Greatest Idea VIII

Moderated by Micc
Backed up by PenguinPower

Greatest Idea Mafia is a semi-open setup with a UPick-esque role choice mechanic that allows
players to choose their role and alignment given a set of options.

Previous Greatest Idea Games I've Moderated:
Micro 424 | Micro 438 | Mini 1798 | Micro 750 | Micro 809 | Micro 815 | Greatest Idea VII

Features:

• 14 to 21 players.
  
• Two weeks per day phase/48 hours per night phase.

Setup Information

• This is a Greatest Idea Mafia game, which has 14 to 21 total players.
  
• Three separate setups will be generated for this game. The setup with the best overall balance between factions will be used as determined by the game moderator.
  
• For each setup, the cards numbered 1-146 (as listed on the 5th of May, 2017 revision of the Greater Idea Mafia page) will be shuffled, and three are given to each player. Each card represents an alignment and role.
  
• Players will receive one PM with the cards they have been dealt in each of the three setups.
  
• Players will have 48 hours to choose for each setup: one card to represent their alignment, and a second, different card to represent their ability. The third card will be publicly discarded.
  
• Once all players have submitted their choices a setup will be determined and role PM's will be sent out.
  
• All private threads in this game are open for Daytalk.
  
• Here is a sample Vanilla Townie Role PM:
