FM X rules & role cards (not finalized)

[Yayap]

Now that FM IX is in full swing, it is time for me to reveal what I've been working on for the past few months. The following is non final and may change without warning. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to post them below. Suggestions may be incorporated before the game starts. Please note that not all roles will be in the final setup, so please don't complain about certain roles being OP, the rarity and vulnerability of the roles will prove to be an important factor once this gets going.

First off, FM X will be hosted here at sc2mafia.com, however, IF I see ANY interfering, editing of posts, cheating, revealing information or things of the sort done by Admins or Super Mods, FM X will immediately be cancelled and restarted on a different forum for all who wish to join.

FM X will have 50 player slots available for sign ups. Sign ups will begin as soon as FM IX is over. 1 person per IP address. Restricted to people who have had an account on these forums before 2012 (exceptions may be made if we can confirm your ID is not a smurf).

Now some of the RULES that will be in the game:

1- No outside of game discussion.
No PMs, no REP, no visitor msgs, no skype, etc. Not even with people not playing. Violators will be replaced ASAP!

2- Anti-Lurk rule:
a-Citizens MUST participate in day chat. Saying "hello" does not count. Any citizen with low posts during the day will have his posts reviewed for content. Violators will be replaced at the end of EACH DAY.
b- Non-Citizens that lurk will be mentioned in the RP as a "clue".. this would expose your non citizen status.

3- AFK rule:
I of all people know that not everyone can be at a PC for every day that he is alive, how many times did I have a hydroplane race to attend to while FM was going on? If you are leaving for any amount of time, please notify me and the anti-lurk rule may be waved. Be warned, if I find any activity from your regular account or FM account, the Anti-Lurk rule will go back into effect. Night actions may be sent in advance.

4- Color for Votes to lynch:
Cyan has been chosen as the dedicated color for votes. Only your vote and the vote tally may use the Cyan color.
All votes must be made in Cyan. No other formatting will necessary but will not be discarded
Ex:
Vote Yayap
Vote Yayap
-Vote Yayap
Will all be accepted.

For a no lynch: Vote Skip Day, if this has the majority of the votes, then no one will be executed.

5- Lying about game/role mechanics:
100% permitted, however if someone asks about it in the FAQ, I will give the correct usage.
So the rule is: if no one officially questions it, you can get away with it.

6- Modkills:
Depending on modkills, some of you may receive more than one FM account. You will receive all advantages to both accounts and votes will count. For this reason, when someone is dead and COM name is revealed, rule #1 still applies! It may be possible that people return from the grave as well.
It shall be noted that there will be 2-3 dead chats (one for town, one for scum, one for cult) Obviously a dead scum or cult will not take on a town role. It is however possible that a dead town takes a scum role.

7- Account names (aka COM names):
You are allowed to lie about this as much as you want, anywhere you want. INCLUDING night chats. Of course, rule #1 will still apply. So there shouldn't be any trouble. ... Right?

8- Communication with the FM Game Master:
I enjoy conversations with others, getting to know what is going through their heads when they make certain decisions. If you make the wrong choice for all the right reasons, it will not penalize you for LVP for example. Our conversations will remain private.
However, ALL QUESTIONS asked will be publicly answered for everyone to see. The person asking the question will remain anonymous if the question was not asked publicly in the FAQ thread.

9- Images, Videos, Links, Annoying Formatting:
All permitted, but please don't abuse this privilege. (If I don't see your vote because of your formatting, your vote is void)

10- PMs from the GM
You may not post a screen shot of the PM. You may however say it's content word for word. Not all PMs will be the same, even if it's the same result.

11- Codes and Encrypted Messages
No code or encryption may be created with the use of a program or website. Pencil and paper is just fine. If you manage to make a mathematical cipher that encrypts a message I'm ok with it since it will be very hard to hide the fact that you are sending a secret message if you type a bunch of gibberish (and not to mention the time you will waste coding and decoding your messages [trust me, I know! I made one in FM2]). You may even use the invisible ink, due to the high risk of exposure from someone quoting you. Note that Rule #1 ALWAYS applies.


