IMO in-character games are a bad thing - they distract too much from the scumhunting and into roleplaying. Even in the currently popular flavor-rich games (WC and OM) most lynches are decided by flavor, and going even farther is pointless.

The one we did recently (Supernatural RP) suffered from poor attendance.  I think the general B12 style of scum hunting doesn't translate well into RP games.

If another one ran, I'd suggest making it flavor heavy (a la WC and OM) and making everyone's name (or alias) and (alleged) profession public information, thus giving the flavor claims a head start.



Any sort of post restriction seems to be fairly unpopular here.  I had tossed around an idea of a "post powered*" game, but it saw little support.

I like the idea of a "post powered" game. It sounds interesting.

Hmm... if there's interest, I can run it after BYOP.  We can take it to the gametype thread, as well.

"door mafia"
Whuh?

whups, i had this in my mind for a while but forgot...


number of players: 8*
number of mafiosi: 4*
number of doors: 9*

*should be balanced better :P


every day, folks can vote to:
 a. send xxx to check door yy
 b. lynch xxx
 c. do nothing

if a, xxx is goes into door yy at night. he will either be killed, or he will gain an item.
mafia can chat freely, and they know which door contains the kill item.

if xxx dies, they die, and everyone knows.
if xxx gets an item, everyone is told, but the item is unknown.

basically it.

just a note, i probably don't have time to do the votecount update things and such, so a co-mod would be nice if there are enough players interested.

Well done, guys!

I just had an interesting idea.
3-role Mafia.

Basically, the 'mafia' would start as one person with three roles. If he gets lynched, one of the roles is removed and the original mafia is kicked from the game. Another player(chosen at random) has his role replaced with those two roles.
