[setup] dance besties

[RH9]

Spoiler: original idea

• two members of the town will be besties and be informed of each other's identities at the start of the game
  
• each player may propose a pairing of two other players during the pairing phase
  
• a pairing will form if both of those players accept the proposal
  
• any unpaired players by the end of the pairing phase will be forced to leave the dance
  
• there will be an unlimited amount of dance phases, with each ending upon a pair leaving the dance
  
• there will be no intermission but a member of the scum may at any point during the dance phase publicly guess who the two besties are (including guessing deceased players)
  
• if the scum manage to guess the besties, they will instantly win; otherwise, normal win conditions will apply
  
• only alignments will flip

Is the guess 1 per scum?

you also forgot to put the alignement ratios, which idk, i think it would be balanced at the normal dance numbers?

yes and good catch.
i was intending to go for regular alignment ratios.

[Gypyx]

sounds balanced then maybe the besties also having a PT could make it more interesting but i fear it'll make things skew townsided

the fact that there's an unlimited number of dances is already pretty big for town

[RH9]

true.
what do you think of having a 3n:n ratio where n is the amount of scum?
(basing it off jingle's swinger's hall)

But Swinger's Hall had a gimmick that everyone started paired. This one doesn't so it should have an odd number probably.

i might change it to let people start with a partner then and remove the shipping mechanic.

Spoiler: setup variation i

• players sign up as a pair with another player
  
• two members of the town will be besties and be informed of each other's identities at the start of the game
  
• during the reception phase, players may choose to swap dance partners
  
• there will be an unlimited amount of dance phases, with each ending upon a pair leaving the dance
  
• at any point during a dance, a player may choose to force their own pair to leave the dance
  
• there will be no intermission but a member of the scum may at any point during the dance phase publicly guess who the two besties are (including guessing deceased players)
  
• if the scum manage to guess the besties, they will instantly win; otherwise, normal win conditions will apply
  
• only alignments will flip
