Alright, whatcha got Feral?

Oh, btw, I have work this weekend so I'll respond once I get off. Or, I'll try to during my break(s). Either way, I'll let you know.

Alrighty, hope this doesn't come off as too lame, but I think most of GT is Pokemon fans, or at least knows somthing about it.

With such a variety of Pokemon with a variety of concepts, there is a lot of potential for roles. They just need to be evened out and anything over or under powered swapped out or removed.

The plot idea comes from a fanfic I am reading, "Firefly: Queen of the New Breed" by Xtreme Gamer & Scarlet Pikachu. Basically, the legendaries vs Team Rocket. I'l going to brainstorm the exact roles now, and get back to you.

Looks like the Mafia Announcements and New Game Announcements areas are redacted. There is no longer anywhere on the site for such announcements to appear.

I'm thinking I might need access to post tools and the Site Announcements area... might to to speak to Xhin.

The game/site announcements don't work but that can easily be handled by myself or any other active mod.

Alright, Feral. :) Since we're short on players, try and keep it balanced. I don't recommend the Yellow roles. Or, whatever they're called. Unless you know that then I apologize. <.<

They are just neutruel roles, and I wasn't planning on any.

Oh, goods. :)

Lemme know whenever you've got a basic idea of the powers you want to use so I can see if they need any balancing.

Alright, guys, here is what I have in mind-

Town- (League)

Pikachu- Gov abilities, cop power x2

Celebi- Doctor(dies after 3 uses)

Mew- Can use any power(Cop/Doc/Vig) one time each

Mewtwo- (Vigilante) 2 Night Kills with 50% chance reveal for sucsesful kill

Mafia- (Team Rocket)

Persian(Giovani's)- Godfather

Darkrai- Alters townie power results- Cop get's wrong verdict, Doc fails to save, Vig fails to kill, Mew fails all three)

Giratina- Silencer(In this case, induces nightmare)

Meowth- Thug (Can take night kill for other Mafia member)

With only 11 players, I did have to limit them a bit. Even with this, there are only two vanilla townies and no vanilla Mafias.

(Innitially posted this in the wrong thread, but it wouldn't hurt to see what the players think, so it's in both this thread and the sign-up thread.

It looks like you'll be left with 3 vanilla roles. There maybe too many power rolls but I'll see what Speed thinks.

At this point, I fear it's going to be lackluster either way. I was hoping that after a month break, the forum would have a good turn-out, but we are still way down.

I definitely understand. I've lost interest in Mafia a long while ago. It's also Memory Day weekend too so everyone's partying, etc.

May 24, 2015
Castrael

Given the low turn-out, I feel that it may be best to cut down on the power roles.

Plus, the town has two roles that have the potential to kill. They can be prevented but that still may accelerate a game that will already be rather short.

Another note, we have 11 players but you listed 8 power roles and then said that there would only be 2 vanilla roles. Cas is correct when she says that there would be 3 (2 townies, 1 mafioso).

Also, if you're going to give the mafia so many members, a role like the silencer can be super detrimental since that essentially neutralizes one townie each round.

I would recommend either cutting down on the killing/silencing roles or balancing the ratio more towards the town. Or both.

I did miscount, but there should only be 4 Mafias and 7 Townies. I'm axing the Mew and Giratina roles.

As I said, it's a shame that such a low turn out had to cripple the theme, but it is what it is.

BAsically,

Town-
Gov/Cop(Can not mention names or roles in the gov messages, to keep it from being OPed.)
Doc
Vig
Townie x4

Mafia

GF
Alterer
Thug- (Slightly extended- can also step in on a lynch... ANY lynch. Basically, can take the place of ANY person who dies.)
Mafioso x1

Have to put off the start for a day. I have IRL stuff all day.

I think an 8-3 ratio would be better given the numbers that we have. 7-4 means the game could be over by Night 2 and it wouldn't necessarily need any unlikely things to occur in order for that to happen.

May 26, 2015
Speed Bike Pro
 

Yeah, I agree with Speed.

I think the Town should have at least 3 power roles and Mafia should have at least 2 power roles (one for killing, one for protecting?) As for the town, (Spy, Protect, Kill, townies). At least, this is how I would do it.

I apologize for not checking in sooner. >.<

I can do that, but I have to kill the Pokemon theme. It just wouldn't work with this set-up.

I'm not touching spy/sensor/watcher stuff. I really don't want to get into "who went where with what" logic.

I'm also not willing to drop my alterer role. That is the only original aspect I have left. If this means I can't give the Mafia a secondary killing role, oh well...

Actually, I have an idea. I'm gonna make the Vig a Mafia sided role and double it with the GF, much like I did the Gov/Cop. I'm gonna drop the Thug role, leaving the alterer and GF/Vig.

I can also bring back Mew, although the role will change to a Watcher, seeing who eneters or leaves a house. Yeah, this actually works well, and I can even go ahead with the Pokemon thing.

Feral, make sure to add Game: 36 to your threads as well.

Man, this hosting gig sucks when nobody is actually doing anything.

God, I hope the day doesn't end like this, because I have no idea how to handle a tie between a player and "No Kill". I know with two players it is a draw, but I don't know if one of these has presidence over the other...

May 28, 2015

Usually, I would just do a No kill, but how many hours are there left of the round? I'd also give them a warning.

Yeah, it's kinda a bummer when no one contributes.

May 28, 2015

There are about 15 minutes until the day ends. I posted in the main thread at the one hour mark, but no one has been there since.

This is NOT what I was expecting, but it's going to be damned good!

Roxas is investigating Lancer, the Godfather. Normally, he would get a town-sided result, but Lancer's ally, Speed, the Alterer, targeted Roxas, altering his results, making the Godfather incorrectly be revealed as... MAFIA! Never before has the Godfather role been circumvanted like this!

Ironically, Hezekiah, the Doc, ALSO targeted Lancer. Won't have any effect, but it's still funny.

Damn, it gets even better! Just did the coin flip(two coins h/h, h/t, t/t) to determine what Mafia roll Lancer will come up as, and it wound up beaing Persian!

Pikachu will incorrectly identify Persian as... Persian! Talk about a paradox!

Anyway, since Flare is dead, I don't have to wait for her, so I can start the next day.

Well, if all actions are in or if there aren't any night actions needed, then go for it.

I wish there was more action to be honest. The town just needs to work as a team. >.<

May 29, 2015

I'm leaving you in charge for at least today, Cas. Some issues have come up, and I need time to cool down.
