Hmmm but it will make scum hunting hard as well. It is highly likely that there will be a bus-a-thon going on (either accidental or purposeful) which means town has to assume even less than usual. I love the idea, should be a hell of a game

All it means is less associative tells...and no one reads anyway. ^^

Will those at the top of the scum hierarchy know the powers of those at the bottom?

This sounds like it will be a crazy game. I wish I had time to join
|
Okay this doesn't seem like it will start today/tomorrow so if it starts after that I can join
/in

Playing as town sounds like paranoia 101, while playing as Mafia sounds like paranoia 101. I am paranoid.

I might have to /out depending on when we're starting and stuff. Not sure what my availability will look like in 2 weeks. I'll let you know before we start though.

Semi updated signup list (with those that I know). Will figure out the rest when Incognito is here. I don't think either of us have been active enough lately to follow games. If you are a newer player and want to get in feel free to send a pm stating your experiences so far and why.

They can't communicate downwards names of fellow mafia (the Chairman can't tell each Minion the identity of their "brothers"), but they can state names of townies and stuff right? Is there a limit with that as well? Since if one mentions a lot of townies, they will find out who their buddies are by process of elimination
I may join after I finish all my tests (if this is still in the signup phase), which will be by Thursday.
Also, I wonder what would happen if the CEO's orders contradict that of what the Chairman (for instance) knows? Like the CEO tells him "try to get player X killed", but player X is one of the Chairman's minions or something
Not 100% on this atm but currently the rule is they can't give absolute statements, just orders. i,e no 'players x y z are not mafia, get them killed,' just, 'harass player x.' If they are blatant about trying to give out teammates then they'll be censored. Given enough time executives might figure out ways to smuggle information past the censors but it won't be without risk. There may be other mechanics in place to interfere with such play if it is tried.
There are redundancy factors in place for communication once someone dies but they will be less than normal. In normal games the town wants to prioritize certain mafia to eliminate powers (especially in PYP games) or reduce kp. As eliminating mafia will not reduce kp here, the focus should be geared at disrupting communication by removing the executives.

They will know what exists, not who has what. . @Syllo- Current format is everyone sends in their choice to hosts by days end and CEO picks one from the list. Might tweak this a bit. If CEO dies, the decision power will go to one of the executives (in a certain order). If all 3 executives die, one or two minions may have the power to decide..If all possible decision makers die, it will be made by vote with priority on popularity and then who sent it in first. If anyone has suggestions for this feel free.

You know you want to
When it says "He can send orders to one of them every half cycle.", do you mean that an order can be sent once during day and than once during night, or 2 orders per day/night?
