Nope. If you want bastardry I suggest you check out my mini theme when it hits signups.Is it possible your game has any of the following procedurally bastard dynamics? adding players midgameDescription: For the uninitiated, BoP mafia is an experiment from a few years back that worked pretty well. 3 Town and 2 Scum duking it out with a Safety net beneath the town team. It has a perfectly even EV for town and scum. So... Let's throw a wrench in those works.
This setup will be identical to BoP mafia in all regards except three:
All town and scum players will be given a secret alt to post from.
Once per game BEFORE the elimination the Paragons may choose to guess the identity of every player in the thread. If they are completely accurate they will win exclusively (Both town and scum will lose). This guess will take place in the Paragon thread and thus will not have a visible effect unless it is successful.
Paragons will only be able to win via guessing the scumteam or the alt identities. They will not win after a single scum elimination.
Have you ever thought that as a spectator you could call the scum team or alt accounts of everyone in the game? Put your money where your mouth is and show it.
Signups will take place as normal for a non secret alt game. When signing up, please specify Paragon or Nonparagon. The game will be full when there are five nonparagons and at least one paragon signed up. If there are open paragon slots, you may PM me to join the game as a paragon after the commencement of the game. If a non paragon slot would be replaced, instead they will be the elimination. Please do not join unless you think you can see this game through to completion, although that shouldn't take too long.
Paragons will not be using mod provided secret alts, as there is no reason for a paragon to have to guess their own identity. If you would like to be a paragon using a secret alt of your own, I have no issues with that. However I might provide a single Paragon-Hydra account to the Paragon thread to use to post in-game if they wish to hide which paragon is posting.
Secret Alts in use this game will be made available later
