How about this:
n0 start
3v1
One dude is DT

Expect WIFOM, fake-/claims, and WIFOM. With some more WIFOM on top.

JK is really lame with those numbers, because, no matter what, withholding the shot is best play for scum anyways.
I actually don't mind that idea, but then again, I also like RNG and coinflips, so there's that.

This sounds more interesting. How about 50% chance the mafia is godfather ^^

There's also the chance of mafia straight killing the DT already. Which already is the same p% the DT has of hitting mafia. Not sure 'bout that.

I thought about making scum a roleblocker, but that would give him a 66% chance of hitting the DT even if he goes random-yolo with his stuff. That number is a bit high for my tastes, and I'd think the setup is already a bit scum-favored. But who knows, I might be wrong.

The more I think about it, the more I like that setup, actually. (the one I proposed, that is)

Putting more fanciness in it only destroyes its simple beauty.

The problem with it is that it basically forces mafia to fake-claim cop and gamble, if he doesn't kill the DT.

And assuming he doesn't kill the DT's target.

He wouldn't know if that was the case until the DT claimed. Which means that theoretically it would be optimal play for the mafia to wait for the DT to claim, but if the mafia waits and the DT has a redcheck on him, then it's looking pretty shit for the mafia.

Assuming random night actions,

Scum has a 1/3 chance of hitting the DT, which then leaves him favoured to win assuming he hides properly.
Scum has a 2/9 chance of hitting the DT's target, which leaves the DT with a useless claim and scum can either counter claim and fight that, or if he hides properly the lynch is 50/50 him or a VT
Scum has a 4/9 chance of hitting an unchecked VT, leaving the DT with a conclusive check (either on scum or on town), either way forcing a false claim from scum because the DT has a solved game. It boils down to convincing the last VT.

Proper play from both sides hopefully increases their chances of hitting with roles, but i'm not sure how much given how little scum has to do in this game.

Maybe a no-flip on the NK to make more DT claim wifom?

I don't really see the point in this game. It's not mafia, because you can't have any of the association tells: it's 3 townies vs. an SK. Secondly, the DT just adds a pointless game of roulette to it. Either the DT gets a check of that works, and it becomes claim vs. claim (which imho is always a stupid scenario), or the NK roulette works for the scum and the DT was useless.

It's my two favorite parts of mafia mixed together; lylo and day 1.

Idk, it was just an idea. If people think it's unfair or whatever, that's fine. I just wanted to conceptualize a short one-cycle game.

/shrug

I happen to like roulette.

If you look at it properly, everything about mafia is just roulette. So I don't see any substantial difference in mentality.
Not sure why it's not supposed to be mafia.

Towards the beginning of the year, I was thinking of hosting a no night-kill setup. Unfortunately this is a lot more imbalanced than I thought, considering that the mafia need one extra mislynch every single time one of their teammates dies and can't maintain the balance with factional KP.

I still want to try the setup though, and my solution so far has been two possible "twists" on the Vengeful Mafia IRC setup. Just call the whole thing "Vengeful" mafia for now.

Setup A:
  • 6 Town and 3 Mafia (Undecided on blue-roles)
  • Instant-majority lynch. No night-cycle, no night kills.
  • Mafia get a factional day-vigi KP every single time a Mafia member dies.


Setup B:
  • 6 Town and 3 Mafia (might be a 7 town 2 mafia setup, not sure how balanced the mechanic below is)
  • Instant-majority lynch. No night-cycle, no night kills.
  • ANY player that dies gets lynched has the option to vigi another player.


Setup A seems more balanced. Setup B looks a lot more insane (fun?) and aesthetically pleasing from a design perspective.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Lemme get this straight, you want to create a vigi-chain at the end of d1 where everyone that dies can kill a dude who then in turn can kill a dude and then in the end it's a crapshoot as to who is the last player to die.

Sounds legit.

Oh whoops phrased that wrong.

Any player that gets lynched gets a vigi-shot.

Though the vigi-chain sounds fucking hillarious.

If I'm playing that game I'll try to get mislynched on D1 every single time and shoot someone when I die

No night kill with instant majority is insanely hard for scum.

B sounds interesting, but mafia have absolutely no choice who the guy getting lynched shoots. And thats the only form of directed kp other than lynches.

B with plurality deadline lynch would be more balanced and fun I think.
No gg, No skill.
