Sully's up to his old tricks again...

Post by Victor Sullivan »

Alrighty, so I came up with an idea for a new experimental mafia. Not sure what I'm going to call it officially, but for now I'm calling it "Two Truths and a Lie Mafia" (after the icebreaker game, "Two Truths and a Lie").

The concept of it is scenes and role PMs will include exactly one lie. As far as night actions go, I'm thinking about making it so one action is a "lie" per night (cops would receive opposite results, kills would protect, protections would kill, etc. and each person can only have one "lie" action), but if you guys think it's overkill, I might just shape the roles to fit the flavor of the concept.

Thoughts? It seems there are a fair amount of games going, so I might hold off a little bit before posting a game thread.

Sounds like a bastard mod game, but since you announce the presence of the lie already, that shouldn't be a problem. I might play.

I'd have to ask, though: is it clear which three parts of a scene or PM include the two truths and a lie, or would players have to figure that out for themselves as well?

Sounds awesome, glad to see you again Victor.

I was thinking about doing some sort of anti-role game myself awhile back; I quickly lost my train of thought and ended up making Two-Sides Mafia.

I'd try to make it as clear as possible which three statements are up for consideration. And I suppose I didn't specify, but yes, everyone would know about the 'meta', or whatever you want to call it, ahead of time.

Thanks, /! I'm open to having a co-mod and balance-checker if you're up for it.

That sounds like an awesome concept! I would totally play.

And a bit bummed that I missed out on Slash's Two Sides Mafia. That sounds like a really fun game as well.

Welcome back you two.

I'm not sure if I'd play, but the idea sounds interesting. Could be a bit OP for mafia I think depending on what actions are faked.

That'd be great! I'll PM you sometime later when I have a loose set-up.

True enough. I'm sure / and I will adjust accordingly.
