Culture Mafia signups

Elaborating on posts #16 and #22: I decided to get rid of my main form of anti-claim, which was that scum could trigger one player's hidden anti-claim ability each night if they correctly stated their character. I had things like making a dayvig's gun backfire and Dreamer results include three townies. (At least one of those is an example and was never in the setup.) The more I thought about it, the more I thought I should give them some less destructive anti-claim tools along with information about fake-claims. This change has led me to rebalance the setup, something I'm not happy about doing after posting signups, but there you have it.

Thank you Savant for editing the OP to reflect this change.

I edited the OP to reflect who signed up for the game.

Lunatic also signed up, and whiteflame and Wryly could be listed as backups.

Yeah... I am glad you changed that, that is brutal....

In fairness, I did warn people about it, and it was probably less mean than Kohai's omni-target permanent roleblock in 90's-00's nostalgia.

I should probably clarify why I got rid of the hidden anti-claim mechanics. It was not because I thought they would be too powerful in the context of that setup. It was because they would be so powerful if triggered that I counterbalanced it by making scum weak without them. If people followed my advice to claim with extreme caution, town would have had it too easy.

Again, I don't like changing the setup after posting signups, but I'm trying to make it so you won't need to treat each night phase as two sub-nights. I'll see what I can do.

Hey everyone, sorry for disappearing out of the blue like I did. I think I'm ready to get back into mafia.

Have you run the setup by an experienced player?

No.

I would love to, and I offered a lookover to at least one person on here, but looking over it would disqualify you from playing, and with a playerbase this small, I need all the players I can get. I have, however, tested the setup 'by hand' enough that I think it is reasonably balanced, although I could be spectacularly wrong.

I am mildly insulted at the implication that I am an inexperienced player, unless you meant that even experienced players usually seek peer-review, which I am fairly sure they do not, at least on here.

Have you made setups on other sites?

no offense but idk your experience; yes, getting your setup peer reviewed by a experienced mod (not player- misspoke) is normal for noob mods

also I’m not gonna play cause I’m not gonna spend serious time on this site- not for quite some time anyway

Have you made setups on other sites?

Yes, although not as complicated as this.

Alr. If you want me to look over it, lmk

Would you drive around town in a car that had three missing tires?

Nah but I would probably search for a mechanic instead of hoping the wheels will just show up without any effort on my part.

Thoth, I could help you shrink the setup down to 7. I don’t think it’s realistic you get 9 anytime soon.

Or, if you wanna preserve your setup, I could just post a sign-ups myself and whip up a 7-player setup rq. I may not have the time to play, but hosting takes way less time.

Just to get the mafia ball rolling again. Then maybe you’ll get 9 afterwards.

Pinging all people above me on the mod list to ask if it’s okay with y’all (especially you Thoth).

I'm good with whatever, just be nice to be able to start this.

considering mafia has been stalled for a month im down

I'm not shrinking my setup, but I'm 100% okay with you running a smaller setup ahead of me, and I will likely play it. I'm not sure how to rearrange the mod queue to accomodate this, but I will gladly let whoever is in charge of that figure it out as long as I stay near the top after your game is done.

Dw I’ll handle things with the mod queue
