Signups are now CLOSED

I'm bumping everyone including javelin, and that'll make it 21 so we can start with an odd-number of players (already I am anticipating inactives but hey, at least we're chaotic). Aaaand sorry again Zylon but ever since R1, I've always felt cautious around low-posters like Kazumi and Avalon so I'm going to have to refuse you again. Come back when I've seen you post alot and almost everyday. Otherwise, you're just going to be lurking again I can feel it.

9 out of the 10 dual-role PMs have confirmed with me, with 1 of those I will ask again for reconfirmation because I answered his question too late. I will be PM-ing the single-role PMs later on within the day and hopefully we'll get started in 1-3 days give or take. So just chill for the moment.

I feel like I should say that I'll be in Romania from the 12th, so if the game goes on that long I'll need someone on the bench to take over. Or I might die early. It's probably not an issue, but if there are more people wanting to participate than there are places then it might be best for me to sit out. That's a big "if" by the way. This is by no means me wanting to sit out.


Hmmm...I wonder if Cronos will be up for it by then. Otherwise, I will find someone to be your proxy...probably one of the already dead players who will die early.

Oh and thanks Cronos! Let's just say I was REALLY productive when I got erased.

Excuse me, but I have a question.
What dual-role have to offer? Does they have 2 abilities?

lol no the dual roles are the ones who have the ability to choose 2 roles by signing up early.

Some of the roles repeat but only twice. 7 of those are normal townies (Strangely nobody got them...which is good XD) and some of the roles are just mirror counterparts of other (like x for WLG or x for ESMF). So there are actually less kinds of roles than you think.

Still...that doesnt mean teh really unique roles are not boring as hell. And I didn't think them all up from scratch. I used a template from existing mafia games in real life. Majority of the time was spent on Flavor: adding the Stickpagian labels and assigning them to the appropriate user. I hope I got all of em right or something.




Okay, I have sent all but 2 of the other Role PMs and so far all 10 of the original 2-choice ones are all confirmed. I gotta go outta town for a second but I'll be back to PM those remaining before this day ends.

I fear that there is an overpowered role that we don't know about.

that's a pretty baseless assumption, considering hewitt's done everything in his power to balance the game

Strongman variation (Sided with Mafia) - The ability to kill anyone at night without hindrance, no Cockblock nor Doctor protection can save you.

@Scarecrow, its more or less balanced, but Hew/Turn purposely made it imbalanced since this intermission is more for fun.

Both of your are kinda incorrect.

1) this game isn't as imbalanced as much as it's just NOT seriously balanced. If it were imbalanced, no one would join because all the roles would be pretty much gamebreakers. It's a fun intermission where all the roles are hidden and there are 3 factions at work.

2) There is no "overpowered" role. And if it did, it would have been severely nerfed for this set up. And no, nanite I don't have strongmen in this game OR ninjas OR JOATs for that matter.

i'd imagine the odds of winning or losing are still more or less the same. hewitt is likely well aware that making any player too overpowered would effect the entertainment value and lead to a shitstorm of whinging

I would say so, or rather I hope so...the thing is about this is it was made for 18 people. I think various variables not just the increase in head count is sure to cause significant sway, but not as much as it would end the game with everyone disappointed.

Ah alright, and what the heck are JOATs? And to my knowledge, in this setup, the ninja's would just be fancy Goons, unless the other roles that counteract them are present.

Anyway, how many custom roles would you say you put into those 52 names? (Custom as in fully, originally made by Hewitt/turnstile)
