Running A Game With No Scum

[Cook]

First off, yes, I am new to this site and know very little about it.

However, I had a thought a while ago.

What if someone were to run a closed setup of some sort in which it was all Town players and the players weren't informed of this?

Distribute some power roles, and mod-kill someone at random (prove by posting in a PT with dice tags) each night, and give the win to the last (three? two? one?) survivor(s), or give all survivors the win if someone realizes there are no scum.

There may be better ways to get the kills.

Alternatively I think it would technically be less bastard if you make everyone secretly n-night suicidal and restrict the random elements to roll distribution. People are still going to find this abhorrent though.

[Awoo]

I saw someone do this in a f2f game on April fool's day. The last 3 survivors were the loudest people in the room. I'm glad I wasn't in it.

who would this be fun for?

[Jake The Wolfie]

I believe this would not be classifiable as mafia.

[Flavor Leaf]

I think you could do something like 2 scum in it or all town, and by like Day 3 the remaining town has to guess if they are all town or not, or risk losing. Obviously some more mechanics fleshed out, but premise.

Flavor Leaf's semi-open concept is very solid. As a closed setup with no forewarning to the players, this is not something you want to run with the purpose of having your players enjoy the game.

I've heard this was ran before, can anyone elsr confirm?

And yeah if you run that, prepare to get screamed at by players

[Isis]

I'm aware of this one:
viewtopic.php?f=56&t=15624
In postgame the players seem to be referencing another one being run, with more warning that there might not be scum.

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

Wasn't there another one that didn't have any scum at all?

Spontaneous Bastard Mafia II.

Entire game was VTs.

[Nero Cain]

there was kuroi's wee game that had a token vt and everyone was either survivors or pairs of scum teams

[Something_Smart]

Don't do this.

[Ramcius]

Why make random kills? Just make nightless, maybe even flipless game, if you really want to do this

[Something_Smart]

There was this one: viewtopic.php?f=84&t=75271

Which unsurprisingly was a mess.

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

no not that one, i think it was called something like "life after death" though

I would play this (and probably lose it, because FL would be scum in it).
You'd want to rand like between 1-3 scum, and have town accurately guess the number of remaining scum, I think?

I like this.

[Alisae]

tbh i opened the thread and thought the title of the thread said "ruining" instead of running

[Jake The Wolfie]

Runeing a game with no scum

[StarToAYoungCulture]

It exists

[Jake The Wolfie]

Usually they aren't really fun.
