Did you say Lunatic?

It seems someone likes screwing with players even more than I do.

Can Scum be lunatics?

Can Scum be lunatics?

Breh I've been doing this before you even started making setups.

And yes, everyone. Excluding the Asylum Staff can be Lunatics.

[MattZed]

Are there nightchats?

[deathworlds]

Are there nightchats?

The Inmates are not allowed to talk to each other during the night.

No.

[deathworlds]

I need suggestions for non-killing scum roles.

Orpz review plz

Edit: love me

[Orpz]

I'll go into more in-depth review closer to the signups date. I didn't forget :love:

Can Sinisters be Lunatics?

Do Cult cooldowns occur on failed conversion?

Is the Mason Leader's night ability combined or does he have to choose between conversion and purging?

Please expand further on fake feedback for Lunatics.

Investigator is too powerful in my opinion. If he catches a scum and RNG is on his favor, the scum has zero wiggle room other than try to discredit the claimer. I also would suggest finding a way to rework the role so that there is no need for RNG.

My first impression is that this is a Town steamroll. Because of the scum roles' independence, it's practically guaranteed that they will waste valuable nights targeting each other. Coupled with two confirmable Town roles, scums have no chance for day chat leadership to counteract the lack of night cycle control.

Yup

Do Cult cooldowns occur on failed conversion?

Nope

Is the Mason Leader's night ability combined or does he have to choose between conversion and purging?

You must choose, without choice it will default to converting

Please expand further on fake feedback for Lunatics.

Example: A mason leader who is a lunatic and receives the sheriff rolecard, instead of receiving convertion feedback/names of masons he will receive sheriff feedback, but the feedback may or may not be correct.

Investigator is too powerful in my opinion. If he catches a scum and RNG is on his favor, the scum has zero wiggle room other than try to discredit the claimer. I also would suggest finding a way to rework the role so that there is no need for RNG.

I'll find a nerf.

Coupled with two confirmable Town roles, scums have no chance for day chat leadership to counteract the lack of night cycle control.

Lunatics greatly disrupt town communication, no one can be entirely certain what they say is true. I believe scum is fine in comparison to town.

Responses above.

[deathworlds]

Bump

[deathworlds]

Updates: Added feedback, clarified death notes, changed rules, moved Mass Murderer's position on the OoO, grammatical errors fixed, reworked investigator.

[MattZed]

deathworlds , your turn to host is coming up!

Balance Concern: Once a Jester gets itself lynched, it becomes a lot harder for the Jester King to win.

Balance Concern: Scum does not necessarily have a night kill, but town might via Mason Leader

Suggestion: Allow for 4-5 scum if using multiple factions; don't tell players how many there will be.

What happens to the executioner after their target dies?
Does Mass Murderer kill people who don't visit? (do they count as self-visiting for that?)

[deathworlds]

Smart jesters can get lynched, with or without subordinates.

Balance Concern: Scum does not necessarily have a night kill, but town might via Mason Leader

Assuming mason leader is even able to perform a night kill, each of the factions he can perform night kills on has an action that reduces town numbers by 1, and increases scum numbers by 1. It's balanced in my opinion.

Suggestion: Allow for 4-5 scum if using multiple factions; don't tell players how many there will be.

Done

What happens to the executioner after their target dies?

Suicide, assuming you mean that if their target dies at night.

Does Mass Murderer kill people who don't visit? (do they count as self-visiting for that?)

Yes.


Responses in bold white.

I've also added a mechanic that allows all of the true scum to learn their real role when the asylum staff dies, the Sleuth role, and changed what roles are unique.

[MattZed]

Players need more way of discovering their true alignment. Players don't need to know their role, but they should have some idea of what their wincon is.

I'll approve the setup once this issue is dealt with. =D

[Calix]

Just as an aside, if you're a Lunatic, does that mean that you can receive a rolecard that is different from your true alignment? So could a Citizen be a Lunatic who thinks they are an Executioner?

[deathworlds]

As of right now, yes.

I think I got something, It'll be done in a minute.

Edit: Done, I added a new role, removed the uniqueness from the asylum staffs role (now renamed "Asylum Counselor"), removed two confirmed roles, and added another.

Edit V.2: School stuff is coming up soon and I won't be able to host this until June 16th.

EDIT V.3: All roles can now be lunatics, changed the Jesters win condition.

[MattZed]

deathworlds, would you be interested in starting signups for this soon?

[deathworlds]

deathworlds, would you be interested in starting signups for this soon?

For logistical reasons, I would need to request a co-host, my availability may be spotty due to summer vacation starting soon.

[Unknown1234]

I'd do it, but never hosted before so that's probably a bad idea XD

[Funce]

For logistical reasons, I would need to request a co-host, my availability may be spotty due to summer vacation starting soon.

I would also be available for co-hosting.
I've never done it before either.

[Gyrlander]

I can give you a hand if you need :calix:

I can give you a hand if you need :calix:

:magikarp:

Who needs the main host when you can have co-hosts like these?

I am also around :rolleyes:

[MattZed]

Seems like you have a lot of cohosts able to serve! Pick your favorite.

Approved for signups, although I believe I will have more questions.

In the signup thread, you will be required to indicate that some players may get a false rolecard. I leave the balancing of who and how many roles get this up to you, but hope you decide very carefully.

So the Jester King doesn't choose who to target, correct?

Why does the town need to eliminate the Jester King to win?

[Gyrlander]

:magikarp:

Who needs the main host when you can have co-hosts like these?

I am also around :rolleyes:

Sorry? Are you insulting me as a host? Because then you're completely WRONG.

Anyway, I offered my help because I've at least a small small experience with hosting, but I would prefer you to choose Calix instead of me because I would like to play the game :P

[deathworlds]

Seems like you have a lot of cohosts able to serve! Pick your favorite.

I'll post signups when I get all the final details covered.

Will do!

So the Jester King doesn't choose who to target, correct?

Correct.

Why does the town need to eliminate the Jester King to win?

I thought it would be appropriate because the Jester King converts town members into his faction. Do you think I should change that?


^^

Calix, I'll message you later about co-hosting.

[Calix]

Posting to confirm.

Please consider adding the following rule (or some variant):

Threatened, attempted, or faked gamethrows are prohibited and will result in force replace or modkill at the host's discretion.

Alright, I'll ensure that players play to their assumed allignment, or given allignment. Calix and I will be watching each player carefully and ensure that gameplay is as fair as possible.

Nice, many of us will appreciate that for sure in terms of ensuring a clean, well played game -- thanks, DW.

[SuperJack]

Wrong One!

I wanted to ask if anyone thought that there was some colour missing out of the potential roles. It feels like a particular colour is missing but I dont know which one :(

[deathworlds]

Signups will not be posted until I am done with finals, which will be Thursday the 16th.

[Cryptonic]

Can a Lunatic be a Vigilante that thinks it's a Doctor and kill someone?

[deathworlds]

Can a Lunatic be a Vigilante that thinks it's a Doctor and kill someone?

Yes, feedback would be contradictory though.

[Cryptonic]

Yes, feedback would be contradictory though.

ok cool!

Would a Vigilante who thinks they are doctor receive feedback that they healed their target? lol

[deathworlds]

ok cool!

Would a Vigilante who thinks they are doctor receive feedback that they healed their target? lol

They may or may not receive the proper feedback.

[Cryptonic]

Interesting.. lol wish I could play D:
