- Do the role names need to be changed to fit site conventions?
- Is this balanced, if not what way?
- How would you balance it while keeping it as close to the setup in the video as possible?
- Is this better as an open, or a theme game with an open setup?
The setup:
1 Made Man
Can convert one person to a Mafia Goon
at night, can convert N0, must convert by end of N23 Mafia Goons
Mafia factional kill starts from N12 Cops
Have night chat, know if their partner gets made manned (they don't wake up), 1 investigation per night as group, starting N12 Nurses
Have night chat, know if their partner gets made manned (they don't wake up), 1 save per night as group, starting N1, cannot save same person more than once1 Virgin
No night following their lynch1 Vigilante
May kill any night, including N0, must kill at least every other night (i.e. first kill must be by N1)9 Vanilla Townies
The other main difference from forum mafia is the multiple night chats combined with in person play means that if a cop or nurse gets made manned their partner would know that night because they wouldn't wake up until after it had happened. Similarly if you get made manned you got to participate in the mafia night chat that night. However I can't see a way to replicate this in forum games without a painfully long night session.
