ah, you said you could post it here, so open.... I would hold off ob posting it here. This isn't quite the place for specific setup discussion.

[ashersky]

I'm working on creating a mini setup of C9++. I really really really like the idea of rolling for roles (and not just the idea of "Hey, let's pick one of these 4 pre-determined setups").

I have a draft up, if anyone is interested in what I have I'll shoot you a QT link, or I could just post it here, too. I'm sure it needs lots of edits, I am not good at balancing these things quite yet.

I'll look it over.  Happy to sit it out if need be.

This is going to end up open yes? If so i'll take a look, but if that means I can't play I don't want to see...

It will be open, I'll PM you in a minute

Dsell, the most I can tell you about f.ds meta mafia is what Arch said, basically.

PMs will assign you a role, alignment, and someone else's meta.  You're welcome to try to emulate them.  All votes and night kill targets must be metas, not players in the game.  So if I want to lynch Dsell, I don't vote for Dsell, I vote for who I think his meta is.

There are ridiculously crazy roles.  I expect the game to be fast, probably no more than 3 or 4 days maximum.  I would posit that very little effort will be required.

All in all, I think you'd like it.

[ashersky]

Can someone point me to where people talk about meta-mafia a bit more? Or can someone describe it? It sounds highly intriguing, and I could use a good bastard game.

basically, you have to play the meta of another player that isn't you. It's in your role, I think. ashertype can explain it to you better.

Whaaaaat. Woah. That almost reminds me a little of hydras, but without the secret element.

What we have for certain is...
Each player will be assigned a f.ds player. All actions, votes, etc. Must be targeted against a certain meta (Robz, Dsell, etc.) instead of the player itself.

Should be fun!

You got it.  I expect you to play.

I expect everyone to play.

I expect everyone to play.

Well, it's designed for 13 right now.  I could expand it to 16 or 21 pretty easily, I think.  But 13 is the sweet spot.

Reserve a spot?

Question: If Robz is not playing, will there still be a Robz meta? If Dsell is playing, is there a possibility of not being a Dsell meta?

Like, is the 13 players playing the 13 metas, or is it 13 of the most known?

I've revised Hangman to be semi-blitz.  5 day Days and 24 hour Nights.  9 players.  Check it out and sign up!

Add me in for a second normal game!

It'll be clear at sign ups, but:

"Metas" that are assigned to players will be selected from posted vote counts in any games run on f.ds (I'll probably limit this).  If a vote was cast for the entity, that meta is fair game.  If you wanted to make an exhaustive list of possible vote receivers, you could skim all of the games and make a list from all vote counts.

That's all I'll say on the matter.

Are any of the games in the bastard queue total (or mostly) screw-off games? I haven't followed like any of the recent bastard games, so maybe some of them have been, but the direction things seemed to be moving were towards super flavorful or experimental RMM games. Which is great, but sometimes it's even a little more effort than I want to give. I like a bastard game where it's all just zaniness and jokes and fun with some mafia thrown in. Especially when I'm really busy/in other games, it's a nice mental break. I know that these sorts of games can sometimes get stalled when the players have no info or don't know what to do or if everyone just gets bored, and I know that f.dsers like a little seriousness thrown in with their goofiness, but I feel like there's a good balance somewhere between light-heartedness and an alright game of mafia. Can anyone recommend a game for me?

Maybe I just need to play Drunk Mafia.

Have you read BM II, my first Robz Mafia game?  My planned BM is a sequel.  Some of the same mechanics.  Some new.  Some REDACTED

And if you DO want to read that game, you should also read the linked QTs.  Or you'll only be reading about 1/5th of the game.

I'm happy to look it over too.

Is toy story waiting until nov 8th? We probably want to have another game started by then..

[Jimmmmm]

I know it's not just me, but don't wait on my account.

Hangman semi-blitz seems like it will fit that bill nicely.

Grimm, too.

I think we can skip Grujah.

TA, do you think you can open your game for sign ups?

[Twistedarcher]

Yeah, PMs aren't finished but they could be shortly. We'll probably be running matrix mafia.

When do we want it opened?

[Voltaire]

Currently finishing up my RMM game, which will be Doctor-Who themed as previously stated, and known as Time War Mafia. I'll need someone willing to look over the setup who is not interested in playing.

It's definitely going to lean on the "madness" side of RMM, while still being balanced. It will also have a new mechanic that I hope will be extremely fun. Think coin tokens. Kinda.
