omgosh. it's been so long.

Okay, so: there won't be a theme. I'm hoping for more players so that I can use the Gunsmith.

What's the ratio at the moment, Speed?

I'm thinking 4, 6 or 3, 7

Depending on the roles, I would say 7-3 for sure. 6-4 could be over in a matter of two rounds.

Agreed. I was thinking of making Mafia a bit tougher (no Mafioso's), but let the Town somehow have the upper hand.

Mafia Roles:
  • Godfather
  • Public Killer
  • Janitor - 3 hides

    Town Roles:
  • Cop
  • Lawyer
  • Gunsmith
  • Nurse
  • Townies x 3

    Each round, I'm thinking of giving the townies a chance to participate.

    (For example, each night, a townie will be given an item they can use to target a certain player of their choice. But, it can only be used that night. They won't be able to use it the next night. I will PM them. Just an idea I'm throwing out. Also, I haven't made an official decision on the roles.)

    Depending on the "items" you have in mind, plus with the couple killing roles that you plan on using, I would really like more players on the town side but 3 is a good number of mafia. If chiefsonny signs up, I would be pretty okay with 8-3. If even more people somehow sign up, I would suggest adding more town-sided roles but leaving the mafia at 3.

    As for inactivity, I like that you want to be a little more lenient but it's something that we need to crack down on. I still want host killing to be a thing but I'll leave the guidelines up to you before I approve, whether it be something like 2 full rounds or 3 half-rounds (day-night-day or night-day-night). As soon as a player fails to participate during a day round or something, make it abundantly clear in your next thread that they are in danger of being host killed.

    I would like more players too, but if Chief signs up, then we'll be able to even it out. Actually, I'm taking the items out. It'll take too much work and time.

    Alright, sounds fair.

    I plan on starting with Day 1 anyway. We always go with Night 0 and it just makes the game a bit longer.

    Neat; add chiefsonny and EvilGuy to the list of players.

    Oh. Nice. Wait, what is Evil guy's full name? I know he has some numbers at the end

    So, 3, 9 then?

    If that's the case:

    Mafia
  • Mafia Investigator
  • Godfather
  • Distracted Janitor - 3 hides

    Town
  • Lawyer
  • Gunsmith
  • Virgin
  • Cop
  • Townies x 5

    What do you think? Is it balanced well?

  • June 23, 2015
    Castrael

    I'm somewhat conflicted on the Mafia Investigator, that combined with the Janitor seems like a potentially OP duo. However, I think the 3-9 ratio balances it out somewhat well. A Hooker would also go well in that spot but I think the Investigator would be fine.

    Yeah, I'm trying not to make the Mafia overly too powerful. But, since there's only three of them, it's a bit tricky to chose the right one. I like the Distracted Janitor and Godfather. I think Hooker may fit, but hrm. So, the choices I have for a third Mafia member then are:

  • Hooker (your choice)
  • Thug
  • Ballot Forger

  • June 23, 2015
    Castrael

    Yeah, I think the Hooker may be a better fit in that composition than a Janitor.

    So then it'll be Mafia Investigator, Godfather, and Hooker?

    June 24, 2015

    How does Hooker work again?

    June 24, 2015
    Castrael

    Nevermind, with Dooku being added, I think a 10-3 ratio with Godfather/Investigator/Janitor would be okay.

    Sweet. Yes, that worked out nicely.

    Is the town okay? Should I add one more power roll or keep it as it is?

    June 24, 2015
    Castrael

    Definitely keep as is.

    Alright, sounds good. I'll get the game ready for Friday. Tomorrow I'll have plenty of time to get it done. I want to play my game :$

    What's your plan now that Chaos Incarnate signed up?

    June 26, 2015

    Keep it the same, I think.

    June 26, 2015
    Castrael

    I switched Kaot0 to Kaotic, I just need you to reassign all the roles and we should be fine.

    Okay, thanks.
