6-3 is good because it requires scum by default to get 3 mislynches. Any more is really really harsh - having to mislynch half of the townie pool is hard as it is.

Yeah, and mislynches and stuff.

Hapa knows what he's talking about.

So anyway, Haps, you wanna host this with me? We can talk more about the setup and tweak it some, but I am in love with it.

Yeah count me in. I do want more feedback before we finalize the setup though.

Oh, of course.

By no means do I consider this finalized.

But yeah, I just want to commit to hosting this, because I feel like TL needs games like this.

That sounds interesting, but again, majority lynch would probably be better.

You could try 7-3 for an in-between.

You'd have to enforce voting pretty strictly in this setup because No-lynches can't really be allowed with no NK.

"Vengeful" is optional or mandatory? I feel like optional might be pretty cool in this setup.

PS: a cool 3rd party win-con might be: Get revenge-shot but not lynched. Would take some skill to either: arrange the lynch of somebody who thinks you are scummy, OR get the current lynch candidate convinced that you are the best venge shot. Although I suppose simply by leading town to a scum lynch you would achieve this which might make it too easy.

Feel free to ignore all my ideas, I'm pretty sure they are terrible. I'm just having fun here.

I strongly support 6-3, perhaps even 5-3.

7-3 would require scum to mislynch 4 out of the 7 townies to win the game. That's absurdly difficult.

It would be optional - allows for more creative plays.

I'll have to think about a 3rd party. Normally I don't like them, but it might be a good way to balance the game.

Well, 5-3 might end up with mislynch -> venge shot on townie -> gg nice 1-day game

I mean, yes thats highly unlikely, but 5-3 sounds pretty unjust.

Yeah, well the point is that 3 mislynches is the sweet spot IMO.

I'll say that this game mode seems uniquely punishing of bad town, given how a single really bad town player can use up 2 "mislynches" AND doesn't give town any info because town doesn't know if he flips scum or what (especially since they may know that he shot a townie, which would point to him being scum).

Not that that is a bad thing.

After more thought, I can't think of how you would fit in a 3rd party with any kind of reasonable win con given the no night kill setup, but maybe somebody else can think of a good one

I like flips too, but with the vengeful mechanic, it's not like town is completely in the dark. Plus, I think it allows for some really creative plays.

I think 6-3 with non-optional vengeful shots is the most balanced.

5-3, as pointed at, could be a one cycle game.

6-3 with vengeful shots will always keep mafia at the same mislynch deficit if they die.

3rd Party with a X-shot day roleblock (via PM) that stops Vengeful kills. Lots of tears will follow.

Has there ever been a game where you are not allowed to unvote?
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

Not as far as I'm aware of.

IIRC docH tried to do that for his the game game at first, but then realized it was a shitty rule and scrapped it.

PS: its a shitty rule kkthxbai

Well, Death Factory Mafia can be seen as a no unvote game, but it is a very VERY different setup.

Also the MTG themed games.

In MTG you could still change targets after "voting" with your creatures, you just couldn't just unvote only.

kinda in-between imo.

Schrödinger's Mafia

Two mafia teams which are unaware of each other's existence. Both have 1 KP, each night one team's hit goes through and the other one doesn't, random every night.

Add in a bus driver or two so it takes longer for people to figure this out