Game Mechanics:

1- Day and Night Length
Every day and night will be 46-48 hours long.

2- Lynching
Please see the current voting settings for each day to see how to vote. (some days may be hidden ballot, some days may be multiple lynch days for example)

I know that not everyone can be on their PC 24/7 (contrary to popular belief, neither am I). For this reason, you may vote for as many people as you wish. The person who gets majority first will be lynched. In the event no majority is reached, depending on the vote rules, it may be possible that whoever has the most votes will be lynched.

3- RP:
There will be 1 RP at the beginning of each day. There will be no big night RP. The final post of each day will be a very short RP updating the graveyard with anyone that died during the day.
Hints and clues may or may not be in the RPs... and I will not be confirming nor denying anything.

4- Day 0
When Day 0 starts. You will be given a chance to ask questions using your new FM account about anything that hasn't been answered before the game starts. No one will receive their roles until the end of Day 0 so no hints about ones role can be leaked by asking questions. No actions may be made during day 0 (jailor CANNOT jail).

5- Modkills and replacements
Names may or may not be shared publicly for who is replaced by who. I'm still thinking about this.

6- Roles and Lvl
Most roles will have multiple levels. After leveling up, that role usually becomes more powerful. Each role will have it's own requirements on what is needed to lvl up. Please see the role cards for examples.

Harsh rules are harsh

[Yayap]

The problem arose when someone made an anti-lurk rule and didn't enforce it. I will enforce it. I'm tired of seeing 1/2 the citizens not play. Don't you worry about the modkills... certain roles may or may not stay the same if someone is modkilled and I'm sure the experienced players in the graveyard will be more than willing to jump back in instead of wasting their time watching lurkers not post.

[CmG]

I hope you find a nice picture of Hitler for your Game Master account. If you can't find one feel free to ask me. xD

If you really give those people on the Graveyard a "second chance" that's really op. Won't do the game any good. They have extra info from their first role and get a second.

[Deathfire123]

Okay Rule #6 is stupid. The point of mafia is, when you're dead, you're dead (unless you're a ghost), this should not change unless you die N1, because you havent actually played the game yet

Game Mechanics #2 is OP
#4 is stupid, The fuck is the point of a first day if jailor can't jail and people can't scum hunt?

If you are going to criticize these I could probably give a 20 minute rant how stupid your m-fm balance was.


So be nice

[Nick]

50 player slots
I have reservations about this. Thinking again, maybe not. I suppose M-FM players are dying to join the main FM.

Rule#6
I'll wait for the role cards and rules before commenting.

Game Mechanic#4
Fully agree. We will try our best to exploit and break your setup. I find that most people do not bother reading the FAQ until after the game has started.

[Muso]

Looks great, Yayap.

I like the look of the changes you're introducing.

[McJesus]

I'm actually curious about this... do go on your little tangent

[Guardian]

6- Modkills:
Depending on modkills, some of you may receive more than one FM account. You will receive all advantages to both accounts and votes will count. For this reason, when someone is dead and COM name is revealed, rule #1 still applies! It may be possible that people return from the grave as well.
It shall be noted that there will be 2-3 dead chats (one for town, one for scum, one for cult) Obviously a dead scum or cult will not take on a town role. It is however possible that a dead town takes a scum role.

this is the only thing i have a problem with.

the bolded parts are the parts i have problems with.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

TOWN
Town can only get another town account
Only dead and uncleaned (as in, we know your role) Citizens can receive mod-kill accounts.

MISC
other mod-kill FM accounts will be given to non-participants (preferably non-troll ones)
Players cannot obtain (or have) more than 1 account at a time (exception for any smurf-type accounts)

SCUM
Mafia can only have mafia accounts
Cult can only get Cult (or Cult-ed accounts)

NEUTRALS
No restrictions (apart from having only 1 acc at a time)
Again, May only get a new account If the old (and dead) acc was NOT cleaned.

[Yayap]

Concerning most of the issues from Rule #6:
I'm hoping that I don't have to use this at all. However, if need be, I have kept this available and I thought you should all be aware of it. Of course, the reserve list shall take priority to any other action.

