Mysterious voice: Hey, what number did we get up to with CYOR Mafia? 3, 4? 2010?

Second voice: Why not go for the personal touch? How about ME?

Third voice: Or something inspirational? Like Vista?

Second voice: I don't know... I just get this feeling that that's been done before.

Third voice: Well, why not Lion? Or something awesome, like Kiwi?

First voice: I know, we'll just bung a 7 on it!

Second and Third voice: Oh, of course, yes!

So, I used to run these. The eagle-eyed of you will note that I'm on the advanced mod queue again, and so I'm just trying to work up a bit of enthusiasm. The idea is that at the time of signing up, players also submit a role that they would like to be in the game. This has usually caused spectacular problems for me as a mod. It's all seemed to work okay, but that was more due to luck than design. So, for this next enterprise, I will announce the following rules:

 

 

1. The game shall be in rotating small-town format. This means that the role pms will all be contained in the thread, and players will be told each night what their role is for the following day.

 

1a. Roles are, of course, independent from alignments. Alignments will not rotate.

 

2. For the sake of ensuring a basic lack of swingy-ness, players are not allowed to submit: a role that simply kills at night (eg. vigilante), a role that simply investigates at night (eg. cop), or a role that simply protects at night (eg. doc). I want to see interesting and subtle roles. As examples, a role that creates neighbour couplings (enables people to talk privately at night), roles that affect other roles (blocking, redirecting, or otherwise transforming), or roles that affect the game mechanics (eg. causing a player to miss out on the nightly allocation of roles, effectively becoming a vanilla townie for the next day).

 

2a. Because alignments are strictly separate from roles in this game, I will not allow roles that affect alignments. This means that I will not allow, for example, a cult recruiter role.

 

 

Sound good? Get planning!
