Flagbearer Nightless
6 Vanilla Townies

3 Mafia Goons


During the Pre-Game, the Mafia select 1 Flagbearer for the Mafia and 1 Flagbearer for the Town - the Town Flagbearer is informed of their status as the Flagbearer for the Town.

If the Mafia Flagbearer is executed - the town wins.
If the Town Flagbearer is executed - the mafia wins.

The Mafia also win if they establish parity with the town

Fae of Wishes

3 Mafia

During day 1, players may first/second/nth a motion to invite a player from outside the game to become a faerie. The moderator will contact users who are "6thed" and confirm up to three acceptances in the thread. Faeries win with the town.
Night 1, there is no factional nightkill and a random
Townie
becomes
Favoured by the Fae
. The following things are true about you if you are
Favoured by the Fae
for as long as you are
Favoured by the Fae
:
  • You are eliminationproof
  • You have daytalk and nighttalk in the Fae PT, where all three faeries also have daytalk and nighttalk
  • You have a night action that will cause you to no longer be
    Favoured by the Fae
    and will cause your target to become
    Favoured by the Fae
    . It will fail if the target is mafia or is being visited by mafia.
The mafia are multiacting and have a factional roleblock. Faeries have no activity requirement and won't be replaced.
I love this concept

Feedback:



Spoiler:
Won’t you be my neighbor?
4-9 Nightless with neighbor drafting –
This is a cool setup – I like it and would play it – maybe consider giving the mafia a 1 shot day-kill

Darkness:
3-10 MT with lightbearer selected PRs.
PRs are kind of confusing – not sure how many PR uses town will get – feels like this might be a bit townsided as the scum can’t really remove TPRs?


The Council Has Spoken:
I like the concept but when do the council night actions have to be decided? Seems like it is easy for a mafia in the council to leak the info- what if a council member changes the actions at the last second to try to avoid that? Seems like it is susceptible to some night deadline shenanigans.

Fae of Wishes:
I love this faerie council concept – it seems a bit swingy in that if the mafia kill the townie that is favored by the fae the town basically loses all of their power? Am I reading that correctly? Maybe it would be fun to have the Faerie vote on who to become “favored by the fae” and not tie favoring to alignment but instead give it some other power? Would love to play this ^_^

Pick Your Player:
This is a cool concept. Is point passing done in real time? Do players know how many points they have at all times? I can see this being very breakable if a UTR collects all the points and then distributes them for optimal role distribution.

Changing Fate:
This is very wild, can’t wait to see what you come up with for the roles – the overall theme feels very fun to do. I played in Maria’s tarot card game and it was a lot of fun :3

Trick & Treats:
Wooden Pipe seems imbalanced – what would prevent the town from just giving everyone wooden pipes and chain investigating everyone?

Bazaar:

I like the concept but think there is too much power if its all available to bid on right away for scum to get to an early lead. Would be cool if there are multiple bidding phases with random things available at each phase so there is some “economy” to the game and it makes sense to save money etc. Would play this.

Won’t You Be My Lover:

This is even cooler than the previous Ircher setup – would play 100%

Primed for Ignition:

Not sure how balanced this is – seems like it really ties the mafia’s hands with the order of the nightkills.

Metagame:

Feels like too much power – can assign 2 per color and there would be a ton of power roles? Not sure how balanced that would be but would be fun to play :3.


Voting:


Hectic > Isis > Ircher > Pooky > Ceejay > Mizzy > Kanna > TLich > TBone > Not Known > Jake

we could just murder the people who submit setups and don't submit ballots

I think that would be the most equitable solution Isis.