If I need to bring back from the grave, it will mostly be those that were killed night 1 or early on, that got no action and no chance to play. I won't be bringing anyone back from the dead that has information that hasn't been made public. (for example investigator dies before sharing his info, he wouldn't be put back in unless that info was already discovered)

People that would get multiple accounts would most likely be mafia and not town, besides, when was the last time you heard of a mafia getting modkilled anyways. I hope FM X isn't the first.



The biggest change to mechanics and role list will be posted after day 4 of FM IX gets posted.

[Kevinpowers]

Looks very good. Wish night and day had a time reduction but that's not an issue.

[Ubernox]

I'm looking forward to this. However, I don't really understand this "get modkilled and receive a new role" thing. Please, explain Sir Yayap.

[Yayap]

I'm looking forward to this. However, I don't really understand this "get modkilled and receive a new role" thing. Please, explain Sir Yayap.

It prevents everyone from knowing that person is an auto-citizen or PR who gamethrew. Also prevents any strategies from making people get modkilled to "help" their faction. It keeps the investigations roles uninformed about a role and they'll have to still check that person to see if he is good or bad.


Example 1: A mafia member becomes suspected and starts cheating to communicate with all the evil neutrals. That person would be modkilled and replaced. But his role will be re-randomized. So town can't use the cheating tactic against him and the mafia would be penalized by having another person that they have to kill.

Example 2: Lurking Citizens gets modkilled - person replacing him is not a confirmed citizen.

Moral of the story = Do your best NOT to get modkilled!

[Zack]

Mass-voting seems like a troll paradise. inb4 suicidalnoob votes for every single player in the game in one post.

[Forum Mafia GM]

can you vote for everyone and hammer more than 1 person a day?

lmao gm account

[Ash]

First off, FM X will be hosted here at sc2mafia.com, however, IF I see ANY interfering, editing of posts, cheating, revealing information or things of the sort done by Admins or Super Mods, FM X will immediately be cancelled and restarted on a different forum for all who wish to join.

I didn't get this part,
since when can we edit posts?

Edit: Better question, is it possible now?

[Echonian]

1- No outside of game discussion.
No PMs, no REP, no visitor msgs, no skype, etc. Not even with people not playing. Violators will be replaced ASAP!

Saying NO out of game discussion seems a bit impossible to enforce, and talking about events without giving away anything through them is a very fun way to pass the time (such as what happened during the day, or repeating what posts said that everyone has access to). Clarification would help, at least for me.

2- Anti-Lurk rule:
a-Citizens MUST participate in day chat. Saying "hello" does not count. Any citizen with low posts during the day will have his posts reviewed for content. Violators will be replaced at the end of EACH DAY.
b- Non-Citizens that lurk will be mentioned in the RP as a "clue".. this would expose your non citizen status.

This rule is the most odd to me. Being AFK is an issue in FM, that much I can admit to. But enforcing this to any degree in a game that you are planning to have 50 players in (with no restrictions on timing of posts or anything that prevent it from becoming a clusterfuck of reading material) is impossible. Especially if you do it day-by-day.

If the number of people in the game was lowered to 15-25 maximum, this would be a much more reasonable thing to say. As it stands, FM is difficult for many people to keep up with already, and they often have less than 10-15 people actively participating.

My recommendation is to better screen people joining the game in the first place to make sure they'll at least be more active overall. Having day-by-day purging of players based on activity seems a bit overkill to me, especially if there was no reason for them to say anything. If they had 24-48 hours and are being accused of something, and don't respond, then I could understand this however.

3- AFK rule:
I of all people know that not everyone can be at a PC for every day that he is alive, how many times did I have a hydroplane race to attend to while FM was going on? If you are leaving for any amount of time, please notify me and the anti-lurk rule may be waved. Be warned, if I find any activity from your regular account or FM account, the Anti-Lurk rule will go back into effect. Night actions may be sent in advance.

Could be easily combined with anti-lurk rule. The less text people have to read for rules, the better, especially when it can be done without making them less clear.

