[Slaol]

... go on

[deathworlds]

Don't worry I will finish.

I accidently posted this while making it.

[CarolinaCrown]

looks cool so far. "Feminist" is real sexist though. Maybe change it to "Pundit"?

[Brendan]

I second this.

[AppleyNO]

Feminist is sexist? I thought feminist was the term given to people that promote women equality.

[Nick]

Feminist is sexist? I thought feminist was the term given to people that promote women equality.

Equality for women but not for men, which is sexist. Prefer egalitarianism.

However, I believe that the original sexist comment is about equating feminism to ranting females. Still, I believe that the host's comparison is somewhat true.

[Cryptonic]

And then the night action is to "rant" lol

[CarolinaCrown]

Maybe here isn't the place to discuss it, but I think Feminism is an extremely important movement, and I think it's not just rude but harmful to label feminists as "angry women who talk too much." I know it's just a joke but how we talk about things really does affect how we think about them.

that's just my 2¢, it's death's game and ultimately it's his choice whether to keep the name

[deathworlds]

The name has been changed to something less offensive.

[CarolinaCrown]

haha I like it. much appreciated. this looks like a really fun game and I'm excited to try it when it's finished/approved

[deathworlds]

Thanks!

[deathworlds]

Lol, apparently I don't know my lefts from rights.

Changed to compensate.

[AppleyNO]

And then the night action is to "rant" lol

Did not see night action lolzzzzzz Yea I now understand.

[AppleyNO]

How does the town know which president is the rightful one? Is the the historical Reagan?

[deathworlds]

How does the town know which president is the rightful one? Is the the historical Reagan?

Town does not know, It could be either Jimmy Carter, or Ronald Reagan.

[AppleyNO]

Town does not know, It could be either Jimmy Carter, or Ronald Reagan.

So the President mechanic is a clock mechanic, then? The town needs to lynch the Illuminati and Neutrals before Day 6 I assume.

[deathworlds]

Not nessesarily, they could lynch the Illuminati and still accidently elect the wrong president. But they could have the Illuminati live, and elect the rightful president.

It goes to show how some things are greater than life and death.

[Brendan]

They were both fucking terrible Presidents tho. Can you give us at least ok presidents to chose from?

[AppleyNO]

Not nessesarily, they could lynch the Illuminati and still accidently elect the wrong president.

What? The town has to elect the right President without knowing which one that is to win?

[deathworlds]

The town does have the upper hand in some ways. Majority vote, investigative roles, the conspiricy theorist...

ok so this setup is retarded is what you're saying?

[deathworlds]

ok so this setup is retarded is what you're saying?

This setup is experimental, like every other S-FM I designed.

[AppleyNO]

This setup is experimental, like every other S-FM I designed.

But the town has no idea how to win :P

[deathworlds]

But the town has no idea how to win :P

The town has multiple ways to figure out who is the rightful president.

A.) The conspiricy Theorist
B.) Tracking who scum voted
C.) The 3rd day vote count

I'm pretty sure the town can figure out who to vote for, they just have to be smart about it.

Besides, it's not my fault politics suck so much.

[Orpz]

Are roleblocks notified?

Can the Illuminati perform a night kill?

Do they know each other or share a night chat?

Please include Paranoid Voter in the role cards.

Won't the eligible candidates tip off what Neutral Evil is in the game?

The Cult Leader has no protection and upon death, all of his followers suicide. Is this intended?

Yes

Yes they can

Done.

Yes.

I may add an auto vest to John B. Anderson

[Orpz]

Is it intended that none of the factions need to be alive to win? Normally, loopholes would be present without this clause but given the special mechanics, it might be possible that it is already implied they need to be alive to win.

Does Conspiracy Theorist win if Paranoid Voter solves the code?

Additionally, please include an Order of Operations and Mechanics section as per Cryptonic's Host's Guide

5) Order of Operations
For every night action in the game, the host must place it appropriately on the Order of Operations. Order of Operations is the easiest place to forget about specific roles. Remember that the Order of Operations should reflect your intentions about the mechanics of your game. For example, if you place Healing after Killing, a Doctor is unable to heal the same night they are killed, and anything placed before a roleblock can't be prevented by a roleblocker.

6) Mechanics
This is where you put how you intend your game to run. A host needs to include things like day length, night length, how lynching will work, who shares a night chat, and anything else you deem relevant.

None of the factions other than the Citizens of America or the Conspiracy Theorist need to be alive to win.

The Conspiracy theorist would need to crack the code himself.

That shall be done when I have time to host.

[Orpz]

I feel like Messenger of God is too powerful. After 3 nights, there will be 3 (Convinced) + 3 (Himself) + 6 (Smited) = 12 votes for God. Essentially he's getting slightly less than 5 votes per night if played properly. Consider tweaking some of the numbers, but other than that, this game is approved for signups five days from now, unless RLVG's game ends early.

I was thinking 2.5 rounded down instead of 3.

[Orpz]

I suppose if Town can rally their election votes properly, he can be stopped. You have to consider that his convince ability also takes away 1 vote from the Town or Mafia.

I would be happy with either 2 or 2.5 rounded down. Let me know if you make any further changes.

I replaced the non-political role with the "Fixer"

[Orpz]

Are you ready to host this setup? If so, then you may post the signups thread. Otherwise, I'll allow Ika to host a pre-approved S-FM first.

Not ready yet.

[MattZed]

Terrorist seems a little OP since he's a solo survivor.

Can Russian Spy perform both of their actions at night?If no, I'm not sure how they can possibly get enough votes.

Terrorist lacks vest, outing himself means certain death.

Also all of the Political Radicals can perform both their convicing action, and one of their non-convincing actions.

[deathworlds]

Completed and ready for review.

Equality*

[Orpz]

Actually, I have no more outstanding balance questions. The balance will be up to the host and the roles list now.


Approved


M-FM is starting soon so don't be too alarmed by slow signups.

K so I can post signups whenever?

Waiting on you mattzed bb.

[Frog]

I think it needs to be out in the queue first? Then once it's up sign ups are open?

... Or you could just start your own sign ups thread anyway!! :-D

[MattZed]

Orpz and I have talked this out. Your setups might start first, but we'll still overlap our games, possibly even starting at the same time depending on how long signs take with the M-FM.

Woooops- don't listen to me. I'm slow.

Did I dream I already signed up for the M-FM?

[Kirize]

Redacted because in wrong place.

[MattZed]

Will the hints for the Illuminati code be substantial enough that the conspiracy theorist can crack the code without luck, provided he does not die?

Can the conspiracy theorist win with the fixer?

How about the terrorist?

What's the point of Day 6 if the election is decided after night 5?

Are players informed of their vote being blocked?

What's the point of conspiracy theorist being able to submit the night they die if they still lose for not surviving to the end?
