So here are our players

Town:
Insane cop: Kai
Jonzey
Panda
Epoa
Lyncher: Golgari
Pablo
Doc (replaced by Rianad)
Vigilance
Vigilante: Neo

Third party:
Jester: Intet
Serial Killer: Phats

Mafia:
Bodyguard: wizard
Seal
Cockblock: Steevo
Godfather: jelly

Lyncher must have his target lynched by day 3, regardless of which side they are on and ethnically wins whether town wins, mafia or the serial killer wins but must wait for the end to announce that they won with the winning side.  If they don't get their target, they get stuck with the pro- town wins.

Vigilante may not kill the first night but after that, they have 3 total kills, one per night.  I doubt the game may go that long but who knows?

Cockblock is the roleblocker.  Pick one target per night and they do nothing, blah, blah, blah

Godfather can't be killed by the first shot every night and investigations do not show him as scum

Bodyguard can protect one person of their choosing unless they are lynched.  If they successfully protect someone, the bodyguard dies in the place of the attempted.

Jester kills someone that gave them the hammer vote (aka last voter) or if they are killed in the night, they have a 25% chance of getting their killer. So they are given 4 players and must pick one to get their killer. This kill won't happen the night they are killed, it will happen on the next night.

Serial killer: can't be killed at night, also can't kill the first night but unlimited kills.

Insane cop: can investigate anyone the first night but the reading they get will be the opposite of what their target actually is.

Town: all third party and mafia must be dead

Mafia: all third party dead and must control more than half of the town.

On the off chance everybody dies: lyncher and jester get the technical wins.

I think this is confusing as all hell.   :D


I also have question about the Insane Cop.  Does the cop know he's insane?  If not...that seems like an extremely difficult obstacle.  If so...that seems like a meaningless mechanic that is easily ignored.  But then again...I don't understand how this game even works so... ???

In this case, I chose no to tell the insane cop he is insane.

I gave it to Kai because he should pick up on it real quick after night 2 because this Is going to get super chaotic.

Herald should be able to help explain it once he comes along

Herald present and accounted for.

The lack of Scrib makes this interesting.

Also, Golgari target?

Intet

I feel the whole point of this game is to be the one which introduces the more interesting mechanics - and the more bastard ones - under the cover of being **** INSANE.
The insane cop thing is meant to subvert the group expectations, and encourages higher levels of play. However... This is a biased setup towards Mafia this time around, what with the Godfather needing two shots to kill, as well as the sheer lack of anything to protect the town from the Mafia excesses.

Plus, another thing - unless someone confirms town on day one, Kai's role is going to put a wrench into any judgement calls on the town's part.

This is more biased towards mafia but again, town has Scuttle and Kai, along with Golgari on top of that.

The inclusion of the two shot kill was added at the last minute due to the fact that town has those three.

I wanted to give the mafia a fighting chance against our better players.

Whether it'll help or not, well have to wait and see.

Also, Phats has his own game plan and targets to focus on and Neo will be shooting blindly because its his first game.

I doubt the two shot kill will come into play

Okay so I got put on a Jury today, I also work full time (85% of the time away from a computer) and I'm on the West Coast while most people seem to not be...this puts me hours upon hours behind.  I'm already 5 pages behind on posts and I don't know anything about this game or its mechanics.  What I'm saying is that I wont be a very active spectator and I may drop off entirely as attempting to keep up requires a time commitment I'm probably not able to fulfill.  That said, I will make it my personal mission to learn the mechanics of this game when I do have time, so that I am better equipped to attempt to keep up with...any aspect of the game in the future.

That's part of the reason why I asked you to be a spectator.

So this way you can read but not desperately keep up to stay alive because the meta here generally is "lurking = mafia". Not good for your first game

Just read and post when you can and it won't be held against you.

When I saw jury duty, I was like "there goes his life for awhile"

This is going to be a bit dragged out game with how chaotic it is.  It may become more orderly or with all the stuff I have planned, probably not.

Like i said, catch up when you can, but don't force it, I know people have responsibilities.

Intet you trixy motha-trucka

You play well...and make everyone think there's an issue with it so you become a heavy lynch target...and you're a jester.

* phatpack; Cereal Kjller will have much more respect for your cunningness in the future.

Also: i almost counterclaimed wiz's doctor claim...but decided against it because i figured the real doctor would reveal himself and then town'd have two liars to lynch >.<  Damn my assuming Deadpool made a normal-ish game

Doctors don't believe in Deadpool's psychosis.
So Deadpool doesn't believe in Doctors.
Why the hell would Deadpool remember the number of psychologists he has had over the years?

Deadpool said this was going to be a set up he was going to use on beginners so i assumed it was going to be a simple set up...not this beatiful spider web of crazy.

I made originally for beginners but I made it easy enough to alter and add if need be

I don't think it was crazy enough, actually.

I ran out of time, however.

There's always the next one
