 Hello, and welcome to my home my beautiful darlings! All are welcome here to stay for a short while or live with me forever. I will feed you and take care of you, and if you're extra good I will give you treats! I do have one rule though, no fighting! If I catch you fighting, you'll need to leave. We all need to get along here. Of course why would you ever fight when I love you all so much. Now who wants some pets?  Welcome to Cat Lady Mafia, a role madness game for 13 players. Some notes about this game: This is an unusual game. There are some normal roles but also a lot of variants on roles and some new roles. I did try to balance it, but it's been tricky so I make no promises. That said, this game is a direct response to Somber's Cloaks game. While it's not necessary for you to read that game or have played in it, I do suggest you read this post since it's what inspired me to make this game. Don't worry though, I'm not a total monster, there will be no death millers. In addition to the regular vote there will also be a secondary vote each day wherein you try to win the favour of the Cat Lady who will give you a treat. To vote someone you make a ##treat vote. If you want to remove your treat vote then ##untreat. The treat vote is plurality and whoever has the most treat votes at the end of the day (or whenever someone is lynched) will get a treat. Treats are good! You want them and you want your team to get them! You may vote for yourself if you are a selfish cat. Mafia Rules

 quote:Lynea surveys the house. Her little darlings are all around her. They're playing with toys, eating from some of the many food dishes, some are grooming each other (adorable!) and a great many are lazing around sleeping. She love cats and all the wonderful things they do. It has always been her dream to have a home where cats could live and not have to worry about anything. Now her dream is a reality! It's not easy though, with so many little fluffybutts there are bound to be some...conflicts. She does her very best to keep that to a minimum though, even if it does unfortunately sometimes mean a cat has to go. Usually a spritzer bottle will do though. Day 1 of Cat Lady Mafia starts now Remember there is an ongoing treat mechanic. You can cast your treat vote using ##treat <player>. If you want to remove your vote without placing it on someone else you can ##untreat. Whoever has the most treat votes at the end of the day gets a treat!

You're so sure that they are going to be such good behaving little boys and girls that you're going to give out another treat. Perhaps a wooden treat this time! Yes, I think they will like that very much! Speaking of treats, where is the one that you gave a treat to yesterday? You can't seem to find him anywhere. Oh well, I'm sure he's just hiding under a bed or something. It's not like he could have gotten out on his own!  King Burgundy, Simon, Town-aligned Mod Annoyer was kicked out N1. It is now D2.

 Sorry folks, feeling kinda sick and I gotta get up early in the morning so lack of flavour. Let's just say that Lynea loves all her fluffy fluffy kitties and you're all wonderful. Well one of you isn't. one of you was kicked out in the middle of the night.  Flying Leatherman, Mittens, Town-aligned Lie Detector was kicked out N2. It is now D3. Today's treat is a moldy treat!

If people would like an extension because of depression, I would be fine with that. I will take any votes for or against extension for 52 minutes (until 7PM) then it's final.

So after an hour I got no votes, and so I'm going to use my vote to decide and because I don't really feel like writing up flavour and flip and dealing with that poo poo tonight, 1 day extension. Don't waste it, garbage cats.

What the gently caress is wrong with you, Asiina?! So this is my answer to Somber's game, Cloaks, which was a role madness game that couldn't be traditionally solved by night actions. There were 3 scum: Rolecopping Roleblocker - Rolecopped whoever he blocked Thief - Could steal treats Smokescreen - Made whoever they targeted have watchers who watched them see nothing and trackers who tracked someone to them see no movement The scum also had a different mechanic. Instead of performing their own actions, they could act together on the nightkill. One scum doing the NK was a regular NK. Two scum it was a ninja NK. Three scum it was an unblockable ninja NK. If a scum died their spirit would be still helping with the NK so after one scum was dead all NKs will be ninja and after two scum were dead they'd all be ninja and unblockable. The point of this was so the scum kill would get stronger the longer the game continued and the more scum were dead. There was 1 3P: Somber was a treat giver and could set the treats for the day (he had a list but didn't know what each one did specifically) and also give treats at night. He won when half of all players (living or dead) had been given a treat. There were 9 town: 2 mason trackers who would have been given each other's results. I'm sad this didn't happen 1 Peeping JOAT - Exactly what Jimmy claimed, had a 1-shot of watcher, tracker, follower, and Voyeur. 1 White Mage - protects someone for two nights 1 self-watching bodyguard 1 Lie Detector (couldn't use on alignment statements) 1 Lynchbomb 1 Mod Annoyer. This role would get to ask about town, scum, or general and I would have given them information about the setup. Eventually culminating in telling them the entire mechanics. A very powerful role, but would take a lot of nights to get all the information. --- So did it work? Did all your dreams come true? Kinda. I liked some things and not others. I did find it funny that in a game that said in no uncertain terms that following night actions would be bad, that people relied on night actions. Scum were quite strong, but I also liked that in a game with a lot of movement and 4 people with some sort of movement tracking role, that having 3 people not being seen could be a bit of a downside if scum wanted to 3-man into the kill every night. I do still really like the smokescreen role. I feel like there aren't a lot of negative utility roles for scum, and since cops are rarer these days, it's nice to give them something to combat the mass watcher/trackers other than a roleblock. Somber's role was probably too easy but not being able to control the treat vote during the day meant that if people decided to stack treats on someone, there's not a lot he could do about it and I wanted the 3P to have some say in whether they won or not. I'm sad that the tracker mason pair and the mod annoyer never really got to do their thing, I think that would have made a difference, but honestly town really phoned it in a lot so I don't think it was terribly unbalanced in the end. BTW the game technically should have gone into N3 because Somber still had to give another treat, but the scumteam had said they were going to juggernaut kill BK earlier in the day and Somber was obviously going to give to someone new, so I didn't want to wait around for that and called it slightly early. Especially when BK and Opop were mostly absent and probably shouldn't have signed up even though I gave full warning for them to not join if they were going to lurk.

I do think the scum might have been a little too strong. I think if I did something like that again I'd just do the second part where once a scum died they empowered the NK. I wanted the idea that relying on night actions, especially in later days when role madness games become more about being logic puzzles, would just simply not work. I think it's a mechanic I'll keep in my pocket and maybe try again in another game a long time from now.
