Hmm, seems like scum would win that more likely than not. Catching a lone scum is kind of a crapshoot esp. with only one mislynch needed assuming the scum isn't, you know, completely horrible.

Edit: Would make a great IRC setup though.

[Schezo]

Instant lylo's are a luckfest because you have to use actions from the previous days to find them in the first place.

Next setup to be run: Setup.  The Best Setup
open
2 nighttalk masons
2 nighttalk goons
3 vanilla townies

[I have no name]

3:1 ratio means for every scum 3 town.

The exact numbers NNR gave were 6 town 2 scum, probably kind of important  :V

[Conqueror]

So town has to lynch correctly twice in a row, sounds a bit hard even for the best of towns. :V
Might as well make it vengeful mafia, right? :V

Nightless

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

Nightless

that's only remotely fair if you make the first scum to die vengeful outside of lylo, because otherwise lynching scum adds a mislynch

[Conqueror]

For an 8p setup I think this one is pretty interesting.

5 Townies
3 Scum
The scum have no normal nightkill. However, after Day One only:
If a scum player is lynched, scum chose one player to kill, but it then becomes White Flag (scum lose when there is only one scum left)
If a town player is lynched, scum must kill one of their own.

So basically it's either a 4vs1 or 4v2 in day 2 :V

[Conqueror]

Almost. White Flag endgame scenario is interesting because it allows for scum endgaming town with multiple players while still under the threat of instant loss. Basically makes the game "Lynch or Lose" for both town and scum instead of just the town.

Explain? Town have the chance to lynch half the players in Nightless Mountainous. If a quarter of the players are scum, Town has a 50% chance per given game to lynch all scum before scum endgame the town.

Actually., wait, if one scum gets lynched, the number of days before endgame increases...
So I guess you're right that I'd have to make the scum vengeful.

It's still a 50/50 thing aside from that, though. The main point is it'd be interesting to have a game without power roles, and that would bet he most balanced option.

Pesco's post deflated my resolve however >_>

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

the problem is that mountainous is dum

it'd be better to just have another open set-up game like the last two edible games, or a semi-open one

[NekoNekoRex]

That's why it's nightless, since town have a balanced chance of winning, as opposed to normal Mountainous which either needs a lot of townies or a low win rate.

Power roles add an RNG factor to the setup, which makes the game more chancey depending on how the powers are used, assuming scum don't kill them first.

Hence less skill based and more chance based.

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

using power roles well is a skill

[NekoNekoRex]

But scum could just get lucky and NK you

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

Hunting for PRs/Hiding PRs etc.

[Conqueror]

chancey

I think the word you're looking for is swing. But there's always going to be swing based on how the teams are distributed. A small amount of swing isn't a bad thing either.

Power roles don't have to be idiotproof roles like cop. And in any case playing as a PR requires a different skillset from playing as a VT.

Pedit: Scum could get lucky and have the all the lynch leaders while town gets all the lurkers so swing applies even for PR-less games. I mean if you want to reduce PR swing you can try not to put all of town's power in one basket so that one lucky NK doesn't completely destroy the balance you set up.

Not that I really dislike nightless/mountaineous games (VT best role) but they tend to be really draining for the players.

[NekoNekoRex]

I might be biased because I only ever roll Functional Vanilla and I'm awful at power-role guessing, I guess.

[I have no name]

So, Serela, are you ready to run your game?  Or anyone else who's games are on hold I guess.  If not then I finally topped out the queue :V

[ActionDan]

pre /in

for anything.

[Serela]

Not hosting because I might be in hawaii to visit my mom

I'll /in for whatever though because I don't have to worry as much about someone else's game taking 3 weeks to fill up, assuming it starts soon I'll most likely die (or the game will end) before I leave for anywhere

(also because the host can't afford to replace out but a player can)
(technically a host could replace out actually but rofl)

[BT]

/preinners

[Shadoweh]

Oh sweet FF9! IHNN if you give me anyone but Freya I will force you to play the card game for eternity O_O

[WHMZakeri]

/in to play, since I still feel like I need to complete a real game before trying to remember the setup for mine.

Give me Freya, and I'll take over Tetra Master duties for Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

[I have no name]

[NekoNekoRex]

I don't own a PSOne but I'll /in anyway

One of these days I need to get some PSOne games so I can play them on my PS2. Using my PSOne memory card I bought for this exact purpose.