4- Color for Votes to lynch:
Cyan has been chosen as the dedicated color for votes. Only your vote and the vote tally may use the Cyan color.
All votes must be made in Cyan. No other formatting will necessary but will not be discarded
Ex:
Vote Yayap
Vote Yayap
-Vote Yayap
Will all be accepted.

For a no lynch: Vote Skip Day, if this has the majority of the votes, then no one will be executed.

Not too familiar with why this is needed as a rule (though it would help organize things, running a FM should have you reading every post anyways).

5- Lying about game/role mechanics:
100% permitted, however if someone asks about it in the FAQ, I will give the correct usage.
So the rule is: if no one officially questions it, you can get away with it.

Defining what counts as "official" questioning of it would be helpful. I personally think you should be allowed to lie as much as you want in FM, considering deception is the main function of the game in the first place. Telling the truth is when it begins to sometimes turn into gamethrowing.

6- Modkills:
Depending on modkills, some of you may receive more than one FM account. You will receive all advantages to both accounts and votes will count. For this reason, when someone is dead and COM name is revealed, rule #1 still applies! It may be possible that people return from the grave as well.
It shall be noted that there will be 2-3 dead chats (one for town, one for scum, one for cult) Obviously a dead scum or cult will not take on a town role. It is however possible that a dead town takes a scum role.

Modkills need to not be announced, especially if the conditions for them might impact the game. If a modkill is done because of breaking rules, then people might start deducing that they were telling the truth (if giving away roles, for example). I've seen this happen already to some extent, and the only way to avoid it is to hide modkills and try to make sure that if accounts are given to others or some-such that they don't say they were modkilled (though saying it through speech patterns is impossible to avoid).

7- Account names (aka COM names):
You are allowed to lie about this as much as you want, anywhere you want. INCLUDING night chats. Of course, rule #1 will still apply. So there shouldn't be any trouble. ... Right?

Can be combined with rule #5.

8- Communication with the FM Game Master:
I enjoy conversations with others, getting to know what is going through their heads when they make certain decisions. If you make the wrong choice for all the right reasons, it will not penalize you for LVP for example. Our conversations will remain private.
However, ALL QUESTIONS asked will be publicly answered for everyone to see. The person asking the question will remain anonymous if the question was not asked publicly in the FAQ thread.

9- Images, Videos, Links, Annoying Formatting:
All permitted, but please don't abuse this privilege. (If I don't see your vote because of your formatting, your vote is void)

10- PMs from the GM
You may not post a screen shot of the PM. You may however say it's content word for word. Not all PMs will be the same, even if it's the same result.

11- Codes and Encrypted Messages
No code or encryption may be created with the use of a program or website. Pencil and paper is just fine. If you manage to make a mathematical cipher that encrypts a message I'm ok with it since it will be very hard to hide the fact that you are sending a secret message if you type a bunch of gibberish (and not to mention the time you will waste coding and decoding your messages [trust me, I know! I made one in FM2]). You may even use the invisible ink, due to the high risk of exposure from someone quoting you. Note that Rule #1 ALWAYS applies.

Last ones are related to messages, so I'm just going to say they could be consolidated and not give much input past that.

Sorry for the long reply, but the quotes do help put my responses in context. My general idea is that it needs to be designed to be fun, and overcomplicated rules (though rules are very helpful) can kill that for a lot of people. Everything you've stated I mostly agree with. I just recommend you tidy it up a bit.

[Yayap]

can you vote for everyone and hammer more than 1 person a day?

lmao gm account

You can vote for as many people as you want. Depending on the day voting settings, (will be announced in the day RP) will depend on how many can be lynched that day.
Mass voting would be considered scummy and not recommended but is allowed.

I didn't get this part,
since when can we edit posts?

Edit: Better question, is it possible now?

This part was directed at Dark Rev, Opps_Ur_Dead and Global Moderators. Admins can edit posts everywhere and without leaving a trace. I'm fairly certain I saw some of FalseTruths rules change a few times without him changing them in FM8. In other words, I don't want admins messing with the game, if there is an error that needs fixing, I will fix it myself.

