No Setup Mafia #1

still leaning scum on egyptian tho

yeah me too for now.

OK, this is worth noting, but all we have to do is say ā€œ50% of the town may commute tonightā€ rather than clearly specifying which roles people will use and the result is that scum have to use 2 or more people if they want to kill even one player

No

Also, if there is a switch to turn off roles, cant we just turn off the thing that counters commuter (1 random person does it and everyone else commutes) and nobody can get killed

@Huber Iā€™m aware that the setup seems very complex for new players, but I like how it gets everyone thinking and there are tons of strategies both town and scum players can employ. This kind of setup really sets apart good and bad players (in my opinion), and I think most people will enjoy the setup if they give it some thought. However, if people are still not feeling complex/non-vanilla setups, I will gladly host more vanilla-themed games in the future.

I dont care if people like it I just would like the setups to be posted while we sign up. We can avoid games we dont want and also have a day to read about them before it starts.

we are spending day one learning how to play this setup instead of playing mafia

Thatā€™s the most fun type of game in my opinion as it creates totally unexpected outcomes. Itā€™s going to take me a while to figure out how all the interactions work between roles, though.

So far KKat has been helping me and it seems youā€™re town too.

at least last setup I could just pretend it was vanilla mafia and still play

It is the #1 move for mafia to start attempting to ā€œsolveā€ the game (See: Jones on Nadota.com Mafia) when there are loopholes to all their ā€œplansā€.
@big_ass is attempting to get us to waste our abilities, basically, instead of using them right.

another reason I like the complicated games is that it gives players something to talk about on the first day other than just ā€œyoure scumā€ ā€œno youre scumā€

itā€™s really easy to sort out the players that are genuinely trying to puzzle out the game from the ones that just want to throw sand in our eyes

I only have two games of context with Asoul and in the first game he started to butt heads right out of the gate so if thatā€™s a pattern then heā€™s matching that playstyle so far.

Speakk of the devil lol

As Iā€™m typing this out he literally types a defense of not trying to solve a complicated mafia setup

I dont care if they are complicated or not. I would just like the setups posted when we sign up.

he is like that outside of mafia too

Donā€™t try to solve the game guys. Thatā€™s a scum move. Jones does that. Im a goy club gamer so you guys should listen to me

Yep thatā€™s valid
