The Town of the Rectangles is plagued by the crimes of the Rhombi.
Will the Rectangles be able to find all the Rhombi hidden in their ranks, before the Rhombi outnumber the Rectangles?

• Kills through this ability bypass any protection/healing

• Survivalists or vigilantes who died as citizens are treated as having no character ability.
• Saving yourself as a survivalist or killing a town aligned character as a vigilante will permanently convert you to a citizen (losing all character abilities, but not faction abilities).
• You may NOT target a dead mayor, all other roles are fair game.

I daresay we rectangles should straighten up and keep our rifles by our sides against those crooked rhombi.

The site has a 10-post minimum for all games, regardless of hosts

hosts can expand upon that though and have discretion on whether a post counts as a post

obviously that may not mean much given last game xD

Might be a little off-topic, but I for one am a big fan of soft post minimums, as opposed to "post X times, no matter what and when". One can post 10 times during a day and bring groundbreaking contributions (I believe @Voss was a prime example of that), and one can post 20 times during a day and have said absolutely nothing at all about the game. Of course, lurking is a thing, and to some extent, it can be considered as a legitimate strategy, although it is one I personally despise. However, rather than a hard "post whatever 10 times per day", I'd rather have a "post 10 minimally meaningful normal length/density posts, or a reasonable equivalent in terms of content (this is the kind of thing that if you see it, you know it; a huge wall of dense content is 'worth' much more than a one-liner), about the game per day". This does make more things up to the host's discretion, but it:
- prevents people from posting only cat pics and meeting the mandatory post count strictly from that
- does not count high contribution, low post count as "inactive"

In such circumstances, the "average content post count" could be raised a little, considering 10 one-liners is not much (even when they're about the game) and doesn't really make someone active, whereas 10 walls is a lot and definetly makes somebody count as active.


This is not really a request for this game specifically, by the way. It's a general line of thought about activity enforcement.

Anybody who tries to play the system will meet my disappointment of them. =)

Not sure if it's something that you want to use but if you struggle getting 13 players, my intention if I ever redid this setup was to lower the player count to 11 by eliminating one town and one mafia (8v3), removing Mayor, Jailor and Bodyguard and adding Leach(Swaps character roles with a target player at the end of the night. Ability doesn't roleblock and upon a successful switch, the switch is publicly announced at the start of the next day) and giving one of the mafia a "godfather" bonus (night immunity and appears as town to Sheriff).

Don't have to use it of course if going for 13 and I'm sure that the setup can be rejigged further if it ends up being less than 11.

Ehh, I will reach out to some people.
Around the beginning of next month expect my participation to be shit though.
