Game name has no actual relevance to flavor/theme

You've always had someone watching over you, haven't you?
Lets see how well that individual holds up.


This is a 7 Player setup consisting of:

1 Judas - Town reviving mafia-ally.
1 Saulus - Mafia-ally reviving town.
1 Angel - Doctor reviving once on death.
3 1-shot Self-revivers - Revives on death.
1 1-shot Self-reviving 1-shot Strongman - One chance to stop revives along with a kill, and revives on death.

The following mechanics are in place:
  1. Revives that occur during the night phase are not revealed to the public, nor individual, with an exception of the Judas and Saulus being notified of their alignment change.
  2. This game is night start.
  3. Flips do not happen until permadeath occurs.
  4. Mafia-allies do not count towards the mafia faction. They simply win with mafia. Mafia and mafia-allies are not aware of eachothers' identities
  5. Judas joins mafia team upon conversion.
Vanilla revivers do not share the same flavor.

Note concerning flavor: PMs and flip flavor will not contain spoilers for anything, but people who understand what the flavor is referencing will be able to understand.

Sample Role PM
You're being paid to retrieve a woman who you have little information on. Not much information is given about the job, or where exactly you are going, but the pay is big, and you can't afford to not accept.

However, the boat you set out on lost its way, and all of its passengers except for you mysteriously vanished when you turned your back on them. Lost, you find yourself drifting at sea. Having lost your way, you slowly starve to death. As you drift off to sleep, you suddenly realize you're not hungry anymore. You open your eyes, and find yourself surrounded by people you don't know.

Being a military man yourself, you can tell that there is killing intent amongst those that you find yourself in the company of now..


You are a 1-Shot Self-Reviver. You side with the town.
You win when all threats to you are eliminated.

Players (ISO goes here):
1. Sakura
2. Zexion
3. Lincolm
4. Nohitter
5. Calignobot
6. Setsuen
7.

General Rules:
- Do not Edit or Delete any of your posts.
- Do not quote anything from the PMs given to you by the mod.
- Do not communicate outside of this thread unless your role PM allows you to.
- Do not use any form of provable randomness, saying that you flipped a coin and acted on that is fine, proving that you flipped said coin is not.
- I am human, and I may make mistakes, if I make a mistake send me a PM or state it in bold.
- PLAY TO WIN

Deadlines:
- Day times consist of 4 days, and it may be extended only on extreme circumstances. Any votes or unvotes after deadline wont count, if the day reaches deadline before a majority is reached, the day ends without a lynch
- Night times consist of 24 hours. Until then you may submit or change your action as many times as necessary, you may also decide to take no action by stating it in your PM, any actions taken after deadline wont count and if you didnt send in an action it will count as No action.

Voting and Lynching:
- You may vote a player by stating in bold Vote: Player Name, an Unvote is not required to change your vote but it helps. When a player has reached 50% + 1 of the votes in play, a lynch will happen and the day will end. If I can interpret the intent to vote, it will count.
- Acronyms and Shortened names are fine as long as I can clearly understand who is being voted.
- Alternatively you may vote to end the day without a lynch by voting for it Vote: No Lynch
- When a Lynch has ocurred before the end of the day, the game enters twilight zone, during this time all players including the lynchee may continue to post until I post the lynch scene and end the day, from then on the Lynchee is considered dead and cannot post.
- Dead players cannot post, but may make a bah post without revealing any game content in the following day phase.

Activity
- A player that hasn't posted for over 24 hours will be automatically prodded.
- Prods must be responded to in the game thread.
- If a player is going to be absent for 24 hours or more they may state that they'll be on V/LA for said time, no more than 3 days V/LA will be accepted and you should consider replacing out if you're going to be gone that long.
- Failing to pick up your prod within 24 hours will end in you getting replaced, you still have time to pick up your prod until a replacement is found.
- If no replacement can be found the slot will be modkilled instead.
- If a player has been prodded 3 times, a prod will be force replacement or a modkill.

If any rule is broken you will be modkilled and become a Neutral Survivor, hence automatically lose.
Modkills may or may not end the day early.
Pretending to break a rule will count as breaking the rule.
Questions > Modkills, if you have doubts whether you're about to break the rules feel free to PM me to make sure.
If you have any questions towards me State it in bold
I'll try to have a vote count at least once every 2 pages, unless i'm sleeping or something.
Last but not least, have fun <3

In the case i've missed anything, refer to these lovely rules by Lybydose: https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/p/1062608

This game can end really fast because of the tilt potential of judas and saulus.

Gonna go sleep.

does the mafia know the saulus' identity?

mafia is unaware of mafia-ally's identities.

Should he be?

imo judas should just join the mafia team after conversion

but idk if mafia should be aware of saulus' identity or not
Amianki
Both should be hidden. Making Judus join the mafia member just makes the strongman kill riskless. Judas being known means he just gets stomped the moment his revive gets used.

the problem of this setup as it is now is that everybody has the same amount of information in every phase of the game, and flips don't give any information at all - basically it could perfectly be noreveal and nothing would change

these are 2 things i've thought of so far:

- Judas joins mafiateam on conversion and town has one more self-reviver
- People are notified if their revive gets popped and mafia knows saulus' identity
Topic Starter
Nyquill
Anyone else have any input on this? I agree the gamestate is never concealed, i'm just wondering how much of a problem people see this as.
Amianki
Mafia knowing Saulus' identity is bad. All that does is make him die the next night that he's popped. It doesn't really help mafia at all otherwise outside of LyLo. It's nowhere near enough to balance town having self-notifications about revive.

Judas joining mafia team on conversion just trivializes mafia's strategy this game. There's merit in killing lynchees to reduce playercount as well as popping more revives at night, but Judas-hunting will basically mean doing the latter until it pops, then doing the former as much as possible. It lowers the strategy in the night game without a whole lot of extra benefit.

If information is the problem, consider the following:

1. Town gets a revive-cop and mafia a role cop (most likely going to have to increase the player count to 9 to include this)
2. Mafia gets a 1-shot mafia-ally census taker (AKA they know the state of both Judas and Saulus)
3. Saulus gets a 1-shot mafia neighborize (AKA they get to name a mafia member and if they're right, they join the mafia team and just have a one-shot revive. Otherwise, their role stays the same). It can only be used before they flip.
4. Angel alone is notified of when their revive pops. Angel is the only role that won't be able to live an extra night if they reveal it.

etc.

1. cop is a bad idea imo, a cop requires a mafia role who can cc it and who's known by the strongman
2. it's almost useless if it's only 1 shot
3. a Saulus who knows the identity of the mafia team isn't that wise
4. this one could be ok, but still pretty useless

the major issues of this setup in this moment are:
1. mafia not knowing the identity of any of his allies
2. judas being a frustrating role because he doesn't know the identity of the mafia; his play after he gets popped is hoping that the mafia doesn't get lynched before 4p
3. town not getting any information at all at any stage of the game

1. This is why I recommended it being increased to 9p to account for a second mafia.
2. Maximum I would suggest is 2-shot if it's included. Allowing it any more than that and they might as well just be notified when either flip.
3. ...You didn't fully read what I said. I said if he was correct, he joins the mafia team and the revive doesn't turn him into town.
4. It's a lot better than giving the town the ability to confirm people based on having their revive popped or not. That could easily fuck the mafia over.

Just my opinion but shouldn't these reviews and fixes happen before a setup is declared ready to mod?
Amianki
After the several talks Nyquill and I had off the forum, I believed it was ready the way it was. No one else voiced anything beforehand that I know of.
Lincolm
Just saying, Saulus and Judas are bad and bastard role, so unbalanced game is what we get.

But y know, we seek the fun from bastard game anyway. Lol
Sakura
If ppl have concerns they should be voiced before the game goes into signups, otherwise players that signed up for it in it's current state (i.e. me) are just here watching you guys review and fix it.
Sephibro
sorry sakura i didn't mean to delay the beginning of the game, but i've watched the setup and i think it needs some corrections for people who joined it to enjoy the game

that's the problem, Saulus is not bastard at all in this setup and Judas is only bastard for the player playing it

If you're having Saulus only, then this is heavily town-sided. To make the game "balanced" at bastard game is to put Judas in. And work vice versa. So both of role are a problem.

It still worth to try, because why not?

I think I want to give this setup in its current state a shot. Its not like any harm can come in trying a new setup.

If anything, I'll fix it after we run this and then I can try again with fixes at some other date somewhere in the far future.
Sephibro
this setup's mistake is that no one gets any information ever, ending up being a random lynching-killing for both town and mafia at every phase of the game until something happens

it's not trying a new setup, this is random and it's a fact. if you decide to run it, don't do it for the sake of "trying new things" do it aware that it will be random like that, and i can't blame you for doing that
Sakura
What are you talking about, flips don't have on first death, they happen when the player is gone for good tho.
Sephibro
what kind of information do you get from a flip here? nothing more than dead player's role

The fact that it is random like that is "trying something new". I think you misunderstand.

Same with how mafia and math works, "elimination". Not saying you're wrong, but like what I say earlier, this is "mafia with math".

And by using mafia theory, this is not random.

btw my aim was to improve the setup of a game i'm not in for you to enjoy it better, but it seems you're not even a bit grateful for that

if you want to play a mountainous setup with changed names and revives go ahead, you'll figure out by yourself that i was right

And now you go back on what you said about respecting the fact that I am just using the setup for what it is.

Can you make up your mind? I am grateful that you are putting thought into my setup, but if all you're going to do is be an asshole, then I recommend you leave.

Actually, when you think about it, this isn't mountainous enough. If it was 7p mountainous, it is possible to make mafia team guilty by association with their two known partners.
I think I'll take one of your changes then, in order to make this truely mountainous.

Judas will join mafia team upon conversion.

Is that a problem with anyone? This will be the only thing I'm changing.

I'm not calling you an asshole because you're trying to help, i'm calling you an asshole because you have the misguided idea that everyone must accept what you are saying, and that you consistently are being a hypocrit.

Its funny that instead of trying to continue evaluating the changes I just made in efforts of doing what you just said you would do, you just complain that you are not being credited for trying to help. Who said I do not appreciate it? I do and I understand what your concerns are. However, you said it yourself, theres nothing wrong with accepting the setup for what it is. Being a child a going back on what you just said in order to try to continue to make your point seem more important is no longer helping, but being a nuisance.

Maybe if you were more true to your own words would I think you're more sincere in your words, but as it is right now, you are excused.

This is no longer negotiable. You may leave.