[Yayap]

Saying NO out of game discussion seems a bit impossible to enforce, and talking about events without giving away anything through them is a very fun way to pass the time (such as what happened during the day, or repeating what posts said that everyone has access to). Clarification would help, at least for me.

I don't want any information in skype to influence the game. For example, I don't want to see any WIFOM on skype about who is bad as it may influence votes. PMs, REP and visitor msgs are pretty clear.. nothing about the game.

This rule is the most odd to me. Being AFK is an issue in FM, that much I can admit to. But enforcing this to any degree in a game that you are planning to have 50 players in (with no restrictions on timing of posts or anything that prevent it from becoming a clusterfuck of reading material) is impossible. Especially if you do it day-by-day.

Having day-by-day purging of players based on activity seems a bit overkill to me, especially if there was no reason for them to say anything. If they had 24-48 hours and are being accused of something, and don't respond, then I could understand this however.

It's actually pretty simple, I can see who posted how many times each day, if that number is very low, I can check only that persons posts in that topic and check for content. I do this all the time when playing FM, it's one of my resources. Even just a vote to lynch would be considered content, and there is always something to say about the current argument or current bandwagon.

Could be easily combined with anti-lurk rule. The less text people have to read for rules, the better, especially when it can be done without making them less clear.

Lurking and being AFK are 2 different things. Lurking means you are reading the topic and intentionally not posting. Being AFK, you are not online and can't post even if you wanted to. Thats why I kept the 2 separate.

Not too familiar with why this is needed as a rule (though it would help organize things, running a FM should have you reading every post anyways).

Yes, I'll be reading everything, but when it comes time to count votes, it should be easy for me to find them all without having to re-read everything a second time. Unless you want to wait 5-9 hours (many people can attest that the time needed for me to read all that is no exaggeration) after the day is locked for me to count votes and tell you who was lynched.

Defining what counts as "official" questioning of it would be helpful. I personally think you should be allowed to lie as much as you want in FM, considering deception is the main function of the game in the first place. Telling the truth is when it begins to sometimes turn into gamethrowing.

There will be a separate topic open at all times that will be a FAQ. All questions posted in there or PMed to me will be considered official questions.

Modkills need to not be announced, especially if the conditions for them might impact the game. If a modkill is done because of breaking rules, then people might start deducing that they were telling the truth (if giving away roles, for example). I've seen this happen already to some extent, and the only way to avoid it is to hide modkills and try to make sure that if accounts are given to others or some-such that they don't say they were modkilled (though saying it through speech patterns is impossible to avoid).

Ty for your input.

Can be combined with rule #5.

I added this since it is a change from previous games. But yes, it can be combined.

Last ones are related to messages, so I'm just going to say they could be consolidated and not give much input past that.

I kept them separate since they were rules in the past that have now been omitted or changed. Just want to be clear that people are allowed to do it and not have everyone asking me permission when the game starts.

Sorry for the long reply, but the quotes do help put my responses in context. My general idea is that it needs to be designed to be fun, and overcomplicated rules (though rules are very helpful) can kill that for a lot of people. Everything you've stated I mostly agree with. I just recommend you tidy it up a bit.

So far, your reply had the most input. I appreciate it and it is why I posted it now for everyone to see, I want peoples opinions on it.

[Luna]

I don't want any information in skype to influence the game. For example, I don't want to see any WIFOM on skype about who is bad as it may influence votes. PMs, REP and visitor msgs are pretty clear.. nothing about the game.

Thank you so much for this rule, I hope it's obeyed. I'm sick of all the conversations I see copied from Skype, and people discussing the game amongst themselves.

[Yayap]

Role cards have been posted. Please remember, they are not finale... in fact I made a few changes just as I posted them.

[Luna]

Your version of the Blackmailer is fantastic.

I like the Wizard, basically being a Witch who can choose their own alignment right?

Oh and it's Law 'Enforcement' not 'Inforcement'

[Yayap]

Your version of the Blackmailer is fantastic.

Yup. So we can have good wizards and bad ones.

Oh and it's Law 'Enforcement' not 'Inforcement'

(Yayap uses mind control) You didn't see anything.....

