quote:"What am I even doing, this isn't what I signed up for..." contemplates Yami as the plots and plans race through their head. It sounded like a fun little jaunt. Move to Cubetown for a little bit, investigate a cast of wacky characters, and act as a backstop against tomfoolery. It went off the rails immediately. The protection you brought wound up being more cursed than useful. At long last though, you're finally able to drift off to that eternal slumber and be rid of this nonsense.  quote:Never the hero, not the sidekick. But the wise one. The trusted one. When the one in charge is going to act, make the hard decision that could spell doom for all, you're there as the backstop. They can't do it without you. You need to turn the second key before that plastic guard around that big red button opens. If you can't be trusted, who can? That's...just what you want them to think. -------------------------------- quote:You've done it! You've finally figured out all the who's, what's, and how's of every Cubetown resident! Unfortunately, there are quite a bit fewer of them now. But that's not your problem. With the census data now comprehensive and complete, Illu is able to proverbially ride off into the sunset! quote:- You cannot be permanently voted out. (You share a collective one-shot no-execute with at least one other player. If you were to be voted out after that, you become a non-voting stump that can still fulfill your wincon.)  It is now Day 6! Deadline in about 53 hours 4 PM Central Thursday.

I'm going to assume that the kill was a leftover poisoner kill. So I think at this point we have to kill normal players or they just control the vote?

See, because of plurality rules, if you vote me out today, the game drags on for at least two more days and everyone dies at the end with 2 people voting each other The only way to win from here is to refuse to kill

Why not just vote you or Plastic and then no-execute tomorrow? At least then we'll be even.

Because it's a pointless extra day and then I (or plastic) would presumably lose the game  That said, I've been thinking of it as TMor, Punk, Josef and Zoya being the scum and the rest of us being town, so in that sense I've already won my victory. If you really need to vote me off for personal satisfaction I won't hold it against you.

quote:"And every rube down in Cubeville, the tall and the small, was waiting, without *any* voting or killing at all! The lack of sanity hadn't stopped the endgame from coming, it came! Somehow or other...it came just the same." Additional (unexpected) victories go to: Rhymes with Clue, Fool of Sound, and Neverhelm (and Illu who already won)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEP7z39NCGs And I really regret saying this: CubicalSucrose posted:Additionally, this is not a game where voting "no elimination" is a broadly winning strategy. Wincons have been provided. (OP was long but I tried to be explicit about 'no "hidden to everyone" win conditions.') Remaining players were: Maugrim & NeverHelm - Sanity Checkers Plastic, RwC, and FoS - Alignment Checkers ------------------------- What a wild ride! Thanks everyone for indulging me with Concoction #2. Hope it was some level of fun for at least To address the question of "Is this Mafia?" - Maugrim a few months back (after I accidentally reinvented Survivor with a setup idea I had), suggested that mafia has "the concepts of town & scum, night kill, day vote." This (experimental) game skirted the edges of those a bit, for sure, but it had most of those. Though what actually played out D1 kicked it over an unfun line. Illu's role could have done something very similar D1. It was a bit risky, probably too risky. As it was, I felt like the game was much closer to RimWorld 2 (and I cribbed the "experimental" word from that OP) in style, though some disagree. We'd setup spec'd (4 teams of 5) there. In Illu's recent 18-player game, I setup spec'd (6 teams of 3). This did (4 teams of 4) for real. In any case, here are the main game design notes: I'd been reading back through the Maf thread on SA and a lot of Ecco's most interesting/hated/loved roles involved some sort of sanity component. But, for reasonable reasons, I hadn't seen any "live" games with sanity considerations since playing again. In Illu's spoiled-chat discord for Vaguely Strange Feeling, the vaguely strange concept of "Galaxy Brain Mafia" came up. It was very complicated as-discussed. However, it inspired me to come up with the concept for this game. "Build around a sanity-checker role." I asked Iggy if they wanted to brainstorm with me and we got to chatting. I originally had "say it's sanity-related upfront, maybe fire and ice, have sanity-checkers with some BP to avoid curse-of-interesting-role." Iggy suggested CPR Doc as another sanity-ish-related role. Immediately threw out redirection from the setup. Very quickly landed on four teams with the team names as the four sanities used. After mocking up some roles, I landed on the (relatively) elegant (to me) structure of: - Four teams of four - Each team gets a Normal sanity-checker (later changed to 3 Normal, 1 Naive to ensure the alignment seers had one of each sanity) - Each team gets an alignment-seer (one of each sanity) - Each team gets a different killing role - And then four unique roles to round things out. I then added player 17, because four scum is the typical number for a 17-player game. I expected folks to setup spec a lot and they didn't disappoint, but was surprised at how quickly each team immediately jumped to "4 x 4." Keats was quickest. A few other misc. notes: - Roger Bannister was a callback to Stepford Wives. Illu's role was also a half-callback. I thought some of the fake Stepford roles were actually really interesting, so felt good about including them. - "Watcher or Tracker" was a self-insert. Team Insane self-killing that role off (and not using the action N1!) made my job as a mod much easier. I wanted to include this as part of Keats' flip but it felt leaky - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ru8DMW-grY - Trainee Ninja with the David Carradine hint was a phenomenal moment. That role's Stable Diffusion generated image was probably my favorite. - The melting Rubik's Cube was something I made for a Photoshop thread a few years back - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3942554&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=12 - Empathized with Somber's "It's rude when people come up with better ideas than you." from Hunters in the Garden, as the idea of "Each team has to eliminate exactly one other team" would've probably gone a lot better. - Illu's role was something I was very concerned about after seeing chores in Egyptian Job. But it didn't really become relevant. - The alignment checkers all had single-word role PM differences hinting at their sanities. Also - Sand being replaced was 100% me misreading/misinterpreting a conversation. Big mod error! --------------------- Huge huge thanks to Iggy (for initial brainstorming), Clo (for doing all the great flavor and helping correct many of my errors), and Shell for making a lot of the issues with the setup much more clear with their explanations. As a final note, I hope everyone will always remember that "Three prawns are hardly a galaxy." - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sri91uVMoEg

Oh yeah, it WAS all Zoya's fault! I'd almost forgotten. It was a fun game Cube. Though part of that for me was getting to sit in observer land while the wheels came off, but still fun regardless. Also I'll always be willing to play some Mafia experiments, even if they don't always work out in the end.

This game would have been wild and hilarious had we not figured out the four team setup immediately. It was also crazy that we had half the game info immediately but there was a role that basically had the other half of the info! "We've gotta protect our NK, so let's make the most of what's left unknown to get some false claims and redirect the other team votes and NKs." Illu: "Mafia-like activity? In this game?? Hold my beer." Initially I thought Illu was going to be a Q-like character and sow some chaos through sanity alterations but I can see now had the game played out as expected that it would have been a little too much chaos.
