⚠️WARNING: THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A NORMAL GAME.

Bus Stop Mafia

The game is split into two alignments: Bus Drivers (town) and Mafia Drivers (scum). The Mafia Drivers are trying to control traffic for their own goods, while the Bus Drivers must stop them from doing so. Some bus drivers have special abilities that allow them to find the traitors, but unfortunately, some mafia drivers also do.

Roles

Bus Driver (Town bus driver):

You are a regular bus driver with no abilities other than to drive a bus and to vote.

Every night, you may use your driving ability to switch two players around, causing actions (if any) done on them to be swapped around.

You win when all mafia drivers are eliminated.

Armed Driver (Town odd-day night vigilante bus driver):

Your sense of security has finally come to use. You have a gun.

Every night, you may use your driving ability to switch two players around, causing actions (if any) done on them to be swapped around. You may also shoot one of your passengers. However, because of your limited amount of bullets, you can only shoot during odd numbered nights.

You win when all mafia drivers are eliminated.

Doctor Driver (Town doctor-vigilante JOAT bus driver):

You are the best at medicine among your fellow bus drivers. You may use your skills to heal people or to kill people.

Every night, you may use your driving ability to switch two players around, causing actions (if any) done on them to be swapped around. You may choose to either heal or kill one of your passengers.

You win when all mafia drivers are eliminated.

Detective Driver (Town cop bus driver):

You love reading detective stories in your free time, which grant you the ability to distinguish mafia and town.

Every night, you may use your driving ability to switch two players around, causing actions (if any) done on them to be swapped around. You may also sneak to someone's house and find out if they're a part of the mafia or a normal townie. However, you will be forced to give up your bus driving for the night if you choose to do so.

You win when all mafia drivers are eliminated.

Alien Driver (Town passive partial tracker miller bus driver):

You are not like the other bus drivers. You are from another planet. Your special alien ability allows you to know who everyone targeted (only one person's information will be given). However, you behave closer to mafia, so you will be considered to be a mafia member by the detective driver.

Every night, you may use your driving ability to switch two players around, causing actions (if any) done on them to be swapped around. You also get to know who each person targeted.

You win when all mafia drivers are eliminated.

Goon Driver (Mafia bus driver):

With some luck, you are recruited into the mafia drivers although you don't have any other special abilities.

Every night, you may use your driving ability to switch two players around, causing actions (if any) done on them to be swapped around. You and your teammates share a private discord server, where you may discuss at any time and kill 1 people per night.

You win when the number of mafia drivers exceeds the number of bus drivers.

Buff Driver (Mafia night vigilante bus driver):

You joined the mafia because of your buffness.

Every night, you may use your driving ability to switch two players around, causing actions (if any) done on them to be swapped around. You may also choose to kill BOTH of your passengers. You and your teammates share a private discord server, where you may discuss at any time and kill 1 people per night.

You win when the number of mafia drivers exceeds the number of bus drivers.

Blindfold Driver (Mafia paranoid gun owner bus driver):

You joined the mafia because you are... special.

Every night, you may use your driving ability to switch two players around, causing actions (if any) done on them to be swapped around. You will kill the first person to target you (if any), no matter what. You and your teammates share a private discord server, where you may discuss at any time and kill 1 people per night.

You win when the number of mafia drivers exceeds the number of bus drivers.

Setup


This information is not to be seen until the game finishes. I'll adjust it according to the number of players. We'll need at least 9 players to start though.

Special Mechanics


To prevent too many people dying at the same night, killing someone who is dead will instead revive them. The doctor's heal ability will be unlimited.

Night Action Examples


Player A: Drives B and C
Position B will have player C and position C will have player B.
Player B: Drives A and C
A was at position A, C was at position B, so A would be swapped over to position B and C would be swapped over to position A.
Mafia: Kills B
A is in position B, so A would be killed instead of B.

I'll start the game once Bambi's game ends. I might have to nerf some of these roles if we don't have like 15 people playing. Otherwise so many people would die in just one night.

Any suggestions on roles?

no but i'll watch

Can I still join or is there already enough people?

Anyways I'll join if it's still available.

Also, I don't really get the ability to pick 2 people to swap them around thing.
What does that do exactly and how does one do it?

An example would help too.

Sure you can join. The bus driver role can “drive” two people so that the actions done on them are swapped.

  1. Bus driver A switches B and C
  2. Vigilante D decides to kill B
  3. Day comes. Mafia kills E, B is alive, C is dead

This game is literally just taking the bus driver role to the extremes.
rematyar
i just realized that this is so complicated but okay
McEndu
Suppose driver A switches B and C, and driver B switches A and C

There are several possible interpretations:
  1. A goes first, then B; this results in A=C, B=A, C=B
  2. B goes first, then A; A=B, B=C, C=A
  3. A goes first (A=A, B=C, C=B), then B acts on switched targets resulting in A=B, B=C, C=A
  4. B goes first (A=C, B=B, C=A), then A acts on switched targets resulting in A=C, B=A, C=B
(A=B means that Mafia attempting to kill A will result in B being killed instead)
(The last two also affect actions of vigs, JOATs, cops, and mafia vigs)

Anyway, if you decide to NK/vig someone, you have a 1 in alive men count of getting on target

When Bambinex's game finishes.

If nothing else, it's just a lot more headache for the mod than for the players.

My solution: use random.org to determine the order of driving; the one on the top gets to drive first.

Basically, only lynches are accurate, night actions are guaranteed to land on a random guy instead

That would be too uncontrollable though. I'm just going to use time order.

Not random.org every time, just use it once and post the order at the start of the game would be enough
Jacques Chirac
nah I like the "first come first serve" idea
samX500
can we see who were swapped around?

Because if the swap actions are secret than our own action may as well hit a random target, there is no way to predict how 10 differents swaps are gonna go and in what order.

This removes the point of swapping

That would be a good idea. Then swapping could somehow be actually used strategically.
