A-yup.  Scum lucked out and got Grayswandir D1 for a second kill a day.

I've been thinking about a new almost-Bastard-Mod game, in the WWYDT style, but a tad less intensive on setup and a TON harsher on lurkers.

It would be called "Instigate Fun: A Mafia Misadventure" (The AMM subtitle being now my standard name for crazy shit happening). It would be light on the "special" third parties and would play MOSTLY normally, save for the ability to Instigate Fun. A team (town, Mafia, cult if I have one) cannot win unless they use their personal Instigate Fun abilities. However, a player's Instigate Fun makes it harder for them and/or their team to win. Essentially, you can't win until you've inflicted a certain number of setbacks on yourself. Also, since not all Fun Instigation would be announced, town might not know how many of them have Instigated Fun.

Additionally, anyone with more than 36 non-weekend hours between posts would immediately trigger their Instigation of Fun and then be modkilled, because hell with that. <_<

I'd go for it.  Only catch is that a scum team could try to deduce when they're at a winning phase then all execute FUN at the same time.

Would a recruited cultist's FUN change (assuming it was anti-town)?

The Fun might be a oneshot effect or it might be ongoing. That's actually a concern that I'm considering for how to design the Instigate Fun abilities and whether to have a Cult at all.

Also, the Scum Team COULD try to mass-Instigate Fun but that MIGHT do something like taking away some of their votes and/or their Nightkill... or other such Fun.

This is DF-style Fun, for reference.

What would happen if a team would win, except they have Fun that hasn't been executed yet?

If it scares people into posting, then yes.

If they end up lynched because they didn't post, oh well. Too bad for them. Maybe they should've tried posting.

So why wouldn't scum just let Town screw themselves over, kill ALL the townies, then execute their fun when it's the least likely to screw them over? Or is FUN not deterministic, and you'll just screw them over more the more they try to outwit you?

Maybe some Fun is time sensitive?