[Muso]

The role-cards look fantastic.

The only one that I saw any potential issues with was the Wizard and his choosing alignments. It seems to me that although choosing the cult/ evil killers would be great fun, it would be nigh-impossible for the Wizard to inform his team of his choice. Granted, traditionally witches have to stay in the sidelines, but the mafia always know that whoever the witch is, they're on their side. Scum won't know that this time around. Even if they figure out who the wizard is, that wizard could be on anybody's side. For that reason, if I was a Wizard who wanted to win, I would probably choose Town.

I almost feel as though you need to add something to this role that permits covert contact.

Maybe, an inventory-item like a Crystal ball.

Description: Once per night, you can tap into your mystic powers and send a spirit message to a player of your choosing. This message will be limited in word count. Optionally for the GM, can display/not display Wizard's name.

[Luna]

Maybe a message could be sent to the people that the Wizard aligns himself with (excluding town)? So, for example, if the Wizard chooses to align himself with the Cult, then the Cult Leader will be informed of this. Neither party is told who the other is.

[Ash]

I like the leveling system and stoof. But I can't help but notice Private Eye is 3 in one. Since he is 3 in one, does that mean there will only be one Private Eye? It would be a shame if a powerful role dies on night 1.

Edit: Will there be a theme? Like Pokemon.. Might make a good theme............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .......

[Yayap]

I like the leveling system and stoof. But I can't help but notice Private Eye is 3 in one. Since he is 3 in one, does that mean there will only be one Private Eye? It would be a shame if a powerful role dies on night 1.

There may be more than 1 private eye, but remember he can only pick 1 action per night until he levels everything up to level 2. So it is in fact a NERF to the current roles since usually, you would have 3 people getting information every night, now you only have 1 person getting info but in the way he chooses.

The only roles that have a maximum of 1 are: Mayor, Jailor, GF and Traitor. (will not confirm nor deny the possibilities of multiple cults - Bwahahaha)

[Ubernox]

can you vote for everyone and hammer more than 1 person a day?

lmao gm account

That's why we love him.

[Ubernox]

What if blackmailed people could be used to do the mafia night kill?

[Yayap]

What if blackmailed people could be used to do the mafia night kill?

Only if they are vigilante/gun owner. And the blackmailer would have to specify the action.
Sounds OP but once you add in all the fake claims and lies, it balances out.

[Yayap]

Someone has asked if a role can loose levels. Currently, the answer is no, however if you guys believe that it would add an interesting twist to the game,

I'm considering adding 1 drug effect and a new wizard power at lvl 2 that would reduce a role down to lvl 1. What do you guys think?

[Ubernox]

I'm not sure, as even getting to lvl 2 seems like a hard enough trial already.

[Yayap]

I'm not sure, as even getting to lvl 2 seems like a hard enough trial already.

This was my initial thoughts as well. There are some that level up rather easily but usually have weaker powers. I think the only one that is easy to level up with any strong power is the mafioso. But kill the mafioso and mafia loose all that power at once & have to start sending someone else to kill.

[CmG]

Well. I don't think most people will ever reach lvl 2 b4 they actually bite the bucket. If you wanna have the level drain ability then give it to some random role.

How about a leech? Has to reach lvl 10 or something. Gains level while draining level from people and if he gets night killed or lynched the killer or the guy who hammers him dies :3


We could call it "The Ex-wife"

[wolfcheese]

5- Lying about game/role mechanics:
100% permitted, however if someone asks about it in the FAQ, I will give the correct usage.
So the rule is: if no one officially questions it, you can get away with it.

Oh lord, if M-FM3 is anything to go by, there will be some scary ass shit in the day chat.

[Deathfire123]

If you are going to criticize these I could probably give a 20 minute rant how stupid your m-fm balance was.


So be nice

What's the point of this antagonism? I was merely pointing out the flaws in his own setup, bringing my M-FM into this is irrelevant.

[Ash]

[Yayap]

Okay Rule #6 is stupid. The point of mafia is, when you're dead, you're dead (unless you're a ghost), this should not change unless you die N1, because you havent actually played the game yet

Game Mechanics #2 is OP
#4 is stupid, The fuck is the point of a first day if jailor can't jail and people can't scum hunt?

