How about a "Pick Your Game" game?

I mean, traditionally, the "host" is an entity of the mafia game that creates the game, creates roles, and "hosts".
By "hosts" I mean he takes all actions, resolves them, posts day posts, makes flips, makes votecounts, etc.

So, with PTP games we are abstracting more that standard model. Now hosts aren't the ones creating roles, but players are.
So why can't we abstract it a little bit more and make players create games?

I mean, the part that actually differs hosts from players is the "hosting" (making posts, counting votes, etc), not anything else.

How a "Pick Your Game" game would work? I have no idea. But I'm sure Grey+iGrok can come up with something that's awesome!

I was thinking more like concurrent games being played at the same time, but with alignments still "fixed" when the actual game starts.

That works as well. You don't need to make that guy have his alignment struck out though.

With your idea, I think it would be something like Themed Game Mafia. Every day is a different "day". You either elect someone to choose the next day's "game", or he's chosen in a different way.

Then the guy can choose what type of game to do, that game will span 1 cycle (day+night).
He can choose a Pick Your Poison or similar game (he gets to choose the poisons for instance). He could pick an Election type of game, where he chooses the powers the elected players will have.
He may choose a Death Factory or similar game.

Basically he can PM the host the new mechanics the game will have that day+night, the host checks it out and the host "hosts" it while the player continues playing that same game

Another option is have EVERYBODY create a game before game starts and alignments are set out (just like now in PTP people create roles before game starts). Then the host randomizes those "games", puts them in a specific order, and the actual game goes from one of those games to the next.

For example, there are 3 players. One creates a Pick Your Poison-style game, another an Election-style game, and another a Double-Lynch-With-Vote-Shenanigans one.
The host randomizes that shit, and gets that first the Election game will go through, then the PYP game, then the Vote one.
So D1+N1 is the Election one, D2+N2 is PYP, and D3+N3 is the Vote one.

In this case it'd be hard to get EVERYBODY's game to be played. If you have 16 players, you would need 16 cycles to put that shit together....you would most likely just experience 4-6 games, and all other players will never be able to see their game in action

Maybe you can make 1 game span a phase and not cycle (D1 is a game, N1 is a different game, etc), so you have double the games (so everybody's game can be played).

dont be all upset cause the role I wrote for u got nerfed. I could post the original I wrote for you. It was jester veteran lookout but the lookout gives u numbers with alignment instead of names, cuz that would just be OP. and then u can use your second ability to remove the jester ability from people based on the number u received.

i.e.
When activatd
1 visted u, they are MAFIA
2 visted u, they are town

so basically u could confirm players that visitedd u BUT u dont know who visited u and then become jesters. I guess it got nerfed though since apparently u say it blos. I thot it was pretty balanced
