Game Name:

Mislead 2: A Maze of our Own Devising

Game Type:

Open Theme (setup is mathematically equivalent to Predict the Flip)

Game Size:

9

Bastard?:

No; the setup is fairly weird but all aspects of how it operates are public, and any flavour cues will be randomized to avoid modWIFOM

Hydras Allowed?:

Yes,

but

both heads of a hydra must

individually

comply with activity requirements

Other Restrictions?:

No

hard

requirements, but I wouldn't recommend this for your first game onsite or if you're uncomfortable with mechanically unusual setups; note that the setup is one in which a townie is guaranteed to win if they call the scumteam correctly, and thus will probably be mostly dayplay focused

Description:

A sequel to Micro 632: Mislead. The creators of a deadly maze have been trapped inside; can they find their way to the exit? Seven of the players (this game's "town") just want to survive, and will tell the truth about which paths in their section of the maze are safe. Two of the players (this game's "scum") would rather maintain the legend of the maze forever, and will lie in an attempt to ensure that nobody escapes. The game

has no normal lynches or nightkills

; rather, players die as a result of taking dangerous paths in the maze (due to following scum, or failing to follow townies), and vote on the order in which to attempt sections. Town wins if any players are still alive after all nine sections of the maze have been attempted. If a player "dies" but their section has not been attempted yet, they can still post in-thread (treestump-style) until their section comes up. Each player also has a "joker" which they can use once in the game to exempt themself from having to choose a path in another player's section.

Expect rather more flavour than in the original maze. Because the players have built the maze themselves, they can optionally send me flavour advice on what their area of the maze is like, and I'll work it into the game's flavour (although no matter what, the safe path is always chosen randomly). If you're not interested in influencing the flavour, that's fine too; I'll come up with something myself.

Sméagol will be backup- or co-mod (currently sorting that out by PM).

Marquis, may I have permission to create PTs in order to get reviewing / role PMs / etc. set up ahead of time? (I technically have PT creation access anyway from Micro 643, but am unclear on whether I'm allowed to use it for an unrelated purpose without permission.)

I am so tired, but setting up the Biology game right now.
Hopefully gets started tonight.

Nope

Description

: On MafiaScum, there exists, a fabled thread - Worst Role Ideas. This is a Great-Idea-like randomly chosen role sorta thing, so expect no balance. Like, literally none. There will be at least 5 town - if this doesn't happen, roles will be re-rolled. I will not include roles which are unwinnable or which can end the game instantly on D1 or N1. Some roles may be tweaked, such as some third-party (or alignment-not-given) roles being made town for not having a particularly unique win condition (seriously, read the thread - loads of roles are third-party) or for the actual role part of their role being unrelated to their alignment. This game will be super bastard too.
Roles will not be included which are:
hugely game-breaking (D1 or N1 instawin, etc)
require or strongly encourage the breaking of site rules
probably some others too idk
Roles will be generated from the thread using random.org, and if a post has more than one role in it, random.org will be used again to determine which one.

Was originally going to rerun this as a Mini Theme but hey the micro queue is empty so why not just do it here?