You asked for it:
Rule 6 is a warning that if I have no more reserve players, people can still get modkilled. Don't get modkilled if you don't like it.

Rule 2 is needed to stop people from joining the game and doing nothing. Very easy to avoid by participating in a game you signed up for.

Game will start at NIGHT! Day 0 is there simply to get the questions out of the way without anything being held back in fear of people scumhunting.

[Nick]

Well. I don't think most people will ever reach lvl 2 b4 they actually bite the bucket. If you wanna have the level drain ability then give it to some random role.

Well... I expect that
1) how long the game will last
2) success rate
3) balance issues
4) reward vs difficulty level
has been taken into account.

And role list please. I can't comment on some roles like vigilante unless I know how many non-towns there are.

[Deathfire123]

Rule 6 makes sense

Rule 2 is good now that you said there's a limit to the amount of people to be lynched during the day.

Rule 4 is fine as long as Day 0 isn't really long.

[Yayap]

And role list please. I can't comment on some roles like vigilante unless I know how many non-towns there are.

I designed this game to be for 50 players. I don't expect the Vig to reach lvl 3, but by the off chance that all the scum become known really fast, he is there to speed things up.

[Auckmid]

Role list looks great, and I like the level system a lot .

I too express a bit of worry about bringing people back from the dead. Even with the isolated dead chats, if any dead PR tells of any findings they had which they did not tell the living, then no dead people from that chat can be brought back. Trying to make rules as to what you can say in dead chat could turn into the FM8 fuck up all over again, where if you accidentally give too much of a hint, you face being mod-killed and banished from the dead chat. Having said that, hopefully any AFKers/lurkers will get caught very early, so there won't be any of those sort of problems.

Other than that, my 1 question is what would happen if the dark thief stole the 6-round revolver from the vigilante N1? Would he be able to use that gun?

Depending on what has been shared in the dead chat will determine if those people can be revived. I'm hoping that I don't have to resort to this but if I need to modkill people, I'm expecting it to be the first few nights, so there should be very little that people don't already know. Late game modkills will be much harder and I may have to get creative.

Other than that, my 1 question is what would happen if the dark thief stole the 6-round revolver from the vigilante N1? Would he be able to use that gun?

Yup! The Dark Thief is the total counter to some PRs revealing too early. He is almost as powerful as the wizard.
I'm considering returning stolen items to their respectful owners when the thief/dark thief dies.

[Ash]

Question: lets say a thief or dark thief steals from a level 5 mafioso or something, and then the thief uses the gun, will he get the same benefits from the level 5 mafioso or just a regular old gun?

P.S: I hope there's no cheating in dead chat

[Kromos]

I love the roles and the leveling + inventory system.

It seems necessary that dead people are used to replace mod kills as it will be hard enough to even fill the 50 player slots, let alone have a good number of reserves. Lurking is bad enough in a 38 player game so a 50 player game will be even worse and I would expect plenty of mod kills.

Maybe citizens could have a way to level up to make it more interesting for them and for an extra incentive to be active and helpful.

Citizen

Level 1 - Vote counts for 1.
Level 2 - Vote counts for 2.
Level 3 - Vote counts for 3.

As with the ventriloquist the players will not know what the true vote count is. If players are keeping track of who voted for scum each lynch they should be able figure out who has the extra votes if the successful lyncher is a cit.

To level up
to level 2: Be part of a successful lynch on scum 6 times. Your counter is reset if you lynch a town member.
to level 3: Be part of a successful lynch on scum 10 times. Your counter is reset to 5 if you lynch a town member.

You are told when you level up.

Or there could be some other reward for them for lynching scum.

EDIT: I can see some problems with this like cits being too cautious in case they lynch a town member (although it has its benefits as they will behave less like sheep and will actually think about who they are voting for). I don't know if 6 and 10 lynches are too high but I think you want the game to go on longer than the average game + it prevents most of the cits from getting the power and becoming OP.
