'Pacifist' and 'Genocide' game states that will influence what each role can do.
PARASYTE - Players will be able to steal other players' roles and identities. I'm considering going full-on with this and also making it a secret alt game where players can literally steal another player's account and continue posting as them. Maybe.
BRAVELY DEFAULT - Lottery pick of the RPG's roles. Players will get to form parties and save the world. I am considering making this a very non-traditional mafia game.
FIST OF THE NORTH STAR - Look, man, I don't have any great ideas for this, I just like Fist of the North Star.
SAMURAI JACK - Each day will be an 'Episode' of the series, which will allow certain characters different abilities.
GUNDAM: UNIVERSAL CENTURY - As the game progresses, the timeline will as well. So roles will fluctuate in power as the various characters join the war, get better mobile suits, retire, etc.
SENGOKU BASARA - I'm thinking of using a unique 'Dueling' mechanic for this game. Otherwise, every player will have an army and will be able to do war with other players! Powerful alliances will be drawn, and, ultimately, the fate of Japan will be decided.
MONSTER RANCHER - You'll be able to give me a list of your favorite games/movies and I will generate a unique 'team of monsters' that will become your role. These monsters will be able to level up and upgrade and help you win!
4CHAN - Mostly a meme game with roles embodying 4chan's boards. Mite b cool.
MEGAMAN BATTLENETWORK - Two separate threads--one that only Net Navis can access and one that the regular players access. Each player will get a role that grants them access to a Net Navi that they can anonymously post and interact from.

BlaaaaGhhghhgh... That's pretty much it.

Our game ended day one. I had no idea it'd be that big of a deal. Living and learning and questioning my competency XD

Cerb I gave you everything ;~;


Also I know that Hobbes and I both second running Undertale : D

[Nahdia]

I felt so goofy killing Sensei first and seeing OF COURSE HIS IS THE ROLE THAT LETS HIM USE ACTIONS AFTER DEATH XD

[Varsoon]

Not!Varsoon joked that I should completely ignore the poll and instead make a Mike Tyson Mysteries theme game.
But that'd be, like, the definition of me making a game only I'm excited about.

PLEASE UNDERTALE VARSOON GAME

[Titus]

How is Shadowrun not in your pool Varsoona?
