Hello, guys. Since Luna already started mini-FM 1, I already started planning ahead and went to planning the second season of Mini-Forum Mafia. It will be most likely that I will host this season.
Personally I see the Forum Mafia as an excellent ground of testing out new role. While I would like to insert as many new roles in the game as possible, I also need to check out how they will affect the current metagame. So, for the next Mini-Forum Mafia season, I will include one, and only 1 of my new roles - and it will be a neutral killing role.
There is still a lot of time before the first Mini-FM ends, so I'm gonna need to use that time to create a poll, to decide which new role should be insterted in Mini-FM. I currently have a choice of three roles: Killer Agent, Electro Maniac, and Werewolf. Here is the short description of each of then:
Role name: Killer Agent
Description: An master of undercover, which goal is to break conspiratorial groups apart.
Alignment: Neutral/Evil
Abilities: Kill someone at night
Special: If you become converted by Mason, Cultist, or any other faction that can convert, they will see you as if you were converted from Citizen (if they can see original roles). You will keep your original alignment and goals.
Goal: Kill everyone else who opposes you.
The setup with Killer Agent will include Masons and Cultists.
Role name: Electro Maniac (basic variant)
Description: A crazy killer, who is obsessed with the electricity.
Alignment: Neutral/Evil
Abilities: Pick a player every night. That player becomes charged with electricity. If your target is already charged, you will electrocute and kill him on your next visit.
Special: If a charged player visits another person who is also charged, they both become electrocuted and die. This can happen as early as second night (when second victim is picked by Electro Maniac). The Electro Maniac is immune to his own effects.
Goal: Kill everyone else who opposes you.
The setup's theme is - Electro Maniac & Arsonist! Both roles will be present during the game
Role name: Werewolf
Description: A mad person, infected by Werewolf's curse and willing to pass that curse to someone else.
Alignment: Neutral/Evil
Abilities: Kill someone at night or infect a person (once per Werewolf)
Special: Once per game, you may infect a single person with Werewolf's curse. The target will be notified of this. During the 3 day period, the target will retain his role and alignment, but after 3 full days, that person becomes a new Werewolf. The infection is passed only once per Werewolf.
Goal: Be the last to survive. If you die, you still can win if your infected target manages to win as Werewolf.
Other than the inclusion of Werewolf, this one is fairly close to the standart SC2 Mafia setup.
Only one of then will make it to the next seson of the Mini-Forum Mafia. EM, KA, or WW? Make your choice, it's time for a new poll!
