"In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies." Welcome to XCOM Mafia! This is a game for 16 players following The Nailbiter setup. Rules:
Setup: The Nailbiter (all credit to Lumpen)
The order above is also the order abilities are resolved in. For instance, if the doctor targets the same person as the SK, the doc will get a "success" result but the target will still die, indicating an SK kill. No role can self-target or target the same person on consecutive nights, unless an attempt fails. Scum have a single nightkill. All kills and skills may be withheld. Results are given as "your action succeeded" or "your action failed" for most actions. The Tracker gets "<player> appeared to visit <player>", and the Cop gets "<player> appears to be LOYAL/NOT LOYAL." All Role PMs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yw4fH7E-wEPhjzJ7T3z4m6cTBT6G8qjDduwHTRv71Xs/edit?usp=sharing Versatile Backup Role PM: quote:
Player List
If you haven't played XCOM 2 yet you should go play XCOM 2 you big dummies. I am still working on the role PMs, but this will be a game of XCOM guerrilla agents (scum team) against those Loyal to the Advent (town). Truth Quark fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Mar 17, 2016 |

Protip, flavor does not play well with Nailbiter, as I found out. Either don't bother with it or include it in the open setup, or be aware that that will 100% remove the ability to fakeclaim unless you provide fakeclaims to scum for each of the power roles. Not a signup post yet, I need to limit how many games I'm in concurrently. We'll see how long this takes to fill.

I am going to make it public, flavor is half the fun.

Yep, I'd love to play. Also I would recommend making explicit that night actions are processed in the order listed in the OP, so for example the Jailer who target the Roleblocker makes the RB fail, and if the SK targets the Scum nightkiller, the Scum kill fals to happen.

Eh, but SK goes subsequent to Town, so that if a victim dies in the night despite the Doc/Jailer getting a "successful" night result, that power role can know it was an SK kill.

Updated the OP to reflect that information, just under the role list

Another question worth getting answered up front... will you take replacements? Will you modkill for inactivity? I recommend explicitly declaring that you won't replace or modkill, in hopes that only people willing to solidly commit will sign up. Replacement issues marred Podima's game, but later on, the decision of not replacing or modkilling TheCog after he went inactive lead to some pretty interesting action and strategic play. Any modkill pretty much destroys this setup.

As the OP says, I am reserving the right to modkill at my own discretion. I might put in a blurb about replacements being only a last resort option though, since emergencies and other weird things do happen. If someone wants to replace out during the game though, even if the OP says I won't do it, they still have the option of just not playing. It is, unfortunately, a self-policing thing because even if I modkill them it just gives them what they want. We'll see what happens.

I might put in a blurb about replacements being only a last resort option though, since emergencies and other weird things do happen. Especially the practice of replacement, it's totally corrosive in subtle ways. When it's an option, there's less commitment. Also, a Scum needs to be able to demoralize and intimidate and bait people into looking Scummy, and it's not fair to Scum if someone can just replace out after being galled into a tantrum and be replaced with a set of fresh eyes that can look at the thread objectively and easily dodge a mislynch. The mind game is all part of the fun. Just my soapbox opinion, I should take it to the discussion thread because this is your game I think you'll do great.

This is unlikely to fill up fast because of all the active games, but I will leave it open so people can mosey over as their games finish out.

This is not a sign up post yet, in too many games. But I want to play if it takes awhile to open. I really like the setup.

We should try the day 1 full claim this time.

I certainly won't stop you if thats the route you decide to take. Better hope Lumpen isn't your scum team again though.

I really feel like it's worth the experiment to test Nailbiter in that scenario. If it doesn't happen this game it should happen eventually.

The Role PMs have now been added to the OP.

Just FYI for those who signed up I have not given up on this, hopefully we can get some sign ups now that some other games are winding down.

It's probably time to re-advertise this. I'm in.

Yep, although apparently CYOS games are all the rage these days (how do you even parse what is going on in that game?).
