Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
^ I like everything except the guard & seer combo. Maybe get rid of the Guardian and replace with a different blue?

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
too many blues, If they all claim night 1 through a mason, you have a three person (and growing) underground alliance

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
So you suggest I remove that 3rd blue entirely? If not, what would you place there?

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
Despite the fact that this is a possible C9++ setup, you can't start the game in the same fashion because C9++ adds in uncertainty during the first few day phases (no way to confirm what roles are out there).
Since we're starting with confirmed roles here, we have to watch what the alliance will do. With 4 blues, a mason will come out, the other blues will claim to him, and a 4 person alliance will be started on night 1. the wolves will kill the confirmed human, but that leaves 3 underground blues working with each other. Lets assume close to worst case scenario: day 1 will see 3 blues/5 greens/3 wolves. A green is lynched Night 2 will see 3 blues/4 green/3 wolves. Vigi kills a green, wolves kill a green, Seer seers a green start of day 2 3 blues/2 green/3 wolves A green or a wolf will be lynched here, lets assume a green Start night 3 3 blues/1 green (seered) / 3 wolves. A wolf is vigi'd and a blue is killed (lets say vigi) Start day 3 2 blues 1 green 2 wolves Remaining wolf would be seered/ or outcast because all other living people had been seered. start night 4 2 blues 1 green one wolf lets assume the seer is hit. You're looking at a 1v1 with a mason as the decider, and thats with the wolves playing damn well.

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
The idea is to have an "easier" game for new players, allowing for cardflips (forgot to mention that I think), and doesn't psychic=Seer?
Edit: I'm trying to remember how my first TWG game went, and having a similar game played, as that one was plain and simple. It was TWG Back in Black, I haven't gone to actually look at it yet, but use that as reference for what i'm trying to get here.

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
Seer =/= psychic. Psychic gets role reveal when person dies. Seer gets role on targeted player after each night phase

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
Yeah, at least this way if you add the psychic, you can remove cardflips and give the wolf roleblocker another role to block other then seer. This way the humans could find out if their lynch was successful, while also giving the wolves a chance to block that. I like mechanics that give options to both teams.

"open" setups are a bit simpler than the other types. (C9++ falls under semi-open.) open semi-open here's a nice list of setups approved by Mafiascum. of those, here are a couple which I think are close to our "normal" games. Faith Plus One seems like a clever solution to the traditionally broken seer/guardian mechanic. http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Near-Vanilla http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?...Faith_Plus_One |

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
I feel like a crack addict that hasn't had his fix in a week. Guys please, either post a better game than mine or let me start this one

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
the setup slightly favors the wolves now I think, haha. can someone else weigh in on that?
this is the slowest host signup thread we've had in quite a while. do we need a bit of a hiatus, or are we ready to roll again? YMIA but if we're low on enthusiasm at the moment, we could schedule a week or two of break-time to plan out future games and figure out how to draw more players. |

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
Back to basics
Players: 12 Greens: 9 Reds: 3 Card flip: off Blues: Psychic (gets death role at end of each phase), guardian (guards one player for one night phase) Power roles for red: no Outside comm: yes Night talk: yes Day/night time: 24 hour night, 48 hour day Win condition: green needs to elim all reds; reds need to bring the ratio of green:red to 1:1 Theme: none. I'll work on my dangan ronpa theme later, but first back to basics time it seems.

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
Why take a equally playable mechanic from both sides for cardflips? Automation is lameee

Re: TWG XCIX Host Signups
why have a psychic over cardflips? those games seem much more discouraging where at least in cardflips everyone seems to step up their analysis, when I've never seen a useful psychic in any game I've played
