http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?tit ... pen_Setups there are some free open setups and semi open setups on the wiki that anyone can use. some are even guaranteed to be balanced.

some are even quite small: http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?tit ... pen_Setups

and then you just attach a flavour name to each role.




preview-edit: i am honestly not sure how the mafia could have caught the demon. even up until the end it was pretty much impossible and then it came down to THE COIN.

Yeah. I would much prefer being lynched on day 1 to not playing at all.

i would really like to not live to the end for once. i always miss out on the dead channel!

oh, here is a thought. what if before a game starts so that this isn’t rolepm related, people divide themselves into two groups:

A) I would be sad if i were killed on day / night 1
B) I would not care all that much if I were killed on day / night 1

hopefully the second group would be big enough otherwise this kinda falls apart.

and then on day 1 we only lynch / night kill from group B unless there’s some really good reason to kill from group A.

good reasons:

group b is smaller than 1/3 of the players because then it’s possible that the entire scum team is in there by mistake and that’d be weird.
someone in group a claims scum (they should be lynched)
someone in group a claims a power role on day 1 or really obviously breadcrumbs their role (they should be nightkilled)
most people are suspicious of someone in group a and there aren’t any good enough targets in group b, then lynch the suspicious person (caveat: thinking outside the box like alphabeta does is not scummy.)

I think the demon was a neat balancing factor.
It was kinda bad if town or mafia started to win too much since then they would stop killing each other and start to truly demon-hunt.

Spotting us was probably hard yeah, but I don't think it was supposed to be easy.

I am kind of reluctant to put myself in group B because of course I would be sad.
That doesn't mean I think my sadness should stop anyone from doing it.

maybe should be worded differntly then. The “it would be very upsetting and unfun if it happened to me” group and the “meh, it happens” group.

I think I would be confused if it happened to me on the first day and wonder how i could do better. if it happened the first night i would be proud.

If it happened the first night and you thought you were part of the only scum faction you would presumably be confused as well as proud.

But not confused for long, because of the dead player hangout!
