[Setup Idea] [EV] Dangerous Information

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Fri Oct 15, 2021 8:56 pm

Post by RH9 »

I have this idea of a setup, which I will probably continue to work on. I think I need help avoiding making it too Town-sided or Mafia-sided. Also what would this be considered as?

Dangerous Information

3 Vanilla Townies

3 Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies

2 Mafia Goons

Informed Mafia Goon


The
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
each receive a list of three randomly selected players, different to each other, each including the identities of one
Vanilla Townie
, one
Mafia Goon
, and another player who can be both
Town
or
Mafia
. The
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
will not be informed of each other's identity or the identity of the
Informed Mafia Goon
.

The
Informed Mafia Goon
is given clues towards the identities of the three
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
. The clues are the identities of the three players given to each
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townie
, listed exactly as they were given to each, but randomly sorted.

Mafia may only use their PT to perform their factional kill, during the Night.

I don't see how it makes game more fun

I changed into a Mountainous setup with only
Vanilla Townies
and
Mafia Goons
. The
Mafia Goons
can't kill the
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
, even though, the
Informed Mafia Goon
can figure out who the
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
are. Instead, the
Mafia Goons
need to convince the
Town
to eliminate the
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
. The
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
know that at least one of the three players they each received is definitely a
Mafia Goon
, and need to hunt with this information, already in mind.

And by the way,
Dangerous Information
is just the Setup Name for now. It refers to the
Informed Mafia Goon
and the
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
, who are given the eponymous "
Dangerous Information
".

To be fair, it is technically a variant of a one-sided Best Friend because the
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
know that at least one of the players is definitely
Town
, but those players aren't informed of the idenities of the
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
. The
Informed Mafia Goon
can figure out the identities of the three
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
, but not the other way round. Essentially, the
Town
is full of one-sided Informed Players.

Did I balance the setup, now that the
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
can confirm one player on their list with information from each other? The
Informed Mafia Goon
now needs to think about how many Town players were actually given to the
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
, and they can pass this information along to the other Mafia to help decide their NK.

Should I rewrite the setup in a new post (but same topic)?

Here is the rewritten setup. Now there is one
Town
with the exact information as the
Mafia
except they don't know who's Mafia. And I'll probably rename the rewritten setup as
Do You Have A Secret?
. This refers to the secret information two thirds of the players know. The
Informed Vanilla Townie
is like a Best Friend, and knows the second highest amount of knowledge of all players. They have to try to stay hidden.

Do You Have A Secret?

3 Vanilla Townies

2 Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies

Informed Vanilla Townie

2 Mafia Goons

Informed Mafia Goon


The
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
each receive a list of three randomly selected players, different to each other, each including the identities of one
Vanilla Townie
, one
Mafia Goon
, and another player who can be both
Town
or
Mafia
. The
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
will not be informed of each other's identity or the identity of the
Informed Mafia Goon
.

The
Informed Mafia Goon
and
Informed Vanilla Townie
is given clues towards the identities of the two
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townies
. The clues are the identities of the three players given to each
Informed Bulletproof Vanilla Townie
, listed exactly as they were given to each, but randomly sorted.
