No, they would not be anonymous, so it would be pretty stupid of scum to always send one of their own. The WIFOM is integral here.- Leafsnail

That's unfortunately probably a good strategy. But I prefer the Proportional Representation one anyway.- The Mini-Librarian

In post 3651, IceGuy wrote:Two ideas I've been thinking about, as an extension of the Executioner/King mechanic:
Council(Mini or Large Theme)
Town elects two people to serve on the council, scum selects one. The council meets and decides about the lynch.
Proportional Representation(Large Theme)
This is a bit more complicated, but here is how it would go down:
Candidacy phase
This would be the main Day phase. In this phase, parties form. A party forms by an application of at least three players. Players can join parties if the majority of the party approves of them and can leave parties by simple declaration. Parties have a QT where all party members can talk at any time.
Alternatively, players can choose to run as an independent, or endorse a party or independent either publicly or non-publicly.
After all players have either joined a party or sent in their choice to run or endorse (or when deadline hits), the candidacy phase is closed.
Distribution of the seats
A parliament with a small number of players is formed by the D'Hondt method (with random selections if necessary). The number of votes for a party or independent is the sum of the number of members and the number of endorsements. Seats that go to a party go to random party members; if a party would get more seats than the number of members (or an independent would get more than one seat), the seat is filled by the next party (or left empty if no other possibility).
Decision phase
The parliament now gets to decide on everything by a simple vote: player(s) getting killed, but also all other town actions.
The part where I'm unsure of how is how parliamentary meetings would go down. This could be completely open (in-thread, everybody can talk but only MPs can vote) to completely closed (QT) to something in-between (in-thread but only MPs can talk).
What do you think, and was this ever run before?
Personally, I would love to play this.- Mr. Flay

Yeah, without some sort of forced anonymity I can't see how you'd get the Scum Councilor to have any effect.Retired as of October 2014.- MonkeyMan576

There was a 50 player game run recently, I guess you could try the same mechanics as that, 100 players playing a normal game of mafia is just a bad idea.Holder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023

The concept I had in mind wasn't "normal" per se. There would be lots of variations to make it more plausible.- Maestro

I can actually see it happening.
Also, I think it can be rather enjoyable, as long as you put something around myko's mechanic, otherwise 1 lynch per day would never end.
Also, have something like 1-2 week inactivity rules. Anyone who doesn't post get's modkilled, rather than attempting to replace them.vezokpiraka: If you are playing on EUNE we can duo.
