I suspected all the scum D1, you guys are dicks for killing byers, I think you had this game lost anyways but there were cool roles that didn't get used properly.

Neat setup, Met.

It was going to be one of us, given our cases on D1, so I'm not mad about the kill. What I am mad about is wall trying to use my role/flavor as his own.

When I saw wall claim my role, I asked Met to send him the following message:

Go suck a gently caress, scum. Will was mine.

Thanks for running, Met, I had fun!

The Great Twist
I was particularly excited for the Mannequin. It didn't end up working as game balancer as I intended but it was fun to try. I expected a Townie would be lynched first and the Mentor would be forced to decide Town was the best option for the Mannequin. Instead a Mafia was lynched so I expected the Mentor to absolutely choose the Mannequin to be Mafia to keep things balanced but he decided against it. I could have just had the Mannequin take on the alignment of the first lynched player but that really went against the initial premise of having other players decide the ability/role for them based on their situation.

I originally had a normal cop in here as well as a flavor cop. Ended up dropping the Cop for the Investigator which is gunsmith variant. I think the Flavor Cop ended up working very well because flavor was ambiguous enough in a lot of cases that it wasn't just a perfect role cop. Kleedrac's flavor was absolutely perfect for the Flavor Cop to check.

I had been holding onto this setup for awhile. Bit of a bummer it was so short. Maybe if I do another Role Madness, I'll really beef up the Mafia with some things that seem broken at first glance. I don't think Mafia have a good track record in my Role Madness games.

I hope you do another one! Presigning now.

I enjoyed writing my ridiculous flavor, which actually had a lot to do with my role but in stupid ways that would only make sense to me. Kleedrac couldn't think of any flavor so Met had to send him mine for *inspiration*

It would have to be a completely new setup and probably without the theme mechanic. If people knew what to look for and play around it would be too easy to game the system.

I'm going to hold off on Role Madness 4 for at least a month. Probably more. I imagine people would get bored of my Role Madness games if I had too many of them in a short period. I have other game ideas I'd like to try in the meantime.

I would love to play another role madness if you ever run another one.


Lie detector was a weird role this game. I had no idea to what extent my powers ran and day 1 had like zero good posts to detect so I only really got a single use on day 2 (to confirm kleedracs story).

Would be fun to try it again!

It's a video gameified version of mafia. Every player has a power role and days/nights are super short. The biggest thing about it that's a bit of a bummer is that it's night start, so usually at least one player doesn't even get to really play the game.

It's just cosmetic stuff like new character skins. I think they're planning on selling thingies that make you more likely to roll a certain role though, no idea how that will work.

Yeah, but because games are so short and easy to get into, it's no effort to jump into the next one. The biggest problem with the game is the community is toxic.

Managed to get it for real cheap because I threw a couple bucks at their kickstarter.

Yeah for real. There's a report function, but the number of slurs the pubbies throw around is loving gross. There's a ranked mode you can play in once you play like fifty games which is a lot better, both as far as the quality of play as well as people not being toxic shitheads. Outside of Ranked, people will whinge about "proof" and "random lynching" even if you're pushing someone because you have a result or because they said something that's a scumtell, but it's generally pretty fun, especially if you have a couple of friends in a party with you.

GG claimed that he had been roleblocked at the start of D2. I was hoping that he'd have my striptease flavor, but Met didn't add that until N2 onward.

Flavor was difficult. I like it when people claim they did someone else's action and absolute flavor in the abilities made that difficult.

I wanted to stick flavor to outgoing messages and keep incoming messages mostly flavor free.
