Mr Cook

Can my "Hollyoaks Mafia" be changed on the list to "Fifa 12 Mafia", cheers;

*Spoiler for definite characters in the game*

HESKEY
GERVINIHO
DROGBA

I might start making it up soon, anyone up for not playing who would be happy reviewing it when I make it, just to ensure no slip-ups, broken roles

I'm more inclined to host now im busy with survivor. I'll try and get my write ups finished by next week unless someone ahead of me on the list wants to go. Or if someone is ready to go I can go after them.

people shouldn't talk about failed kills in write ups. It lets town know if someone was BG'd from a mafia kill, or not, which they don't really need to know.

it also confirms nk immune townies as nk immune and can give a roleblocker if town lots of info remove part of the skill from the role.

It also feels kinda arbitrary but yeah. my 2 cents for today.

edit: it completely removes the chance of scum claiming JOAT with a killing role and stuff too; see the last game where MAGIC's claim might have been solid if failed kills weren't in the write up.

Awesome, there were a few flaws with the Scrubs game (namely mucking up with Kenny's percentage cop), any more tips on improving from that game?

This will have a slightly different set-up anyway, less players for a start, and less roles just made up to fill space

Faraday what's your opinion on limited reveal games, like what DH did in Harry Potter?

I quite enjoy them, actually.

Actually an interesting mechanic might be to just flip alignment on death - you'd need to give the mafia mimimum safe claims as they could get the characters of those they killed (flavourwise: polyjuice potion for harry potter). Problem would be warning of that in advance would result in a day 1 mass name claim.

You can do DH style limited reveal with a clue or just do Harry Potter - Town either, which gives even less info but still some.

Didn't read your last game but

* Always put the town alignment + win condition in the first post
* Don't post failed night kill attempts
* Resolve actions correctly. People that die still have their roles go through, duh.
* Make sure your game can't be broken via massclaim/other shit. This may involve giving town some weird roles that make them look scummy, giving scum safeclaims that are strong, giving scum some roles they can at least safely claim and look town with (e.g. mafia joat with an extra kill), and generally ensuring a reasonably accurate ratio of town:scum
* Don't use a jester if you're thinking about using one <_< They were fun the first and maybe second time, now not so much.
* If you're using an SK at least give him some sort of buff. Be it untraceable kills, bulletproof, investigation immunity, unblockable kills, an additional power (e.g. the ability to recruit a player to help him 1-shot) or something like that. Yes the role should have less chance of winning but it should have some chance if it plays well.
