other jargon that may be helpful to new players: the "flip" is when a player dies and the mod reveals their alignment. such a player is said to be "flipped." This often the only way alignment is truly confirmed. "Claim" is word that has specific meaning in a game, it means to identify what your own role is. A "softclaim" is an allusion to having a role, a "hardclaim" is specifically saying that you have a role.

How would you feel about some sort of ambiguous mod announcement when it happened, perhaps tied into flavor? This would indicate that something happened to that player, but not necessarily what.

EccoRaven posted:I think the wiki covers most common vocab really well, and I suspect Foo just wanted to make a first post without saying "first post yeah woo." i did want to firstpost but i was also addressing a couple of things that came up in the previous game i played, which had a bunch of new players in it!

EccoRaven posted:Agreed, though I think balance is a separate (but intimately related) issue to "is it fun for the player." Though something like this: I was thinking a bolded flavor thing, e.g. i had a 1-shot deathproof player in one of my games; when that player otherwise would have died, the thread got the notice e.g. EccoRaven was gravely wounded Night 2!

EccoRaven posted:So would the town be told "Captain Foo was visited by Hal Incandenza" the next day or something? And then if/when Hal dies and flips cult recruiter the town has their work cut out for them? perhaps, or something less direct, like EccoRaven had an unusual encounter! Just something that can be pointed to as an indicator that something happened, to avoid Asiina posted:A specific example I can only sorta remember is Ernie being town and changing to scum, but I could not believe that scum Ernie would behave a certain way D1 and D2, and I was right, since he wasn't scum then.

100YrsofAttitude posted:Have you read my mafiathoughts.doc? I have this very same idea noted down somewhere. I eventually gave it up when I realized I had no where near the experience to try to balance such a game. My idea ranged across three players who affected it via good vs. neutral vs. chaotic (like D&D alignments). In the end though, I felt it wouldn't be particular fun for the non-god players and those actions could just as easily be done in a more fair way by the mod themselves. please post the mafiathoughts.doc

100YrsofAttitude posted:The duel thing should work fine. It sounds a bit like the mechanic in a temple game. I think the problem that would arise is if you get two townie dueling and scum just checking out seeing as they're not in harm's way. oh, i gotcha

Kashuno posted:This came up in a recent game, and I'm kinda curious about the thought behind it as no one seemed to feel it was weird but me. What is the point of claiming, but not full claiming, in some contexts? We had a player claim they knew, undoubtedly, that a player was scum but they would not reveal their actual role. Claiming you know someone will for sure flip scum seems like a great way to get yourself targeted for the NK, so why not fullclaim then and there? Typically, to obscure how you know. Maybe you're a tracker, or a watcher, who spotted the previous NK. Maybe you're a Cop. Maybe you received a message. Maybe your masonbuddy is a cop. Maybe you're bluffing.

I could run BroFia II or Wizard Mafia II, both of those games have straightforward setups, good flavor, and a little more going on than a basic F11. Both were originally closed-setup, but it's probably okay to recycle them if it's all new players (Both in general or to the setup)

Asiina posted:I wonder if there could be a postpone mechanic. If the majority of people don't feel confident enough to lynch anyone you could vote to postpone it to the next day, where now you have to lynch two people. Whether it'd be double plurality or just hammer, day continues until second hammer, I'm not sure. Also I'd probably limit it to just one per game. I dunno, just throwing ideas out. this is an interesting idea but i feel it will be unlikely to be used given our reliance on the (extremely excellent) votefinder

Rarity posted:I totally agree with this. If you're convinced that someone is town then don't vote to lynch them. It's better to no lynch than lynch town and at the end of the day you're not the only person who can drop the hammer so you're only responsible for what you do. Even though it sometimes bites me in the rear end I'm still willing to take a stand to protect someone. This is most commonly a problem on D1, imo, and it's very unlikely to be strongly convinced of anything D1 to make no-lynch the better option

I've hit update and it will work for that instance, but if I go back to the webpage later it will be stuck on the unresolved votes again. you killed mafia. Congrats
