Shot in the Dark [GAME OVER]

xyzzy · Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Sat Jul 02, 2016 3:31 am

this is an experimental open setup for 8 players. it has:

2 mafia
6 townies

and each night, as long as neither member of the mafia has died, each townie can submit a list of who they think the mafia is; if any player who isn't night killed submits a completely accurate list, the town wins. if a member of the mafia dies, this just becomes a regular mountainous game. lynching is mandatory, and if no majority has been reached by the end of the day, plurality will decide the lynch, and if there's a tie, a random person will be chosen from among the people who received the most votes. mafia will only be able to communicate at night.

I'm pretty flexible on how long days should be based on your schedules, so when you /in, include a timeframe between, say, 15 minutes and 2 hours for how long you'd like each day to be; I'll try to pick something as close to what everyone wants as possible.

1. Wisdom
2.

McMenno

Bellaphant
3.

Creature

gorkington - dead, townie
4. Firebringer - dead, townie
5. Transcend - dead, townie
6. Sakura Hana - dead, mafia goon
7.

inspectorscout

Ircher
8. implosion

generating and distributing roles now

since only one person said something I'm going to say... 30 minute deadlines, to be on the safe side.

a bit of analysis: mafia self-hammering day 1 definitely feels like a breaking strategy here; 1:6 mountainous technically has a lower EV for scum with completely random choices by a very thin margin, but since choices aren't random, it's probably worse for town.

xyzzy · Post Post #261 (isolation #24) » Sat Jul 02, 2016 6:39 am

does anyone have any thoughts on the following amendment to the rules:

the day 1 lynch's alignment isn't revealed until day 2, and townies are able to submit lists night 1 that include the day 1 lynch.

In post 270, implosion wrote:it's definitely an interesting setup xyzzy. I agree that there needs to just be some kind of extra incentive to lynch scum d1 - the first thought i had was that if scum is lynched d1, then on n1 only, town can submit who they think the scumpartner is, and if at least two non-NKed townies submit the name of the scum then town win.

this seems to be a really good variant; I might run another iteration of this later on today if there's interest with this change.
