Yeah, do. I'm not moderating it. But I am scum here!

I personally am wondering how to make a game where you want to behave as scummily as possible- and being scummy is not a reason to lynch someone.

But feel free to talk about whate'er gametypes you want, discuss viability, playability, fun factor, and the like.

Anti-FoS on you all.

Idea-thief >_>

Do you mind if I start my own thread?  I was considering keeping a running tally of interesting game ideas at the top and such, and I think it'd need a moderator of some sort.  Plus, three interested people does not genius make.

Erm.  Hope that doesn't bother you.

The secondpost is as good a place for a leaderboard as the first. *waves scepter*

Besides, you said I was better with words.

That's true, you're a lot better with saying things in ways that will make other people understand them.  *grumblegrumble*

Let's both try to function as mods of sorts, then?  I'll keep tallies of the ideas and stuff in the second post, and maybe you can make the top all official-ish.

15 player game. 2 cult leaders, 2 groups of 2 mafiosos. Everyone else is townies.

If it's a closed setup, then it won't work. If it's an open setup...how the hell do you not deadlock?

"Systematically Make Others Win" = unworkable I think...

[Pandarsenic]

Everyone is told there's a normal Mafia game going on. Secretly, everyone is a jester.

[Neruz]

I prefer the 'everyone is Mafia except for a group of Masons who are in on it' idea that was posted in another thread. I think, if applied properly, that could be a supurb game.

Another idea is a puzzle-mafia i'm currently toying with, i don't want to spoil the details.

The above mentioned mason game could be interesting if there was also a "survivor" mason group .

Systamatically Make Others Win or Lose could work, however. It'd probably be something like SMOL. but the players can vote to end the game (making everybody still alive "win), make a player "win", or make a player "lose". The catch is, one of the players is a Jester. That player has to "lose" to win. The rest of the players have to "win" to win.

The 'mason acting as scum' game sounds good enough.

Myself, I prefer puzzles and games that fill up on crazy.  KWN was a riot in just how twisted everyone was in figuring it out.  In fact, it seems that 'figuring out game' is what makes people wake up the most.  Toon mafia always has that in spades as people wonder just how the game is set up 'this time'.  BYOR mafia has that as well. 

People just seem to like fighting the game as much as they do fighting each other.

[Vector]

Yeah, I'm big on the puzzles, too.  I think we need more bastard mods that encourage us to try different strategies.  I also think that the BYOR mafias are a natural extension of the Weirdo/Ridiculous Mafia phenomenon, and in some way could be considered their "evolved form."

I personally really want more vanilla games, though that might just be me... studying others' behavior outside of power-role-bloom is fun and profitable.

[Leafsnail]

I have been drafting out plans for a super-bastard game where people apply by pms and aren't even told who's playing.

Yeah, it's bastard-ish.

@Vector

Just need one more person to join Not So Beginner's Mafia 2

@Leaf

I've heard of a game like that.  The host even encouraged outsiders to go in and post/vote as if they were playing to further hide everyone.
